[Q] error executing updater binary in zip when installing CM11 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear HTC One users,
I have Rooted and S-OFFed HTC J One (japan verion of HTC One)
Recently i have tried to install new CM11 ROM, but I am getting error below with different recoveries.
Code:
error executing updater binary in zip
Code:
this package is for m7wlj devices this is dlx
I have tried CWM and TWRP. I have also tried other CM11 verisions
Can anyone please help with troubleshooting these errors? It seems like the package is checking if it is being installed on a correct device, and fails to pass the check for some reason. Maybe there is a way to disable this?
I have also tried to sideload via adb sideload, but I am getting exactly same errors.
Thank you

Have you tried installing on latest TWRP or CWM like TWRP 2.7.1.1?

Helo,
Thanks for reply. Yes I have tried TWRP 2.7.1.1 - same error unfortunately....
maybe no matter which recovery i use, it thinks my device is not m7wlj and thus refuses to install.

Anyone with similar problem?

[SOLVED] Can't sideload a ROM because it adb doesn't show device?

I have the device attached, it shows up in fastboot, but when I do "adb devices" it shows nothing. Therefore I cannot sideload a ROM. The reason I have to sideload is because there is currently no system to boot into.
Is it because I have to find the correct drivers or something? I tried installed HTC Sync manager but that didn't install the drivers. Is there anything I can do to get my device showing up to ADB? I have CWM installed and I went into recovery, enabled sideload and still no results.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
I have a ROM on my sd card already but it won't install. It says error in data/media/0/paranoidota/ROM.zip when trying to install.
Edit: The phone is S-OFF and all that, as I said, the device shows up via fastboot, is there something I can do there?
This had me stumped too.
Look in the device manager and you'll see a device called one. Manually force the drive to android device bridge and try again. Adb devices will return sideload next to the device id

1- you should switch to TWRP, if you have m7_u / ul then 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4, other versions seem to have problems with 4.4+ ROMs
2- check faq #2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2
btw, it's in the FAQ sticky last post

Thanks. I'm able to sideload now but the ROM won't install
"E: error executing updater binary in zip /data/"
More trouble! I'll try a few different ROMs to see if there is an issue with the ROM.

you're in the UK, so safe to assume you have an m7_ul model, did you switch to TWRP 2.6.3.3 or .4?

Yeah it's M7_ul, I put on TWRP 2.6.3.3
Delete the file and sideload again. I couldn't flash a zip, but sideloaded again and it was fine. I assume md5's are correct in the PC

Still no results. Same error. Deleted the file, tried a sideload again.
This is the full script of what it shows:
"Installing /data/media/0/sideload.zip"
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: No MD5 file found.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip /data/
Sorry, what i meant was have you checked the md5 of the file you're transfering on the pc against the download site? It sounds like either the file is corrupt or your recovery can't process it

I tried a different ROM where I did an MD5 check but with everything OK I still get this error. This is the ROM I tried :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472604
Edit: The guys in the Paranoid Android ROM thread say I need a 2.7.0.8 TWRP, That was the ROM I was initially having trouble with and trying to sideload.
I used the most recent twrp available. Think its 2.7.1.1

Yeah I just put that one on. Now we're back to the original problem, it doesn't show my devices when I try to sideload. This is a right pain.

If it shows up in the device manager on your pc, try go back one version of twrp. It should come up as an adb device

I was able to 4.3 B-ETA2 of paranoid android installed and working. On the TWRP suggested in this thread, the Paranoid Android thread lot are saying to get 4.4 I need the most up to date TWRP, so I guess now I can update twrp and load the latest version onto the phone without needing to sideload, hopefully.
Edit: Yup that's what happened. Worked perfectly. I basically needed to update TWRP to the latest version, after flashing an old ROM on via a sideload beucase ParanoidAndroid 4.4 needs the latest TWRP. Thanks for the advice in there. Will hit the thanks button in a sec!
Edit: Limited to 8 thanks a day, how terrible!

[Q] Device not found!

Hey there!
I have a really big problem!
in the beginning, i installed an old version of TWMP recovery, but when i wanted to install a new rom i couldn't and i read that you have to install a new version of the recovery so i did. After that i had two problems, the first one is that i have two recoveries in my device and don't ask me how cuz i don't know! But when i reboot my device it opens the old version of the recovery and when i reboot the recovery it opens the new one!!!
The main problem is that my laptop can't recognized my device any more but in the fastboot mode, so when i want to sideload any rom it says no device found.
I downloaded the last htc driver but nothing changed! HELP ME PLEAS.

First of all, very strange regarding recovery, so download twrp 2.6.3.3 then
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then........
Try updating your adb and fastboot, you can only sideload or push a Rom to your phone using adb commands with the phone in recovery

2.6.3.3 is the most reliable and recommended version, as for the error, check the md5 and file size of the file you downloaded, sounds like a bad or incomplete download to me.

Thank you a lot man for your help! I really appreciate it. But I figure out the problem.
The problem was that I tried to install a new room via an old recovery, so I sideloaded an old version of CM and when it worked I put the new ROM via my computer and flashed the new recovery version "still not found by my pc" but I all ready have the new ROM in the sdcard!

[Q] Cannot install TWRP anything higher than ver 2.7.0.0

I managed to get TWRP 2.7.0.0 using AutoRec. I'm trying to get it upgraded to version 2.8.x.x but can't do it manually using adb or with TWRP manager, or any other methods.
I'm trying to install CM11 and it fails every time, from what I've read, I need a higher version of TWRP to achieve this without getting the error executing update binary in zip msg.
Anyone else running into this problem?
Verizon LG G2
VS98026A baseband
4.4.2 stock rom
EDIT: One thing I noticed, the only versions that show up as compatible using an app like TWRP Manager are the one's labeled with g2vzw
Example - The techerrata downloads for twrp
All the downloads that work are the g2vzw downloads. All the new downloads labeled vs980.zip won't work. I've tried renaming and still have the same problem.

TWRP flashing

Hi guys, I'm experiencing a message "error updating binary zip" thing while trying to flash a liquid smooth rom on my nexus 6. Please help me. Thanks
You might need to update TWRP; what version do you have installed? It should be listed at the top in recovery.

Download this App from PlayStore and you'll be able to find the latest TWRP here It'll automatically flash the recovery and give a try to flash the ROM again
Tried it now and I still have the error while flashing. My version is 2.8.5

Might be they use an old update binary in the zip. Ask in the ROM thread.,

You should give more information like your bootloader version, recovery version, what programs have you tried etc.
Usually to root m7 you'll need:
1 - htc dev unlocked bootloader
2 - custom recovery like TWRP
3 - Supersu.zip to flash in recovery

I'll also add "make sure to use the latest supersu version" because old versions are known to cause bootloops when used on Lollipop+ roms. :good:
So i tried installing supersu with twrp but it was giving errors,I saw that i needed to wipe cache and stuff and so i did...Plus my stock htc one os.Now i am trying to install AOKP rom on my device but its giving error with the zip file and binaries

You haven't provided any information about your phone yet, like suggested by @macicgangsta. Please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (hide your IMEI and SerialNo). What twrp version are you using and what supersu version? What was the errors when flashing supersu? When flashing the rom? What rom version is it exactly...? ideally post a link to that rom and/or everything else you've tried to flash.
reporting problems precisely = fast & efficient troubleshooting :good:
