So i recently got a g2 from tmobile store. I went ahead and updated to lollipop, rooted and installed newest twrp via autorec. This is my first LG device but i figured out yhe different bootstacks to go along with certain roms. I am able to install roms, back them up and restore just fine with full knowledge of proper methods ( wiping and such) except cyanogenmod. Ive tried cm10,11, and 12. Every try i get an error similar to Error "executing update binary in zip failed". I dont know what im doing wrong. I tried going back to an older twrp but couldn't get it to install either. Help

Now that the new Lollipop update came out, I want to install it on my rooted stock Android Nexus 5. I have tried Wiping data from CW Recovery, and then installing the image-hammerhead-lrx22c.zip . After finishing the install and check the settings, I get 5.0 as the version of Android on the phone.
That zip is meant to be used with fastboot. Not recoveries. Please read stuff before trying if you don't know what you're doing.
Hi all as title states my moto g is downloading the new 5.0 update but during install it says error and switches phone back on with no changes made. It was rooted and custom firmware was installed. Since then uts back to fully unrooted, stock recovery is reinstalled and bootloader is still unlocked. However still it errors a quarter into installing.
So i have come to the assumption that it is best for me to revert/ reinstall the stock 4.4.4 rom back on and try updating after that. However seen loads of complicated methods on how to reinstall the stock firmware onto my phone so want the easiest way if possible.
In attatchments is the info from the current stock rom that is on the phone (will state a custom rom has never been installed to the phone always been stock) and i have downloaded the following to put onto it:
XT1032_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
Ive tried using the mototools v3.1 and does abserlitly nothing non of the commants work or do anything with my phone.
So which is the easiest method?
Many Thanks
major problems!!!!!
Stock recovery installed to phone. Started update it was installing and got to 3/4 of the way through, errored, restarted and not goes in a loop saying no command!
Phone will not switch on!!!
Why has this happened?
If fastboot is too convoluted - using a custom recovery, flash one of these zips:

What update were you installing when it errored?
Hi,
I wonder if anyone could offer me a little assistance please ? I have a UK Tesco Moto G 16GB (2013) that I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted and CWM recovery installed. Currently, it's running 4.4.4 Kitkat. I gave up with the OTA update as I was getting the 'preflash validation failed' message. More recently, I have tried following the guide on here to flash the XT1032_GPE_5.1_Optimized_v1.1.zip file using CWM. However, this resulted in what I believe is termed a bootloop - i.e. the coloured dots animation just never stopped - I waited half an hour and it was still going.
I've managed to restore it back to my previous 4.4.4 for the moment, but I would like to move to Lollipop at some point - if I could !
Could someone suggest a method I could try please ?
Many thanks !
Kev.
Hi there.
Well, my device is a XT1032 Retail US but I may have been through the problems you're facing right now.
Here we go:
Go full stock (don't know if you revocer from a backup or already did this but in any case you'd know what to do: This guide helped me a lot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219.
Do not install any official update using a custom recovery
Make sure you got the actual latest recovery version. If you went stock from the latest firmware you should have already got it.
If you have your OTA, Install it manually from the stock recovery
This method should work. It is the one I followed.
I got two errors: 1st was because was using custom recovery.
2nd was because my rom was stock but had deleted system apps, so the install failed always at some point.
Once I flashed the latest stock firmware including the stock recovery, I was able to install my OTA update.
Let me know if this works.
Hi, my friends dad purchased a galaxy s5 (scl23 - sm900j, running 4.4.2 )from some website and its performance has been atrocious. Me and my friend have attempted to install a custom rom but have ran into issues. At first we tried to flash twrp through odin but that failed so then we tried to install twrp through twrp manager (we gained root through towel root). The main problem happened when he rebooted into the bootloader/recovery screen where he got the "could not do normal boot" message. Google says that to resolve this you flash the stock rom, so we tried googling for that but not even sammobile has the 900j stock rom. Does anyone any way to fix the problem/ what/where the 900j rom is?
edit: i think i might have found it, using SCL23 brings up results even though 900J doesnt.
follow up question: say we are able to boot back to stock rom, are there any tailored guides for the 900J on how to flash?
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!
