I need HELP !! - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I have a rooted V50020D that was running stock 4.4.2 and I started having issues with google play and after many unsuccessful trials to fix it, I decided to do a factory reset and I got stuck on the LG logo screen so I went to TWRP and did a full wipe! I've put many versions of the stock ROM on the SD card and tried to flash them using TWRP but always get an error message that says "can't open zip file" and the process fails.. What should I do?? Please advise!!!

Do you check the MD5 hash of the ROMs you're downloading to make sure the zip isn't corrupt?
Also, see my post here. Good luck!

The flash tool worked! I managed to flash 4.4.2.kdz .. Thanks :good::good:

Awesome! You're welcome!

thats because the rom you are trying to flash has no signature, all you have to do is use a recovery that lets you flash unsigned .zip's, the latest version of clockworkmod recovery that comes with the unrevoked flash tool lets you do this
I did what you said and it worked from what i can tell and it loaded on AuraxTSense. The problem is at start up now it just says loading, this may take a few minutes to complete and just hangs there. I can't do anything with it and i can't change the rom from the recovery menu so now i'm even more stumped.

at witch part is it saying please wait? has the rom booted? did you do a full wipe before flashing? try doing a full wipe from the partitions menu in recovery and re flashing the rom
rebooted it and this time it just loaded up properly. Strange but hey.
Thanks for you help on my previous problem. It's basically the same issue but i've also tried deleting the partitions in the recovery menu. I've tried changing the rom from clockworkmod, nothing is working. It just puts AuraxTSense back to default.

[Q] Issue installing SEAL ROM on SM-T210R

Hi all ... I am working with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (SM-T210R) and was interested in speeding the device up.
I flashed TWRP 2.6.3 and rooted and then tried to flash the SEAL ROM after watching the video.
During the install. I got a bunch of errors ... I don't have a screenshot, but it said the following:
ASSERT FAILED package_extract_file ("boot.img") ...
E: Error Executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/ROM/SEAL V2 Official.zip' ....
Error Flashing Zip 'external_sd/ROMS/SEAL V2 ...
Luckily, the backup is working fine and I was able to restore.
I finally was able to flash a debloat script that I saw on XDA to speed it up a bit, but I really wanted to try this rom.
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks very much.

Try removing any spaces in the zip name.

Thanks for the suggestion .. I just tried that and got the same errors.
Strange.
FWIW .. I also had issues trying to install the RocketTab ROM as well. Different problem, but still never worked. As I said, I was able to flash a debloat script that seems to have helped with the performance somewhat but still not great.
Thanks again.

I followed these directions (minus the rooting, as the ROM is already Rooted) yesterday and installed RocketTab 3.1 without a hitch:

I've tried RocketTab multiple times ... and after flashing I get a message that the device appears to not be rooted, and offers to install SuperSU ... whether I say install or not, after I reboot ... the tablet freezes on the Samsung opening screen. I have no idea what else to try.
Thanks.

Did you check the MD5 of the zip, it could be a bad download.

I did .. it matched. I think I'll try downloading again just in case though. Not sure what else to try at this point.
Thanks.
So I re-downloaded the SEAL ROM files and this time it installed without any errors, but I still got the not rooted message when I tried to reboot the device in TWRP. Again, whether or not I choose to install SuperSU, it hangs on the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen and I need to boot back into recovery and restore from backup to get working again.
For some reason, the root in the ROMs is not taking or something? Is that what is causing the problem? Does that make any sense?
Any other ideas? Thanks again!

Sound like the system is not flashing correctly. Maybe try a different recovery.

Try the normal CWM coz touch-based are allergic to my device too....no worries you can still still scroll down the menu list of options using your finger tips

So here is the latest update in my custom rom saga ...
I downgraded TWRP to 2.6.1 .. and attempted to re-flash both SEAL and RocketTab. Both installs seemed to complete without any errors this time, but after rebooting, my device froze on the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo screen .. before the boot animation. This happened for both the SEAL and RocketTab roms. I also no longer got the not rooted error message, so it looked like it was fine.
Any thoughts on why these custom roms are not booting? I appreciate the help.
I restored back to my de-bloated stock backup, and it works fine. A little faster definitely, but not speedy by any means.
Thanks again.
Try philz touch recovery. I also had problems with cwm and twrp. But philz touch does the charm for me.

If it's an OTA from Samsung don't think you can just flash from recovery. Definitely not from a custom recovery. Have you tried "flash fire" from Chainfire? I've flashed whole stock roms and kernels with this on the S4 Mini with stock OS and stock kernel and just root.

Try using a TWRP recovery, and flash with it.
If still the same, try going back to stock, and then start over.
no success
i was on twrp itself and then switched to cwm and i don't even have my stock backed up so i guess there's nothing that can be done here. but if there is a way then do help.
and i also needed the zip file to get back to twrp.
please help.

You don't need stock backup to get to stock!
You can boot into download mode, and flash the stock ROM with Odin using PC, that's it.
What is your phone Model number?
So i can give you TWRP link.
yeah. please gimme the link to a twrp zip file and yes i downloaded a stock rom for my samsung note 2 gt n7100 and i even got odin but when i'm trying to put the md5 file in the AP section it stops for some time and then an error message pops up.
the screenshot is attached of the error message that popped up

The error is because the stock ROM md5 file is corrupt.
If you want TWRP to flash with odin, then here you are.

If you want Stock ROM, then here you go:

Error executing updater binary in zip (noob here)

Hi guys,
I tried to flash LineageOS 13.0 and 14.1 but it fails and I get shown the error "Error executing updater binary in zip". Since I am no professional for sure I thought I might ask you guys. How can I fix this?
If you need further information about my device dont hesitate to tell me.

edit: Just noticed I posted this in the wrong forum, sorry!

You need to update your TWRP if you are going to flash any rom. That is why you are getting errors... https://dl.twrp.me/hima/
You can find a stock rom here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-verizon-htc-one-m9-marshmallow-3-37-t3318605

Thanks mate, gonna try it asap!
Edit: Tried now a couple of ROMs. Most of the time I just get the same error and if it does indeed install, after rebooting it just goes directly into the bootloader again and wont boot the ROM
Weird thing is than I had it working before with that recovery and lineageOS 13

Hi mate,
I updated the firmware with "3.37.605.28_NoBoot_TWRP3.1.0-0_firmware.zip" from the "★ ☆ [6.0][FIRMWARE/RUU] Verizon HTC One M9 Marshmallow 3.37.605.28 Resources ☆ ★" thread (cant post links)
I managed to update twrp to the most recent one and I can finally install LineageOS 13. But for some reason it installs the rom but after the LineageOS bootanimation it keeps shutting down and rebooting.
Any idea on how to fix this? So far you were really helpful mate!
Edit: I always got "updater process ended with error 7" when installing a ROM so I edited the file "updater-script" with this guide: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762
Edit2: Now my phone will reboot after booting no matter which ROM I use. Not even my backup will work now.

Something probably got ginked up in the process and I would start over with RUU at this point.
Back up anything important on your internal memory as this will wipe your device and ruu - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65358513&postcount=4 - then factory reset from stock recovery and flash 3.37.605.28_NoBoot_Twrp3.1.0-0 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65358020&postcount=2 and you're on your way again
