Does it happen with every rom or did u try just with one rom
Try downloading the zip again.
errors do happens when downloading.
or it maybe packed wrong from the start see if theres mirrors.

Just wait a sec
What do you mean with downloading
where do u try to flash the rom
via recovery odin or adb?
In general those error messages appear if there went something wrong with the signing procedure
this often happens with custom roms
Chances are a bad download, as above re download and try again before doing anything else

Every zip from my computer does not work! I wonder if there is some kind of unusual encoding which zip files have?
What do you want to do??

if yes!
you should follow this.
in your flashing Menu

*Flash Zip
*Toggle signature verification

The zip file isn't recognized by the Rom I am using or recovery. I guess I should flash a Rom with fastboot: fastboot flash zip rom.zip.
I don't get it! I have flashed a stock Rom and these errors appear out of nowhere!? I guess I may have to format my sdcard.
Could it be a problem with sdcard partitioning?

How am I meant to return to stock now?
I have voided my warranty with HTCDev and now I can't use any ruu's at all, in case it does not work and my phone gets messed up.
I just had the same error... formating 3 different SD cards didn't work.
I couldn't do restore.
I couldn't use the rom I had installed a few month ago
It didn't make a difference the zip was downloaded by Internet Explorer or Chrome
Solution:The minute I installed a new version (i guess re-installing would work as well) of CWM it stopped giving that error.
no luck
No luck... Nothing works from here... I still get cant open (rom name) zip (bad) ... Any other advices?
I am v6 supercharged and i have riskey kernel 1.5 with stock rom. And btw samsung galaxy pocket

What browser did you use? Try a different browser, maybe it might help, because i've been frustated with this error and then i tried to download it with a different browser and, voila, nailed it

I installed twrp2 on my I717 Galaxy Note and want to return back to CWM. Does anyone know how to do this? I have all my backups in CWM and want to go back.
Please Help
Just put CWM.zip on ur sd card and flash it.
Twrp should be replaced with CWM.

I found cwm sketchy with backups and switched back to braways. I had cwm touch installed and ROM manager(finally supported) but the issues were too many.
I found using "flash touch recovery" from my tools in aospxxx works nicely.

How is this done? I have it on my SD card, but get an error if I tap to install...
An error you say?
That's specific...
What....error?

You are right! I should have been more specific! I know better! The error is: "No applications can perform this action."
Are you sure that's a recovery flashable zip, and not just a zipped up .tar package for Odin?

The file contains a directory called META-INF and recovery.img...
That's for recovery, the Mets-inf folder is the script to write the recovery.img
That's weird, You may try downloading the zip fresh, or if ask else fails grab the Odin flashable tar and use that.

Now, I can run TWRP and run it from there without any ill effects (meaning, a bricked phone!), yes?
Yup.
Given you download the correct file for this device.
If that still fails, which I dunno why I would, it should go without saying The Odin file, will need Odin a pc and a Usb cable

Thanks for all of your help so far! Please forgive the noob question, but where do I find the file you're referring to? I have Odin and the proper cable...

That has the Odin flashable cwm touch file... that version is outdated so after flashing that, you'll have cwm, but flashing a newer Rom zip might end up with a "status 7 error" in recovery.
At that point I'd personally use goo manager go grab the latest version of a cwm zip, that'll be usable in the version of cwm I posted above.

Are you saying I should _not_ use TWRP to put CWM on?
No, it should work, just saying if it still gives you the proverbial finger, Odin is your friend and that version is just the latest with an Odin .tar
So to have your cake (cwm) and eat it too (flash new roms) you'll need to update your recovery from that older version of cwm
So you said you get an error when you tap to install? You should be flashing that zip in recovery like you would a ROM or mod. Is that what you did? After it installs just reboot recovery within twrp and bam!!! You'll have cwm.
Thanks so much for your help...my problem remains, so I may go back to a stock ROM for T-Mobile, since that is my provider, and see if I can solve it... Before I installed CWM, I could sms/mms to my e-mail address...I can't any longer.
when I flash rom in recovery it say "bad zip file install aborted"
how can I resolve it ?
Thankyou
You could try redownloading the file or check the md5 check sum.

Redownload the zip file, check the MD5 sum, make sure it's the same with the one provided by the uploader

Maybe try a different rom altogether if that fails you may have to flash another recovery file. I'd recommend a cwm recovery .tar file through odin.
Soooooo, let me tell you whats going on I rooted my phone (Worked fine)..... Then I went to install Hotspot (Failed) And my phone was stuck on the Sprint screen. So I tried to throw a rom on it and it (failed). Now I'm trying to use Odin to go back to Stock and I'm getting "MD5 hash value is invalid" I need HELP!!!!! lol
Check the MD5 of whatever tar you are trying to flash. Josh's MI5 has a MD5 posted so you can check to make sure the d/l went through properly. Alternatively, you might want to flash the latest version of TWRP in Odin and immediately boot into recovery before the phone reboots

I have TWRP on there and I've tried Josh's Rom it didn't work and I've tried several Tar files
You can get into TWRP w/o a problem? If so, what happens when you try to flash a rom or restore a backup?

When I try to flash a rom it fails
So you can get into download mode and you can get into TWRP but when you try to flash a MI3/MI5 tar in Odin it will not go through...and you are sure that the tar files are not corrupt?
And the rom zips are definitely not corrupt that you are flashing in TWRP?
I would say that if you can access TWRP and still get into Download mode you are not bricked. I would PM Josh or Freeza and ask them for advice.

I would ODIN TWRP again and uncheck auto reboot. Then manually boot into twrp and try flashing a rom again or restoring a backup.
You need to have a rom or a nand on your internal or external storage. Flash twrp via Odin and immediately go into recovery and flash the new rom or nand. That will get you back and running. Remember, after you flash twrp you need to hold the vol up/power/home buttons as soon as you hear the disconnect sound on your pc. Good Luck!
When im flashing my s3 in TWRP i got error all the time with "set_metadata_recursive: somechanges failed, E:error executing updater binary in zip etc." its hypermax v6 rom
Usual causes are out of date recovery, bad download or corrupt data/system.
