I have a problem when i try to flash a homebrewed custom rom made by dsixda's Rom Kitchen. When i try to flash the rom through TWRP (2.6.3.4) it gives me an error. 'E:Error executing updater binary in zip ROMNAME.zip'

Hello
I'm trying to flash PacROM 4.4 and I'm encountering a problem with "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed".
As I searched its because of old recovery tools, but I'm already uusing CWM 4.4.1 and I cannot find out what to do.
The way I tried to flash ROM :
1. Flash stock .254 ROM
2. Install TowelRoot and CWM
3. Flash with CWM 4.4.1 and this is where error come up (kernel 207 works)
Thank you for help
edit: I managed to install VANIR ROM, and later with the same method I managed to install PAC ROM too. I used CWR not Philz.
Your problem was most likely related to your recovery, which was probably outdated.
CM based ROMs sometimes have issues with older versions of CWM.
The reason why it worked after installing Vanir is probably because of Vanir's kernel which includes a more recent version of CWM.
Anyway, glad you got it working.

Ok, So I've successfully downgraded my Note 3 from official Lollipop 5.0 to 4.4.2 using odin 3.10.6 and rooted with Kingo Root app. Then I installed SuperSU then busybox(opened and installed), then downloaded the proper Safestrap for my phone Safestrap 3.75 NC2 n900a. Once opened I make a Rom in rom slot 1 then advance wipe everything except ext SD. then Restart. Once I get to Installing a ROM on 1 I dont get far before it fails. It was AryaMod v8.3 from somewhere here on these forums...I've also tried SM-N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Rooted_Rom.zip for my phone and It says:
preload mounted!
persist mounted!
Formatting System/Preload/Cache
Done!
Installing System...(Stays here for a good 2-3 minutes)
System installation complete!
Extracting Data
Done!
Sorting Symlinks...

(Heres where it fails)
set_metadata_recursive: Some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip ' /external_sd/SM-N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Rooted_Rom.zip'
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/SM-N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Rooted_Rom.zip'
Updating partition details...
I'm at my wits end and would really appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance for any advice given.
The n900a has a locked bootloader so custom ROMs can only be installed using safestrap and only custom ROMs based off a stock TW ROM.

TW Rom stands for Touchqiz right? Im kind of new to the custom rom scene. I loved lollipop but i just wanted it rooted so i downgraded to 4.4.2 so icould install a custom lollipop rom. Is there any direction you could point me?
TW stands for touchwiz. Rooting is not usually required to install a custom ROM.
