Error executing updater binary in zip (TWRP)

I'm getting this error when trying to flash lollipop roms. I can flash Kitkat roms fine as I'm currently running xdabbeb VS982.5 1.0.0 (G3 rom), but it won't let me flash any lollipop rom. I installed twrp via the autorec program which installs 2.7.0.0 then I updated twrp within twrp with the flashable zip.
Please help
Thank you

Anyone?

Seriously no one knows? What is everyone else using that is flashing the latest 5.0.2 roms?
What am I getting this error?
Please help

Possible Fix
I've also had this problem. The only way I can seem to fix it is to also download the .md5 along with the rom itself. Just make sure its in the same folder as the rom. Everytime I have that problem with TWRP this seems to fix it. Let me know if it works for you!
Edit: Also I forgot to mention, if one isn't available to download I can help with that.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try. If there is no. Md5 what do I do then?

All you need to do if it comes to that is download an md5 checker on your computer. Just curious, what rom are you trying to flash?

I tried resurrection remix and liquid lollipop roms. I had no issues with the initial 5.0 lollipop roms so I'm not sure what changed with 5.0.2.
So the md5 checker generates the .Md5 then you just put that on the SD card with the rom?

Resurrection remix should have an md5 on the download page right below the rom itself.

Can you point me to the program to use on my computer? Do I just load the .zip file in the program to generate the .md5sum file then put both the zip and the .md5sum file on the sdcard before flashing?
Thanks

Nope, I downloaded the md5 file along with the zip and I'm still getting the same "error executing updater binary in zip".
Any other suggestion? How is no one else having this same issue? I'm using the latest version of TWRP 2.8.3.1 probably like most people. I don't understand.

Try to reflash the TWRP.. or maybe is something wrong with the zip file
Use the TWRP compiled by blastagator

Nope, still getting same error with latest twrp.

Finally got it working. I downgraded TWRP to 2.7.0.0 and the lollipop roms are flashing fine now.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Hi, I am having the same problem. Actually my LG G2 was stuck in boot loop with secure boot error. I used SRK tool to flash the partition files as well as TWRP recovery 2.8.6.1.

I am using and OTG cable to flash the cm-11 custom ROM but it is giving me the same error. Can anyone help ?? It has been 10 days I am trying and my phone is dying please help...
Thanks in advance...

Thanks is advance....

@[email protected] i think kk aosp room need jb bootleader

Hello everyone,
I am running a D802 on stock Lollipop and installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 via AutoRec. Now I booted into recovery, wiped System and Cache and got the Error message when installing CrDroid (Marshmallow 6.0.1). Now I tried installing TWRP 3.0.2.0, which succeeded and then downloaded the twrp 2.7.0.0 zip to try that as the ROM still wouldnt install. But it wont install the older TWRP. So I am asking for help to either
1) Install TWRP 2.7.0.0
or
2) Delete the getprop lines from updater-script (after I removed them I get an error 6 so i probably removed too much?)
Thank you in advance
(Guide for Error 7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762)
EDIT: Someone said installing another Kernel might allow installation of the ROMs. Which Kernel could work for my phone?
EDIT 2: When flashing TWRP 2.7.0.0 it says "assert failed: run_program("/tmp/loki.sh")==0". So what exactly am I missing on my phone? Is Loki the MM Bootloader?
EDIT 3: Could it be that the build.prop was deleted when I wiped system? Would be weird if that was the cause, but I simply dont know..
Edit: Booted in Downloa Mode and flashed v30D KDZ with the 2014 LG Flashtool. Works with Stock ROM for now

Check md5 of the download before flashing to make sure it matches

The binary error is due to there being a couple different versions of this phone.
We've got a c50, ms345, and a h345 recovery. The metro pcs ROM is only built to flash on the metro pcs recovery since lollipop looks at the device name and not the hardware set when flashing ROMs on certain recoveries.
here is a recovery that should work.

i would also recomend using xenonhd

I have tmobile version and the only twrp that works is the blue twrp from cm 12.1 thread. Itll flash cm and xenonHD and anything else. Must use mpcs version of roms though. I'm on xenonHD and it's smoking fast

Assistance needed - boot issues after an attempted upgrade

Couple days back, I factory reset my phone and when I went to upgrade it back to Lollipop it got stuck on my splash screen and never came out of it. While I do have TWRP installed, I didn't have the foresight to do a backup before upgrading and have tried flashing both cm-12.1.-20160627 and cm-13.0-20160723 both for the SM-G360H model.
Each time I attempt though it errors out with:
This package is for device: SM-G360H,SM-G360HU,core33g,core33gdd,core33gdx; this device is coreprimelte.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/Download/*whichever zip file*'
I'm 99% sure my phone is SM-G360H because I checked before installing TWRP roughly a month back but it's been a long week and I very well have missed something important in my haste to get my phone up and running again.
Any help or links are really appreciated.

Dude u should make sure that ur device is 100% sm g360h
Because wrong rom can mess up ur phone
SM G360H dont have 4g .check if it is like that in ur mobile network. You can also compare other diff too
If u are sure its not lte
Then change ro.product.device and ro.build.product to sm g360h/core33g in ur buildprop using es fileexplorer and flash the rom

I had the same problem before here how i fixed it ..i installed stock rom usin odin then i installed cm11 first then cm13... ..i counldn't install cm12 or cm13 directly from stock rom too without getting the error 7 . just make sure to install cm 11 first ...i know it does not make sense but that how i fixed now im using cm13
---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------
I forget ..just make sure that you have a clean download of the rom so the zip file is not corrupted.

try with CWM - not TWRP a was happy without "error 7"

Ok so as per my understanding , you have unlocked bootloader .
You also have custom recovery twrp 2.8.7 installed . Right ?
Since you wipe system , your phone is without any os right now .
So now what you do is download any stock modified rom for your device .
Download latest twrp by xanwar . Flash the twrp zip (by xanwar)from twrp 2.8.7 (already installed ).
Voila ! Now you can flash any custom rom or stock based modified roms .
I don't know this is what you asking

Ok . I understand now .
1)donwlaod latest twrp by xanwar . And flash it. So now you have latest recovery installed on your device .:fingers-crossed:
2)download gecko premium rom from Android development section here on xda . Place it on SD card .
3)reboot to recovery , wipe everything except SD card . (You will lose everything from your phone .)
4)if step 3 gives error then format data not wipe .
5)repeat step 3
6)reboot to recovery now .
Flash the rom that you downaoded (gecko premium )
7)reboot system .
8) do this first then report back .

I don't understand the logic behind not enabling usb debugging !
No need for all that .
If using windows then make sure the all driver shows up when you enter into fastboot mode .
Check from control panel of your PC . If not then reinstall the drivers . It must show asus composite ...........Blah Blah blah ...Android bridge interface .(well i use Linux so dont recall properly ).
Once the desired drivers are present you are good to go ahead .And flash proper twrp .And do the rest .
Bottom line :check drivers
Flash the latest twrp (24 July build) link below

Flash xposed zip . Sdk21 v86 works flawlessly ,
Then download the apk for xposed and install it as normal apk you can change recovery anytime but be sure that you flash your devices twrp only not others .

Error when installing new rom

So Ive been trying to install multiple different pie roms and each one gives me error 7 during the install with twrp.
Ive updated twrp to the newest 3.2.3, I read that could be the issue.
I was using nolimits rom but due to no future updates I wanted to try something different.
Im sure its something simple, but I cannot seem to find any resources.
I even tried deleting the assert lines in the rom zip, still same error.
Im at a complete loss.
I just put nolimits back on it so I at least have a working phone.
Any info is appreciated

Please post your question only once https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/updating-to-beta-22-t3879346/post78437012
Please answer some questions:
Which twrp (file name)?
Which xXx rom(file name)?
Decrypted or encrypted storage?
Which rom do you want to install (exact steps)?

Sorry for the double post, Ive been super frustrated with it.
Right now im running twrp 3.2.3.0 from the twrp website, I have tried codeworkx with no change.
I was trying multiple different roms, but for the sake of troubleshooting I was trying PixelExperience Cheeseburger 9.0
Most of the installs attempted have been through twrp so Im guessing decrypted.
And I was following the steps on the roms thread.
Factory wipe, delvik and data, then attempt the install.

Ok, I am coming from xXx_NoLimits_12.0_OP5_Oxygen_5.1.3_full and Id love to install OxygenOS Open Beta 22 Full
I can certainly install the codeworkx recovery if needed.
How can I tell if I am encrypted or not? Ive always just left things as default

Just follow instructions in first post for clean installation, make sure you made backups: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-beta-1-android-oreo-t3710003
Encryption means, you cannot access your internal storage without entering a pin when starting twrp or accessing the devices memory from outside.

So Ive followed the new install instructions from start to finish, and I cannot get past the OS flash.
Continuing to receive error 7.
Also receiving cannot mount /vendor as well

For the error 7 make sure you downloaded the correct files, without download issues(maybe use checksum). have you removed compatibility.zip from the OB22 rom zip with either 7zip or total commander?
For vendor partition error try to mount vendor partition within twrp manually, if there's no checkbox, you need to flash what I suggested you here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/updating-to-beta-22-t3879346/post78437012
Earlier open betas created this vendor partion. You can try with OB13.

I have same problem, except I tried to fix it by flashing OB19 firmware and radio zip. Now when I boot the recovery I don't get "no vendor partition" and the bootloader unlocked error, but when I try to flash ANY rom (stable 5.1.4 /open beta 19 / PIE ), the system and vendor partitions would patcg unconditionally, but I get no OS error and the device reboots to recovery. Please help.
Ps: I have magisk and TWRP 3.2.3, and tried both clean flashing and dirty flashing. the unlocked bootloader error changed even after restoring the NAND backup. I had already removed the compatibility zip from the Pie zip. I tried blu spark and codeworx versions of twrp 3.2.3

Same as my answer above. Oneplus published every open beta as an update(even when it's a full rom) of the previous version hence when your last open beta was 10 and you want 22 you missed several in between(this was an example!).

FINALLY got it all to work.
Apparently I had issues with the firmware, had to go back and install codeworx 15.1 firmware, after that it seems to be good to go.
THANK YOU Strongst.

How did you fix it? Can you explain what you mean by codeworx firmware? Could you provide link for file or guide?

This is the firmware from Codeworkx
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ch...firmware/firmware_5.1.7_oneplus5.zip/download.
You might have to go to an older version of twrp as well, just to get this installed.

Which twrp version and developer? And after this can I flash Pie directly or should I install something before it? Did you dirty flash or did you use clean install? Sorry for too many questions but I tried it many times and am frustrated that it didn't work, but you fixing it gives me hope.

What exactly means "failed"? Which error? Screenshot maybe? And from which oxygenOS you tried to update?
Also you need to flash magisk after flashing oxygenOS to make twrp sticky. Also a format of internal storage may be necessary to solve a boot problem.
The Unlocked Bootloader Warning screen is normal cause it's a warning when you unlock your bootloader, if it changed, it's due to changes made by oneplus some time ago, they changed it.

I was able to flash pie directly after updating the firmware.
twrp 3.2.3 should work

By failed I mean that I would wipe the system partition for clean flash, install the ROM zip, which would run but say patching system and vendor partitions unconditionally, then when I want to reboot it says warning no OS. Continuing to reboot gets me automatically back to recovery.
I tried updating from xXx 5.1.2
