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!

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 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 there,
I installed CM a while ago via App + Wininstaller. Yesterday I wanted to install PAC ROM instead to my N4 but I got stuck in bootloop. So I tried many different ROMS - AOKP, CM and even Stock-ROM (4.4.4) but everytime I got stuck in a bootloop.
So far I managed to recover it with the toolkit and I got Stock-ROM again. After that I followed Step-by-Step rooting-Guide, installed CWM/TWRD (I tried both) and again: Bootloops... I checked the MD5s and everything was okay. Once after Toolkit Recovery I got various errors in TWRD when trying to install via ZIP (tried SD-Card and sideload) like "unable to open zip" or "can't write to /tmp/"...
Well I realy like to try PAC ROM instead of CM but at this point the only possibility for a custom rom is CM via the installer-combo (apk/windows).
Any suggestens?
EDIT:
Please delete thread. There is an issue with my SD card resulting in files being corrupted. Massive losses. I was able to successfully install ROM by uploading files to Internal Storage
Hello,
I have been attempting to flash AryaMod : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-3-tw-lollipop-5-1-1-t3326976/post67619860#post67619860
on my SM-N900W8. From the stock rom, I rooted it using CF-Auto-Root, then installed TWRP.
After downloading and putting all the necessary files on my SD Card, I attempted to install this but TWRP kept giving me file errors "Error: Secure Check Fail : aboot" when attempting to install anything, the kernel, the rom, the bootloader and modem, etc. Nothing was working.
I read that TWRP isn't very good with Aroma stuff and I should be using CWM, so I attempted to install that. Everytime I installed CWM, it would say it is going into recovery, then restart the phone, over and over..
Figured that I needed to just do a fresh install. I get a new Stock Lollipop 5.0 DOH1 from Kies, reroot with CF-Auto-Root, then install CWM from ROM Manager. Same thing, recovery bootloops.
Is there a way to fix either CWM or to get Aryamod to work with TWRP? Is the CF-Auto-Root breaking the recovery install since it installs through recovery as well?
At this point I've spent an entire day trying to get Aryamod with no luck. What the heck am I doing wrong?
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.
