i have just unlocked and rooted my mini and have tried with TWRP (2.7 and 2.6) to flash cm11 and pacrom but i get a "failed" and "e: error executing updater binary in zip".
do i need to be s-off to successfully flash a rom or is there something else i'm missing?
Hi
Which version of HBOOT? For the new partition layout you need TWRP 2.7.0.8

Hboot is 2.21.0000. Is that the new one?

Hi
According to:

No, its the old layout.
But, if you used an up to date nightly, you need the new recovery anyway. See:

Hello, I have a problem after S-OFF my One S, describing a problem:
I decide to s-off my one s, I'm on stock rom jb witch newest hboot, do everything like in tutorial, supercid etc. and finely got S-OFF :good:
On stock is no problem everything works fine. I want to flash custom rom (device is S-OFF status unlocked, rooted, supersu working fine, with flashed newest TWRP). I turn on TWRP chose instal zip and it starting and after 2 second stopped with failed operation. I tried for rom thickdroid and viper checked md5 and file is OK. After failed flashing the phone cannot start, helps flashing stock ruu jb from .exe file and it flash without any problem and then work but if I try ones more the problem is still happen. Any idea what is happen ??? thanks for any idea and helps
Use older version of TWRP or use latest CWM recovery instead - TWRP version 2.4.3.0 does not work well, not sure about 2.4.4.0.
you've got a right, on CWM everything working and I can flash rom
I'm not being able to flash recent roms. I keep getting error status 7. For JB 4.2 and later, I can't flash them. I can flash rom 4.1.2 and earlier.
I'm on 3.18 firmware (latest i think). unlocked and rooted. BUT I have S-ON, is that the problem? If I S-Off. will I be able to flash recent roms? I want kitkat on my phone Sorry im noob
What recovery version are you using?

2.5.0.0 i think, ye. that's it. but I tried with both CWM and TWRP, non work. I suppose S-off is the problem right?
Your recovery is the problem. If you want to flash KitKat ROMs you need the modified TWRP 2.6.3.0 by jrior001, you'll find that in our Original Android Development section. Any other ROM you want the official TWRP 2.6 which you'll find here:

Hello,
I am sorry if this is a repost of something similar, I searched and could not find what I am looking for.
I am a noob at this...
I just purchased an Asus TF300T. Completely stock. 4.2.1 with 10.6.1.27.5 firmware.
I would like to unlock the bootloader, root, flash recovery and install a 4.4.2 KitKat rom.
I have found many threads on here with what to flash, but not many "How-to" for noobs like me. I have no idea where to start.
Anyone have how-to guides or videos?
Thank you!

Outline:
Unlock the bootloader with the unlock tool
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.2 from fastboot (get adb and fastboot working on your computer first)
Flash a KitKat ROM.
Thank you. I have so far successfully unlocked the bootloader using the asus unlock tool apk.
Could you please provide me with a link to TWRP 2.6.3.2. I have only found 2.6.3.0. Also which one do I pick -4.2 or -JB?
Thanks
Hmmm.....a bit of trouble
So I've installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 -JB successfully
I then tried to install AOKP/AICP 4.4.2 and CMB 4.4.2 ROMs and am getting:
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
set_metadata_recursive:some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip 'rom zip file path'
Error flashing zip 'rom zip file path'
Updating partition details...
and now I am stuck in a recovery loop.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

First of all, don't use the -jb version of TWRP with your bootloader, you risk bricking your tablet! The right version to use is -42 for flashing 4.2 based ROMs.
For flashing the 4.4 based ROMs you need scanno's TWRP 2.6.3.2 that is not available from the official site. You can find a link in the OmniROM thread.

i finally unlocked. used this tutorial, im on cromi-x rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
So I've had a chinese version of the opo since last summer, first thing I did was root it and unlock bootloader etc. I've been running a rom for quite a while (really embarrassing, but can't remember what rom). And I tried to flash a new one, but I got greeted with the message "error executing updater binary in zip". I've tried most things, updating firmware, updating to latest recovery, wiped everything, then trying to install, then rebooting and trying again, but no luck. Running CM12 nightlies work, so does oxygenos, however they're not that good tbh. Would love any help

Flash latest CM12.1 nightly first
And then flash your desired ROM
Or else
Flash factory images of latest version Cyanogen OS 12.1 and then flash TWRP and then your desired ROM

Unfortunately these methods did not work for me, I can get on 12.1, but when I want to flash something else (resurection rom in this case) I get the error.
Its a firmware issue you need the correct firmware

Factory Unlock is NOT S-OFF, but it is a bootloader unlock. Please state which recovery you're using.
