Stuck in TWRP after OTA update (E: error executing updater binary in zip) - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I know, I fell in a noob trap doing this and I already hate myself for it : I tried to OTA update my rooted Honor 7 and the device remained stuck in TWRP after reboot.
Log showed the following message in red : "E: error executing updater binary in zip"
I proceeded to a wipe and managed to start the system. This allowed me to unroot my phone, thinking I would then be able to update from a clean basis.
Unfortunately, the same error occurred and I am now stuck in TWRP again...
I would be grateful if anyone could provide me some leads to get out of my noob trap...
Thank you very much !
Edit : I finally understood how i managed to start system (I deleted the update.zip file and wiped again). Still, now how can I update to the latest version without getting stuck again in TWRP ? Thank you !

You have to flash stock recovery before update and unroot of course.

Thank you for your answer ! I found the image of the stock recovery but I can only find instructions for windows and I run on mac... Do you happen to know how can I get to flash the recovery image using terminal ?
Thank you again !

Update Nexus 5

Hello,
I Have a Nexus 5 with root, stock rom, Franco Kernel and the custom recovery is TWRP. I accomplished this by following a guide around this forum, I know very little about Android. The Android version i'm running is the 4.4.2 and the phone keeps asking me to update do the newer version, however, when I try to do it, it takes me to the TWRP menu, and when I try to install it there, I get this error:
"/system/bin/thermal-engine-hh" has unexpected contents
E: Error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip
How can I update the phone to the newer version of android? Can anyone help me? Thanks.

That is the faulty zip, or the zip is not meant for your device! Maybbe, you should post this in Nexus 5 forum!

[Q] Bricked ridge 4G

Hello, I bricked my wiko ridge 4G (snapdragon 410).
I can only start in the stock recovery with the option "apply update from sdcard".
I have a full backup of my rom I have done just prior to booting on a cwm.
How can I do to create update.zip me to restore my boot.img or even be able to boot me in the cwm?
Note that I have no ADB and fastboot otherwise I would have already been able to access back on my backup.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I've had the same problem with my Wiko. I rooted it with King root application and after installing the software update v40 it complained about debuggerd file. I also tried to upgrade the phone with the PC upgrade program but once it reached 35% the process finishe with "download failed". Then, I manage to get debuggerd file from the upgrade PC version and substitute it by the new one. The installation started but just at the end of it complained about a "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" and the installation finished. Once the mobile was rebooted it was always looping in the Wiko Logo. I cannot put the mobile into fastboot mode neither factory, just recovery. I'm really desperate. I read something about editing the update.zip file with the OTA firmware and change the method set_metadata_recursive by set_perm_recursive but once I change that the update.zip file is damaged and the Wiko signature is lost (I signed it with android signature but it's not the same. I also tried to upload a new recovery from sdcard (the only thing I can do now) but it also complains about wrong footer and signature validation.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Need Help! Alcatel OneTouch Pop Up (6044D) bootloop

Hi, I need help with my phone, I accidentally changed the permissions (using ROM Toolbox Lite) from the system folder making the phone crash shortly after. Now it shows the Alcatel logo and shuts off and back on in recovery mode.
I'm new with adb and CWM/TWRP stuff, but I can't find the device using adb (I installed the usb drivers correctly) , it only finds on sideload and even then I get "error: closed"...and with CWM/TWRP I can't use sideload because:
"You need adb 1.0.32 or newer to sideload to this devices" (and I used 1.0.36)
And with zip file (CWM) method I get:
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
Please help, I can't find the stock rom for this phone

Hi, My 6044d also in boot loop, not rooted so I can't get stock boot.img or recovery.img in order to compile CWM and CM from source for this particular phone. Please someone post it and of course, when compiled I'll post back de results for all of us that need a custom ROM for this phone. It's crazy that this phone is not so popular and the common custom roms don't have one for it out of the box, that's why I decided to compile it myself, but I can't get my boot.img or recovery.img to configure build environment for this especific phone.
Thanks in advance!

Huawei mate 10 pro wont boot at all. Please help.!!

Hello,
I was wondering if some could help me please. I wanted to flash RR Rom 6.0 on my BLA-L09(I think that what's it is) phone.
I was able to unlock my boot loader, and flash TWRP my device but my dumb s*** flashed TWRP to my file system use FLASH SYSTEM instead of FLASH RECOVERY. Now, I can't fix it ?. I know I can use sideload so I'm not panicking just yet however I know I messed up the file system.
Could someone tell me what file system system I should be using (fat, exfat, ext4, etc...) and what to do to get this think to boot backup.?
I've tried and side loading "update_full_BLA-L29_hw_la.zip" stock ROM but no luck... I keep getting this error message:
"check_write_data_to_partition,write data error
Update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed
Updated process ended with error: 9"
