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.

@[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

error executing updater binary in zip

hi, i'm running cm 12, twrp 2.7.0.0, and when i wanted to flash cm 12.1 i got the following error:
"error executing updater binary in zip"
i tried:
1. wipe
2. updating to twrp 2.8.7 (and then came back to 2.7.0.0)
3. installing few cm nightlies
well, nothing worked. iv'e read a lot on line, and what i did came from there, the only thing i didnt try is to flash a different bootloader because i couldn't find a straight forward answer what to install (and i'm scared to brick the damn thing)
what should I do?
THANK YOU!!!!!!

Do not use 2.7.0.0, use at least version installed by Autorec v2.
Flash LP bootstack. Nemax bootloader changer or Daniel Stuart's or dgravy's for example. Bumped version except for Resurrection Remix.

First of all, thank you so much!! now, ive looked at the nemax bootloader changer thread and it some posts there says that a KK bootloader is needed. so should i use contrary to the nemax thread?

Nearly all those stacks include the same kk bootloader. They are ZIPs, you can look into them with WinRAR for example and compare CRCs of the aboot.bins. Do you have a D802?

followup question - if i want to go back to cm 12 - can i undo the bootstack flash? if not, what should i do to go back?

Firstly, thanks loads for producing these ROMs it is much appreciated. :good:
I am unfortunately having issues getting both this and your CypherOS rom to work.
After full wipes of everything both roms get stuck on the "Wileyfox powered by Android" boot screen.
I get the same result sideloading via adb and from the internal memory.
I have tried TWRP 3.0.2.0 and older versions, I have also tried old and new Cyanogen recoveries.
I have successfully got the Slimrom 7.1 rom working and the LineageOS 14.1 rom which also works but with many random reboots.
Any thoughts on what I might be missing when flashing your ROMs?
Again many thanks for the work.

Any chance of grabbing your recipe for building this from source? Own personal use only. I have the VertexOS repo cloned. A copy of your roomservice and local manifest would help enormously.
This seems much more stable than Lineage at the moment. Please note you *MUST* use TWRP 3.0.2-1, the non-test version, to install Vertex and a fastboot -w also can't hurt.

Cannot inatall gapps (Wrong Architecture)
Hi,
I installed VortexOS 1.9... but when I tried to install ARM64 7.1 pico Open gapps package then following Error occurs:
"ERROR 64: Wrong architecture to set-up Open GApps pre-bundled busybox"
I use TWRT 3.0.3-0 (kipper)
Any ideas what I made wrong?
best regards, Chuck

Vertex appears to be built as ARMv7, which means 32 bit. Try the 32 bit pico.

I installed fine with the nano apps and 64 bit, no issues

Thanks again,
Unfortunately I could not get that recovery to work via TWRP 3.0.2.1 or fastboot.
I can flash it but not boot to recovery.
If booting the image directly I get
Code:
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
I will try building it myself when I get some time.

OnePlus5 - HELP! - TWRP Recovery: Invalid Zip File Format

Hi!
I'm trying to install an update of OxygenOS. I wanted to install this with a .zip folder via my TWRP custom recovery (TWRP 3.2.3-0). However, I'm still having an issue with every ROM that I'm trying to install: "Invalid zip file format!", following by: " Error installing zip file 'OxygenOS.zip' ".
I precise that I have this issue with every .zip ROM that I'm trying to install...
I actually don't have any ROM installed on my OP5, so I can't boot right now.
I'm only fighting with my TWRP recovery and my Bootloader !
The Android version I had before that was Android 7.1.1( old boy...)
I'd be pleased if someone could help me solving this issue...
Have a nice day & Thx !

I tried so much, but actually I really can't flash nothing...
I'm now having : "Updater process ended with ERROR: 4"
I also had ERRO 7 from TWRP, but I tried everything, like changing a part of the code of one script of the ROM, but nothing is working.
