about a week ago when 4.4 roms surfaced for mako, i wanted to try one out. when i did it failed, so i read that you had to either update TWRP or use CWM. so i tried to update TWRP with goo, and goo is down i guess, so someone posted a flashable zip of the newest TWRP(2.6.3.2) and CWM(6.0.4.4) so i got them both, and flashed the TWRP, and it flashed the 4.4 roms. and i used my nandroid to go back to 4.3(Carbon ROM) and now it fails when i try to flash a new nightly (i facrtory resetted) and it failed on my backup too, so i flashed CWM, and rebooted and it fails on everything too. (new nightly, and a copuple of roms i had been meaning to try) and i just fastbooted the official image from teamw.in website (2.6.3.3) and its failing on nightlies, but restored my backup.
what can i do to make it flash again?
should i downgrade to TWRP 2.6.3.0, i think that is where i was and it would flash, I THINK. lol.
please help.

I'm rooted correctly and have the newest TWRP recovery installed. I've successfully flashed the update for a newer recovery than the stock one when you first put a custom recovery and I flashed an update for the radio on my d800.
I haven't tried flashing any stock roms only new 4.4.1 or.2 Roms. My question is did I miss a step, do i need to flash something else like the latest OTA then wipe again and go for AOSP. I'm by no means new to flashing.
When i try to flash it this is what I get
"error executing updater binary in zip "
Any tips?
Nvm. I switched recovery. Used the unofficial CWR and even though it holds up on clearing the cache it installed beautifully.
Hello,
I've rooted my own note 3 and flashed Temaseks unofficial cm 12 rom. Everything works perfect so I decided to do the same thing for my father. It all went well, first I rooted his phone, then I flashed CWM and flashed cm 12 by temasek. The rom works fine but I forget to install the Gapps. So I tried to install Gapps but I got an error "Failure Status 6". I googled on that error and someone told it has to do something with CWM. I tried to flash a different version of CWM but now I can't reboot into recovery mode anymore. So I can't flash anything.
I flashed another version of CWM but this one also doesn't work. Whenever I try to boot the phone into recovery mode, the blue line shows up. Rebooting into recovery mode, but after a few secs, the phone just boots the normal way. Is there anyone that can help me to get CWM back to work? In the mean time I'll try to flash TWRP by Odin.
Thanks in advance!
So I flashed latest version of CWM: Buildversion; 6.13.0, CWM Base Version V6.0.4.7. I can reboot into recovery now but still can't install Google Apps due to failure status 6. On my own Phone I run a different version of CWM, but when I try to flash it, the phone won't boot into recovery mode anymore. It only boots into recovery when I flash this V6.0.4.7 . How can I get rid of this version and flash an older version of CWM?
You'll probably have to Odin back to stock and start over...

You mean If there is no other way to get the Google Apps on the phone, I have to go back to stock. I did make a backup with CWM on the while it was running custom firmware. Now I have 4 files on my comuter, 3.tar and 1.md5 . If I recover them, I will still have this not working CWM version on my phone right? Isn't there a easier way to delete CWM, can I flash TWRP over CWM and see if it will install these Gapps?
Yeah, you should be able to flash TWRP over it. TWRP is much better anyway, in my opinion. Once you get the recovery issue sorted, I really wouldn't't recommend trying to flash just the gapps. It would probably work, but it's also quite likely to cause some weird issues. It's always best to flash gapps immediately after flashing a ROM, without leaving recovery.
I would flash TWRP, wipe everything but your internal SD, re-flash the ROM, flash the gapps, and everything should be cherry.
Edit: here is the link to download TWRP.

I appreciate your effort, thank you. The recovery issue is solved. I flashed Chainfires Root script and that installed the stock recovery. However, when I tried to install and older CWM version I got back in the recovery reboot cycle. But once I installed the latest CWM it booted in recovery. So I flashed Chainfires Root once again and had the stock recovery back. From there on I tried to install TWRP but got the recovery boot cycle again. My phone is now running android 5.0.2 and I think that's the problem.... :S I'll try again to flash Chainfires Root script to get the stock recovery back. From there on I will try to flash the link you gave to me with Odin and hope that will fix it. Do you have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Your version of TWRP works so far. It reboots into RecoveryMode. Now I'll wipe and try to install Temaseks Cm 12 followed by Gapps! Thanks so far!
Okay, it's solved. Can't thank you enough for you help. Bless you!!
No problem. Glad you got it figured out!

Sounds like a problem with your recovery to me, but please don't use all caps, it's difficult to read properly
Same Question - easier to read?
Was previously rooted running a flashed rom (firekat deodexed v7), but had to restore, when trying to update to newer version of this rom, wouldn't update. So i restored to stock 4.4 kitkat ank4 and then did the upgrade thru tmobile to lollipop. I then rooted again with cf root and flashed recovery with flashify, everything went smooth. Tried flashing new rom and it will not flash any rom. (tried beanstalk 5.0050-20150414-trltetmo, cmremix_trltetmo-5.0.2.v6.0.zi0,959, cm-12.1-2015050 and cm-12-20141220-unofficial-trltetmo, darthstalker_note4-v1 and some others. Did full wipe, cache, dalvik, etc, .
Have then restored to stock n910t-cod6 lollipop. Cf root and flashify twrp. Did backup and also restore from backup will also not work, just goes into bootloop.
Also did a full restore/wipe from settings on phone.
When flashing, keep getting error "unable to open zip file" - error flashing zip 'external_sd/beanstalk-5.0050-20150414-trltetmo.zip"

I was running CM 14.0 with TWRP. I did a OTA download through CM Updater to 14.1 nightly. The phone rebooted to recovery and nothing happened. I manually found the OTA under sdcard/cmupdater and flashed the file. Now, whenever i try to boot the phone, it keeps going into recovery. I tried restoring nandroid backup, wiping everything and installing the older cm14.0 zip and nothing worked, phone keeps going into recovery, what can I do, please help!!
I think there are few users reported same issue before.
Try to check the ROM thread. If Im not mistaken, the solution has been posted there.
Hope this help. Good luck

Sorry, I panicked and didnt look through the forums thoroughly before posting. I managed to boot my phone up by flashing factory images and going back to stock. Afterwards, I tried to install the CM 14.0 again (StephanMC's build) which was working fine before I tried the update process. TWRP throws error 7 when I try to flash it. I looked around and found that the problem can be fixed by editing the Meta-INF, but I did not have this problem before, did I mess something up in the factory image flash process?
Would it be wise to go ahead and force install the ROM by editing the zip?
Phone is Lenovo A6000, not plus. I installed multiple TWRPs, 3.1.0 and 2.9 something.
I even installed CWM, still couldn't boot to the recovery.
Now, I know how to flash with fastboot, and I know how to boot. Booting doesn't work at all, it says "booting" and never finishes.
Flashing says "okay" and I reboot, do a reboot to recovery, and I get put into bootloader/fastboot.
Any help? I just bought the phone today, no one messed with it.
Edit: Nevermind. CWM installed. How do I install TWRP, so it works? Also, forgot to mention that the phone has the latest stock rom, 4.4.4.
Edit#2: While trying to install "TWRP-3.1.0-Lenovo-A6000.img",
I got an error.
"Can't open /tmp/update.zip (bad)"
"Installation aborted."
Edit#3: Same error with multiple TWRP images.
First of all the twrp 3.1.0 is meant for nougat roms. Since you are flashing that recovery on KitKat rom which it won't support. So first try updating phone to stock lollipop. Then flash twrp 2.8. then take a complete backup(most important) and save it on SD card. After that flash any rom you want. If you are flashing marshmallow or nougat rom then after flashing rom flash 3.1.0 twrp.
I have long ago (10 minutes after last edit) fixed the problem already by flashing stock firmware through some weird software, and then started updating to latest lollipop firmware, and then installed TWRP 3.1 and then installed RR android version 7.1.2. But, thank you for trying to help. I hereby ask a moderator to close the thread because the problem was resolved. Thank you.
