Can't boot after flash Android 4.4 with TWRP

I did with the help of this theard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
Code:
1) Download the OTA.zip and copy to your phone.
2) Boot into recovery.
3) Flash the OTA just like you would a ROM.
4) Reboot.
Then I flash it with TWRP 2.6.3.0
After flashing I got this message:
Code:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip "filename"
E: Error installing zip file 'filename'
I tried Dalvik/Cache wipe but it didn't help.
Now I can't boot into Android, it show GOOGLE and then blank screen
I can go to TWRP but when I try to use ADB sideload to connect with my computer, I get this message:
Code:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip "inner.zip"
E: Error installing zip file 'inner.zip'
I don't have any rom in SDcard but the file "signed-occam-KRT16S-from-JWR66Y"
May anybody help me with this problem, please
In the worst case, where can I fix my phone with fee

Any changes to the /system partition or by rooting can cause OTA to fail. Flashing OTA is only recommended to a pure untouched stock rom.
Follow the guides in my signature to flash 4.4 without wiping your data.

why dont you just search your issue and for fixes... Put your phone in recovery and use adb to push over a rom. I dont want to be the bad guy here but why flash an OTA zip if you are already rooted just flash a stock rom. So many of you make things so much harder for yourself than it has to be.
Sorry for bashing you but you also should always keep a nandroid on your phone. Do some research or try what I suggested and good luck but for future reference be mindful of what may happen if things go wrong

I used OTA because I didn't want to reset my phone. I know it was stupid
I read some topic and they said my problem is TWRP 2.3.6 isn't compatible with android 4.4
(I should use CWM is).
I think now I have some think like android 4.4 in my phone but it can't boot
The problem now is I can go to recovery but can't usse adb to push a rom.
I tried some search but there was no help

[Q] Can't flash any rom using CyanogenDefy?

Hello there. First of all I am a noob when it comes to flashing custom ROMs. Q&As and Guides didn't help me...
I have a Defy + MB526 , rooted ( flashed sbf because I have bl7). Stock 2.3.6
I have installed latest 2nd init using the apk.
USB debugging enabled.
The problem is that I can't flash any zip from CyanogenDefy custom recovery( Accessed using android bootmenu at reboot).
I've wiped everything before trying to flash Cm 10.2 JB. It says error 7 installation aborted every time. I did try a bunch of other versions and roms.
I created a nandroid backup using the custom recovery but I couldn't use it to recover, first because of a md5 mismatch (which I fixed) and then because of another error at the end ( some stuff couldnt be recovered). When I boot up I can't open any app, it says " Application not installed". I've tried using the 2GB card that came with the phone, same thing happens. I ended up erasing everything
What am I doing wrong? Please help me
This is ny first android phone, never installed any custom ROM before but I read its harder for the Defy though.

Come on, 60 views and no replies? Any help would be very appreciated!

Hello, thanks for your reply.
I did root my phone about 2 years ago, but good to know such an app exists.
I didn't open the archives, I just pasted it on my phone's SD card. I did try again by formatting the card inside the phone and re downloading. Same thing happens.

SD Card does work fine.
In the meantime, I tried flashing a rom again. This time I get error status 0;
After that I've successfully flashed the latest twrp, wiped, tried to install but still status 0.
I'm trying to install the MoKee rom.
EDIT:
I tried installing CM 10.2.
I get the same errors like for MoKee:

i9500: Odd issue when trying to flash ROM's

Greetings all,
So I have been trying to redo my Wanam KitKat install due to the foldermount issue and I ran into a couple of issues. Now before someone comments about that awesome app from the app store, yes I use it I just have other reasons to try and get a clean install going.
So first things first, I Odin flash the latest CWM by Sameer, do the necessary wipes and start the install. I then get this error message:
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/ROM Install/wanamlite-v40-nb3.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I power down the device and Odin flash the latest CWM Touch version and I still get the above message. I then flash Philz Touch 6.07.9 and voila, it installs without an issue. Now one of my other issues to resolve this foldermount issue is because any recovery other than the Philz version mentioned (even the latest Philz) fails to flash any files and has an issue seeing my internal storage.
So I Odin back to my earliest ICS version and try from there. Now the CWM recoveries see the correct folder path but I still get the above error and I did manage to get this code as well:
I: using /data/media for sdcard/0/clockworkmod/ . last_install_path.
I: Cant partition non mmcblk device: /devices/platform/dw_mmc.2/mmc_host/mmc2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have tried everything to try and get this to work as it should but I am stuck. Right now I have flashed the old Philz I have and restored a nandroid and the phone is fine. How do I get past these errors?
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
*edit*
I should mention that after the ICS flash I did a factory reset and wiped everything and still had the above errors...

Anyone?

CWM fails with a lot of roms. TWRP is better.

Hi, thanks for the input. Sadly TWRP also fails with the same error:
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/ROM Install/wanamlite-v40-nb3.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted

Hence the reason for my asking. Its not a bad zip so redownloading it will not get rid of the problem. My recoveries are also good zips otherwise they would not flash. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

The rom is not being flashed because you are not mounting system in Cwm before flashing the zip - it's as simple as that

[HELP OXYGEN OS] Can´t install 5.1.5 update or flash in original recovery!!

Hello, I have an OP 5 with unlocked bootloader and i was rooted. So, I'm in 4.5.13, and i'm trying to install 5.1.5 but i need to be unrooted for this.
Somehow when i removed root (magisk) my phone entered in bootloop mode (i think that magisk lost the original boot img). I flashed the stock boot img and the phone booted normally and without root. However i think that some "crumbs" of the magisk or adway stayed in my system or phone partitions and my phone continues to say that he can´t install the OTA. I've already wiped cache and data in the recovery and tried to install with adb sideload but it fails.
I still have my OOS and is working fine, but I can't update... Any ideas?
Do you think that if I do the normal settings > restore factory settings will it work? Or that option will be also damaged?
Should i boot TWRP in fastboot, and try to do a factory reset and then flash 5.1.5?
For your information, i've never flashed anything besides magisk and the attempts to update. The rom is the original as also the recovery. To flash the magisk i always booted twrp connected by usb to my PC.
I apreciate all the help!!

Even if you tried really hard it would be almost impossible to 'Brick' a Oneplus phone. We even have unbrick tools to revive dead devices. Oneplus phones are like zombies. Really hard to keep down. The price we usually pay for messing up is nothing more than having to do a clean install and having to set the phone up again. We've all been there!
Once you have TWRP installed you could try a simple swipe-to-wipe from the 'Wipe' menu in TWRP and then flash the full OOS ROM & Magisk. I would recommend going into the 'Advanced' sub menu from 'Wipe' and select every partition. This will erase your Internal Storage, so make sure you have a backup of everything on your PC. Once you've done this you should use the TWRP 'Reboot' menu to reboot back into Recovery. Copy the ROM and Magisk zips back to Internal Storage from PC and Install them from TWRP 'Install' menu.

Which TWRP are you using? It should be the latest Official version, or you could try the latest codeworkx from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cheeseburgerdumplings/files/15.1/cheeseburger/recovery/
Error 7 is a generic error code. The useful information about the error is usually in the body of text.
If you can't get TWRP to play nicely you can use it to format partitions as mentioned before, and then use it to install the stock OOS recovery from the bottom of this page:
https://downloads.oneplus.com/oneplus-5/oneplus_5_oxygenos_5.1.5/
The stock recovery is an .img, so in the TWRP 'Install' menu you need to select Image instead of Zip at the bottom of the screen. Move the stock recovery .img to Internal Storage and flash it. Reboot into Stock Recovery and flash full OOS zip.

It all works fine but when doing the OTA in the OOS to 5.1.4 the device reboots, enters in oxygenos recovery but it fails...
EDIT:
Could it be because the bootloader is unlocked?? Is it safe to lock it like i unlocked it? No problem?

Are you trying to OTA or full ROM? OTA is not going to work. Only full ROM .zip will get the job done.
Have you considered giving up on OOS for now and just try flashing a Custom ROM from TWRP? I'd recommend Dirty Unicorns Oreo for now until Pie ROMs mature. You can get their ROM from their website.. Should be no issue at all flashing it. Opengapps ARM64, 8.1 Nano is the Gapps i'd recommend.
Wipe in TWRP, Flash Firmware/ROM/Gapps/Magisk. Job done.

Initial boot can take some time.
I'm at a loss why your phone hates OOS, but it might love Custom ROMs. Give it some thought.

I don´t know how to thank you! Peace and see you one day!

Good news! :good:
You can see how resilient OP phones are. You can pretty much always get them back to a working condition. I can only guess but it sounds like you were right. Something was wrong with your Bootloader after the initial problems. Glad you got it sorted.
