Cannot install ROM, not restore old one - K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, so to the point.
I rooted my k3 note with iroot.
Next I flashed my twrp to TWRP 2.8.6, did backup through TWRP, wiped data and while i was trying to install VibeUI 3.1 (all 3.1 official versions)I've got an error saying "executing updater binary in zip" and path to file.
When I tried to restore old one, it gave me extractTarFork() process ended with error=255) on 4%.
Any idea what should I do?
Thanks for all your help in advance
@edit for some reason Limonchello didnt gave me an error, could it be not-latest TWRP that gave me problem with vibeui 3.1?

Are you sure? For example VibeUI 1614 ST can be installed in twrp. It also have the scatter file inside the zip so it can be flashed via SP Flash Tools also.

Did the zip flashed successfully or it gave you a flashing error in TWRP. Remember, that in order for the zip to work, you must be on clean stock ROM which hasn't been attempted to root before.

Flash stock boot.img and then flash the zip. The boot image currently on your device is already patched hence you're facing this error.

Update to Marshmallow - Which ROM and how when TWRP is installed?

Hi everybody,
currently the Lenovo K3 Note runs with Android 5.0 K50a40_S121_150813_ROW (Kao-Alpha2).
OTA provides K50a40_S121_150813_ROW_TO_K50a40_S322_160314_ROW but when downloading the update and confirming the installation phone ends up in TWRP without any further action. I can try to search the downloaded file and install it from TWRP but I did not find it.
When trying to update this file from TWRP by renaming it to update.zip and moving it to the phone update fails with message: unmount of /data failed (-1): Invalid argument script aborted: This package is for "Lenovo K50a40" devices; this is a "Lenovo K3 Note" Error executing updater binary in zip ... Error installing zip file
Does anybody know why this is failing?
Additionally I found within web K50a40_S205_151118_ROW_TO_K50a40_S422_160315_ROW.
Now I am puzzled which ROM version is the correct one? Does anybody by chance know? Could not yet find any information regarding this topic within WWW.
Also I am struggling to get into TWRP by myself. When phone is off and I press volume up and power key I only end up in chinese ROM where I cannot read anything. Can I install OTA version from there? And how can I get into TWRP if wanted?
There are no enhanced reboot menu options and key combination mentioned only brings chinese recovery version up.
Any help appreciated.
Bye
The OTA package can be installed by stock recovery only.
To update the rom using twrp you have to download the full rom.

Use flashify from play store to get into twrp it has option to reboot into recovery
Thanks for your responses.

But TWRP recovery does not work for installing the OTA update! Is there any way to get into stock recovery which is english (I could enter into some stock mode after switching on - but its chinese only)?
If your rooted and have twrp then follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/development/official-build-lenovo-k3-note-k50a40-6-t3370537.
If not rooted use KingRoot on PC it worked for me

Thank you (and sorry for that very late reply). I finally managed to install ROM from above mentioned link (was no prio task for quite a long time).
Unfortunately SMS is gone (not existing within that ROM) and not OTA update is shown.
In addition I also cannot install the downloaded OTA version - the same error still occurs: "This package is for "Lenovo K50a40" devices; this is a "Lenovo K3 Note" Error executing updater binary in zip" => so installing the Stock variant from mentioned thread did not help unfortunately!
Is the version from above link already the lastest one? Any ideas, hints, etc.?

Stuck at EUI: Update or Clear Data screen after flashing stock ROM

LeTV 2 X526
Title. TWRP 3.0, using this stock ROM
http://forum.le.com/in/eui_detail.html?euiid=209
Cleared data, flashed this bootloader (19S s2ww) then the stock ROM(was getting error 7, this was the fix as posted by an xda user)
http://eu.host.erwanleboucher.fr/?dir=codeworkx/lineage/s2/bootloaders
After flashing, TWRP says no OS installed even without any errors.
On checking system partition size in backup, size is 148677334MB (???)
On rebooting anyway this error occurs http://www.leeco.re/topic/1262-stuck-on-eui-update-system-clear-data/
but since the zip file is not named update.zip the phone is stuck here....
Please help. Thanks!
Dude, install TWRP by codeworks
Copy the official 5.8.019s into internal memory and rename it to update zip
Flash the stock recovery
Update the phone from the update option, while in recovery mode
I have noticed that you need to have any kind of ROM installed before you begin to update from the stock recovery. SO in this case just flash any custom ROM from codeworks TWRP and follow the above steps

If anyone encounters this problem in the future, and is running a newer version ot TWRP, try downgrading to 3.0.2-1. This worked for me, after trial-and-erroring for a while.
Try this one twrp v3.2.1..

Stuck at twrp
Hello everyone;
Same problem here with TWRP 3.3.1 on S3 9305: Failed to map file….
I have wiped and I feel at risk when telephone says before attempting to reboot: No OS installed are you sure you want to reboot. Anything i can do??
Probably too late to change TWRP version now ??
PS I cannot restore as backup is not available
