[Q] need help flashing ROM

I have a new evo updated. Rooted with unrevoked and running sprint lovers (PC3IMG) I installed clockworkmod and tried to flash a rom and had problems. I thought that clockworkmod was my problem so I flashed back to my RU recovery. I then went into recovery and wiped data, dalvick, and cache. I then chose install zip from sdcard and then I selected the new Fresh ROM zip. I tried to install it and it goes all the way to Writing boot.img and I get an error that says
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:error in /sdcard/fresh-evo-3.5.0.1.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
So then I tried to install Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo and I get to copying files and I get this error:
E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/[
E:Failure at line 15:
symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/[
Installation aborted
I am stumped and dont know what to try next. Anyone know whats going on with these errors?

Just tried to install pc36img from sdcard and I get this after it says installing update:
E:Can't find update script
Installation aborted.
I think that this will only work if I flash it at Hboot and select yes for the update? Either way, I would rather have Fresh as my ROM because I used it on my Hero and I loved it. Any help?

After reading other posts, many say it has to do with the HBOOT size not having enough space??? Its not seeing the boot.img correctly. I have no idea. Anyone have any ideas?

[Q] Wiped /sdcard and /system - only have CWM now. How can I proceed?

I had an older custom ROM and CWM 6.0.10 and I wanted to update to a newer 4.4 ROM (Omni) so I booted into recovery and proceeded to do a factory reset along with a format of /sdcard and /system. Now when I reboot, I enter recovery automatically.
I managed to push the ROM .zip to the phone using "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip". The problem is that when I try to install from zip (withing CWM) the install fails with this message:
SymlinkingApplyParsedPerms: removexattr of /system/addon.d/50-hosts.sh to 0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
script aborted: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/omni-4.4.4-20140825-maguro-FML.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
I'm stuck here and I'm guessing that I shouldn't have formatted /sdcard and /system as the directory "/0" that the error message refers to isn't on /sdcard anymore (it used to be). Not sure what to do at this point.
I've tried flashing TWRP, but fastboot waits forever with a "<waiting for device>". I thought TWRP might let me sideload the ROM (I was thinking that this manner of installing might create some default partitions on the SD card, as needed.
I welcome any suggestions. BTW, this is all on a Galaxy Nexus GSM

error executing updater binary

trying to flash a cyanogenmod rom onto my rooted phone with TWRP.
Everything okay up to the point on installing the new rom (a zip file).
here's what i get as an error message:
***********
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/<rom_name_here>.zip'
error flashing zip
updating parition details...
...done
****************
I've tried with all the recent cyanogenmod builds for the htcone m9 and I get the same error everytime. Even when i try to sideload from my computer in adb.
I've also seen this error in other forums and they have suggested doing certain wiping procedures and reboots, but I've tried them all and I've gotten nowhere.
any ideas?

Error while updating to Android 6.0

Dear all,
My HTC One M8S from T-Mobile gives an error when trying to update to Android 6.0. The phone is currently at version 5.0.2, and completely stock.
I am trying to install the OTA update, but get the following error:
--
system partition has unexpected contents
E:Error in @/cache/recovery/block.map
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
--
I wiped data and cache, and did a factory reset.
Moreover, in accordance to HTC's suggestion I removed the data for Configupdater and Google Services Framework.
This does not resolve the issue.
I have put the OTA downloaded zip, named OTA_M8_QL_UL_L50_SENSE60_TMO_NL_1.21.114.1-1.10.114.11_release_472459l24j5h7g40lc8ekp.zip, on an sd card and tried to apply from sd card, but I get the following error:
E: Find no match PARTITION: for package path /sdcard/ptt.zip
E: unknown volume for path [ ]
E: Can't mount
E: failed to open last_install: No such file or directory
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: failed to map file
I have found some info with regard to using fastboot or adb to apply the update, but before potentially bricking my phone I wanted to ask whether there isn't anything I am missing here.
Since everything is completely stock, I was hoping there would be a trivial solution I am overlooking.
Any help is much appreciated.

FYI, the OTA you've posted is Lollipop.

You need to use this twrp. Then it will work. About twrp errors: just ignore...

I've already used also that TWRP version
twrp-installer-daisy-3.3.0-0-offain.zip
KO
