Whatever custom ROM I try installing, TWRP always gives me this error: "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file." I am currently trying to install Pure Nexus. Can someone help me with this?

I agree with DaveHTC200 that it's because you don't have TWRP 3.0.2 RC1.
Follow this to a T (or skip the parts you don't want) and you'll be up and running in no time.
Either the wrong TWRP or corrupt zip.
Should educate yourself a bit more to solve trivial issues like this.

I also had this issue at first and I was using an older TWRP. Should be resolved by updating like the other people said.

i was just having the same issue. start the phone up and create a pin in settings. that will allow twrp to decrypt the system and get access to whatever it needs. I have twrp 3.1.0 rc2 and that's what worked for me. I just installed Resurrection Remix. Don't forget to flash the twrp installer after flashing every new rom.

Hi, so I'm trying to make this quick so that i can install CM10 tonight...
so I rooted my phone tonight, did everything right and stuff, but I went to go download the CM10 nightly build for my phone which is the Rogers (Canadian version). So I download the d2att version, did a backup, wiped everything and I tried installing it using CWM-Based recovery v5.5.0.4. But when I tried install it gave me status 7 aborted. I installed cwm using odin3 v1.85, what am I doing wrong, am I trying to install the wrong version? Sorry if this is a noob question but I'm new to this stuff :/
thanks for any help
Can anyone explain to me how I can update CWM? I downloaded the latest img from their website, but idk how to install it...I'm really confused...and I really need help :crying:
Go look at QBKing77 videos on YouTube or QBKing77.com he has the best videos in my opinion and installing CM10 and CWM. I am on CM10.1 without any problems.
hmm, did you use the v5 recovery? Did it work, because the version i had was cwm 5.5 and I couldn't update because of system 7 error, which is because the CWM version was too old.
If possible, could you link me the one you used?
Ok..so now I installed TWRP and I tried flashing CM10 it still didnt work and gave me status 7 error and it says:
assert failed: getpro ("ro.product.device")
E: Error in /sdcard/cm- 10.....d2att.zip
Is this because with goomanager i installed it for the d2can version and now I can't install the d2att even though thats the only version i can use? goomanager only lets me get d2can...and when I try to install the never cwm recover img using android terminal it keeps giving me No such file or directory.
Can anybody help me with this...

have you tried flashing another ROM, like an-aosp or aokp-based one? If you followed their instructions, it may help you determine whether it was a bad download or something s more specific to your device. just throwing this one out there....

I just flashed AOKP and everything worked great! Thanks for that little suggestion! Custom ROMs are now my favorite!

If you want to flash a CM ROM you will need to be on the most current d2att recovery for either CWR or TWRP. If you were getting a status 7 error, I'm going to assume that you have a d2can phone.. make sure you have a d2att recovery and you'll be able to flash anything. ROM Manager will let you install CWR or Goo Manager will let you install TWRP (which is what I use).

I tried using TWRP but when I installed it through GooManager it installed the d2can version so I couldn't install CM10. Unless there is a way to manually select which TWRP version to install through GooManager, then I'm more or less stuck on CWM.
edit: Just got TWRP for d2att installed so now I can flash whatever I want, man TWRP seems a lot better than CWM!

i remember seeing error 7 before on a rom i tried to flash.. i was using CWM so its not the recovery's fault. turns out there was a problem with the rom...
so find another rom to flash would be my answer for now.
The problem is that i get this error whatever i tried to flah. Even cwm or some other rom result in same error

What procedure are you using to flash? What file are you trying to flash and where did you get it from?
I start up the phone using volume down and power. Then in teamwinner i chose install zip and then the file
so far have tried, all downloaded from here or linked from here, those files
CWM-Touch-6.0.2.5-DJ
Hellybean-20130405-crespo
TWRP-2.4.4.0-DJ
jellyshot_crespo-v3.3
nothing works. all of them exist with error 7

Fair enough about the roms, but why cant i even install cwm? This shows me just the error 7 too
I wouldn't be surprised if your recovery is either not for your device or not even a flash able zip.

Where did you get that CWM? http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager? If so those are img files, for flashing from fastboot. But I have no idea what "DJ" is for. To flash from recovery it needs to be packaged in a flashable zip.
Or you can install CWM from the ROM Manager app. Or TWRP from GooManager.
quite frankly i wouldnt use CWM. The UI is annoying as hell, and it tends ot be a lot slower, at least from my own experience.
I recommand TWRP, http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/90 latest version here for maguro.
if you have adb set up, installing twrp is cake, simply open adb and type:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img <-----assuming you are in the directory of that img file you just downloaded, and TWRP is just the name of the img file, its usually attached with version, so i would rename it for easier access.
3) after you flashed it just boot into recovery and start flashing your new rom.
If all else fail.....use the toolkit and flash factory image for a fresh start, i havnt failed with factory image yet
Hi,
I can't flash this ROM onto my N5100: [ROM][N5100]Official CM 10.2[JLS36I][11/18/13]
I have twrp 2.6.0 installed and everytime I try to install the zip it says error executing updater binary in zip and it fails.
Also tried this with other recovery, but always getting the same error.
I must be doing something fundamentally wrong, can anyone help me out?
Thanks for any hints.
Try the version of TWRP that I made here or one of civatos CWM recovery.
Cool, thanks, worked like a charm. :good:

Anyone on the above rom having trouble with update?? I use the rom updater on the phone and it showed a new update for 8-12-18 I've downloaded the file twice with the same outcome, pops up an error that just says install error?? Any of the updates before that installed fine..

Download and install with twrp. If that build has treble and the one you're using doesn't, you need to flash with twrp for it to change OEM to vendor which the installer cannot do in boot time. It can be dirty flashed if the keys are the same. (I.E. test key to test key. If its from the same source, it is the same)

crazy question, how do i install magisk now? I've tried it with the older twrp i was using and I've tried it with the newer version twrp you suggested and i get boot loop now. I tried with the lineage recovery and it fails?
Let me explain the problem I'm facing, so basically I am able to flash ROMs normally via TWRP *if the stock MIUI ROM is there*, but if I am flashing one custom ROM over another (such as dirty flashing to update a ROM) or moving back to MIUI from the recovery zip, it gives me the following error -
Error applying update: 7 (ErrorCode:: kInstallDeviceOpenError)
ERROR 1: Error installing zip file ROM.zip
Does anyone know why this happens?
Which rom and What is the installation procedure you're following for that particular rom?
Try the other TWRP version than u had already.
