I can install ANY rom (cm10.1, Omega 9.1, Revolution 6.0, etc) except for Stock. I tried via CWM, TWRP, adb sideload and Odin. I also tried 3 different .zips (Greek, French DLL4 and DLL7).
I always get the same error:
E: Can't open rom.zip (bad) Installation aborted
Very frustrating.. help?
Have you made sure the rom files are complete? Check the MD5 for each rom u downloaded
Indeed.looks like a bad download.

Hi,
difficult to believe 3 zips are corrupted. As far as remember (but not sure as I didn't flash for a long time), if you downloaded them from samfirmware, you can't flash them through recovery: you need to unzip them first before flashing xxx.tar.md5 as PDA with odin.

Okay, just rooted with Odin, have CWM v6. Everything went fine, rooted fine, running stock rom.
Went to flash CM 10.2 Nightly, got assert error.
Used Odin to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41503727&postcount=13716
That was supposed to update my bootloader. Flashed successful, "PASS" from Odin.
Pull battery, start CWM, wipe data. try to flash CM 10.2 again, and get:
E: Error in /emmc/cm-10.2-20130927-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip
(Status 6)
Installation aborted.
What do I do now?
It lets me install 10.1 just fine.
What version did u update from? The link u posted is lk3, the newest is ucdmg2...
From another forum:

"Status 6 is basically trying to read a file that's not encoded in UNIX"

the flashing script might have been modified afterwards by a UNIX-incompatible editor, which makes it unreadable by Android.

Hello guys, I've recently flashed TWRP recovery and tried to flash a 4.4 Kitkat rom onto my device.
I have a problem trying to install the rom. It keeps saying that there is no MD5 found.
And also could not create file for updater extract in /tmp/updater.
I've got everything that the rom requires such as the Hboot and Ext part. What's the issue here?
I've tried installing a lot of other roms but it keeps giving me this same error, I also can't flash 4ext using the flash from zip or anything. I always recieve the same error.

You could try disabling signature checking from recovery.
I tried flashing the latest snapshot, nightly and stable build of CM.11 using TWRP. I did a factory reset first then tried flashing CM.11 followed by GApps, but all I get is "Failed" in red when I try flashing the rom.
Any Ideas?
Flash Philz Touch recovery and then flash cm11.

Thx. I'll give it a go and let you know! Hope this works
Update: Sadly that too failed. The last thing it tries to do before receiving the red "failed" error is this: Updating partition details...
The error is this:
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '.sdcard/Android Roms/philz_touch_6.15.4-d2att.zip
Im going to try and put these flashable files in the root of my SD card and see if that helps.
If it fails again, find and select Copy Log to SD. Often this will give more insight into the cause.
Try flashing via Odin.
Hi,
I tried to flash a Lollipop ROM on my N2, but TWRP (2.6) only says "FAILED". Also wiping/formating everything doesn't help so I tried to flash TWRP 2.8.6 as a .tar with Odin. It succeeded and reboot but showed only the TWRP startscreen. Installing a 5.1 PA zip with odin (unzipped and zipped to .tar) also doesn't work, it just failed. And trying to install TWRP again only loads a long time and then failes.
Anybody any suggestion? It's just my second device, so it's not that neccessary, but it could be nice if I crashed my Note 4 to have a backup device^^

try to flash stock ROM and make sure you flashed the right one for your device.
it should be smooth to flash lollipop from stock
It doesn't get recognized on PC. I try to find some drivers, but I don't think that works.
Odin doesn't work on Win10, but using it on Win8.1 also doesn't help.

install Kies or universal driver
Anyone ever been trying to flash the stock OG5.TAR through ODIN and had it fail, then sayd Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. I can not get a rom or stock tar to flash and work after having other issues.
Also tried flashing twrp again, then going into recovery and flashing Sac23's Rom, and get this error:
symlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/Note_5_Sac23_Port_V2.1.zip'
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/Note_5_Sac23_Port_V2.1.zip'
and says Failed.

A little more info such as did you check md5 after downloading the stock tar?
Whats your current version of Android?
What other if any mods have you done?
You can try the stock rom by tx_dbs_tx here:

Read the OP carefully.
If that works then go here:

and flash one of the three awsome bug free roms.
