Cannot install ROM, not restore old one

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.

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.

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.?

Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 | assert failed: oppo.verify_trustzone

Hi guys today I tried to update my RR rom to newer version but everytime I try to flash rom i get error:
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/RR-N-v5.8.1-20170208-oneplus3t-Official.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done
I tried wiping data, factory resetting, switching system image back to f2fs and on ext4 but nothing, same error every time.. I have TWRP 3.0.4.1 and phone boots to system normaly

99% chance of a corrupt zip.

Its not corrupt, i redownloaded zip couple of times, tried different rom zip too, checked md5 it matches, its something else
There is also this error in log:
Comparing TZ version TZ.BF.4.0.1-76917 to TZ.BF.4.0.1-0028.2
assert failed: oppo.verify_trustzone("TZ.BF.4.0.1-76917") == "1"

Your phones firmware partitions are to old, you need to update to the Oxygen OS 4.0.1 stable or even better to 4.0.2 for it to accept it and install.
This is the second thread with the same problem I'm answering.
Just check out koenkks unofficial LOS 14.1 thread, he has linked to the zip packages for TZ 4.0.2 for both 3/3t in the first post.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762

Thanks guys I solved the issue yesterday, I just flashed OS 4.0.2 and reflashed latest version of RR over that

That's the long road of doing it, but end result is the same of course.

I'll use this thread since I have a very smiliar problem and I can't post in the developers forums.
I tried to install the latest LineageOS Nightly on my 3t but I also got the assert failed error message.
I used the unofficial TWRP 3.0.4-1 as suggested but one thing I overlooked was this:
"Started from lineage-14.1-20170207-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip, we provide unified builds for both 3&3T, and you need to install certain firmware to pass the TrustZone assertion. Currently they're the OxygenOS 4.0.2 ones. As oneplus won't update them every time new OTAs are rolling out, firmware from other versions might also pass the assertion."
Yesterday I updated to OOS 4.0.3. (haven't had a custom rom installed yet) Can anyone confirm that this causes the error? Or did someone manage to switch from 4.0.3 to LineageOS?
Since I have a nandroid backup it's not that big of a deal but it's still annoying.
Hope anyone has an idea.
Best Regards

ROMs insist that my x522 isn't compatible when attempting to flash

Hi guys,
I have an X 522. I've flashed numerous ROMs before and am coming from Bootloaders 8.1. I've attempted to flash Pixle Experience, ASOP Extended, Lineage, and Arrow and I get an error in TWRP when I attempt to install any of them. The error is:
E3004: This package is for device z2, Z2, z2plus, z2_plus; this device is .
Updater process ened with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Arrow-v8.1-z2_plus-OFFICIAL-10180827.zip'
The file is obviously different for different ROMs.
Thanks, guys

Use any other recovery to flash it. this is the most common error. I can't give you links as this is forum for s2 not z2

So why you download Arrow for z2_plus ?

Unable to flash any rom. Need help ASAP!!

I was on latest stock PIE. First I tried to flash HEX kernel over stock PIE, but this resulted into bootloop.
Then I tried to flash, AICP and CRDROID, for both, it says, "error applying update: 7(errorcode::kinstalldeviceoppenerror) updater process ended with error 1".
Need help here ASAP. As I unable to boot to system right now. Using TWRP : 3.3.1 as TWRP 3.2.3 gets only black screen.

I think Thats because of TWRP 3.3.1 version cuz this version got some issues for installing or updating roms.
