Installing the original android developed roms

What is your fail message? Could be your recovery version or could be your bootloader. We need more details of the problem and what you've done to troubleshoot it.

[Q] NuSenseOne ROM install not working.

I tried to install the ROM from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631840
I'm running a ROM based off stock 4.3 for the Verizon HTC One, version 2.10.605.1 of the ROM on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319
My my baseband is 1.12.41.1112_2.
I'm using Clockworkmod Recovery version 6.0.4.7, I wiped the Dalvik, data, system, and cache then tried to install the zip I had on the phone twice and both times I got this error:
format () expects 5 args, got 4
E:Error in /data/media/0/NuSenseONE-KitKat-m7vzw-s55-stock_RC1.0_020614.zip.
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I also tried using adb sideload and got this:
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
I used adb sideload for the ROM I'm currently on and my device is recognized when I use adb devices to check. The sideload gets to 100% then gives that message.
I was hoping to post straight to that first thread but since I'm a new member I was hoping somebody could help out? I already searched the thread for the ROM I'm installing and didn't find anything that helps me. Thanks!

Could be wrong...but, it could be a bad download.

Try flashing twrp recovery.
As brholt6 mentioned, it sounds like a bad download. Redownload it and check the md5 before flashing again. If it still fails you should try what DavidHawk62 suggested and try TWRP. I've been using TWRP to flash since I got my One and have had zero problems. I'm currently on NuSense.

I redownloaded straight to my phone and tried it, redownloaded to my computer and tried adb again, but I still get the same error.
May just do what cmlusco and Crawshayi suggested and try TWRP.
Its not a bad download. Status 7 refers to an invalid argument in the zips update-script. It tells you the error is "format () expects 5 args, got 4". This means that in the update-script of the zip, it is calling to format a partition but was not given all the arguments needed to do so. It has to do with being on a newer recovery. You are probably going to find a lot of zips will fail with this error, while on your current recovery. The same issue happened when twrp was released. As i said flash twrp recovery and flash the zip thru it. Or try this one on your current recovery, where i modified it to have the correct arguments. DELETED

Sorry, but I'm gonna ask you to remove that link.
Thanks
If there are issues with my zips please post in my thread.
You need the latest recovery for KitKat.
The ROM installs fine as is.

This is an issue related to using the latest cwm. 6.0.4.5 works perfectly.

I've been trying to update from Beta 1.04 to RC-1.0 on my m7vzw on CWM 6.0.4.7 and I'm getting this error as well. What am I doing wrong?
Love the ROM - it's my daily driver right now.

Do I need to downgrade CWM thru adb or can I do that another way?

Use fastboot commands to flash it. There should be instructions in the recovery thread.

Your recovery seems to be old. Use the recovery included in ROM zip.

Custom ROMs not working

Whatever custom ROM I try installing, TWRP always gives me this error: "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file." I am currently trying to install Pure Nexus. Can someone help me with this?

I agree with DaveHTC200 that it's because you don't have TWRP 3.0.2 RC1.
Follow this to a T (or skip the parts you don't want) and you'll be up and running in no time.
Either the wrong TWRP or corrupt zip.
Should educate yourself a bit more to solve trivial issues like this.

I also had this issue at first and I was using an older TWRP. Should be resolved by updating like the other people said.

i was just having the same issue. start the phone up and create a pin in settings. that will allow twrp to decrypt the system and get access to whatever it needs. I have twrp 3.1.0 rc2 and that's what worked for me. I just installed Resurrection Remix. Don't forget to flash the twrp installer after flashing every new rom.

Have you used any kernel tweaks or anything of that sort before? L-speed maybe?
If I am honest I am not sure ..I ran a couple of different roms then when trying to get back to stock this is where it all has gone wrong
I think the roms I used were leedroid and then viper
I think when installing viper it asked to tweak things that I oked
I occasionally get the same error but it has never stopped me from installing a ROM.
could it be because my phone is s on
when i try to instal a rom using fastboot abd i get the eror (9 ru_security_fail zip from usb command ion download mode)
just tried running this ..........TWRP Backup (Untouched System Image + Boot)
all installed then at very end got this .failed to mount '/devlog (invalid argument)
now just boot looping
Does anyone have any ideas before i skim the phone out the window
progress i have reinstalled a rom called rr-n-v5.8.4 resurection or something
i think this is the last rom that broke my phone i can run this now but it seems i cant go back to stock from here
can anyone help or tel;l me how to get to stock from here

I'm honestly not sure but I've had that devlog error before but like @lightweaponx said it never stopped me from flashing a rom. It happened when I kept messing with kernels and i think it has to do with disabling logging (stops device from creating logs to increase performance) but even then that error never caused me issues. Id suggest trying different twrp version if that doesnt work then perhaps you should RUU and retry it all from scratch.
There are a lot of threada and posts to get back to stock search arounr and im sure youll find it

Flash RUU and stay stock untill you actually know what your doing. Post your CID.
I have tried flashing stock ruu using the zip file but it wouldn't work
I managed to change Karnak last night and install leedroid everything went through but then on booting up it asked for decryption

How are you flashing RUU? You need to format data if you get that message. Can you please post your CID? I have a feeling your trying to either flash the wrong RUU or your trying to do it in twrp which you can't.
