[Q] Error while flashing a CM based ROM after downgrading to KK from 5.0

So, I had Asia 5.0.2 and I saw a FIUI ROM for our device at the MIUI forums. I decided to give this a go and first downgraded to KK and then tried to flash the zip from TWRP and Philz recovery but got this error:
"Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset"
I thought it might be a ROM specific error, but I also tried to flash CM11 but got the same error. How can I get around this? Is this an issue with the updater script or something?
Any help will be appreciated.

Did you do a factory reset from the recovery menu?

Issue while flashing android 5.1 roms

Hi All,
I have XT1033 Dual Sim (Currently running CM12 Official Build - Latest Nightly).
I tried to install Android 5.1 based roms like (Team UB rome and unofficial build of CM12.1). I alo flashed the Gapps (Android 5.1) I used Philz recovery to flash the same.
Flashing was successful. But when I come to the setup part then i got error "com.android.phone has stopped working" at language selection page.
After that i come to the wi-fi selection page. There i selected skip and i got error "Setup has stopped working". and it again redirect me to language selection page. I get stuck in the loop.
Could anyone please help me to resolve this issue on XT1033 Dual sim device.

Hmmm... Strange. You see did you have trouble flashing CM12? If you didn't, try a different recovery (providing you know how to install)

I tried both Philz and TWRP recovery. Both of them giving me the mentioned error after flashing and the booting of ROM

Did anyone try installing android 5.1 rom based on CM12.1 in XT1033 Dual Sim.
If yes, could you please provide me the recovery.img file you are using for this.
Is this problem because of i am at CM12 and then trying flashing CM12.1 ROM.
Do i need to go back to Stock 5.0.2 and then try to install CM12.1 rom.

"error executing updater binary in zip" please help <3

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

Error flashing - "Error 7" and/or "Can not find META-iNF"

Hey guys,
so I did the OTA update to 6.0 the other day and it completely ruined my battery life so I decided to go back to 5.1
I unlocked the bootloader through fastboot and then install TWRP also through fastboot. After wiping everything, I downloaded a ROM, moved it to my One and tried to install it how ever I always get either "Error 7" or "Could no find META-INF"
I have tried 3 different ROMS, admitedly all CM13 but they all give me either one of those errors.
Anyone have any idea how I can possibly fix this?
Currently there is no OS on my One.
Thank you!

TWRP Error 7 Oneplus One

Hi,
I had a bricked OPO and used OneplusOneRestoreTool so the phone is fixed and running CM11. I have flashed latest version of TWRP recovery onto it via adb and I have rooted it. Whenever I try to flash a new ROM I get Error 7. I have tried removing the assert... line in the updater script but then when I re-zip the file and try to flash it, another error message comes up saying updater-binary could not be found.
Ideally trying to flash latest Resurrection Remix.
Oneplus One A0001
Android 4.4.4, CM 11.0-XNPH44S
Thanks in advance.
