A: From wipe menu select Advanced Wipe, select preload partition to be wiped and reboot recovery.

I'm about to receive a new A5 2017 and update it to official OREO right out of the box.

After having updated, there's the TWRP step and I just wanted to know of I have to also flash the usual encription thing (opt verity or something like that) I have almost always flashed after a fresh twrp install.

Hey,
I have a problem and I don't know how to fix it, cuz I never had that.
I've installed TWRP successfully and I can start it normally, but TWRP don't have access to any Files in Internal Storage.

I installed TWRP on A520F (with Firmware DBT, Android 8.0)

Kind regards,
DasNuddel // Charles
