I'm new to flashing custom roms and stuff.
I was using MIUI 12.0.x global after which I did the following things:
unlocked bootloader officially by waiting 7 days
installed twrp recovery successfully
flashed disable dm_verify_encrypt zip successfully
but when I tried to flash evolution x custom rom, it says: invalid zip file format and install failed
Then, i installed orangefox recovery via twrp but I got the same error
It's not that my custom rom zip file is corrupt or the file is responsible for the issue because i tried to flash unofficial version (5.9 immortak xda) too and i was getting the same invalid zip file format error.
Please somebody help . Thankyou

So last night I went about installing a new custom ROM on my HTC One S, proceeded to unlock via the official app, and completed that step.
Upon attempting to install the custom ROM (that I got from the official CM site, the ROM being CM12, made sure it's for my device), I also deleted the backup I made of the system and now I am stuck with a bricked phone.
The problem is : I have a ROM and a custom recovery, BUT whenever I try to install the ROM, I keep getting this error message
E:Error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip
The phone has been flashed before to android 4.4 with HTC Sense 6, if that information helps.
As I said, the custom ROM is from the official site, stable version, and the phone is bootloader unlocked.
Solution
Solved, had to install a ROM that complied to the HBOOT version (i.e. 2.16.0)
Please help me to fix this while im installing new rom
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
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.
i am using Redmi 4x and used twrp package installer to install twrp and thus installed twrp 3.0.3-0(cofface).Now i am trying to install pixel experience and forgot to have a backup . I wiped all data and system and now when i am flashing the new rom i am getting Error 7 and No MD5 file found.So what should i do ? i tried flashing newer version of twrp and was succesful but i am not rebooting the device as i am fearing to get it in bootloop . Need Help Fast as the phone is my primary device.

Error status 7 occurs when what you are trying to flash is not built for your specific model number or if you're trying to flash a custom ROM via stock recovery or if you're trying to flash a stock update.zip via custom recovery.
It has to be for your specific model number
Are you certain that you successfully flashed TWRP and are you certain that you're booted into TWRP instead of stock recovery?

Yes , i successfully flashed twrp and i also booted into it . But it was a older version 3.3-0 (cofface) and was unofficial and was installed via a twrp installer package . And i rom i was trying to flash was also correct . I also tried it with Lineage OS and it was the same .Then downloaded the Miui stable rom and flashed it and was successful . But before booting it said "No OS installed" , so i tried having a backup and when i did my device got Bricked .
Look I was on stock miui 12.0.2.0 , my device is whyred.
And I was trying to flash a miui Rog port rom so I installed the custom recovery and format the data from advance wipe menu, and then I flashed the rom but it shows "error 7" .....and you know what happened then....

Error 7 usually means the ROM is not intended for your specific model number or there is an error with updater script in the ROM zip.
[FIX][SOLVED]Status 7 Error with CWM or TWRP Recovery on Rooted Android!
When installing certain custom ROMs on rooted Android smartphones or tablets, you will encounter “Status 7″ error issues once in awhile with ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery. Status 7 error is caused while the ROM’s updater script file checks to see...
