Experiencing Bootloop after TWRP backup. - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I m using falcon XT1033 on 5.0.2 lollipop.
Recently I performed a TWRP BACKUP on my device.
After the backup it went into Bootloop.
Only started when I did a factory data reset.
While unlocking too it showed some error. I can't remember the error. But the status shown was 'UNLOCKED'.
Please help.

So how am I supposed to take a backup??
Without backup, would it be safe to install a Custom Rom..??
Can you make a backup successfully on Philz?

v2.8.5 works, and was made by @h2o64. I have not tested v2.8.6 - it was contributed by another user.

Have you confirmed.
And pls explain how to change the recovery... I m unfamiliar with this stuff!

The screen flickering is a different issue and not related to backups
As for the backups I suggest you to NOT take it because some people still experiencing problems with it

You can flash a rom there is no problem with that but backup restore is buggy with twrp
You can use Philz touch for that

I don't get you.
It doesn't show up in my internal storage.
When I go to mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup... It shows empty folder.
I tried to pull up using CWM backup manager but It just created a folder named 'CWM Backups' in my internal storage. Empty folder again.
I'm new to this stuff.

What version of philz are you using? Are you sure you can backup and restore a Lollipop ROM successfully, because only TWRP worked for me.

I m using Philz Touch 6.58.7 and CWM 6.0.5.1
TWRP 2.8.4 caused problems like bootloop when I took a backup. It showed some kind of error which I can't remember now.
Philz didn't had a problem...
I have not restored. Just took a backup.
Do you know how to take a backup of just a ROM excluding media, data, apps??

Can I do it after Flashing ROM or should I install Twrp and then Flash ROm, gapps, kernel?
And if I need to flash it, should I change name off file twrp.img to boot.img? And flash via fast fastboot?

? What is that
I just instalated TWRP manager and this app did not find my recovery but allow to download and install TWPR to partition /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
Should that be OK?

I don't know much about TWRP but I think you should format everything(system,data,cache,dalvik cache)and install ROM again
If it says same error and could not format
Avoid those steps just flash ROM
Cause most of the ROMs have format script
