Just link to the update binary and flash the zip directly after the ROM flash.

Try this or flash tangerine 6.6 elf, it has Philz and TWRP both.
Hello, I flashed LOS with my m7 international version. Sadly, Lineage dropped the support. I then flashed back to stock ROM via twrp. However, the stock ROM always prompt me to install the OTA update and I couldn't because I replaced the stock recovery with twrp.
So, my question is can I just revert twrp back to stock recovery with the ROM being untouched. Or do I need to do so like this 100%?
Thanks.
If you can find the correct version of the stock recovery for your current firmware you can fastboot flash that.

How can I find the stock recovery? My version is: 7.18.708.21
However, I cannot find it on google.com.
please help.
When I typed "HTC One M7 stock recovery" into Google the first result I got was this XDA thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545227, so that's where I'd start looking.
As far as I can tell 7.18.708.21 is a HTC Asia HK software version. That thread has a recovery image for 7.18.708.2. I couldn't tell you whether the recovery changed at all between that and 7.18.708.21, so it's possible that that file will do what you want, but I cannot make any promises.
Otherwise you just have to try an RUU, as that guide you linked describes.
Yeah, I also got 7.18.708.2. However, I would not take the risk unless I found the right one. Thanks though.

Download your ota update
Select "install later"
Connect your phone to your compter and copy the ota zip file from the download folder to your desktop.
Use winrar to open the ota zip file and extract firmware.zip from it
Use winrar to open firmware.zip and extract the recovery.img file.
Thats the recovery you need, flash it with fastboot then reboot phone and install the post poned ota
If the ota fails to install, youll have to flash a ruu
I am trying to flash the 7.1.1 AOSP-CAF ROM (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/aosp-caf-6-0-t3284309/page50) on my Moto G 2014. When I try to install this ROM, it gives an error : Error executing updater binary zip in data/media/zip.( even though the zip file is in the SD card).
I googled it found that some threads suggest updating Custom Recovery or updating the Binary script. but I don't know the exact process to do that.
I am a noob so please help me out here!

Take scrrenshots and send.(snaps can be taken in TWRP as same as normal screenshots in Android)
Nevermind. I updated the TWRP and it worked fine after that.
I've tried searching for the stock rom for this phone for 2 days now, i just cannot find one.
i've tried to use custom roms, but only one that worked was this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5c/development/elite-rom-nougat-builds-cxxbxxx-t3635413) but it didnt have audio for some reason.
eh
I've tried to use firmware finder on android to try to get the stock one, but for some reason i couldnt flash it. didnt work.
so is there some way i can do it via twrp?
First you have to flash the stock recovery and then you can flash the FullOTA with Firmware Finder.
To get the stock recovery you can download the rom on your pc, open the update.app file with the Huawei Update Extractor ----> https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2433454
and extract the RECOVERY.img. Flash this file like the twrp, same procedure.

okay new problem, i downloaded the uppdate and started to install but now it says software install failed. you know what to do??
Thread closed by OP request.
Hey guys,
I was trying to unlock my phone and install a custom ROM so I installed TWRP and everything was going smooth until I tried installing a custom ROM. In TWRP I hit "Install" and click the zip file for the ROM I want (PureNexus) and it says "Invalid zip file format! Error installing zip file '/sdcard/PureNexus.zip"
Does anyone know what the problem is? I can't figure this out. This is the first time I'm doing anything from the bootloader so I'm a bit of a newb. I would be fine going back to stock everything if it means my phone will turn on. I tried installing the official image from google (7.1.1) and I get the same zip error.
So where I'm at is I do not have an OS installed on but I do have access to TWRP. In the command prompt on my desktop it recognizes my phone when I type 'adb devices' but it doesn't do anything when I type 'fastboot devices'.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm scared.
Okay, so I figured out what fastboot was and I was able to install Google's 7.1.1 stock image using the command prompt. I was freaking out for a few hours and even though I didn't get the custom ROM I wanted I'm really happy I didn't brick my phone. I've never done anything like this on my phone so it was a fun learning experience
I'm still curious what I did wrong and why TWRP couldn't unzip any of the zip files (PureNexus, Google Stock, etc). If anyone knows I'm still interested in learning what I did wrong.

TWRP: wrong version or damaged;
ZIP: damaged or incomplete download.
Latest version TWRP is 3.2.1.0.

Yes, and the Google factory image isn't meant to be flashed that way. I guess the Google OTA image might be flashed from TWRP, but I haven't tried it.
TWRP will flash an image (. img) file if you set it to by tapping the img button. If you don't have that set and try to flash an image it will error. If you have it set to img and try to flash a zip it will also error.
1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Install the latest TWRP recovery.
3. Wipe.
4. Install the required ROM.
To go back to stock firmware, just download the relevant factory firmware zip, extract it and run the script. I think a readme file is provided in the zip explaining how to go about it.
Cheers! Happy New Year!
