Hello folks.
Im quite desperate trying to flash my i9300 phone with a pac rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-pac-nighlies-t2668572
The thing is when i start the flash process using TWRP 2.6.3.0
I get an error:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/soft/rom/pac_i9300-nightly-20140306.zip'
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/soft/rom/pac_i9300-nightly-20140306.zip'
Updating partition details

Any help ??
Thanks!!
Things to try - Check md5 of your download, try using another recovery, try a full wipe, finally flash stock with odin.

2.6.3.1 twrp is the recovery that should be used for fit fishing any 4.4 rom

I am also getting "E: Error executing updater binary in zip
I tried installing Pac Rom and I also received this error. I did a factory reset, twice, wiped delvik and data, then when I tried to install, it failed with the error message. I tried 4 times, still no install.

Did you update your TWRP or CWMR ?

I got the notification again to update (update the removes universal search). I unrooted and reinstalled stock recovery. Bebooted and started the update. It aborted in recovery. I was given the "Status 7. Installation Aborted". So I tried to reinstall using the cache. Aborted again. So I jsut factory reset and cleared the cache and I will try again.
This is so frustrating. Is anyone else getting this error?
Still not working
Can someone please help??? I've deleted everything and I still cant install this update.
Can you install the update using Kies?

I was having problems with TWRP recently (and periodically in the past). It would give errors and not flash/wipe/etc. I switched to the latest CWM and it's been working great so far. Just a thought it you cannot find a solution. I couldn't.
Good luck.
I got this from trying to use TB, and it corrupted a file. I switched recoveries a couple of time wiping internal, and data, switched back to twrp, and been solid ever since. It is the way TB messes up. I don't blame twrp for my mistake. Even posted in nebula about it.

Hey all,
I can't install MegaFire V11x (JellyBean 4.3 rom)
It keeps saying: Some symlinks failed (error status 7).
I always do the same procedure:
Nandroid Back-up, Reset, format /system, wipe (dalvik) cache...
Does anyone know how what to do? I already tried to flash the latest SU (2.01)....
Im using Philz CWM (Latest)
Came from beanstalk 4.4.4...
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
owning Galaxy S II (GT-I9100) I tried to flash it to Lolipop 5.1
I downloaded cm-11-20150406-nightly-i1900.zip and ga_gapps-modular-mini-5.1-20150404-signed.zip
whiped data and cache.
Could not wipe dalvic cache, because there was no advanced option available.
Tried to install the nightly.zip
Error Message: E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7)
then I tried to install the gapps.zip
Error Message: E:failed to verify whole-file-signature
Now what to do?
Please help!

First cm11 is not lollipop, its kitkat. But if you want that rom its fine.
It sounds like you have an older recovery. Flash the newest recovery of cwm or philz, or whatever you prefer. Then reboot back into recovery. Also depending on what rom you are coming from you probably need to do a full wipe before you flash those files. Format system, data, wipe cache/dalvik. And I would recommend wipe cache amd dalvik after flashing as well, then reboot into system.
Problems with modding my Galaxy SII
Hi,
ah the first mistake.: I really wanted lollypop ( this was the reason why I started all this) and I looked for it but still got the wrong file
I just went to: download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100&type= and took the latest file.
I still don't get the meaning of getting a new recovery: where do I go for this and how do I do it?
I just switched off my phone and started in recovery mode then wiped the data and the cache.
Could not wipe dalvic cache, because there was no advanced option available???
So how should I do it?

First of all, relax.
Second, you can't just go around and blatantly download the latest file you see hoping for it to be a lollipop version rom. You have to read around and actually make sure what it is your downloading. You only get one chance cause if you screw up badly - hardbrick.
BTW, you won't find any lollipop ROMs on that site as there is no longer any official CM roms for S2. You can get unofficial builds from Galaxy S2 Android Development section and also kernels in the same area.
Before you flash a lollipop rom, you must first have a compatible kernel for it. Go around, read in Lollipop rom threads and see if you can find a compatible kernel for lollipop. Then go about and flash your ROM.
Good luck.
Problemss with modding my Galaxy SII
Ok, did my homework.
Installed CWM-based Revovery v6.0.4.5 via odin
Wiped all data and cache partition
Wiped dalvic cache
Installed cm-12.1-20150408-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip
installed pa_gapps-modular-mini-5.1-20150404-signed.zip
Everything worked fine
Then tried to reeboot system.
After a while the Samsung Logo with an exclemation mark appeaered and a bit later the last screen (with reboot system now) reappeared and that was it.
Whiped the two caches again - no change.
What did go wrong or what is missing?
When I go to -report error it shows:
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
