[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?

[Q] Galaxay Note 10.1 8013 but progam says it is p4noterf (plz help?)

Trying to install a new rom (cm-12-20150113-unofficial-n8013.zip) But I get this message:
"
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Warning: No_filecontextsThis package is for device: c0, p4notewifi, p4notewifiww, n8014, GT-N8013; this device is p4noterf.
E:/Erron in /external_sd/cm-12-20150113-unofficial-n8013.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
I can assure you, my tablet is the n8013... Why am I having this error? How can I fix it? This error also occurred while trying to install the BlissPop rom as well... I don't understand WHAT I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Kris.

Make sure you're using the latest custom recovery. Try redownloading the ROM.

I also get a STATUS7 trying to flash CM12.1 with CWM 6.0.1.1
I have yet to try TWRP but I need a TAR.MD5 packaged image, which I'm having trouble finding.

I'd run into this problem as well, and it actually has to do with your version of TWRP (at least to my knowledge). I was actually trying to flash a custom rom, knowing fully well that my device was GT-N013, when it gave me the error. Turns out, I flashed the recovery for the Gt-N8000 model.
As far as I know, GT-N8013 and p4notewifi are the same device, but considering your error said that "this device is p4noterf," flash the latest version of TWRP for either GT-N8013 or p4notewifi (specifically). Then try reflashing the 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

[Q] TWRP: error executing updater binary in zip

Hi,
I am using the Galaxy A500FU and wanted to use a custom ROM (CM 12.1) by @TheWhisp but TWRP always says: error executing updater binary in zip
I followed the instructions exactly but it just does not want to work.
What can I do?
Thank you

Same here. I tried to flash CM12.1 Unofficial TEMASEK by @mygalaxya for my A500G, and got the message.

You can try to unzip the rom and change the update binary with another that you know that works
