hi,
i've just made a rooted, debloated stock rom with android kitchen.
when i try to flash it i get this error "E: error executing updater binary in zip"
ive tried TWRP recovery, versions 2.8.5.0 and 2.8.1 & Philz recovery.
any idea??
i can flash any other rom fine
Take the entire meta-inf folder from the original rom you started with, if you have it. I ran into the same problem the other day. It worked for me.

Hello,
I rooted my G2 D802, and installed CWM recovery (after trying to install TWRP, but failing).
Everything seemed to work, until I tried to flash some zip files through CWM.
I get an error, with every zip I tried to flash : "checking if loki-ifying is needed/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. /by-name/boot needs lokifying. [-] Failed to find function to patch.
Error loki-ifying the boot image."
Little precision : when trying to install TWRP, I had problems with the loki file in a "tmp" folder...
Shoud I try to find a boot image from the D802 on the web and restore it ?
Thanks.
Philz recovery.
Try out philz recovery. It has an auto-lokifying feature.
I'm using it on my d802 since i rooted an have'nt had any issues flashing.
So I was able to root and flash Jedi elite on my friends note 3 with no issues, yet I can't flash a custom to my t mobile galaxy s3let to save my life.
I reinstalled stock firmware, reformatted my sd card, rebooted, rerooted everything and nothing works.
I really want to run PAC man but I even tried to flash CM and it wouldn't take.
I keep getting an error that says
E: error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip external_sd/pac_d2tmo- nightly
I am flashing the right zips but my phone won't take.
I tried the latest twrp as well as the latest CWM.
I also tried deleting all the asserts and rezipping then flashing.
Still won't work.
Any help?
Hi Everone,
I was using the latest ColorOS for the find 5 and decided to change to the omnirom.
My phone was rooted and so i've installed TWRP Custom Rec.
I downloaded the omnirom nightly for the find 5 aswell as Gapps and the Modem 4.1 file.
Once in TWRP Recovery i've chosen to install the omnirom.zip from my SD card.
It starts to install and then says:
-formatting system
-extracting system
-Symlinking
-Set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed.
-E: Error executing updater binary in zip ' (sdcard)
-Error flashing zip (sdcard, path...)
-Updating Partition Details...
--FAILED--
The problem now is that i cannot get beyond the TWRP recovery screen.
It's showing me the menu and its options but for the last 4 hours i've been googling and asking for help but so far no succes.
The Rom is not installing and i cannot exit from the TRP rec. menu.
Any thoughts?
*update*
When the battery died, i recharged it and it booted again to the TWRP recovery screen after displaying the message
"Touchscreen Firmware update in Progress. Please Wait...
Hello XDA Developers,
I had a device that was rooted on stock rom and recovery. What happened was that an OTA was installed and it went to the "boot verify certification" screen. I had to install Ubuntu to get TWRP running again.
I'm able to boot into TWRP, and I tried installing different ROMs, using adb sideload, from Stock ROM, ParanoidAndroid, and Madri-ROM.
The first one was able to install, but when I reboot the phone, I get stuck on the LG logo. I wait for an hour and it still does not do anything.
So now I try the other two custom ROMs, and I get an error saying "E:Error executing updater binary in zip "... .zip".
Then it reads "Error flashing zip '... zip'.
My question is: What else can I do to get this phone working again? I would like stock ROM, and preferably stock recovery back (Recovery is secondary).
Thanks in advance,
DaAznMan
Note: When I use adb sideload, the .zip file that gets transferred becomes a file called 'sideload.zip'. Is that correct? If not, what do I need to do to fix it?
Hi guys, so I recently tried to install a ROM (Bliss) and well TWRP gave me an error saying 'error executing updater binary in zip'. I could not install any other ROM via recovery neither. Google was telling me that other people (on different phones) and they had reflashed their primary ROM and then flashed their new ROM straight after but I have no way to flash something via TWRP at all, so I thought there are two fixes: first, try and install stock ROM via Odin, or change my recovery. Luckily, I found CWM Recovery and my life was saved. Yep!
