I was attempting to update Pac-Rom when TWRP gives me various errors such as "E: unable to open zip", "Corrupt zip file", and " Can't mount cache". I have no idea what these mean. Any ideas?

No it says "E: Zip file is corrupt" for a new rom. and yes I have installed a rom with it but I've only installed one which was PAC and now I was attempting to update when all of these issues arose.

Just a thought, maybe your USB cable or adb driver is having an issue and corrupting the zip on transfer. Try re installing the driver or a different cable.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk
Assuming the MD5 checksum is good prior to the transfer to the phone, it is possible the file system on the phone is corrupt.
There is a recent thread on how to re-format the system....... I forgot where in the DNA forum it is.

I can't find the thread you speak of. Could you see if you can find it or remember anything about it?
Also can you tell me how to check the md5 on PAC. They are direct DLs so it doesn't give an md5.

Do you still have a bootable rom, or adb connectivity? Maybe try a different recovery. The newer 4.4 roms require the newest cwm or a modified twrp... As I understand... Could be the problem
Did anyone get this fixed? I am getting the same errors on my device when flashing roms I have flashed before. 'Invalid zip file format' and 'Zip file is corrupt!' I have no bootable os and I've been bricked for nearly 2 weeks now.

Hi all, I hope you guys can help me. I am currently running Newts XXX ROM and I since I am traveling overseas I wanted to make my phone global. But I installed the wrong patch...I used the StockGSMpatch instead of the GSMpatch and now I can't get pass the HTC white screen. I tried flashing the non stock patch through recovery and it didn't work. I tried flashing the boot.img from Newts ROM and that didn't work. All I can do is get into recovery. If all else fails, I might have to wipe everything. If so, can I backup my data (like contacts) using recovery? Not sure how the nand backup works... Any help would be appreciated!
The gsm patch always requires a full wipe before installing. You gotta do that I'm afraid and then apply the patch for it to get past the bootloop.

I was afraid of that... Ok is there a way to backup my contacts and text messages without going into the OS? Or at least I can hook it up to a PC and copy my files over and figure it out later? I tried using the USB-MS toggle in Recovery, but I don't see my root files in the file explorer.

You don't need the patch on Venom ROM, it automatically flashes it within the aroma installer once you choose the gsm option. So a factory reset and a reflash of the ROM should get you going.

Here's the latest full stock plus root, OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted ROM. This is NOT deodexed, but stock. Any dev can use as base, just credit. Thanks
DOES NOT HAVE RADIO, OR FIRMWARE!!!!
I don't use Rezound anymore, so cannot provide much support. I activated it temporarily so I could make this rom.
Flash from recovery. S-Off phones get boot.img installed also. Or boot.img needs to be pulled and flashed in fastboot or u might not boot. Flash at your own risk!

I have the leaked Global RUU 4.03.605.2 710RD. Can I wipe and flash this over it? or is the old Global too high of a version number on the firmware? I am S-On so I know you can't go back in firmware. I'm guessing this firmware is higher as it's 4.05.605.14, but I want to know for sure before I start playing.

Because there's an *.iso file Verizon Wireless puts on the phone that the PC finds when it connects (and then autolaunches a website offering to have you download HTC sync).
I can't remember where it is, but I run pure stock rooted/S-OFF now and I found it and removed it and now when I connect to PC the PC doesn't think it's got a CD-ROM drive. Check \system or \etc or any of those directories off the root.
I got error while installing the zip file. The error message:
E: Error executing updater binnary in zip '/sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/OTA-Gloval-Stock-4.0

Can anyone please show me how to solve this?
I am S-Off, TWRP v.2.5.0.0
Thanks!
this guy had the same problem i am having now. except he was upgrading from 2.3 to ICS. I was on MJ7 and one of my genius stellar friends told me i could odin back to MI1. well i actually did it, so im obviously just as much of a genius as he is. Nonetheless his description of his problem is identical to mine. that said, the solution offered up for him was obviously applicable to the builds he was working with. With knox being present in the MJ7, i believe i may just be screwed. Im stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." screen even after I reboot. it just reboots on its own to that screen after i turn it off. any advise? Id like to get it to a reasonable sellable state if possible so i can put any money i get out of it towards the nexus 5. Ive also tried all the Kies suggested troubleshooting multiple times as he did.
"Now the phone shows an error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
When i connect the phone via the cabe, to the computer, using Kies, it gives me error saying "Device not responding. To resolve the issue, reboot the device."
This is how I tried to resolve the issue, but with no success..
I have rebooted a number of times without success
I clicked on 'Troubleshoot connection error' and reinstalled the driver multiple times, but without any success"
Same happened to me today. Find the MJ7 Modem Odin file and flash that and you'll be good

I got the Verizon HTC One Max today... Successfully got bootloader unlock, root, and S-OFF (thanks to rumrunner!).
Found CWM Touch/Non-Touch recovery as well as TWRP. Tried flashing both via fastboot and neither would actually load when telling device to boot into recovery. Tried installing TWRP via GooManager, no go. Tried installing CWM via ROM Manager, no go. Recovery not found for either is what I was pretty much running in to.
Decided to try flashing recovery for Verizon HTC One (via ROM Manager), it says it worked, but still would not boot into recovery. Ever since then, though, I cannot get service and device will be on for a minute or two and then reset.
Manually flashed TWRP and CWM and now it seems to boot into recovery (with either), but still no service and still resetting every minute or two.
Cannot find RUU for this device, nor can I find radio to flash or stock recovery.
Help me! I want my phablet back! lol

Where did you "find" cwm and twrp? Different versions from other forums 'sometimes' contain other partitions with them.
Should only use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-max/orig-development
Recoveries are made from a device specific kernel. The One kernel is very similar to the Max but not exact. There is work being done to get usable pieces of a decrypted Verizon Max ruu. Not sure what you can do until available.

Dont go without. You have custom Max recovery installed now and we have the files for someone in here to create you some flashable zips of stock kernel and stock recovery to try. Decrypted ruu pieces are needed when you cant flash with custom recovery.
Just ask in General for someone to create flashable zips.

Fastboot flash boot (bootfilename)
Just replace the (bootfilename) part with the file name you are using
Example
Fastboot flash boot g6f789c8.img
Edit- also I checked and found that drop box must have added the .bin extension. The flashify app leaves them without extension because it assumes they are .IMG files. Therefore, they can simply be renamed to .IMG. Didn't notice that in the hurry to post.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
What you need to do is fastboot the stock recovery, you shouldn't need the stock boot.img unless you tried to flash someone else's kernel for a different device... Anyways yeah you need to fastboot the stock recovery by rebooting in to bootloader and typing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" given the stock recovery is "recovery.img" which it should be.. Once stock recovery is installed boot in to the stock recovery any way you can possibly get to it and do a full factory data reset.. This will wipe the entire phone as well as reset the Verizon radio/baseband and theoretically you should be able to boot right back up and cell and data connection should resume as normal! Good luck and PM me if you need any further help and I'll give you my gmail/hangouts so you can hit me up directly right there..

No, not at all. Stock bootloader is fine for the aforementioned.
I am not certain, but I believe that this excellent tutorial belongs in another forum, not in the development forum.

Nice, one problem though - the link for the odin download is bad. Link works but the zip file seems to be corrupted. I've tried downloading it about 8 times and it keeps coming up bad. Grabbed odin from another source.
Great post

Mainly the question is will this bring me from rooted 4.3 to the point where I can install Freeza's stockish rom through TWRP?

You need to follow the guidance in the stock tar NAB thread, and hit the OP of the NABD discussion thread in the general forum for the latest info on migrating from MJ4 to stock NAB...
You will need to simply throw that tar file from the dev forum onto PC Odin, no pit file needed, and just flash it. You'll be stock NAB.
You may want to backup all storage, and factory reset your phone whilst in MJ4, prior to flashing, for good measure, but probably unnecessary. That probably part is why I suggest it.

while this method certainly got me twrp, I am not rooted.
Two things, When I got into recovery I get "Seandroid" in red letters, but it still goes into TWRP.
Also, i flashed a .zip of "SuperSU", is that my problem?
When I boot up phone, Supersu says there is no su binary, and root checker app says not rooted.

You shouldn't need to flash SuperSU it should automatically be installed.

I tried everything again, all successful, but still no root...I still show SuperSU installed, how can I get rid of it now?
I installed Superuser app, did binary update, and it says "checking installed version = 1.61:supersu"
Supersu is in app list, but no option to uninstall from Play or application list.
There should be an option in the Super su app itself.

I can't get into the app, it just says "there is no su binary installed, this is a problem!" and closes. force stop, clear data/cache doesn't work.

Actually there is.. freeza uploaded the official ota update here in the forums. Just go to recovery and factory reset.. Then go immediately to download mode and flash that tar file via Odin.
