Restoring using TWRP

Hello,
I am flashing a custom rom and using TWRP for the first time. When restoring, there are 3 checkboxes (system, data, and boot)
What do the boot and system options mean?

Kernel aka boot.img
Keep it checked. Otherwise, you may have an incompatible kernel for your ROM and will get bootloops.

Thanks. So when i install a new rom, i only need to check boot and data?
Because at first, i checked all 3 and i ended up where i started (without the new rom installed).

The restore and backup options have nothing to do with flashing a new rom. When flashing a new rom wipe, system, data cache, and dalvik. Then flash the rom

Also make sure to backup your EFS folder in TWRP and store it on your PC. Better safe then sorry

Not sure what the EFS folder is, but thanks. So i ran into another problem. I lost my root access (not sure how). So i would have to reroot now and i bet that EFS folder is gone. I still have my Nandroid backup from before.
Thanks

You can root with TWRP itself or flash superSU.zip 1.94 (http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip) in recovery. Your EFS folder isn`t gone.

Whenever I do a backup or a restore, I check data, system, and boot.
When installing a new ROM, Wipe System, Data, Cache, and Dalvik. Then flash.
Search the forum for nexus 5 efs backup. Its always a good idea.

So i downloaded the superSU.zip 1.94 file and attempted to flash in TWRP in recovery. The menu options are not the same since i've lost root access. It takes me to the advanced menu with ADB Sideload, Terminal Command, etc. So how do i flash superSU from here? Help please!

Not wiping

I have tried to install CyanogenMod 13 alpha on my Moto G (XT-1032)
Now I'm on infinite loop, but on TWRP trying to wipe everything but the Internal Storage, it's taking too long and doing nothing, is there another way to wipe data and cache? ( I was with old TWRP)

What kind of error do u get?

I think I never messed around with that since I never read about it...

The latest version of TWRP is available here. It sounds like it might be worth flashing / reflashing it.

Change the version of your twrp or it could be that when you download the zip some file doesn't download correct.

I installed the official TWRP and I still have the same problem to make a system backup, specifically with the partition /data always gives error:
createtarfork () process ended with error 255
please someone knows the reason?

If i update OOS by flashing the OOS zip , do I just install twrp image after I install oos, or the do i install the image and zip after a update?

Did you flash lazy flasher ?
6.6 worked for me. But I couldn't set up the device cause " device locked". I even tried to unlock it via i.mi.com but I already unbinded rn5 from it.
Someone got a solution? I can't connect to WiFi caus it's not opening the settings....

You need to format data and then install the right ROM for your device.
