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.
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?
Hi, I have a problem with TWRP(3.0) when I try to install any ROM zips besides official CM12 i get the error that the zip is corrupted. I get this error in every zip, even on super SU. I tried on two older versions of TWRP. They just restarted when I tried to install. Only on TWRP 3 i get the corrupt error. I have tried to find awnsers on google, nothing worked. Can comebody please help me? My phone was rooted with LG root tool. I had installed other ROMs before, but then I decided to go back to stock, and now I wanted to customize again. Thanks!
Hello
It restores your stock rom from kdz, then get root by following this guide

Then install the TWRP official app and install recovery from the twrp app.
Hi Guys,
This is my first time working with a custom ROM. I have an old S3 which sucks due to Samsung bloatware. So, I wanted to play and install Cyanogenmod on it.
I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3 (Canada) and the model is SGH-I747M. I was following https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d2att to install the recovery image & Release build (https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2att&type=snapshot). I am using a Mac.
Steps I followed:
Installed Heimdall Suite on the Mac
Downloaded CM12 build & Google App and transferred it over to my phone's internal storage
Restared in download mode
Transferred recovery image
Restarted in recovery mode
Wiped/Factory settings
Apply Update -> cmbuild.zip file
It tried to install and then gave me a "Install Failed" error. I was then able to re-boot normally and get into the phone.
Any ideas, suggestions on what did I miss and what can I do? Is it ok to install the CM12 release build for my S3? Or do I need to go with CM11 or lower?
Thanks.
Flash twrp via heimdall to the s3. After flashing, boot into twrp and flash cm12.1 and gapps.

Ok, so I tried what you suggested. I am still getting Install failed error.
The error says:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/d2att.zip'
UPDATE:
Fixed the problem by Formatting through TWRP and flashing CM12 & GApps again. Worked . Thanks for the help.
Glad you succeeded!
Hello, the names Braadliiah,
I am having excessive difficulty figuring out how to flash any Rom that is beyond Kitkat, even though they, supposedly are "designed" for an "SM-T217s". As I had success flashing Cyanogen mod[cm-12.1-20160706-UNOFFICIAL-lt02ltespr], which is not even for my model of tablet, which is bizarre due to the fact that other ROM's of the same model do not successfully flash. The most recent custom Rom I had attempted to install with no avail, was the Ressurection Remix[[ROM][8.1.0]ResurrectionRemix v6.2.1[Official]]. This ROM was linked into google, under "SM-T217s" compatibility, but for the model "It02ltespr".
The way that I flash these ROM's are through TWRP, namely, version "2.7.0.0". The TWRP dialogue within the flash window, usually says something like, "failed to zip" and "Zip error". The reason I have not done the flashing via ADB & Fastboot is because I have not done this successfully yet, and truth be told, I am not sure it is even possible given the TWRP can't do it? Also, I do not use Odin, because this will remove TWRP, and there is no guaranty that the ROM will work, and then, I will have to re-install Stock Firmware and TWRP. I lack any desire doing double the work, as I have already done a bit of that through trial and error recently.
So is there any method, via TWRP, ADB, or ODIN, which will in fact work? Should I install another version of say, Cyanogenmod, to be able to install this ROM? I am looking for experienced, tech savvy people, as I am a curious noob, who wants a ressurected tablet that can do all modern conveniences via wifi, and be my study tab. Furthermore, I would like, say, Magisk Manager to Install Modules, but can not do so, without a newer Kernel, that is Lolipop and forward. And again, Lolipop and forward do not seem to Install.
I shall be ever greatful for anybody's help. Thank you. :angel:
Update:
Today I experimented with ODIN some more. I had a small victory, because I happened to take the TWRP v.3.1 flash Image, and converted him into a TAR file, and luckily ODIN managed to successfully install this update. However, when it came to TWRP v.3.2, there became an error installing. TWRP still failed to instal zip files from the below ROMs. Furthermore, ODIN seemed to flash the boot images of Custom ROMs well, when converted to TAR files. Yet, when I booted the ROM, this device remained on the Boot screen.
My process by which I installed these ROMs, went like so:
First, extract zip, then convert to TAR via 7zip
Open ODIN, flash TAR in PDA, Boot down android
Boot to Download Mode again, in PDA flash TWRP v3.1 TAR, Boot down android
Boot to Custom recovery, and install proper Gapps
Boot on, and Stuck.
I did this three times, while starting off with a full wipe, to rule some things out. When I tried to fix context, it said Error1
The Roms I attempted to flash were, Cyanogenmod 12, which worked entirely; Cyanogenmod 13 which was stuck on Boot screen, tried twice; Lineage OS 15, which I tried three times, and was stuck on Boot screen.
Do I need to apply more than one file? for instance, CSC, Phone, and PDA? Because I was only flashing boot Image as a TAR file in PDA.
