Step 5: Now wipe the current system. To do so, return to home screen and tap the Wipe option in TWRP. Tap Advanced Wipe and select partitions like system, boot, data, cache, dalvik cache. Do not in any case select internal storage, unless you know what you are doing.

Step 6: Now return to home screen again and tap Install option. Navigate to the ROM file from your internal storage and select it.
