[Q] TWRP: error executing updater binary in zip - General Questions and Answers

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

Factory Unlock is NOT S-OFF, but it is a bootloader unlock. Please state which recovery you're using.

Which ROM are you trying to install? If you are installing any CM roms, flash the latest TWRP recovery and install the ROMs you wanted.
By the way, here is the latest TWRP by no_name : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298916890
