hi,
I recently purchased the one plus x onyx edition and installed twrp recovery (2.8.7.0) i could flash roms for a bit but then I got a h2os rom which came with its own recovery, i got twrp back but now i cant flash any roms. it just comes up with the error "error executing updater binary in zip"
any ideas on how i could resolve this would be appreciated
thanks
PS; I have a root
Try 'twrp-2.8.7.0-onyx_f2fs_v12.img' as recovery.

------------- SOLVED! --------------
Hello all,
First of all I want to say I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs etc.
Currently I'm at stock 4.3 Jellybean and I want to flash my SGS3 to the new CM 11 ROM.
I rooted my phone following this tutorial: vvvvvv.telefoonrooten.nl/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3-root/ (sorry if its in Dutch, but it uses the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 and Odin).
After I rooted I copied both the CM11 ROM and GAPPS to my external SD, I went to recovery and tried to install the new custom ROM but I got an error (status 7) and it was aborted.
Also if I try to reboot it won't boot normally as it should be but it goes back to recovery mode automatically...
I fixed to get back to Jellybean by flashing the stock rom (unrooting?) it via Odin.
Anyone else got the exact same problem as I do and knows a solution to be able to flash CM 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steelbear

please read the thirst post in a rom/kernel/whatever thread. and maybe if you havent done it already you should also read the stickies in general section.
FAQ (Read before post !!)
- If you obtain Error 7 when you tried to install ROM in CWM or TWRP
Install the latest version of CMW or TWRP

BTW latest philz touch recovery works too
Since you went back to stock and you already know how to root, I suggest you go to Play Store and download ROM Manager to help you install latest CWM recovery on your device.
Or you can simply go to CWM website, pick the version of the recovery for your phone and flash it via Odin.
Hope it helps.

Indeed it worked! I found it out myself yesterday. Went to the CWM site and downloaded the latest version (6.0.4.4.) and flashed it through Odin. But thanks for your input anyways (to all who replied) !
An alternative solution that I often use is to open the Updater Script in META-INF folder in the ROM's zip and delete first lines, where it gets device model as property.
Obviously it's an UNSAFE operation (because that lines avoid to install ROMs of other phone on mine) but when I'm sure that ROM I've downloaded is for my phone I do it and it works

please read EVERYTHING on the first post of a rom thread (btw also all other threads):
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get error code 7 when trying to flash ?
A: Because you are using old recovery. Update to the latest TWRP.

latest CWM or philz are working as well.
try to flash one of them (the latest) and reflash the rom.
sorry if this sounds a bit angry, but it's already the second time today that I answer such a question. In future please search first before asking a question
i already got the lastest cwm 6.0.3.2
can you leave me a official firmware 4.3 international please?
i can't find a twrp to flash .need help
any help ? still don't know what to do
For S3 International latest CWM is 6.0.4.3. You can easily install it through Play Store using Rom Manager(but it requires root)
Or you can go to CWM webpage , download the recovery for your model and flash it via Odin.
managed by me ,i installed cm for 4.3 and it runs perfectly ,now i have to download twrm and trying to install omni rom but later
Here is a link on what error im getting (after installing some ROMs) only on this Baseband I605VRUEMJ9 I get this error I use to be able to install any kind of ROM but after I605VRUEMJ9 update I can't install some ROMs. I can some ROMs but not all the error I get it says i'm losing Root after successfully installing a ROM (I get no errors installing a ROM) but after I swipe dalvik & cache it says I have lost root and TWRP says if it will fix my root but it doesn't I've stayed on Samsung NOTE II sign for more than 10 minutes and nothing i've also installed the latest SUPERSU zip file after installing a ROM and still nothing can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong or what I need to do please,,, thanks in advance!!!!

Hi everyone,
I recently flashed Xdabbeb's VS982.5 ROM for my VS980, and now, while trying to flash any ROM, I get this error, E: Error updating execute binary, and the flashing process fails. I was able to flash from TWRP 2.8.1.2 to 2.8.5.1 to see if that would resolve my problem, but it did not.
It probably should be noted that before flashing VS982.5 I was able to flash any ROM and go about my business in that aspect (had TWRP 2.7.0.0 at the time).
Anyways, I would really love to flash crDroid, so any help would be greatly appreciated, I have no idea what to do.
After some Googling, I have found that the error generally sourced from TWRP version.
Did you try flashing with an older version of TWRP?
Hello,
so i have MultiROM now on my HTC One m7 and am trying to get a CynogenMod ROM on my system, but any ROM i'm downloading does not work. The progress bar always stops while using the twrp recovery to install it. Sry, if this may be answered somewhere else. Didn't found any answers to this problem. What ROM should i be using here? Thank you very much.
Update: E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/tmp/mr_update.zip' when installing the ROM
Cheers
