im using asus zenfone 5, and i want to update my android version from kitkat to lolipop, i already have the latest update before lolipop and yet after i transferred the lolipop zip file intto my internal memory and rebooted i still dont get the push notification for android update....is there something i did wrong?
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
There is more to it than downloading the update and putting it on internal storage. The update must be flashed and then your device will be updated. Usually, stock update.zips are flashed through stock recovery, have you tried this? Find out how to boot your device to recovery mode(volume up+power) or (volume up+home+power[if you have a hardware home button), when you get to recovery select the install update option. Youll have to find out if your zip file needs to be on internal sdcard or extsdcard. You'll have to flash it from where you have it stored when in recovery. I don't know the details of how your device is updated, all devices do it differently.

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.

Hi,
I downloaded nameless-4.4.4-20140710-p4wifi-NIGHTLY.zip, pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.4-20141025-signed.zip, twrp2710-wifi.zip.
Booted into TWRP recovery and did factory reset, and installed nameless-4.4.4-20140710-p4wifi-NIGHTLY.zip.
I got an error while installing pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.4-20141025-signed.zip with no sufficient memory and mentioned about installing micro version.
I decided to remove some of the data and ended up wiping internal data, which wiped all the above zip files too. . I know this is a BIG MISTAKE.
Now my tablet ended up with just TWRP recovery. My question now is , is there any way to download pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.4-20141025-signed.zip to my twrp recovery?. Please let me know.
If my post landed up in some incorrect project, Please suggest to post in right forum.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. You can't download files using a recovery, it just isn't that advanced. You'll need to download to your PC, connect your phone in recovery mode, and copy the zip across.
No response in two days, thread closed, thanks.
Hello,
First time writing on the forum so please tell me if I do something wrong
So problem is that I tried to flash the latest version of Paranoid Android on my Nexus 7 but I'm getting the error "Warning! No file-contexts" and the flashing gets stuck on the next phase which is "Patching system image unconditionally..."
My device is rooted and unlocked, and I use TWRP. Of course I wiped cache, dalvik, system and data before flashing the new ROM.
I thought that the problem was with the zip package, so I managed to download it again from my laptop and pushed the image with adb. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same message.
I even tried to install another ROM (Chroma) but it didn't work either, still getting stuck at patching system image. At this moment I wiped the whole internal storage, which worked with my previous problem on my Nexus 5.
Issue's still there.
What should I do now? I can't boot because no OS is installed. Should I try flashing the stock Android version? Or will I get the same message? My tablet is bricked, only thing I can do is booting in recovery.
Thank you very much for your help!
Kind regards,
Sebastian

Thanks ..
I might as well post this here -> -> How to: Root and repair data on the FRD-L04 - B320
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70266853&postcount=262
Will android pay stop working even if I use the official beta 7.0?
Thanks man, but is there any successful way to flash B324 so far?
Is Wi-Fi calling enabled in this beta?
Managed to do the same using Charles app (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...-to-nougat-t3510275/post69885525#post69885525) without any unlocking and flashing.
I have the FRD-L04B567 phone. I installed the TWRP for the Honor 8. I have installed a different ROM (CM13.1 ROM) successfully. I followed your instructions to the "T" in post #1 . The install of update.zip stopped at /cust with an error. I tried wiping and rebooting but am stuck in the "honor" bootup screen. Unable to force back into TWRP or fastboot or ADB at this time. Still picking up the pieces....
UPDATE: I forced phone into Huawei eRecovery screen and selected factory reset/wipe That got Nougat running but there is no keyboard and Google will only allow voice for any input. Since my wifi is encrypted, I cant give Nougat a password to get on the internet. I am creating a temporary unencrypted network to see if I can get further.
UPDATE: TWRP was wiped so I will reinstall. Then I will try update the regional update (second update mentioned)
UPDATE: Reflashed TWRP 3.0.2.0 for Honor 8, I can get into the bootloader but not recovery, eRecovery works but...(worthless). I cant flash the second update.zip because I cant get TWRP started. Obviously 3.0.2.0 is not compatible with Nougat, I may try 3.0.3.0? why not...
UPDATE - Flashing TWRP 3.0.3.0 was dumb. Now ADB sees the device (good) but I can not get to bootloader or recovery. TWRP flashes (displays) once a second and will not start (bad) . Hopefully someone can learn from my quest.
So, can someone help me proceed from a state where ADB sees the device? thanks Maybe extract update.zip?

Could help you recover, but he will be back only after 15th Jan.
Have you tried Huawei's hisuite? It has a recovery option..

Thanks for the reply, I finally got TWRP 3.0.2.0 for Honor 8 flashed (but now it won't work), I believe Nougat and TWRP aren't compatible. Huawei Hisuite said that phone was fine and recovery not necessary??? I disagree. I think I will have to wait for TWRP that is Nougat compatible with FRD-L04

If you want to get back to any working state, i recovered from 7.0 unbootable to vanilla 6.0 like so (for frd-l09, but probably still applies):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/honor-8-bricked-t3521813/post70326674#post70326674
// edit, also for completeness, i then flashed twrp 3.0.2 (official) and installed the cm 7.1.1 from the other thread here. All working fine.
fuflo,
thank you for your reply, it helped me get my Honor 8 back up and running.... I am now running CM 14.1 and Nougat 7.1.1 on my FRD-L04
Cheers

B320? I used these update files and mine says B317. Am I missing something?

Look again in the thread closely, you'll find another script to go to B320
Same problem as above, I could flash the update.zip, but not the USA package, maybe I didn't have the right TWRP version?
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
