Zips fail to install through twrp - Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers

HI!
So i have switch root following this guide ( https://team-xecuter.com/community/...ve-switch-on-the-same-sd-card-updated.132110/)
My issue is i don't seem to be able to install zips through twrp.
I get zip signature verification error, and then a message saying the zip is not installed.
My gapps installed just fine. but not shieldifier.zip, magisk, or joy con fixes.
i have tried re downloading the zips, clearing cache, as well as rebooting of course.
I am so lost.

Did you mount the relevant partition(s) before flashing ?
Also make sure yoiur flashable zips aren`t corrupt.

Trying to flash a custom rom!?!?!

I wiped the data and cache. I select apply sdcard.... and It tells me failed to open, no such file or directory. signature verification failed. I copied the latest dc rom to my root, not sure where I messed up.

Root G935F: I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0 but I can't flash no-verity.

I am following this guide
I have flashed TWRP which I downloaded from here but now I am unable to flash the no-verity script. I don't have the option to install, I only see Apply update from SD card or ADB. When I tried to apply the no-verity script I got error messages and the install was aborted.
Also one thing I noticed is that I never received a message saying asking me to swipe right to allow system modifications when I flashed TWRP.
How do I flash the no-verity script and the SU script?
Also I want to mention that I did run the Wipe data/factory reset option before attempting to run the script.
Any help is appreciated!!
You are in the stock recovery. Reflash twrp in odin

TWRP on S8+ Oreo Exp9. Error message: Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)

TWRP on S8+ Oreo Exp9. Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)
Never have had this problem on TWRP before. Neither on my S6E, S7E and S8+ , always updated on latest firmware, rooted and with perfect TWRP.
Until now ..... with latest OREO/exp 9 update .... . Cant make any backup / restore for _ Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)_
How I did try it (for almost two days):
1:Flash G955FXXU1CRB7/ G950FXXU1CRAP (samfirm and WRoid) with odin 3.13.1 / 3.12.3 and Prince
2:Flash TWRP 3.2.1-0 latest
3:Format Data ( yes) + also tried Wipe Data, and Internal Data, Dalvik & Cache
4: Reboot recovery and Flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0
5:Flash Magisk 16 , later on also tried 15.3
6:Reboot
7. Setup and phone works fine
but when booting into Twrp afterwards and try to make f.e. a backup get a "Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)" notice .
Already Tried:
differet odins, firmwares , magisks , partitioning SD, re-formating micro SD ext 3 / ext 4
always same error message after rebooring and never can "mount data" afterwards .
HELP .
Tnx in advance ,

here is a person who said that you have to stay 1 week without shutdown phone if y want twrp work with no costumed rom but y can use costumed rom no wipe needed
It's a problem with Magisk. You need to flash a custom kernel or use SuperSU instead of Magisk.
I'm having same issue have tried all of all of that already also have tried going into advanced wipe changing file system, it bring up the /data and will work to flash files but as soon as you reboot it goes back to failing. I'm getting fed up with restoring my phone and adjusting all my settings and apps everytime
Any help would be much appreciated

How can I install supersu without wiping my data and having to restore again, I tried the magisk uninstaller but TWRP can't read /data. Also I tried to Download notorious kernel but I can't seem to get the link to download
I have the same problem. Formatted data multiple times, always the same problem, as OP described it. Is RMM state really the problem here? Or has anybody tried it with SuperSU instead of Magisk? I'm really tired of setting up my phone all over again...

Just tried it with SuperSU, doesn't work either.
after so many tests I discovered that twrp can read and write data only if you flash last supersu beta, magisk and supersu official both doesn't work:

TWRP can't stay, even flashed by installer

Hi guys,
I'm not newbie with flashing but this one I don't understand.
Probably I've done some mistakes with flashing/install/uninstall of roms/magisk/twrp.
Now I'm stuck with TWRP and can't boot into system because of something.
Every time I run TWRP and try to install all my files are encrypted, no matter I install TWRP by .img or .zip. Only working TWRP with decryption is temporary one, by "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-6-fajita.img" command. But when I flash it by regular .img file by this tut (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482), after reboot it's back like 3.3.1-6-fajita version, BUT without decryption skills.
I thing I done some mistakes with uninstalling magisk ect. but I think it doesn't matter.
I tried to uninstall magisk by Magisk-uninstaller-20190204.zip on both slots, I tried install all again in regular way (install temp TWRP through fastboot command, install TWRP through this temp TWRP, install full newest OTA .zip, install TWRP again (I know I shouldn't but I tried both combinations - .zip and .img) and install Magisk and at least system reboot. But when I rebooted between OTA and Magisk (like guide tells) TWRP can't decrypt files. No matter what I've done nothing helped.
What can I do that I have not done yet? Of course, all is about I don't want format my data and re-install all from the scratch...
So... tell me, is possible to make TWRP great again?
Is everything only showing as encrypted when you try to restore a backup? I've been booting the img via fastboot then flashing the zip as it seems you have and it's been working fine as far as it staying installed and not showing all my files as scrambled, I also made the mistake of using Magisk uninstaller at one point, that didn't end well. Seems these A/B phones are temperamental as hell. I read somewhere else that doing backups to USB storage my be more reliable for a backup restoration, not sure if that would effect the encryption issues or not but I may have some time to test that tonight.
I've done that too - not helped. I restored my full nandroid backup by fastboot temp recovery (as I wrote, only this one can decrypt my files) but I've got "You device is corrupt"... and of course TWRP can't decrypt my files.

Phone not accessable after trying to install Custom Rom

Hi,
so i've tried to root my phone and then to install a custom rom. the root went without any problem. After the root, i tried to install lineage OS 16.0 and followed this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3923203
i downloaded the rom and gapps, put them on my root directory of my phone and then i wiped System,Cache ,Data, Internal Storage and Format Data. After wiping, the roms were gone, so i rebooted and transfered them again into the root directory. Then, i went onto installing (just like i did with magisk) but an error occurred saying:
E: String resource 'zip_compatible_err' not found. Using default value.
Zip Treble compatibility error!
Invalid zip file format!
Error installing zip file '....'
Updating partition details...
...done
Ok. So then, i tried to install another Custom Rom so i went for Oxygen OS, it actually did install but then i couldn't boot into it because it was telling me there was an 'Android System Error'. Ok, back in TWRP, i wiped everything and then i tried to install the Original ROM but i got the same error as above.
For now i tried to download the miFlasher tool but it only wants to download some driver and it literally takes forever.
Hope you can help me...

Those recoveries are old.. Use orange fox recovery 10.0-2 it will work and format data then install rom.
title?
@BlackGarnett
Thanks, that help me on a quick one!
@loseyourself
Also thank you for this advice, i'm new to rooting smartphones and install cfw since i was using iPhone for the past few years.
But now i got another new question: if i use orange fox recovery and i run a backup with it (i think there will be an option to do a backup), then i format all data and internal storage, can i still recover from the backup or will it be deleted?
thanks again!
