Failing to Install Custom OS with TWRP - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hello,
My beloved Sprint Note 3 died on me today. After rebooting, it kept repeating an error message (should of written it down).
I used Odin3 v1.85 to install TWRP v2.8.7.0. That all seemed to work fine.
Using TWRP, I did an advanced wipe and cleared "Dalvik Cache", system, Data, and Internal Storage"
Then I attempted to install Freeza's "Galaxy-Note-frez-3-2.26.zip"
I get the error message:
"E:Error execting updater binary in zip '/external_sd/Galaxy-Note-fre3-2.26 zip'
and
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/Galaxy-Note-fre3-2.26 zip'
Any ideas what I should try?
Thanks!

I used to have this issue with Freeza's ROM as well, not sure why.... but just try a different ROM before you declare a time of death.

Thanks poncholo36. I installed a stock OS using Odin and that worked fine. What ROM are you using?

You could try mine, just click the 4.4.4 N K4 in my signature. Or try chaz187 Classic 4.4.4 NH7. . . However this would depend on what stock OS you installed. If It was Lollipop 5.1.1 you will have to flash back to stock 4.4.4 NK4 first, or you my end up with a bootloop. There is not a lot of custom roms based on Lollipop 5.1 as yet.

[Q] CWM problems

I'm new to this forum and find the i717 a wee bit more complicated than my old phone. (a Galaxy S 4g.)
I've managed to get CWM touch 5.5.0.4 on the phone and have successfully flashed the deodexed stock jelly bean rom. However when I try to flash any of the "quincy.att" based rom, CWM gives me an error, which I imagine means that I need a more recent CWM. Before I flashed stock jelly bean, I was able to get the 6.0.3.6 quincy.att CWM on the phone using the terminal but when I tried using it, it did not see the external sdcard and I could not get there to flash any rom. I tried using ODIN to flash CWM 5.8.4.3 but ODIN just sat there and nothing got loaded onto the phone at all.
So it is kind of a chicken and egg situation here. What is the minimum version of CWM I need to flash any of the quincy.att roms and how do I get it on there and working? Or am I supposed to use TWRP? I haven't tried that. I remember it from the 4g and it was a pain to use on that phone. I have tried to flash the 10.1 quincy.att plain Cyanogen and the chameleon rom and I just get error messages from CWM,
Just use twrp.....your probably getting error 7 ...install twrp

TWRP is piece of cake here. you will never look back
I'm having issues getting cwm 6.0.4.4 to work.... 6.0.4.3 touch or regular work just fine, but the few times I've tried flashing 6.0.4.4 in order to flash the latest Kit Kat I get stuck in a bootloop. The only way to fix it is to remove my battery, flash twrp with Odin, wipe everything, flash cwm (earlier than 6.0.4.4) and reflash a ROM. I've tried: updating through ROM manager, flashing 6.0.4.4 in recovery, converting a zip to a tar (thinking maybe the file was corrupted). I'm beginning to think my phone just doesn't like Kit Kat.... Now I'm back on Padawan because it's like literally the most stable ROM for my phone. Any ideas?

If 6.0.4.3 touch works "fine", why don't you just use that?

cwm 6.0.4.4 is recommended for the Unofficial AOKP 4.4.2 flash and I couldn't get it to install with 6.0.4.3. It installs with 6.0.4.4 but ends up in a bootloop.

Try CM11 for KitKat. It's very stable.

I actually did try CM11 Kit Kat and liked it but about ten minutes after everything boots up it will force close and go into a boot loop. I've tried the various gapps packages, installing without gapps then flashing them, wiping dalvic before and after and in between, I dunno.
4.3 ROMs run like a diesel, it just seems I can't get 4.4s to be stable. I just now flashed the Beanstalk 4.4.2 along with the updated gapps and can't get past the beanstalk animation. Sat there for an hour.
I appreciate the input though.

I had the same issues with 4.4 kitkat roms. Did you format system in CWM when wiping? This solved my bootloop issues. Also, make sure you have a clean download of the ROM. Flash the ROM twice back to back when flashing a new kitkat rom

Samsung Note GT N7000

Recently i was trying to install custom rom "du_n7000_v.7.0_20140411.zip" on to my note GT N7000, initially i got an error saying status 7.
after that i searched for the same error and got a solution, asking to delete couple of lines from the script file after unzipping the zip file.
I deleted the extra lines which were causing the status 7 error, after that i got Verification Error, and none of the 4.4 roms can be installed or ported on to my GT N7000 device.
IF there is any other way than please do let me know.
Thanking in Advance.

Which recovery and version are you using? You need one that has SELinux support for KK roms. Also, it's recommended to also factory reset your phone after installing the rom and gapps for KK roms, according to the Omni thread for N7000.

I am using CWM v6.0.3.3. i also used the advance Touch CWM recovery but still i am not able to install 4.4 roms, 4.3 is not a problem at all, it gets installed without any problems, but when i try to install 4.4 roms it gives error of " Status 7"
Thanking you for your prompt reply. If there is any solution for it than do let me know.
It's definitely your recovery. That version came out in middle of last year and Kit Kat & SELinux being necessary wasn't a thing. You need one of the newest recoveries from CWM, Philz Touch (modded CWM - if you like CWM, you'll probably like Philz better), or TWRP.

I used Philz touch (Advanced Touch CWM) but even after using Philz Touch, i get Status 7 Error and after removing the mentioned files from script i get authentication error. And this error comes for all 4.4 Roms, if i install 4.3 through Philz Touch it gets installed like a charm, so now i really can not understand what exactly is the problem for installing 4.4 roms.

I'm not sure how to be more clear. The version of the recovery you are using is out of date. It's very simple. Update your recovery to something that has support for flashing 4.4 roms. It does not matter that 4.3 roms install fine with that recovery as 4.3 does not equal 4.4 and the install methods have changed somewhat. The only other time you are gonna get the Status 7 errors is when you are trying to install the rom that's built for another phone or version of the phone you are using and the updater-script has an assert to check the build.prop to make sure you install it to the right device. But update your recovery first and go from there.

The only thing i never did was step 1. Ie Wipe Cache Partition.
but without doing step 1, i was able to install all other versions of rom but could not instal 4.4 rom. when i did Wipe Cache Partition, i could install 4.4 Rom without Status 7 Error and also now not getting authentication error.

Ah ok. Well, the factory reset should also wipe the cache too, but it is not uncommon for Samsung's of this vintage to need extra wiping. Dunno why, but have seen it before.

[Q] Problem flashing certain things using TWRP

I was just on the MJ9 firmware had no problem flashing other roms using TWRP. I read that TWRP was having issues flashing ND7 and seen that using Philz was the best thing to use, so I downloaded Philz and saved it, uploaded it to my external SD card along with the other required files for ND7. Rebooted to the recovery formatted the internal storage,dalvik and cache. First thing I did was try to install Philz. I instantly got failed and this message "assert failed: getprop (ro.product.device") I thought it had something to do with the Kitkat update. But, then I read on the forum that one user was having trouble installing Philz also and the user installed the ND7 first then Philz and it installed. So, I decided to try that. The update installed just fine but Philz still gave me the same error. I decided to try to install the radio that gave me the same error. I already had Liquid smooth 4.4 downloaded on my SD card and that wouldn't flash either but the gapps installed. I have installed the newest version of TWRP still no luck. I can't even use Airdroid to transfer to either SD card or internal storage (Later found out its an app problem). What else can I do to get the ball rolling?

Seems like you still have the wrong TWRP for your device.
Here is a Philz Zip with the getprop asserts removed, so it should flash just fine in your current TWRP.

Installing any new cynogenmod/mokee ROM always fails

Hi, I am trying to install cynogenmod or mokee rom and the device always gets stuck at cyno/mokee logo. it never goes beyond that. tried to wait for half an hour(waited for one hour twice).
Here is what I am doing:
I used TWRP but it wasnt working so i installed CWM, in both the recoveries I was wiping everything except sd card storage as my zip files were in the card. after that i flashed zip files(ROM & GAPPS). after that i rebooted to system. Am I doing it wrong? I am currently on 4.4.4 stock rom. Need help.
Thank you.
No one to help?

The problem wasn't with the recovery and I wasn't doing anything wrong. It was really too bad to know that the rom version I was installing had a bootloop bug in it. So I had tried two previous versions but they too had the same bug. And unfortunately I tried CONTINUOUSLY for two long days to install those same bugged ROMS as if God has put me in frustration mode. Tech fooled me right, lol.
Grab the November 8 version of Cyanogemod. There are issues with the newer updates.
