error executing updater binary in zip

hi,
i've just made a rooted, debloated stock rom with android kitchen.
when i try to flash it i get this error "E: error executing updater binary in zip"
ive tried TWRP recovery, versions 2.8.5.0 and 2.8.1 & Philz recovery.
any idea??
i can flash any other rom fine

Take the entire meta-inf folder from the original rom you started with, if you have it. I ran into the same problem the other day. It worked for me.

[Q] help needed

hi have a s4 i9505 had cm11 installed tried to install cm12 now got a screen that says cyanogen simply recovery . when tried to install getting install/storage/sdcard1
finding update package
opening update package
verifiying update package
e failed to verify whole file signature
e signature verification failed
installation aborted
any help greatly appreciated
thanks tony

Upgrading from CM11 to CM12 requires a full wipe. Before installing your Rom, try to wipe: -dalvik cache, -cache, -system. In most recoverys there is an option sounding something like "full wipe for rom flash", do this as well (though you have to install a rom after doing this).
Now you're ready to flash the Rom, however if your Recovery still says "installation aborted", something is wrong with your Zip file. Try redownloading it

thanks tried wiping but still coming up with same message

Download the zip file again because your zip file is corrupt. The recovery is trying to tell you this by saying that signature verification failed. Do NOT use your S4 to do the download. Download it using a PC.

Or you can disable the zip verification. But this may be dangerous as you can install incomplete software and brick your device.

thanks
now solved thanks for help

Need help....Not able to install cm-13.0-20160623-NIGHTLY-tomato.....

Hello guys , i am unable to install cm-13.0-20160623-NIGHTLY-tomato in my YU Yureka. Its stuck on "patching system image unconditionally"
I am using latset twrp 3.0.0.0 . I am on official Cos 12.1.
Before flashing i formatted system, dalvik-ART,cache,dalvik cache.
While installing there is no exception or error raised by recover. I kept my Yureka for 30-40 min with installation going on after so much time there is no progress, not a single percent. (and my memory card is also not shown in twrp recovery)
Then i tried to install recovery again and done the rom flashing procedure, it stucks on "Patching system image unconditionally".
Is there anything wrong with recovery or rom or i skipped any step?
plz help me guys.

Use CM recovery to check if it is getting flashed. TWRP is also upgraded to 3.0.2-0. You can use that one too.
Also match SHA-1 of downloaded ROM zip file.

Nexus 7 2012 can't install GApps

Hi, i have on my N7-2012 TWRP 3.0.2.
I did Advanced Wipe for all partitions, and Format Data. I changed /data and /cache to f2fs and flashed a Nougat ROM from this form (DirtyUnicorn) I had no troubles.
I wiped system again (to avoid space problems during the flash of Gapps) and tried to flash GApps 'open_gapps_arm7.0-micro-20161018.zip', but i got this error:
*** Incompatible Android ROM detected ***
This GApp pkg is for Android 7.0.x ONLY
Please download the correct version for
your ROM: 5.1.1 (SDK 22)
*** GApps intallation failed ***
- Copying log to /usb-otg/Nexus 7 Asus
- NO changes were made to your device
Install will now exit...
Error code: 20
- Unmounting
I tried with other nougat ROM such as Carbon but i got the same error. The weirdness is that i tried also with a MM rom, and tried to flash GApps for MM... again, same error! He ask for a 5.1.1 GApps! So strange.
So, only for my curiosity, i reflashed DU ROm, downloaded and flashed GApps for 5.1.1. First time, i got the error:
*** Incompatible Android ROM detected ***
This GApp pkg is for Android 5.1.1 ONLY
Please download the correct version for
your ROM: 7.0.0 (SDK 22)
*** GApps intallation failed ***
i tried again and flash worked, i rebooted the device and..... bootloop... obviously.
Can you help me?
UPDATE: i forget to say that i tried also with: nano and pico gapps, and Banks Gapps. Same problem. if i reboot the device without gapps the rom work but if i download apk play store and install it doesn't work when i open it.

pls, noone can help me? :crying:

Are you wiping "system" after installing the ROM? If so, you are effectively removing the ROM you just installed which leaves the GAPPS script nothing to detect to install. The proper install would be: Flash ROM and the Flash Gapps (usually pico or nano to save space) and then reboot, no wiping in between.

I had this issue no matter what rom I tried after flashing an android 7.0 rom. I just did a factory reset by flashing back to a factory image now everything seems fine and google apps are working again.
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 but used kit kat 4.4.4 image and didn't lock the boot loader. Then flash the recovery of your choice again and your good to go.

Yes i wiped /system cause after the flash of the ROM when i try to install GApps i get error "not enough space". I followed the tips of a xda GUIDE wiping /system
@dinotyped: Are you telling me that there's no way to have Nougat on my N7? :crying::crying:

@qwerweteryu You should be able to use Nougat roms ok. I've not tried again. I'll likely stick to marshmallow for the time being just because of personal preference.

Stick with "Pico" (or possibly) "Nano" Gapps to make sure you have enough space after flashing the ROM. You can always go back after booting / setting up and install the other Google Apps that you want.
