Okay so the title is pretty much self explanatory. To start in detail, I got excited about the CM Installer so I downloaded, prepped my stock locked phone and proceeded to install, in which the ROM installed(4.3.1) but no Google Apps package. When I saw that CM is actually on 4.4 I thought to just go ahead and flash it the usual way. ROM installed fine, but still no GAPPS. "can't open zip" is what last appeared.
Same with others, I tried flashing a GE ROM, the Guru ROM Reset and nothing. Even switched recoveries from CWM to TWRP. At this point I am stumped as now I have just a basic phone and can't even use Google services
Edit: I forgot I was supposed to install check out similar topics when I was typing the title, I'll look for answers elsewhere while waiting for one here
I am attempting to install the latest Omni rom nightly (Omni -4.4.4-20141110 - find7-NIGHTLY.zip) on my Oppo find7. Each time I try to flash the zip file the following error occurs.
"This package is for "find7a, FIND7" devices
this is a "find7".
I am assuming the error is due to the upper case letters in the binary and my device is showing find7 in lower case. How can I fix this problem?

Please do research before posting. Also, in general, do not post device-specific issues in the general forums. The solution to this issue (short answer: stop using broken recoveries) has been covered over and over again in the find7 forums.
Thanks for the quick answer, I think!
I will go over to the CM forums and ask the question since the rom I was using that flashed nightlies every night without an issue is the latest CM.

CM has chosen to allow flashing on broken recoveries that have been obsolete for months. We don't, since a recovery reporting as "find7a" is either vastly outdated or released by someone who doesn't know what they're doing (since such a recovery will also be unable to flash official Oppo releases), which means that we have no idea what it's going to do.
Oppo's recovery reports as FIND7 on all units (7a and 7s), as a result proper recoveries (such as official TWRP) report as FIND7.
The appropriate place to go for things like this is the device-specific forums on XDA, since as I have previously stated, this issue has been documented over and over again there.
I have been tearing my hair out for about a week with this problem. I'm sure the answer is here somewhere, but I'm a novice and I don't understand phone developer vocabulary. Hopefully someone can link me to a solution to my problem.
I have a Verizon LG G2 (VS980 4G) and I'm trying to install CyanogenMod on it. Here's the info from the software page in settings:
Android version 4.4.2
Baseband version VS98024A-M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046
Kernel version 3.4.0-perf [email protected]
Build number KOT49I.VS98024A
Software version VS98024A
I have followed these steps so far:
1. Rooted with towelroot
2. Installed SuperSU and BusyBox
3. Used AutoRec to install TWRP 2.7.0.0
4. Downloaded CM-10.2.0-vs980.zip to /sdcard/Download
When I boot into TWRP recovery and try to flash the zip from there, I get the following error message:
"assert failed: run_program("/system/bin/loki.sh") == 0
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip' "
And then when I try to reboot the system I get an error that shows the LG logo with the words "security error" underneath it, and the phone won't boot up. After that my only option is to do a factory hard reset, go back into TWRP and restore my backup.
When I bought the phone it was on Software version VS98027A, but I thought that might be the problem so I used the LG flash tool to download and flash the kdz file for VS98024A. This has not given me a new result, sadly.
I have read the install instructions on the CM page, but they describe an app called FreeGee, which I guess is supposed to install ClockworkMod. FreeGee says my phone isn't supported. CM's directions say if FreeGee doesn't work, I should use AutoRec, but they don't follow up with any TWRP-specific instructions. I have googled and youtubed for several days, but everything I find shows directions on how to root and install recovery, yet nothing on how to deal with this particular error message. Whenever I do find a thread that seems like it might be helpful, I can't understand the technical jargon involved.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

Here's my advice, go back to stock again,the LG flash tool. When that completes, use Freedom Tools (its in Development) and use ioroot25 (link is in the aforementioned thread) to root device. Then use Freedom Tool to install twrp. I've used it many times and never had a problem. Re-download cm rom (perhaps bad download) and flash in twrp. I would suggest using a more current twrp (start with 2.7, DL newest twrp, flash, reboot recovery) then flash cm. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for your help. I followed the ioroot and freedom tool steps no problem, but I don't know how to update twrp. The g2 isn't listed as a supported device on their website or in the twrp manager app. I searched the forum and found a thread about updating it, but every time I try to download the files, I get a message that says the download failed.
I downloaded a fresh copy of cyanogenmod and tried to flash with twrp2.7, but I got the same error message from my original post.

Huh, ok, well, first off here's the thread for twrp, make sure and flash the correct one for our device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2898705
Second, have you tried a different rom? I remember reading that jackpotcalvin's is the cm to use. Try his or a completely different one, just make sure and follow the op (some require different radios, just follow the op). But I would definitely upgrade twrp before trying anything else.

Okay, so thanks to the link you gave me, I have succeeded in updating TWRP to version 2.8.5.1. I tried once again to flash cm 10.2, with more error messages. Specifically, the error says:
assert failed: run_program("/system/bin/loki.sh") == 0
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip' (that line was in red text)
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip'
I chose that rom because it is the only one listed as stable on the CM page for the G2. This time it was a fresh download. After that failed, I looked up JackpotClavin and found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958
But it might as well be written in Greek because I don't understand much of it at all. I don't think I'd be comfortable doing all the command line stuff without a video tutorial or a more layman-friendly set of directions. So I didn't try that one.
Then I just started browsing the Development forum for a rom with easy install directions and found this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/rom-beanstalk-build-5-0015-t3001584
I followed the instructions and flashed it successfully, booted up successfully, and then I was bombarded with a never-ending series of popups that said Unfortunately, Google Play Services had stopped. So that Rom was unusable, but at least now I know that it is possible to flash a rom of some kind. I don't have my heart dead-set on CM, I just know that it's very popular and so I had hopes that it would be more stable than most. All I need is a stable rom that has working radios and the ability to use the native USB tether function without having to pay Big Red an extra fee for the privilege.
I have restored to stock 24A with TWRP 2.8.5.1. Any more pointers?
Thanks again for all your help. I can tell I'm making progress, just not sure how close I am to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Dude, I'm sorry for not reading closer to begin with, but ya, you're trying to flash a JB rom with a KK recovery. 2.7 and up are for kk only. I'm so sorry...
Did you flash a gapps zip with Beanstalk? Did you do a completely clean install?
If you still want to flash a 10.2 cm you're going to have to find the appropriate recovery, and there I'm of no use since I entered this phone on kk and don't know anything about its jb history. Also don't know about the USB tether part either (I don't use it) so you're probably going to have to do some searching, flashing, and experimentation.
But bright side is we've figured out why you couldn't flash the cm rom. Either stay on kk or above, or start scrolling through the dev section looking for jb recovery...
SUCCESS!
Last night I read a bit deeper into the CM11/12 thread and found a more noob-friendly breakdown of the directions on pages 4-6. I worked up my courage to dive into adb and it turned out to be easier than it looked. Another failed flash on the CM10.2 ROM left little doubt that the rom had to be the problem, and your last reply confirmed it. I went back to the CyanogenMod download page and grabbed a zip of CM11 and now I'm up and running!
Thank you so much again. I sent a donation to JackpotClavin, and I'd like to do so for you as well, if I could. I don't see a PayPal link in your signature, though.

Check your bootloader version.
I'm running CM 12.1 nightlies since a few months on my Moto G,
yesterday I tried to upgrade to 12.1-20151112-NIGHTLY and got the same error,
so maybe there's something wrong with the nightlies.
Have you tried installing a older one from last week or so,
probably it works.

How can do that? Sorry I'm not very experience with ANDROID things I just bought this moto g2 for the roms but I don't know how to check that bootloader version.

now i checked and my Bootloader version is 4886 and means thats the highest version by now, and in XDA's forums thats the correct version to install a Cyanogenmod 12.1 build.

Hi,
I've got a update problem my Mi 5 after 04/11 nightly version, each time I try to update, it stuck on TWRP, the log shows errors below:
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '@/cache/recovery/block.map'
Honestly I can't understand which step goes wrong, I've been in reddit /LineageOS, there are some guys encounter the same problem like error 7 but none of them could help me to solve mine.
Does there anyone get the same problem with me? Or anyone can help me deal with this, please?
Thanks a lot!
