What are my options? I have the latest version of TWRP. I have tried flashing multiple roms but I always get the "Error executing updater binary in zip" message.

You are old partition. You can only flash ROMs built for that. Also, you are S-on, so if the ROM you're trying to flash is not sense based with a kernel installer, you will have to extract the boot img and flash via fastboot or flash img GUI or flashify. Otherwise, relock your bootloader, run the .4 RUU and reobtain root and reinstall custom recovery and get S-off to flash new partition ROMs.
Edit:
Consider getting S-off first. Makes life easier.

Yea, I was going to try getting S-off first. I just don't know how that would go without an OS. I also extracted the boot img, and it still didn't work. Where would I find the RUU? Is it that shipped-roms website?

Just download the .4 RUU to a (preferably Windows 7) PC and make sure you have all updated drivers installed (may require latest HTC sync manager). Connect your phone via USB and double click the exe file and follow onscreen instructions. Some more info here:

[Q] Which Roms can I flash

I am confused as to which roms I am able to flash. I am Unlocked, s-on, with twrp. I have read a bunch of threads and think I understand what s-on means but not sure as to which roms I can flash. Some of the roms say that you can flash them but a lot don't mention it at all. I would like to flash a non sense rom like cm 10 but I get stuck in the cm 10 loading screen. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks
You can flash any rom you want. You can now get s-off too. Go to unlimited.io and use the dirtyracun method. If you don't want to do that you will need to flash the kernel separately.

I have a 64 bit running windows 7 and not familiar with running it from a disc. So I guess I'll flash the kernel separate.
So flash the rom then flash the kernel?

I'm not exactly sure, I've never had to do it. I think you need to extract the boot.img and the flash the rom then fastboot flash the boot.img.
In case anyone is wondering I got it to flash and boot up by flashing the ROM then right after that I flashed an s on kernel that was compatible with the ROM I flashed.
Thanks for the help in leading me in the right direction.

Couple issues

Hey people. I'm having a hard time flashing roms on my 4GLTE. Ill wipe, factory reset and wipe the cache but when I install the Rom it doesn't do anything. I've only been able to flash 2 roms the stock with goodies rom and the viper rom. And ideas on what's going on or help? Thanks
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Follow the tutorials under General and start with posting details such as current specs, SON, SOFF, Hboot etc., then which ROMs you have tried and steps you have done to attempt installing them.
The more details you give the more XDA can help.
Please give us some more information. Are you s-off? Are you on the most recent firmware? Have you updated your touch panel driver? What do you mean by "nothing happens"? Are you getting boot loops or is the phone not booting at all or is the touch panel unresponsive?

Sorry I'm on S-On I do have the latest hboot. I've pretty much tried every updated Rom in the forum. It will either 1, stay on the HTC screen, 2 it will boot loop or 3 ill just have a black screen where ill have to restart back into recovery and go back to my previous backup. I have the Viper Rom right now. I can try to attach a screen shot of the roms I've downloaded and all of them gave me 1 of those 3 problems except viper and the stock with goodies Rom

Being that you are s-on you have to flash the kernel/boot.img first use flash image gui from the playstore or fastboot flash the kernel.
I suggest getting s-off it will save you so many headaches

Some ROMs (like Viper and MeanBean) include a kernel installer for S-on. For those that don't you'll need to follow bigdaddy's advice above.

Do you know how to get a recovery log? Depending on your recovery you should find an option to copy recovery log to sdcard. Normally it is under developer options or extra.
Boot into recovery flash a sense gingerbread ROM (meanrom 4.5 would be a good choice) after flashing copy log to sdcard. If you are using 4ext (recomended) the log will be in the 4ext folder cwm and twrp put them in the root directory. Once you have a log attach it to your post.
Also if you are using 4ext make sure you use the s-on smart flash option.

Did you try flashing a ROM before copying the log? It does not show any ROM install and I can't help much without it.

I just tried flashing with several different roms and copied a fresh log
Okay looked over the log. None of the files you tried flashing will work that way. The pg86img is a to be flashed in the bootloader same with the twrp.zip. Your superwipes are not designed for this phone one is for the amaze the other is for the jewel aka evo LTE. Flashing those could brick your phone!!
Now on another note your firmware is too old to run ics/jb aosp roms and sense ics roms most sense ics roms need hboot 1.58.
Try this... download meanrom 4.5 and enable smart flash. Then install the ROM and report back.

You can. I would only suggest upgrading your firmware. Stick with the hboot you have. I will give you a link to the firmware in a bit. With updated firmware you can run ics/jb aosp roms such as cm10.1 or pacman.
