[Q] Error flashing zip (lollipop) - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

sorry if this has already been answered but after downloading the lollipop update i am taken into recovery and when i try to flash the update file it instantly fails after saying
mount: failed to mount /dev/block....
E: error executing updater binary in zip
i am rooted obviously with s-on

I had the same issue. Flashed with nandroid backup using TWRP. Don't root if asked afterwards. Flashed correct recovery for that backup. Update and it should take.

[Q] need help flashing ROM

I have a new evo updated. Rooted with unrevoked and running sprint lovers (PC3IMG) I installed clockworkmod and tried to flash a rom and had problems. I thought that clockworkmod was my problem so I flashed back to my RU recovery. I then went into recovery and wiped data, dalvick, and cache. I then chose install zip from sdcard and then I selected the new Fresh ROM zip. I tried to install it and it goes all the way to Writing boot.img and I get an error that says
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:error in /sdcard/fresh-evo-3.5.0.1.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
So then I tried to install Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo and I get to copying files and I get this error:
E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/[
E:Failure at line 15:
symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/[
Installation aborted
I am stumped and dont know what to try next. Anyone know whats going on with these errors?
Just tried to install pc36img from sdcard and I get this after it says installing update:
E:Can't find update script
Installation aborted.
I think that this will only work if I flash it at Hboot and select yes for the update? Either way, I would rather have Fresh as my ROM because I used it on my Hero and I loved it. Any help?
After reading other posts, many say it has to do with the HBOOT size not having enough space??? Its not seeing the boot.img correctly. I have no idea. Anyone have any ideas?

Help with Backup in Clockwork Recovery

Just reflashed stock 4.0.2 on my GN, but when I tried backup in Clockworkmod recovery 5.5.0.0 I keep getting an error message:
E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-03.0.0.51.01]
Can't mount backup path.
E:unknown volume path [/sdcard]
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
I have some zip file in the root but I can't access them either. Please help, I had ARHD 2.1.2 rom but was having issue with my camera app freezing on me, so I went back to stock but now I can't backup or see the zip files on the phone.
Thanks
Got it, was flashing the wrong file. Needed 5.5.02.

[Q] Stuck in Recovery, can't flash ROMs

Decided to resurrect my old Verizon GNex, and found that it will only boot to TWRP recovery. Was able to successfully sideload a ROM zip, but attempt to flash produces the following result (copied from phone screen, site won't let me link screenshot):
Formatting /system
Extracting /system
Symlinking
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/sideload.zip'
Updating partition details...
Failed
Any ideas on how to proceed?
First copy ROM on sdcard, then wipe all except sdcard, and then try.

error executing updater binary

trying to flash a cyanogenmod rom onto my rooted phone with TWRP.
Everything okay up to the point on installing the new rom (a zip file).
here's what i get as an error message:
***********
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/<rom_name_here>.zip'
error flashing zip
updating parition details...
...done
****************
I've tried with all the recent cyanogenmod builds for the htcone m9 and I get the same error everytime. Even when i try to sideload from my computer in adb.
I've also seen this error in other forums and they have suggested doing certain wiping procedures and reboots, but I've tried them all and I've gotten nowhere.
any ideas?

Fatal Error - Cant flash roms

Hello,
I was getting an error after flashing exposed framework that would not let me use my device at all. Something along the lines of com.android.something has stopped/crashed/shutdown and stopped the phone from working and prompted to send report to HTC.
I am on an unlocked htc 10 s-on w/ unlocked bootloader FYI. While flashing a new rom in twrp I'm getting 'zip file is corrupt!' or 'Invalid zip file format!' I have flashed this particular rom before. Happens with viper, profusion, stock deodex, elementalx, and so on.
log when flashing a rom:
Updating partition details...
...done
Full SElinux support is present.
MTP EnabledInstalling zip file '/sdcard/HTC10_DEV.zip'
Checking for MD5 file
Zip file is corrupt!
or
Invalid zip file format!
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/HTC10_DEV.zip'

...done
If you have any idea how to solve this please, then you can roast me after. I've been bricked for nearly 2 weeks. I seriously need help here

Please see my most recent thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/unable-to-mount-repair-wipe-micro-ext-t3716101
I repaired the /system partition. Now I am able to mount everything but 'Micro SDCard' + 'usb_otg' partitions, and cannot repair anything but cache. Still unable to flash rom. Error - 'Zip file is corrupted'

So you created a thread to point to your recent created thread. Seriously ...... read the forum rules again. This one will be reported to be closed, 1 thread on a subject is enough.
This was a thread I made previously. I didn't make it just to point at my other post.

Hello,
e:I got /system to mount after repair.
I am on an unlocked htc 10 s-on w/ unlocked bootloader FYI. After wiping all of my data(I know) while flashing a new rom in twrp I'm unable to do anything to 'MicroSDCard' or 'usb _otg' partitions and am getting 'zip file corrupted' when flashing any files/roms. Initially I was not able to mount /system either, but I was able to repair+mount it. This is the log now when flashing a rom:
Installing zip file '/sdcard/HTC10_DEV.zip'
Checking for MD5 file
Zip file is corrupt!
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/HTC10_DEV.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done
I tried to wipe, repair, and change file system for microsd + usb_otg - some of the logs:
mkfs.fat process ended with ERROR: 1
Unable to wipe usb_otg.
Unable to wipe /usb_otg
mkfs.fat process ended with ERROR: 1
Unable to wipe microsdcard.
Unable to wipe /external_sd
/sbin/fsck.fat -y process ending with ERROR: 2
Unable to repair Micro SDCard
Unable to repair usb_otg.
Error Changing File System
If you have any idea how to solve this please, then you can roast me after. I've been bricked for a few days. I seriously need help here

Can you provide a link to the HTC10_DEV.zip you tried to flash?

Its not the rom - it does this for all of them, I have already flashed these roms previously. viper, profusion, even stock rom. I think it has to sd card but I'm not positive. tysm for responding.... really
So I failed to mention the reason I was re-flashing my rom. I was getting an error after flashing exposed framework that would not let me use apps at all. com.android.something has stopped/crashed/shutdown and stopped the phone from working and prompted to send report to HTC. I didn't think much of it because I was still able to boot. But I don't think wiping 'data' partition is harmful and I'm thinking this has to be it.
