Hello,
I have a problem in flashing my phone to the Beta version of Kit-kat provided by XOLO...I downloaded the update.zip from xolo site..Copied the update.zip to the sd card of the phone.. I tried to flash it from Carliv touch recovery...the flashing process started but some kinda error occurred and the phone rebooted...I have flashed the unofficial version of kitkat provided by some respectable developers but i didnt have any problem in flashing it...Now when i try to flash the official rom i get some error which is not even visible as the phone hardly stays on for 2 secs (Tough to see the error message as phone reboots quickly after the error)...
Please can someone tell me what am i doing wrong..Thank you in advance

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING!!!!
Its official update which has to use in official stock recovery.

If u want to have kitkat just flash this using sp flash tools.

Hi,
I've been using the same old rom for a year or so (slim rom or sth). Lately i tried updating it to something else, but I get this when I start installing rom in TWRP: Error executing updater binary in zip (...). It works the same way every rom i tried.
UPDATE:
Kinda looks like i can install slim rom 4.3 (so i suppose i could install any 4.3), but none of 4.4 works.
Best regards.
Tried to flash CWM recovery from rommanager app, but it said "Failed to flash recovery...".
please help
Download latest recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/development/crespo-philz-touch-t2284670
Then try to flash the ROM. It seems your recovery is very old.

@smit.sanghavi is right.
You need KitKat compatible Recovery. Update your recovery and then try to flash the ROM.
K guys, wanted to try all you said, but there's another problem.
I discovered my nexus isn't rooted. Bootloader unlocked, but any root checker says its unrooted (of course it was before...). So I'm trying to reroot it but when im connecting my phone via usb in bootloader windows 7 doesn't recognize the device. When the phone is connected in recovery or in normal usb debugging mode it recognizes it as adb android, looks good to me. I go back to booloader and i get "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" in Devices.
Installed the drivers on few different ways.
So.... what now ?
UPDATE: solved
Hi,
I wonder if anyone could offer me a little assistance please ? I have a UK Tesco Moto G 16GB (2013) that I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted and CWM recovery installed. Currently, it's running 4.4.4 Kitkat. I gave up with the OTA update as I was getting the 'preflash validation failed' message. More recently, I have tried following the guide on here to flash the XT1032_GPE_5.1_Optimized_v1.1.zip file using CWM. However, this resulted in what I believe is termed a bootloop - i.e. the coloured dots animation just never stopped - I waited half an hour and it was still going.
I've managed to restore it back to my previous 4.4.4 for the moment, but I would like to move to Lollipop at some point - if I could !
Could someone suggest a method I could try please ?
Many thanks !
Kev.
Hi there.
Well, my device is a XT1032 Retail US but I may have been through the problems you're facing right now.
Here we go:
Go full stock (don't know if you revocer from a backup or already did this but in any case you'd know what to do: This guide helped me a lot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219.
Do not install any official update using a custom recovery
Make sure you got the actual latest recovery version. If you went stock from the latest firmware you should have already got it.
If you have your OTA, Install it manually from the stock recovery
This method should work. It is the one I followed.
I got two errors: 1st was because was using custom recovery.
2nd was because my rom was stock but had deleted system apps, so the install failed always at some point.
Once I flashed the latest stock firmware including the stock recovery, I was able to install my OTA update.
Let me know if this works.
I've used CM12.1 based ROMs for a while now, and with my talent have managed to brick my bacon (oneplus one global 64GB), and unbrick it (using this guide)
I've restored it to stock with no problem using this tool.
my problem begins when i try to update to any LP ROM - flashing such ROMs' zip files in TWRP returned "E: error executing updater binary in zip". i found two solutions to this error:
1. first one is described in this thread. i ditched this method after it got me stuck in bootloop every time after flashing a ROM
2. second one (probably the way it should be done) is to update device firmware like described in this oneplus forums thread. flashing this zip indeed allowed me to successfully install my ROM but with one big problem - the SIM card is detected for a few seconds (even then the device wont find any networks) and then drops to "no SIM card detected - emergency calls only" then it gets detected again and so on...
I've also tried flashing some different modems like described here but it didn't change anything
have anyone encountered any network related problem after upgrading to a CM12.1 based ROM or have any idea how to solve my problem (mobile network connections won't function after upgrading to cm12 firmware)?
help would be very appreciated!
edit: if it helps, i also found that OTA updating to the latest build XNPH44S also breaks the phone's ability to connect to a mobile network
Get the oneplus one build which was released as a fix to ghost touch.. It is nothing but oxygenOS!! Backup ur data and follow the instructions and flash the oxygen rom then wait for the first boot after first boot just update ur recovery to latest twrp and get the bacon firmware update zip file from any of the major rom threads like blisspop or exodus then flash that then flash the latest cm12.1 nightly and AK kernel(optional) then boot it up!!!
Transmitted via Bacon

1. TWRP must be installed before installing OxygenOS as it comes as a flashable zip and not an OTA/Cyanodgen update...
2. installing OxygenOS was no problem without the firmware, however after it booted i noticed it broke my mobile communications in a very similar way, so no luck with that one.
3.even after installing oxygen the firmware update is required to install anything like a CM nightly or a CM based LP ROM, and my problem was that this firmware upgrade broke my network connection, so i don't see how that could help me in any way
3.1 after flashing OxygenOS not even the firmware update would allow me to install a different ROM...
4. i linked the forum thread my firmware update came from (also found a similar suggestion in a YouTube video) and couldn't find any reference to it in any of the main ROMs' threads like you suggested, they all just say to install TWRP wipe everything and flash their zip (some say to flash a nightly before)
any other ideas? I'm starting to get desperate around my suddenly not-so-functional bacon :crying:
!!SOLVED!!
steps:
1. flash the latest CM12S fastboot image
2 .delete line 2 "aassert(oppo.verify_trustzone("TZ.BF.2.0-2.0.0109") == "1");" from the updater-script file in the custom ROM's ZIP installation file
3. flash the "hacked" zip file with no problem
4. enjoy your custom ROM installed bacon, WITH your mobile connection.
thanks for the help anyway!

I have unlocked my device bootloader and installed CWM recovery following the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/honor-4c-root-cwm-recovery-inshaalmirza-t3177770 was able to install CWM but I wanted to install TWRP and followed the guide by @HassanMirza01 but wasnt success to install TWRP , if I am trying to flash Marshmallow ROM using CWM or by flashing IMG files using ADB I am not able to do it. Every Time I try to flash a ROM from CWM I am getting error and while flashing IMG files using ADB the screen is being struck at boot logo.Can anyone guide me how to replace CWM with TWRP so that I can Install Marshmallow (every time while I am trying to flash TWRP it is being struck at boot logo and had to flash stock ROM to recover the phone) and install marshmallow.
Note: Initially I upgraded to Lollipop as the version was not stable and Buggy I reverted to stock version using the official guide.

You can try this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495 or some version of TWRP for honor 4x or p8lite. And then you can try to flash stock firmare using this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702. You might need to be in lollipop or marshmallow to use it.

What error did fastboot gave you when you tried to flash TWRP?
No error given but after flashing twrp device is struck at boot screen and can't move to next screen cwm flashing works fine .
Is it mandatory to have lollipop or marshmallow update to flash twrp?

I don't know how things really work or why they need stuff to work. But in TWRP thread it says for android 5.1.1 - 6.0. So I guess it's important to have some of those versions.
Is there any other way to flash lollipop or marshmallow from cwm? I even extracted update.app and flashed recovery, system , boot images individually but it also doesn't work struck at boot screen. Can I fully wipe system files from phone and re-flash lollipop or marshmallow update. Similar to full format of a PC.

No idea will that work, but one thing that comes to mind is to flash those images you did and then put UPDATE.APP in your sd card in folder named dload and do force upgrade ( power + vol up + vol down ).

Tried that too but no success. I think the problem occurred while downgrading to kitkat from lollipop maybe it corrupted the boot system. Even that is the case while flashing and wiping cache so many times it might have showed error in any of the instances but it didn't. Can't find out what actually preventing system to update.
Hey there.
So, my 6045 was on that awful MM update filled with ads, so I changed the firmware to the Panasonic one in order to be able to install TWRP and next flash either Lineage or RR.
I have no problem installing TWRP using the Idol 3 suite (Here), however, whenever I try to flash the Lineage zip, or the RR zip, it gets stuck on the Powered by Android screen.
I always wipe everything before flashing the zips.
I have tried wiping cache/dalvik after flashing them, and also not wiping. Either way, and with both roms, the phone gets stuck, and I need to use the Panasonic tool again to restore the phone to a functioning state.
Please help, I've been repeating this process about 10 times, and it's getting very frustrating.
Thanks.
EDIT: Is the version of TWRP somehow relevant for this? The latest version I can install is 3.0, from the link provided. If I try to install this one I get a bootloop. Please help.
Hi, u need to flash the MM partitons zip first then the rom . Look on AlekDev customs roms threads, he usualy has the MM partition file.
