I'm currently on CloudyG2 2.2, I tried to flash several lollipop roms(XenonHD, Blisspop, CM12, Crdroid, etc) always following the instructions and changing the modem or bootstack when necessary and always get the same error "Error executing updater binary in zip", even when flashing KK aosp roms
However when I try to flash a stock rom it gets installed without issues
I've restored 26A KDZ and the problem persists, I'm on bumped TWRP 2.8.6.1
Hope you can help me,
Thanks
anyone?
Try using a non bumped recovery.
You'd need to flash the 12B bootloader, its loki'd. Check Xdabebb's sticky, you'll find it there.

I tried that and I can now flash aosp roms without getting the error,
now whenever I install a custom rom I get stucked in boot animation, again, always flashing and downgrading modem/bootstack when necessary.
Thanks

Okay so I have a VS980 currently running official CM 11 6/1/2014.
I downloaded Xdabbeb's 12b bootstack; 24a bootstack, and his latest ROM; and placed them all on the root of my SDCard
Following his directions to a tee I have tried several times to install the ROM and always get a failure to open zipfile error.
I reboot into recovery Wipe
Next I flash the 24a bootstack file; reboot to recovery
Recovery comes back up I wipe; install the ROM zip that is when I get the failure to open zipfile error.
I assume the bootstack flashed fine because I now have TWRP 2.7, and because it said success.
Since the ROM won't flash though; I am stuck reflashing the 12b file and restoring my back-up.
Am I missing something? Am I suppose to flash a baseband file? Any help would be awesome

Sounds like a bad rom download, did you check the md5sum on it?
Yes, and downloaded the ROM twice to make sure

If the zip won't open its still a corrupt file no matter what the MD5 says. Try pushing another ROM zip to your SD. What ROM are you trying to flash that keeps failing?
Xdabbebs KK rom based on G2 KK source

Other Roms work fine. What I am trying to do is go from using KK ROMS based on JB Source; to KK ROMS based on KK source

Try downloading Malladus instead. That same baseband update you used should be fine. I used his zips to update to 24a and all flashed OK.
Hi guys....I have a few issues....my Verizon LG G2 is rooted. I have twrp 2.7.0 as my custom recovery. It won't let me flash the newest update! As well as it randomly reboots on me...it's annoying. Also I tried to flash cm12 and gapps and is said it was successful. Well it sent me through a bootloop and thankfully I was able to manually enter recovery mode and restore to my previous back up. But what am I doing wrong?! I need help! I'm new at this. Thanks!
PS. I used vs980_AutoRec.apk to get TWRP
I assume you are coming from stock which is kitkat based. CM12 is jb based, so you'll need to flash the 12b bootstack (found in xdabbebs thread)before installing CM.
hello,
I recently flashed 5.1.1 ROM but soon realised that,it has no play store,no gapps.
OpenGapps didn't install either.
So i wanted to flash my old 4.3 ROM from flash tool.,but when i flash it phone turns on in between flashing.
How to fix it,and install 4.3 ROM.
Also if guys can give me a link to pure stock rom(no mods),in a zip file so that i can flash it via cwm,that will work too.
Thanks.

Since you have access to recovery, just flash the zip from here to get the pure unmodified stock ROM.
and if you still wanna flash a 5.1 ROM,
Flash this via fastboot mode on Flashtool,
You'll get access to TWRP,
From there, flash the ROM,
then Tangerine (if you don't want Tangerine, then flash zip from here to get only TWRP recovery)
then GApps.
One more thing..after i install any 4.3 rom,i get stuck in bootloop,but 5.1 installs perfectly and runs.
Why 4.3 is not installing.

I think its because of the recovery. Recovery for JB and Lollipop are quite different. So you have to flash stock ftf before trying any 4.3 ROM.
But bootloader is unlocked,and have flashed doomkernal v3.
What should i do?
Hi, Dear xda members
Last week i soft bricked my Sony Xperia Z c6603
After flashing modified kernel, i lost everything
I couldn't reach recovery even couldn't flash one with fastboot(as my device was not recognized)
I tried flashing offcial firmware through flashtool. It succeeded flashing
But After reboot i had bootloob and the ROM didn't boot
Finally I had a solution to get my phone fixed. Here's what i did:
*Reboot to FlashMode
*In flashtool I flashed TWRP Recovery in FlashMode
Now all custom ROMs are working but when I flash an official and other ROM's based on official, I'm having bootloops
Tried to wait. NO result
Could you help me with it?
P.S the modified kernel was made by this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605/
When i softbricked my phone I tried to fix it according to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...rick-sony-xperia-z-c6602-c6603-c6606-t3215134

I have several problems too including not being able to run stock anymore. (endless black screen after experia logo). I tried flashtool (latest stock via xperifirm), Sony's flashtool. Companion didn't even want to flash (UEGetPhoneInfoMissingInfo), and left me wondering wether something is corrupt.
I've been running CM's for a while now and was wondering why NFC was not working. Not sure if it needs an updated firmware or what.
Other problem I've seen is that "fastboot flash recovery" always gives an error. "fastboot flash boot" works (this is how I install TWRP).
Can I try zeroing mmcblk0 or would that brick it? (does it really need to have a TA partition to accept boot connection? How does Sony init it anyways?)
I think I have a mmcblk0 backup from after unlocking (DRM lost though) but perhaps that will give me a somewhat clean situation again. Or perhaps I can compare it.
Edit: dd-ed my old mmc backup and now Xperia Companion didn't give an error anymore, did a factory reset, and after a long wait of the blue waving animation, I got it to work.
Even NFC firmware update started after rooting and deleting /data/ucf folder.
Now I want to go back to Nougat xD
so, i installed this rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../stock-nougat-7-0-downgrade-binary-3-t3863914
and my twrp got wiped from my phone and now i want to install it again but i can't
i have read the whole thread searching for a solution but it doesn't have one, but in that thread is mentioned that this rom doesn't let you flash twrp
so, there's a custom rom that i can install with odin only? or i'm screwed?
Sir, the rom you downloaded is stock rom. So if you flashed the rom the trwp will be dissapear.
Reflashing twrp might be help.

You Flashed stock ROM therefore it should replace custom recovery with Stock..
Since you are on stock, you might be able to get official updates thru OTA.
You can flash Twrp similarly as you did before
