  2. Wipe and format Device (Both are different) • After you flash and boot into the new TWRP recovery, format data and reboot to the recovery again. Now, wipe all the partitions (i.e. cache, metadata, data, internal storage). Wiping Internal might throw an error because of missing /data/media/ which is okay, reboot to recovery again.
    This format data and wiping of other partitions is required only once every clean flash. NB : encryption is now enabled by default and that is why a clean flash would cost you a data format.
