I've recently attempted to flash a rom in the TWRP Recovery and im receiving an error saying "error updating binary in zip /sdcard"
Can anyone help please because i don't have a backup to go to and i'm in need for solutions
Are you running the latest version of TWRP? If not try updating to the latest version. If you are running the latest version, try Philz Touch. I had problems with TWRP but not Philz.
Another possibility could be that your ROM download is corrupt.

Hi there.
I am trying to flash new ROMs now but i noticed that in the older recovery version list in ROM Manager no longer have 2.5.1.3.
The only 2.xxxxx version is only left with 2.5.1.4. However I am unable to flash that recovery version too. It says "An error occurred while flashing your recovery"
I only can flash those 3xxxxxx which is 3.0.2.5, 3.0.0.5, and 3.0.0.6.
Any idea what has happened?
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.
Trying to flash several ROMs on the latest version of Teamwin, and even a lower version after reading that it helped someone. Had to use ODIN recently and went back to a bone stock ROM, and now I rooted it and am trying to flash a custom ROM. Trying the latest SlimROM, Liquid, CM11, no luck.
Teamwin is saying "E: Error in /external_sdcard/ROM NAME
(Status 7)
Error flashing zip ' /external_sdcard/ROM NAME
Updating partition details. . ."
Any ideas before I re-ODIN my phone and go back to using a stock ROM?
Alright, I installed a JB stock ROM with bootloader via ODIN and I'll use this until tomorrow when I have more time. I'll re-root it, get a proper 4.3 ROM and give it a shot.
Did you give CWM a try?
Is there a reason your trying to use twr specifically?
Just installed TWRP 2.8.0.1 and I'm unable to flash any 4.4+ ROMs. I get the error"E: error executing updater binary", then the flash fails. Is there any way to fix this?
Was trying to flash the new Dirty Unicorns ROM.

I would try a different recovery, from what I understand there are some problems with twrp 2.8 on our device. I could be wrong but the one that was posted here was closed because it was erasing the whole phone.
Try twrp 2.7 or Philz. CWM is ok, but I think Philz will restore a backup from CWM or TWRP.
Hi guys
I'm having some trouble with my HOX. I`m currently running a rooted droid running android revolution 33.1. I have CWM 6.0.3.2 as my current recovery and am trying to update to 6.0.4.8 so I can put slimkat 9.0 on my HOX. As I understand it the slimkat rom requires SELinux support for the rom to run and the latest version of CWM has this.
I have tried flashing the update using flashify and rom manager. Both say they have flashed correctly, however when i boot into recovery my version is still the current one im running. I have also tried using fastboot to flash the new recovery and it keeps coming up with "unknown error" in windows CMD. I have also tried apply update.zip from the recovery and i keep getting the error message "E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip no such file or directory". And the zip file i made is just called "recovery" and NOT "recovery.zip". I know this has caused trouble for other people, so this was the first thing I checked.
So I have a few questions. These are: Why fastboot won't flash the new recovery/why I get the error message "E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip no such file or directory"/ would i have to revert to stock rom and recovery and relock so I could re root the HOX and install the latest recovery.
Any and all help is welcome and greatly appreciated.
