Trying to install CM yields the error "Error executing updater binary in zip"

Hi! So I was a long-time android user, however, I had loaned my G2 AT&T out to a friend of mine while I was using an iPhone due to service issues. I recently got it back and would like to break back into the scene but after a couple years I'm a little nooby. I updated my TWRP but when trying to flash CM 12.1 I receive an error. In red it says:

E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1KI-d800.zip'

I was able to get in what appears to be a broken PA installation, which fortunately includes file system exploration and messaging. Accessing the phone from the computer is no problem either. Any idea what the issue here may be? I've tried a couple of different things but haven't been able to get an actual complete install in.

I appreciate your guy's help! I tried scouring google but all I found appeared to be quick fixes for specific phones, barring one post who suggested flashing a file with a mysterious origin :confused: I didn't want to play around with that haha!

Cheers
[AT&T LG G2] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
Most likely a corrupt file. Try redownloading the ROM and get back to me.

That or it doesn't support your specific model of the G2. And there's nightly's for your device in the CM 13 branch that I'd check out

Hey! I tried that twice and each time it resulted in the same error :(
[AT&T LG G2] Totalrapture:
I had seen the 13 nightlies but I was worried about some people having reported no gps functionality so I thought I'd go with the more stable build... I'd MUCH rather have marshmallow if it's totally working and all of that though. Mostly I just want a complete OS though :crying:

Hello Every one ,

I am new to rooting but i want to root my Samsung Note 3 SM-N9005 if you could please answer some or all of my questions.

1- Is there a way to root the mobile without tripping Knox ? Version 5.0 or a later one

2- What will i gain from a custom ROM that root won't do ?

3- I read online that if i change the ROM to Cyanogenmod or any other custom ROM i lose the stylus pen functionality ?

4- What would i lose if i root besides warranty ?

5- What is custom recovery ?

Thanks for your time and efforts spent answering my questions .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0079:
New or not, you should really put some more effort into it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkdevil5:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0079:
Helping and spoon feeding. See the difference ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grwalker:
We all had to start somewhere

1- Is there a way to root the mobile without tripping Knox ? Version 5.0 or a later one

Not really. There are some rooting products out there that claim to not trip Knox, but all i have read said to stay away from them. Tripping Knox is not a big deal

2- What will i gain from a custom ROM that root won't do ?

Custom ROMs are made by people who want a better ROM. They add lots of features that stock ROMS dont have

Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iBqrTDawM4 for example

3- I read online that if i change the ROM to Cyanogenmod or any other custom ROM i lose the stylus pen functionality ?

That does depend on the ROM

4- What would i lose if i root besides warranty ?

Nothing

5- What is custom recovery ?

A third party recovery. It replaces the stock recovery that you get to when you press Vol Up, Home and Power

http://www.howtogeek.com/193055/what-is-a-custom-recovery-on-android-and-why-would-i-want-one/

Enjoy the adventure you're about to get into
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapidslash:
knox doesnt make it brick, as far as i know, and fhe benefits offsets the tripping. so its worth it.

custom roms gives way better customization than rooting itself, you can flash a htc rom, xperia based rom, or just a based android rom. oh it gets even better when the manufacturer decided to halt any new updates. (note 3 seems to be stopping at lollipop)

it depends, but try to stay in touch wiz based roms as this is a 90% hit on spen functionality

nothing else, unless you sort of f*cked up on the instructions and brick your device, well you my friend may have a expensive paperweight

Thanks for your Help :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
OP begs the question why do you want to root when you don't know what root is for ??or does .

Root does nothing more than unlock access to the system .It neither adds not takes away anything .

OP should start reading the faqs and guides before bricking the phone .

Well thx for your response! [emoji14]

im currently on fulmics 2.7 with xceed and its feeling really smooth. There is not a real reason for me to upgrad but i feel a bit outdated if i stay on lp. I know its stupid.

Im not using the camera for high quality shots at all but i also dont want to loose some of the quality. Is there any chance that lg will update the camera problem?

and about the knock code: i think there is no way for the devs to disable the "6knocks3areas" rule? i love the knock code on lp and dont want to miss it :(

I think I will wait and see if LG can fix this problems or maybe a dev can :)

Heres my problem with your opinion. Which it is an opinion. As with most reviews people give on xda, people here already have a high expectation based on their technical experience or lack there of. Ive found that if i compare peoples reviews from xda to other sites or real world, youll find a really wide spread. Im not saying youre wrong but you project opinion off as fact. Even reading this reply to people you attack anyone disagreeing by saying they are sheep or arrogant. Ever heard of variance. Sure every device comea off the line "identical" but errors happen. If you have a defective phone to begin with a software update may not fix it. Its why you get people on so many places on a line. Ive been with android since the beginning and these kind of responses have always happened. Ive seen peolle post and say that "everyone " is having the issue and they should either not buy the device or not update. Xda is not representative at all of any real user base for a specific device. For anyone looking for whether or not to install something or update. Id say take everything with a grain of salt and read many reviews. In the end its hpw you see the device.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basic086:
Don't know what you're complaining about, ever since v30b was released, it completely changed my G3. The interface lags in Lollipop are gone, there was a 2sec stutter everytime I wanted to do something under 5.0. App switching is instant and the whole interface is running at 60Fps. In lollipop even the slide down menu was laggy as hell. I like the G4 UX and battery sleep time is actually a bit better than Lollipop. I'm extremely happy that LG kept updating the G3 and fixed a lot of problems, I will not update my phone this year. And I agree with [MENTION=4504139]monkeypaws[/MENTION], a lot of people here praise stock based custom roms and kernels. The truth no one wants to hear on this forum is this : Stock based custom roms are 100% useless. You can do the debloating using Root Browser, you can install third party apps like App Ops or Kernel Auditor yourself. Custom Roms are not magic, a lot of people talk about how BUTTER SMOOTH this and SLEEP LIKE A BABY that and so on. Wake up, it's not any different than stock rom. So are custom kernels bumped to Linux 3.4.111 sources. Most of them are horrible in terms of battery saving because of 'Overclocking'. Apart from frying your already hot as a potato G3 on light use, you'll do nothing interesting to it.

The only noteworthy content in XDA are Cyanogenmods, AOSP, and the ports like on the Samsung scene, where the S6 edge features ported to the S5, or 5.1.1 ported to the S5 that was officially supported up to 5.0.2 only a few months back. There's actual work done, not some twelvie on Archikitchen feeling like a developer :)

Hello everyone. I want to share with you my experience with Lg G3 2 gb version with stock android 6.0 mm. I have installed android mm on my device since 2 january. After one month of use i can say that updating to mm, for me ,was a very bad idea. I don't know how it is on other lg g3's but mine it got worse after the update. The camera is much worse than lp, memory management is just awful...multitasking became ussels...almost impossible, the phone is laggy and it stutter very bad. In my case lollipop was so much better than android mm. Only pros for the mm are the battery life and better looking UI. (sorry for my english, it's not my main language)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomogitarist:
I find Marshmallow much better than Lollipop in the other hand.

Lollipop had bad battery life, performance was very inconsistent (sometimes it was fine, often I would get 10 second white screen hanging while launching apps like facebook, youtube, etc. ). But two worst things about Lollipop were often force closes of LG's launcher and invisible apps in Recents window. And all that was happening even though it was heavily tweaked to reduce the lag and preserve battery life. Quickcircle wasnt usable and practical at all (if you use it ofc).

Marshmallow has much better UI (all Lollipop UI bugs are fixed), performance is great and it's also CONSISTENT, just like battery life. I feel the camera is the same (IF YOU WANT TRUE CAMERA BUY A DSLR). Memory management is the same (it was good on Lollipop already). Quickcircle finally makes sense and it's practical.

If using stock roms, Lollipop is very unusable and need heavy tweaking until it's tolerable. Even then, Marshmallow is much more consistent and more responsive than heavily tweaked Lollipop and there are no random force closes.

If you are rooted, backup your existing Lollipop ROM, try out Fulmics MM ROM. If you dont like it, you can easily restore you LP ROM.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrainlessDude:
After all this different opinions i think i will wait for the global release. Fulmics 3.1 Rom seems to be good but maybe LG will fix some of their fails like knock code. LP is running pretty good for me so theres no real reason to upgrade :)

But thanks anyways!

After further research it appears that the device uses qualcomm 601 chip which is msm8939. Unfortunately there does not seem to be anything in the omni repos matching so would one of these be safe
