Unable to install lollipop roms on G2 (TWRP)

Hey guys,
well I tried to install Resurrection Remix today , tried two different versions of it , with and without the MD5 , I also tried updating TWRP to the latest, I tried downgrading the bootloader to JB , I tried Autorec and have no idea where to go from here. I get the same error every time "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.2-20150722-d802.zip" I dont get this error if Im on 2.7.0.0 ,the installation just stops and says error, Any ideas on how to fix this will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Edit:
Sorry I forgot,
I have a D801 (D801 Recovery), I'm currently on cloudy2.2, Im using the Dorimanx kernel for kitkat, my baseband is M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190082.
I have the D802 Version of Cloudy2.2 and the D801 kernel.
Update:
Well I tried to install Cloudy G3 (Lollipop) and it gave no errors in installation , but it got stuck in a boot loop , so I tried to restore a backup and now even the backup (Kitkat) and all previous kitkat roms are all stuck in boot loop (Clean installs). Am I missing something here? Is there some other prerequisite to installing a lollipop rom?

Post your queries with complete device details (includes model,software,kernel and baseband) atleast or none of us can help you.

Updated the thread with the information you asked.

Use the tot or kdz method and restore back to kitkat stock. Then you should root using stump root then install twrp again. From there you have to download a flashable twrp due to the fact that the one that comes with autorec does not flash properly. Also, you got stuck in boot loop for cloudy g3 due to the fact that you did not install a bumped bootstack for lollipop. Ask @bender_007 for and questions regarding autorec or for a custom autorec.

Thanks a lot for the reply , and I successfully went back to stock kitkat using the kdz method , after which I rooted the phone. I didn't install a recovery because I was waiting for exactly this. But one questions , the only ones I found are from Blastagator and there is no lollipop bootstack there for the D801 (only D800) the D801 only has KK and JB. But still , thanks a lot.

Since you are on a d801 you can actually upgrade to lollipop, then you should download autorec v2 for the d801 from the play store. Once that is done you should install a new recovery then you can flash your lollipop ROM.

Hey, thanks for all the help everyone , I managed to make it work by updating to the lollipop bootloader by OTA updates. Then rooted and then both Cloudy and AICP flashed just fine and worked with no problems. But as for Resurrection Remix , still no luck , it gives the same error... but ... I guess AICP will have to do

Did you install the autorec v2? Did you update the twrp recovery from the listed website? The twrp that is installed by autorec is not meant for flashing Roms.

Root 5.1.1 idea

5.1.1 idea for routing. 5.0.2 kernel extract from spell with flashtool, then root with kingroot, and then extract the 5.1.1 kernel flash. I'm using this method for old xperia z

5.1.1 boots with 5.0.2 kernel?

Just for first stage boot like recovery.
But it might work. I'm pretty sure it did for me.

Why not upgrade to 5.1.1 using a pre-rooted zip?

There is a installer which uses adb (with a PC of course) and he has kingroot, so yh!

Thanks for the edit
Link to the method you mentioned?
I tried nuts installer, didn't work because I don't have root. Bone stock 5.1.1, LB.
Tried kingroot app, didn't work. It also says on the kingroot thread that it's not compatible with 5.1.
I arrived at the conclusion that I have to downgrade, root, install recovery, then flash a prerooted image. Would love to know if there's a better way.

Hi irishrally. I'm sorry to hear that these methods aren't working but you can try to flash a 5.0.2 custom kernel and flash recovery too with fastboot then install root then flash the original kernel from a 5.1.1 ftf. Try this method and come back to me!
Thanks,
Mohamed
Edit: I am making a FTF for you with only a kernel i will link it here when I'm done.

Whoops. Never read that you are on a LB. Yes, if you are on a locked bootloader then you need to downgrade and root. install nuts dual recovery via pc, then flash a pre-rooted zip.
sorry for the confusion.
Thanks,
Mohamed

You are correct, you have to downgrade to get root access and then you can flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1 ROM.
The reason for this is the later ROM have patched the exploits used to get root access, that's why they don't work if you've already upgraded.
After you've got root don't follow the prompts to upgrade to the latest version or use the official Sony tool, doing it that way will lose root and custom recovery and you'll have to repeat the process all over again.
After you've got root use PRFCreator to make a pre-rooted flashable zip with custom recovery and flash it from the custom recovery. Use XperiFirm to grab whichever 5.1.1 version you want to use, probably a Customised one for your locale so you don't have the operator bloatware they'll add. I'm making an assumption here but if you're on the forum wanting root access I'd be surprised if you wanted bloatware.
You'll have to do this each time there is an update but that's just a cost or inconvenience of wanting root access.

I am UB. Can i install the nuts recovery via pc and install supersu from the playstore and will work?

If you had UB. Just fastboot any kernel with recovery (eg. androplus kernel). After that reboot to recovery and flash preroot zip LP 5.1.1. Simple.

installing twrp

I have my tmobile d801 running lollipop 5.0.2 rooted with twrp installed. Now that ive discovered that there are no roms for lollipop im going to downgrade to original firmware that runs 4.4.2 so i can try out some of the roms that have been developed. Ive found a way to root, though i cannot find a guide to install twrp, all the guides seem to have twrp for a different model of lg g2.
What version of twrp do i need and how can i flash it for the d801?

Go to the Play Store and search for AutoRec for your D801 for lollipop and install and your good to go as long as your rooted.

doesn't that contradict what firmware is going to be on the phone? im on lollipop 5.0.2 now, i think the original is 4.4.2 if i downgrade by using the lg toolkit. does autorec work for d801 work for kitkat? confusion here. At this point being rooted and twrp on lollipop, im not able to install any of the roms that have been made for 4.4.2.
Can you make it clear to me?

If you`re on 5.0.2 lollipop then you need to install autorec from play store to get twrp installed but you must be rooted in order for it to work.If your trying to downgrade back to kit kat then I think you don`t have to be rooted or have twrp installed at all in your flashing to stock kit kat rom.
If your trying to return to stock kit kat read here.

You are misunderstanding. I am using a Tmobile d801 on lollipop that is rooted and twrp installed. There are no custom roms.
I want to revert to 4.4.2, so that i can use custom roms, so the autorec for lollipop would do me no good to root and install twrp.
What would i need to do to root and get twrp installed on 4.4.2? i know how to go back to stock, but im going back to stock rom because i want to root and install twrp. What you are telling me is to use the autorec for lollipop...which ive already done. im rooted and twrp installed on lollipop, but i want to downgrade and need to know how to install twrp on 4.4.2

That's because the phone is not rooted.Maybe try LG one click root.If the phone didn't reboot and you see android updating then it's probably not rooted.

You need to turn on developers mode and follow the instructions carefully.When it asks you go in download mode and you get stuck at 90% just wait about a minute and then hold power down and let phone reboot.Let me know if you need full instructions.

If that didn't work.This is what I used on my phone.I just remembered.

That didn't work on my T-Mobile G2 D801 ("Device is patched, sorry"). In fact I've tried Purple Drake, ioroot, StumpRoot, LGOneClickRoot. None of these work. I wonder what's different with your G2 that allows StumpRoot (or any other rooting) to succeed. I'm contemplating a downgrade all the way to KK 4.2.2 as both LP 5.0 and KK 4.4.2 seem impervious to rooting.

I downgraded my phone back to Kit Kat on a D800 and rooted Kit Kat stock Rom just today with StumpRoot.If you are on stock Kit Kat Rom it should.If you install the StumpRoot apk on your phone and let it did it thing and when ask to reboot phone after reboot it should reboot on its on once more and then your rooted.Supernova will not show up in app drawer but you should be rooted.Just work for me.I think because you don't see it in app drawer you think it's not rooted.They're apps in Play Store to check.

No, I always use a root checker to get root status. It seems we're comparing apples & oranges - we have a different phone and different versions of Android. But thanks for trying to help.

It may bootloops again because the link you gave is sdk23 which is MM. Redarding the topic; he wants the xposed for Lollipop.

Hi,
I tried searching for a working Xposed SDK framework for my S4 i9500 Exynos on Stock Indian 5.0.1 ROM. Can anyone please direct me to which framework to Install ?
Also, Is the stock ROM Odexed or Deodexed ? And Do I need a Deodexed ROM for Installing Xposed Framework.

In my case, as soon as I flash ROM, i make xposed work, before instaling any app, if i get stuck, i flash ROM again...
