Help updating XT1032 to official motorola 5.0.2 (custom recovery) - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just finished flashing the stock motorola 4.4.4 EU rom and updating it after using CM 12 and having it become very unstable on my device due to the recent nightlies. I downloaded the official ota update to 5.0.2 the system reboots into TWRP (Version 2.8.5.0) and displays:
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/cache/Blur_Version.210.12.40.falcon_umts. EURetail.en.EU.zip;
E: Error installing zip file '/cache/Blur_Version.210.12.40.falcon_umts.EURetail.en.EU.zip'
As soon as i select reboot into system, the boot loads fine and stays on for a while, but then automatically restarts to attempt the install again. Im assuming this error is because I'm running a custom recovery, but any help would be great! I know exactly where the zip is on my phone storage too, so would it be a matter of installing manual (however when I checked it displayed a message saying it could be incompatible and render my device unstable, and I really dont want to have to reinstall the rom again.
Also I have not updated to a custom boot loader, its running the kitkat boot loader from motorola.
Thanks in advance

Problem with TWRP

Hi i got a Problem with TWRP. I just installed 2.5.0.0 now I know its not updated. I get a error message everytime want to install the new CM: error executing updater binary in zip twrp.
Now I cant install any rom and i wiped my device already any ideas?
start from the beginning
you are going to need to flash the asus stock rom over top , Root it then flash the TWRP from the OP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691886
and then flash CM 11.

cannot install CM12

My system is now KK 4.4.2 with unlocked bootloader
I download CM12 (nightly) from download.cyanogenmod.com - XT925 KK bootloader
I intended to install CM12.zip via Phil Touch recovery but it failed and this message appeared:
This package is for device: xt925, vanquish_u; this device is .
E: Error in /storage/sdcard1/....CM12.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Then I used TWRP recovery instead of CWM.
The installation was successful, but in a short time (faster than installing gapps)
I made the phone rebooted.
When the system was on, it showed an error dialogue and self-rebooted to boot animation graphics immediately. Then, it became an endless loop
I had to reflash stock KK system via RSD
What happenned to my XT925????
Try flashing CM11, factory reset, then CM12 nightly dirty flash. That way I got it to work. You need to remove the first line "assert..." in a file inside the zip to make it work with philz. Normal install or update of CM12 nightly works only with current cyanogen recovery for me.
The problem is the gapps file
I've only installed the CM rom via TWRP and the system is now running without gapps
Yes you need gapps for 5.1, best from the CM wiki

Firstly, I would like to point out that your phone is merely soft-bricked. Hard bricks are much more serious and happen when your phone does not turn on at all. So, in future, please do not complain about a hard brick where there is none.
Onto the actual issue, it appears to be an easy fix. The problem was simply that you were attempting to sideload an OTA update, as opposed to flashing full firmware, which will not work. So all you need to do is flash the full factory firmware using fastboot flash, not adb sideload. To do this, flash factory firmware from here using the fastboot commands linked on that thread.

Updating rooted Lollipop device to Marshmallow/installing TWRP

Hi,
I have a rooted Nexus 5 running a modified AOSP 5.1.1 and CWM Recovery. I wish to update it to the official 6.0.1. I got an update notification and went ahead and downloaded/installed the update, but after the download and upon reboot, CWM recovery informed me that the zip is invalid (signature verification failed or something), and the update was aborted, so the device is still stuck at 5.1.1, and subsequent system updates checks after reboot shows that the device is up to date.
I also wish to change my recovery to TWRP instead since ultimately I want to run Chainfire's suhide.
What do I need to do to go from my current environment (CWM Recovery with modified AOSP 5.1.1) to the new one (TWRP with official 6.0.1 with SuperSU/suhide)?
Download and and flash the official Google ROM using fastboot commands, set up the ROM, run all OTA updates, flash TWRP via fastboot.

Soft bricked after installing kernel

I'm having some trouble guys. I got stuck in a bootloop when trying to install https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-elementalx-op6-1-00-t3799054 this kernel, so I booted into TWRP and tried to flash the stock rom to fix it. However, it won't work and keeps giving me the error " Updater process failer with ERROR: 255 Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_009_all_1805172226_f7d1518e0 e704ca3.zip' ". How can I fix this? I read something about sideloading the OTA update, but it says it won't work if I'm rooted, which I am.
In you do not mind s fresh start lock your boot loder
Do NOT reboot then unlock your boot loader.
This will rest your phone back to stock.
You may have to sideload stock boot.img (maybe)
Hope this helps.
You can't flash OOS through recovery. Also since kernel only affects the boot partition, just flash stock boot and it should work.
