You don't have to enable USB debugging for adb to work in recovery. As a first measure, I'd check the md5 or sha checksum of your ROM file and re-download when in doubt. This specific error looks like something went wrong while updating your current system. Try formating /system first (mounts and storage -> format system) before sideloading your ROM.

Thank you
Thank you for all your help.

also i installed the rooted 2.1 to my phone. worked fine. i followed the steps to put the recovery image on. the recovery image file copied. i attempted to copy the flash_image file and i get this error
"failed to copy 'flash_image' to '/system/bin/flash_image'; Read-only file system
i checked the device make sure it is still connected and usb debugging was still enabled.
i than tried toggling usb debugging and remounting. i than tried to copy it again nothing.
not sure what to do. i must have missed something....anyone help?

type into a command prompt shell
adb remount
then start the recovery mode commands from the beginning.
or use the eris master application to root your phone. developed by myself and jamezelle.
would be nice if this app was available. i cannot find it anywhere.

Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

Hi all. I keep getting this error after rooting, installing SuperSu and TWRP. When I try to flash a ROM (any ROM), I get stuck. I've tried the latest Resurrection and CM ROMS. Will someone please help me past this last hurdle? Thank you!
I can't upload or link the screenshot but here's the info:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset.
Which I have done several times.
Backup ==> select all ==> Swipe to Backup
Wipe ==> Advenced Wipe ==> /System + /Data + /Cache Confirm "Swipe to Wipe" . Try installing again ROM

That did the trick! I put Resurrection OS on there and all is well except for finding a stable GAPPS build.
Not working for me, my device is KII-L21 on stock rom and I'm trying to install official CM13, my device is rooted and have twrp
If your device is wiped It isnt rooted.. Wipe it dont forget Cache partitions try again.

Bro, me sirvió. Muchas gracias
It really works, thanks dude
I think it all boils down to doing a format /system.
Next time I will try that!
Edit: I was wrong, the format /data is needed.
If I don't to the reset I am one of those that always gets error 7.
unmount ->system, data, cache :good:
As I already posted at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70851854&postcount=534,
I am able to avoid the Error 7 (inconsistend data) by switching to gapps mini before installing the update.
Since the experiental build, I do the following within one TWRP session: install latest gapps mini, install the upgrade to latest lineage-nightly and reinstall latest gapps stock.
So far it works for me.
Do a clean install wiping system, data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing a new ROM is adviced, it will avoid most of problems. For the GApps, I recommend OpenGapps Pico version to install the minimal needed, then you can install the other Google apps you need from the Play Store.
Guys I need some help here. I'm running into the same TWRP error 7 situation. The phone is unlocked, and I've installed kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery. The model of the device is Honor X5 (KIW-CL00)
I've tried flashing both ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20161220-kiwi & lineage-14.1-20170419-nightly-kiwi-signed ROM, whether it's flashing from the phone's storage or from the SD card, both ROM are giving me the same error code.
I tried formatting the system, advance wipe function (Dalvik & Cache & Data & System), now I don't even have the default factory ROM on my phone, but I'm still getting the error 7 code.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

U need to edit and repack everything . And do remember that if u mess a single letter it will give an error
Thanks
Sure I wipe advanced by every attempt.
Twrp 3.1.1 the same problem.
But you have right, the Solution for me is not to unzip and zip the file for delete the "assert". Only the way to edit without unpack the File in the Ubuntu "ARCHIVMANAGER" works.
Now it is installed but now I am in a bootloop But this is an other Problem. One step after another.

Thanks its work fine now. It was my fault, I updated from Lollipop not from Nougat. So I used Huawei Firmbootextraktor extract system.img cust.img recovery.img and boot.img and on my SD I copy ../dload/update.app version B140 Android 5.1.1. Then the Handy started I updated EMUI 4.0 and Android 6.1. Now works my Handy with all zip files where I delete the asserts.
Maybe was the problem, in the assert is wrote "kiwi" and my Handy is a "KIW-L21"

I can't flash ROM : "no MD5 file found"

Hello,
This morning I try to install a Custom ROM so I follow a tutorial on XDA Developer. First, I installed TWRP Recovery with Linux (I have a dual boot computer I use for windows for all). After I formated my device with the tab : Wipe, I delete /dalvik /system /cache and all others. Then, try to install lot of Custom ROM (like POISON v2.2, OmniROM, etc..). And every time, it write : "checking MD5 file ... no MD5 file found" and it reboot TWRP.
Can someone help me ? Sorry for my English speaking, I'm french and I'm not very good in English and on the computer..
Thank you beforehand
Untick the MD5 thing in settings. You don't need it.

I don't find where is he tick..
How can I untick him ?
In setting I have only these option:
- Zip signature verification
- Reboot after installation is complete
- Use rm -rf instead of formatting
- Disable free space check before backup
- Skip MD5 generation during backup
- Enable MD5 Verfication of Backup files
- Use 24-hour clock
- Reversed navbar layout
- Prompt to install TWRP app if not installed
- Simulate actions for theme testing
And there are all untick except "Prompt to install TWRP app if not installed" and "Skip MD5 generation during backup"..
Thank you

Bricked Phone ?

Go to twrp, mount system, go-to inbuilt file manager and chmod 755 the system folder and reboot, or Dirty flash the firmware will do the job.
Next time, do nand-backup before perform sny changes to system. or would be better don't messed up with root partition.

I tried to help you here, but clearly you didn't read my previous comment.
Boot into TWRP (you said you have it installed), and you have to MOUNT SYSTEM first, or it'll just show you an empty folder without file.

Just boot into twrp, you'll see mount menu as soon as you enter the twrp recovery. Enter mount and check system.
