"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

TWRP says "Patching system image unconditionally" for CM 14.1 nightly on XT1033

TWRP says "Patching system image unconditionally" for CM 14.1 nightly on XT1033
Hey I have a question please help me.....
I have an old Moto G (1st Gen Indian Retail Unit) XT1033. I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp recovery. When flashing the CM 14.1 nightly it is stuck at "Patching system image unconditionally" for about an hour now. What might be the problem? I've searched a lot in xda forums but of no luck. :crying: Can anyone guide me through this?
Thanks in advance.

* When you boot into recovery, TWRP asks for write permissions? If it does, allow modifications and try to flash again.
* Also you can try to download the ZIP file again, maybe the download went bad or corrupted.
* When this happened to me I made a *very clean install*. This means, that before flashing the zip file you wipe all the partitions (cache, dalvik, system, data, internal storage). Then reboot to recovery again, copy the zipfile and the google apps from the PC over USB, then flashed both zip files and then rebooted without problems.
The problem that you describe also happened to a friend's phone but unfortunately for him, it was a faulty phone (internal storage was starting to degrade, eventually it stopped working).

Thanks. I am going to bed right now and try to do something tomorrow morning. Also, is root access mandatory for flashing custom ROM? I am currently in stock 5.1 ROM if that matters.
P.S. I was thinking that may be it could work if I go from 5.1 to 6.0 on the CM 13 and then go to CM 14.1. Would that make any difference than going directly to CM 14.1 from stock ROM running on 5.1?

Help Guys!! I can't get it to work! And also my twrp is not asking for any permissions.
My Bootloader is version 41.1A if that matters anything.

UPDATE: I flashed the CM 13 Snapshot and it worked. I am now going to try updating from CM 13 to CM 14.1
One doubt, I currently have no GApps flashed. Can I go ahead and update to CM 14.1 and then download and flash GApps for CM 14.1? Or should I flash GApps for both CM 13 and CM 14.1 separately?

Solved!! After installing CM 13.0 I was able to install CM 14.1 successfully. Sorry for the late post.

Stuck at patching system image unconditionally.

I was running RR rom on my device then i wanted to change to aosp today but while flashing it got stuck at patching system image unconditionally for like an hour so i flashed the stock COS13 via fastboot.
I can flash MM based roms but no Nougat based roms (
EDIT:
I managed to fix my issue. i went back and flashed twrp 2.8.7.0 recovery and then flashed the latest firmware image. that seems to have fixed my issue. successfully flashed jgcaap's cm14.1 rom now <3

What recovery version are you using?

Re-download the zip rom and flash it again...

Need uregent help!!! Miui 8 , bootloop !!!!! How to install custom rom with miui 8

I wanted to install cutom rom in my Mi4i working on MIUI 8, so I installed TWRP from toolkit , which also installed SuperSU.But I don't know if my bootloader was unlocked or not?
I saw in a youtube video to flash MIUI 6 first to install Custom rom or you might endup in BOOTLOOP.
In TWRP I wiped Dalvik,Data,Cache,System.
Went to INSTALL, tried installing MIUI6 but that package failed to install. Giving error unable to mount.
I tried custom rom crDroid and it installed but when I restarted I WAS STUCK IN BOOTLOOP.
After a heartattack I finally flashed MIUI8 with MiFLASHER using fastboot image of MIUI 8.
SO, I want to ask IS THERE A WAY TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM ,IF I AM ON MIUI 8????
And that bootloop was caused beacuse I didn't unlock bootloader when I installed crDroid???
Thanx in advance. Please somebody help???

I would suggest you to install Resurrection Remix as it is based on miui8 firmware.
You were stuck in bootloop because crDroid was based on miui6 firmware and probably your installation of the same was failed ( Like you're saying )
Since you get "Heart Attack", Prefer clean install.
Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache.
Flash Rom, gapps,
Reboot to system.
Note:- To install custom ROMs based on miui6 firmware, first of all, flash the provided firmware in the thread instead of flashing the whole miui6.
Ask further if it doesn't work.
Hit thanks if helped.
