Hey guys,
I spent all day to find a solution but I failed.
To start off, I've got a Sony Xperia L (taoshan), which I flashed with CyanogenMod using Clockworkmod.
Lately I updatet it to CyanogenMod 12 and slowly but steadily I got pissed because the CyanogenMod Recovery which was automatically installed with CM12 couldn't update to the next version, so I always had to manually flash the "old" boot.img of the cm11 in order to get a working recovery and then flash the new Version of CM12 which again blew out Clockworkmod.
Because I was annoyed of this I tried to install TWRP hoping it would solve that. Of course it didn't went as smooth as in any tutorial which would have been installing the app from the Playstore running it and done, but I had to flash it in the end.
So now TWRP "works". But it couldn't install the latest CM (a couple of hours have already passed, so I don't remember what the error message said or wheter there was a message at all)
Somewhen I did a full wipe to solve something but obviously it didn't work.
At some point I gave up trying to install the latest version and I started trying the Version I had running before. Luckily I still got the .zip of that very Version I flashed a couple of days ago using CWM, which means this .zip does definitly work!
But the sideload of TWRP does not work. The command promt says:"device not found" , while my Xperia L says waiting for input.
So I extracted my Micro Sd, plugged it into my PC copied the "Old" boot.img, that had CWM PLUS the .zip I intend to install and a .zip file with gapps I knew I had to install after the CM12.
After the transfer I repluged the micro sd back into my device and tried to install the CM12 ... .zip directly from the sdCard.
Well for a few seconds it looked like an installation process but then my phone directly rebootet TWRP without installing anything.
Then I tried moving the .zip onto the internal storage and install it from there.
There it says: "Error executing updater binary in zip..."
At that point I had enough of TWRP and tried to go back to my old method... Means
- turning the phone off
- extracting the boot.img from cm-11-20140827-NIGHTLY-taoshan
- setting my phone into fastboot by pressing volume up and connecting it
- open a commandprompt at the folder where fastboot.exe lies
- use fastboot flash boot "path to boot.img" to flash CWM onto my device
- use fastboot reboot and then volume up at the purple light to go to recovery, which should be by then CWM
And I saw a nice blue logo of Team Win Recovery Project and I wanted to cry...
So in Summary I searched a lot of Sites for a solution but didn't find a single one to solve one of my Problems...
For the lazy ones:
- I cannot use Sideload because the commandpromt doesn't recognize my phone... however it did when using CWM
- I cannot install it from my SDCard, because it reboots without doing anything
- I cannot install it from the internal storage because "Error executing updater binary in zip
- I cannot use CWM because if I flash the boot.img that brings about CWM nothing happens and I still have TWRP
Well I am at the end of my knowledge and I truly hope one the answers I get here work out.

I ran into some trouble trying to install a new ROM, and now have a hard time getting things up and running again.
Just figured I'd share a solution that took me an hour or 2 to figure out.
The Problem
The system didn't boot up any more. At some points I got stuck in a boot reloop, at others in the HTC screen (for development use only)
The Basic Facts
S4
Unlocked
Hboot 1.06.0000
Radio 1.06es.50.02.31
I could always boot into bootloader and into recovery (TWRP 2.3.3.0 - although that one always asks for a password, but when I click on Cancel, it does seem to work
The Things I Tried
I tried to install a ROM by first pushing it with quick adb pusher to the sd-card that was mounted in twrp, I then tried to install that zip file but got all sorts of 'mount' errors
I then tried to fash a stock RUU (I found RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7_Radio_1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L_release_279577_signed.exe), I relocked the phone with the one-in-all toolbox (which worked just fine), the phone went into bootloader, a White HTC sign appeared on the screen, it sent the file, then did 'updating signatures', but ended up with ERROR [130]: model ID error. I take it that is because it found a different Radio from the one expected
I then tried to flash the 'right' radio for the RUU I found (radio-1.08ts.50.02.16) by doing fastboot boot radio.img, but that gave the following error: "reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error"
The Solution
I finally managed to install the ROM through the all-in-one toolbox. I selected under the 'ADB Sideload a ROM' option under 'Extras', the went into 'adb sideload' in twrp advanced and selected a rom I had downloaded (in my case ViperOneS). It started sending it properly (sending:'sideload' x%), it then showed the Team Venom logo and opened the aroma installer. I selected full install with a full wipe (to be on the safe side), and aroma then did its thing until it said "new ROM flashed successfully". I then rebooted and had to wait a few minutes for the first boot (as it had warned me), but I'm fully back up and running again! So If any of you experience a similar problem, you may want to try this out (and avoid the other things I tried.
Thanks for posting a solution. But I do want to point out that this is the development forum. As such, your post doesn't belong here. The General or Q&A forums are the correct ones.

Thanks Thanks Thanks !!!
I've been stuck on boot with every rom's that i've been trying to install!
I was becoming very concern about the problem !
I went from CM10 to the new Viper 2.0 but having troubles with WIFI I start testing others roms and than I become stuck!
Since I've TRW 2.3 and tool kit in my pc I give a shoot at your tutorial and it WORKS.
Thanks again,
Rui

So after having my Transformer for some time now (unlocked, rooted, and running CROMI) it began to get sluggish. I wanted to upgrade to something else, and decided to try PA HALO http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2376927
I missed something somewhere, prob the fact that I installed TWRP over my CWM that I had from long ago, instead of upgrading to the new CWM, or the fact that I'm still on the 10.4.4.25 bootloader. I rebooted into recovery, flashed the PA zip, rebooted into recovery, flashed the new GAPPS, and wiped the cache and Delvik. When I went to boot it up the "ParanoidAndroid3+" text and neon jellybean/fish thing show up, then nothing.
I (stupidly) did not make a new backup before doing this change (though there is one from my CWM, but TWRP doesn't seem to recognize it).
ADB does not seem to be working. When I select the USB icon, while using the power+volDown, I get the message "starting fastboot usb download protocol" and ADB does not see the device. If I let the device try and boot (when it gets stuck at the neon jb/fish) ADB sees the device, but gives the error <waiting for device> when I try and flash the new CWM. I seem to be able to access the terminal from TWRP, so I know there is a way to load the old CWM restore files, I just don't know how.
Help is needed.
found a way to do it, but I guess it took away my root when I flashed the new rom. Now I get "su is not recognized" from the terminal..... I'm downloading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107271 and will try to get the os to boot. I can always re root the device, but I kinda need the device to boot into something first.
You missed quite a lot to get yourself into that pickle.
The second line of the PA thread reads:
GET THE LATEST BOOTLOADER AND RECOVERY
The link leads you to the CM 11 thread where it says in no uncertain terms that you need to be on the 10.6.1.14.4 or later bootloader. You think a 10.4.4.25 bootloader will run a JB 4.3 rom?
I hope you get it working.... Good luck

Thanks for the kind kick to the nuts guy. I flashed the new bootloader (10.6.1.14.4) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223918 that was already on the root of my tablet, downloaded GAPPS (4.2.2-4.3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405292 and placed it on MicroSD card, and already had the PA rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039557
Did some searching and came across a thread (can't find it now) that said to wipe before and after installing GAPPS.
It works now. The process went as follows:
1. Flash bootloader and reboot into recovery
2. Wipe cache/Delvik, flash GAPPS, wipe again
3. Flash rom
4. Reboot and wait for the rom to settle
Something is still wrong, or I'm not understanding the layout of PA, because I'm missing some options and buttons for some apps I've downloaded. I've made a back up with TWRP (for just in case), and am going to try getting CM 10.2 on there.

The "kick" was really meant as a friendly slap upside your head which was probably unnecessary since I hope you did that yourself already extensively - so I apologize
Glad you got it working :thumbup:
Hi,
I am quite new to this but have done everything i can to solve this problem. I have a HTC One S (s4 version).
- i have unlocked my HTC via HTC dev.
- i have installed Clockworkmod recovery.
- i have sent a Cyanogen 11 zip file via ADB push command.
- i tried to install the rom but i had status 7 error, didnt work.
- i flashed TWRP2 recovery instead of Clockworkmod, via fastboot on my pc.
And now; i reboot to TWRP recovery, ADB push my Rom again to /sdcard/, this works. I go to install, i can select the zip file, it asks me wether i'm sure i want to install it, i proceed and then get the error "E: Unable to mount '/internal_sd' " "E: unable to mount stoarage".
So i have root acces, ADB works. Fastboot works. But installing a rom doesn't work with either Clockwork or TWRP2.
Versions used are TWRP 2.7.0.0 and Cyanogenmod 11, a snapshot version.
How to solve this?
Thanks

if your device has a forum for itself please use the Q&A there, you would get better help from professionals that own your device, there's lots of devices on xda and its possible this problem only exists on your device. if you ask these questions on the general Q&A you will most likely get answers from people who didnt read your OP and will give you something stupid. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s/help hope you fix your problem!
Hi, so recently my HTC One X has been acting up so I decided to install a ROM to make it much faster, so I had to unlock the bootloader. When i've done that I flashed CWM on my device. Then I tried to install a rom that was on the device and it didn't install which leads me to my first problem, the page said I needed to reset everything and use the fastboot command to flash the zip file that worked but when I went to CWM (to install gapps) the device never booted in the ROM just kept going back to CWM. So I googled this and there was multiple things I tired out like adb command etc also it would be easier if this problem was fixed if this button worked (mount USB storage) I press that and it does not work. So then I don't know what to do. I'm stuck here please help me the rom was cm-11-20160815-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip.

Hey, I know this is an unusual thread, thats because I have searched through forums as much as I could and was not able to find the solution to my problem. Well after wiping my device, I tried installing the latest LineageOS 15.1 for my Oneplus One. Halfway through the installation, it says there is an error executing the update binary and it also displays another message which is as follows : "E3004 This package is for device: bacon,A0001; this device is ."
By opening the updater-script located in, zip file/META-INF/com/google/android, I was able to find out that after 'this device is ' it is supposed to display my device name and then there should be a '.'
But instead it doesn't display anything, leading me to conclude that somehow my device has gotten erased. I was later able to install the ROM just by changing a line in the updater-script, which checks for device name as "bacon" or "A0001" and instead change one of those to " ". Now the problem is that I'm trying to install GApps and I am facing the same issue with update binary and I also think the ROM was installed incompletely (I could not turn on WiFi, although it could work after installing GApps). So please let me know if there is a way to rename my device to A0001 or bacon so I can flash files without facing these issues.
I have flashed a firmware update file without any error but it did not fix my problem. I would also like to point out that I am not using the latest TWRP. Last I updated TWRP was about 2-3 years ago. I have the latest TWRP's .img downloaded. Do I just flash this .img file from TWRP to update it? Or do I have to update it through my PC?
I know I'm asking 2 questions here, but my main priority is to restore my device name so I could flash files in the future. Thanks.
Nvm, I just had to update TWRP. U can flash TWRP within TWRP. Just go to install and change to Image on the bottom right-hand side. Select the TWRP image file and select "Recovery". After that just rebbot to Recovery, you will boot into your updated TWRP.

Welcome on xda! This is the right way. If you find a problem search the solution. If you can't find it ask for a solution. If you find the solution on your own, post it also here. Perhaps you can help other users with the same problem.
Not m many "Junior members"make their homework as good as you did those days.
Always remember, update your recovery when flashing new roms. Welcome to xda, it's great of you to post the solution to your problem as well!

Lifesaver Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am facing now the same problem on my xperia z3 compact. it shows me that my device is " " (blank) then the dot like it cannot read it. but if i read it through adb then it shows name as D5803 (so its still not z3c displayed but at least not blank name. however D5803 and z3c are the same).
I have tried 4 different versions of twrp for the same xperia z3 compact and still no luck
