Hi
What is the proper way to make flashable zip to update system?
I've tried Rishik way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163974
TWRP says flash success, but no files were imported or changed.
I've used ROM META files as well, but I get error while flashing "Error executing updater binary"
What updater do I need for Lollipop?
Thanks.

I used that updater files, it just wiped my system, lol.
Was asking for a way to flash zip file with apk like systemUI and such.
But looks like I need to make a special updater files for it, unlike JB.
so did anyone find a way? I'm also trying to make a flashable.zip to flash systemUI on my lollipop galaxy s4, but I can't find a way. I tried the methods mentioned above, but didn't work for me.

I have downloaded the lollipop update in which dlpkgfile is download along with few other, as I have goggled and searched so I know that dlpkgfile is a zip file but when I am trying to open with winrar or 7zip it return a error and I am not able to open it.
Can any one help me with it?
Where do you got that from ?
Maybe it's better to start with a KDZ and extract it if you want to mess with it.

When I download lollipop update that file is present in cache
And what to you want to do with it? It's not a full rom, it's just an update.

I know it is just a update but with in that file stock recovery and stock boot.img is present with some other useful data
Problem: We can download the firmware from Asus in the form of a zip file. We can use adb sideload <firmware>.zip to sideload the firmware.
Request: How can I flash that firmware using fastboot? It looks like I need to use a .img file. How do I convert that .zip file to a .img file?
Reason: I found a situation where using the sideload method didn't seem to work correctly. I ended up having to get a pre-rooted .img and flashed that, but I want a "virgin" img file. Thanks.
If you install zip from ASUS download site (not OTA!) then you will get virgin stock ROM after update.
This kind of update (around 1GB) erases system partition before install, so it doesn't matter how hard you've modified previous firmware. SU, Xposed, etc - everything will be automatically wiped before install.
The question is how do you convert .zip to .img?

tools to build img from zip (only full ROM, not OTA) published there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/orig-development/rom-pre-root-img-t3079590
But keep in mind, it's for advanced users. I would say, for developers.
Thanks. I asked that nice feller if he was able to do such a thing as I'm not a dev or even well-versed in Linux.
What firmware zip are you looking to flash?
flashing system.img was just temporary solution, as the only way to root or modify firmware before bootloader unlock.
With unlocked bootloader and custom recovery you can modify update.zip as much as you want and then install it.
Even if you don't want to unlock the bootloader, then you can use temporary custom recovery and install any modified zip.
So, in general you don't need to create system.img anymore. Just use zip to install whatever you want.

^ That's exactly why I was asking. I can put together whatever zip if they know what they want flashed. :good:

Hi,
can you make system.img, pre-rooted or not, like @shakalaca?
I tried but I haven't enough knowledge to do, though I tried to install a ghitub, etc, etc.
I would like to download the system.img fro last firmware, Z00A-WW.2.19.40.22.
Thanks
Recently I got my Note 5 and have been enjoying it, unlocked and custom ROM and everything with the latest TWRP. But recently I've wanted to flash a different custom ROM and everytime I do so, I get the error message:
E10001: Failed to update system image.
Updater process ended with Error 7: Error installing zip file xxx (xxx is just the filename)
No matter what ROM I flash, whether it is the Xiaomi.eu ROM or any other custom AOSP/LOS ROM, I get the same message.
I need help as I have no idea what to do at all and am worried that the phone might be messed up permanently.
Download notepad++ and 7zip. Unzip the file, go to meta.inf/com/google/android and open updater script with notepad++. Select and delete the assert lines, and make sure to remove the empty space. Zip the file and flash it.
ensure your phone is note 5 pro, not note 5

Could you solve the error?
Same issue here. If you updated to the most recent firmware, then it's impossible to flash anything using the TWRP recoveries available. I get the same E1001 error. I don't think it has anything to do with the model or the ROM. Be careful, because trying to reflash a firmware package will result in a hard brick, and you need to use an ARB authorisation bypass to be able to restore your phone.
For now I have to stay on the latest Global ROM, nothing else I can do.

I tried this with the Xiaomi.eu ROM - no luck, same error. It's not about the ID of the device (TWRP reports that my device is indeed whyred), it's something else.
Mi rom

Hi, I'm facing the same issue. Can you help me bro? Thank you.
Check whether you are using latest twrp or Orange fox recovery. If not ,then update it. I guess this should solve the problem.
Can anyone explain or guide me to downgrade from custom ROM to stock ROM.
I'm using Lineage OS and I'm trying to go back to the stock ROM (nougat).
This is the twrp flashable version of the stock ROM

Thanks for the file but I wasn’t able to flash it.
Error Message is- “Updater process ended with error 7. Error installing zip file ‘/sdcard/Download/Stock_Rom_-S251-_twrp.zip’ “

I saw some tutorials said modify updater-script to skip model check, but I can't find this file.
I removed build.prop before, is it the reason the error caused?
Is there any way to fix this?

I can't flash ROMs because I can't pass the model check, get error code "kInstallDeviceOpenError". I saw some tutorials said modify updater-script to skip model check, but I can't find this file.
Is there any way to recover build.prop?
Or is there any way to pass the model check?
I tried to create a new "build.prop" and write "ro.product.model=alioth" in it, but it doesn't work.

Have you tried doing a factory data reset?
Otherwise you can try to edit the flash_all.bat (It is inside the package of the fastboot stock rom, unzip and edit) file by deleting the first two lines of code.

Miflashtool you mean?
Use the official TWRP Recovery found here, I had the same problem when using the version of TWRP by vasishath.
