[Q] Im really stuck - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was running factory 5.1 but decided to install cm-12 nightly. Every time I tried it failes no matter what I did. I ried installing cm-11 and that worked but no dice on latest nightly of cm-12. Im rooted unlocked BL and running TWRP 2.8.6.1 when I try to flash the cm12 zip i get this error: error executing updater binary in zip /sdcard download cm-12 2015404 nightly hammerhead zip. Any suggestions.

[Q] cant flash cm11 m10 on my phone

i was running cyanogenmod 11 m9 untill recently. then i switched to android l preview for some time. yesterday i flashed stock (kitkat 4.4.4) and rooted. now i tried to flash cyanogenmod 11 m10 and it gives an error: error executing update binary..
im using twrp help?
Have you tried using Clockworkmod recovery? It works fine for me -- I've never tried TWRP. I came from a stock N5, unrooted, 4.4.4, though I doubt being rooted would make a difference,
factory reset from TWRP> wipe data and cache > install cm11 .................if this works for u.......great otherwise try some more roms like carbon,pac,aosb etc.....................press thanks if this helps!!

"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

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.
