So, I tried flashing it through Partition backer but it always should some error, I also placed it in the same folder as the platform-tools and extract zip of file but it does not work. I was thinking what would if I flashed it directly using ADB Sideload? What could go wrong?

OK so I put the BAMF Cubed Kernel on my phone and now I can't flash other kernels.
Many of us are having this problem, and I am having trouble installing new kernels when I try new ROMs.
Would someone please tell me step by step how to do this?
My understanding is that the boot.img file should be placed in the same folder on my PC as adb.exe, Fastboot, etc...
Is this correct? If so, what is the command line I should use to push the kernel to the phone?
Example: I want to try the new RezROM ICS from lllboredlll.
I downloaded the ROM, and have the zip on my phone's SD card. I also have it on my PC.
When I open it, I see a folder called Kernel. In that folder, there is a boot image. Also in that folder is a PH98IMG file containing a second boot image.
Which one is the correct kernel file to push via PC?
The way I understand it and have been doing it. Open up the zipped rom and you will see a boot image , extract or copy it to the folder that you have fastboot in . Then in Hboot..pull up a CMD box.. and either change location or if you have abd in your path.. the instructions are fastboot flash boot boot.img
then that should flash the kernel .. then boot to recovery ..wipe data/factory reset and then flash the rom .

Boot the phone into fastboot. Plug in the USB cable, open a CMD window on your computer. Set the current directory to the folder with adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and your new boot.img file.
enter the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
How come no one sets up their path to include the android-SDK folder with adv, fastboot...etc? I did and makes life so much easier since you never have to cd to anything to run those commands.

The op says that after downloading the file, unzip the file then put it in the TWRP/BACKUPS folder.
After booting the Safestrap recovery, use restore to install the rom.
Either I don't understand or there's some problem with the file I've downloaded.
When I unzipped the file I got VZW-S4-SS-TWRPBACKUP-I545XXUEMK8MK2OMEGA18 folder and inside there were another folder called
rom-slot2-I545XXUEMK8OMEGA18 and in that folder there are 5 files
(data.ext4.win, data.ext4.win.md5, recovery.log, system.ext4.win000, system.ext4.win000.md5).
After putting VZW-S4-SS-TWRPBACKUP-I545XXUEMK8MK2OMEGA18 folder into TWRP/BACKUPS folder,
I rebooted the phone into SS recovery and click restore button, but I don't see the VZW-S4-SS-TWRPBACKUP-I545XXUEMK8MK2OMEGA18 in restore. I have re-downloaded the zip file 3 times and got the same files. What am I doing wrong?
I have downloaded a fastboot file and copy & paste it from download to a folter but after pasting my device & laptop are unable to found that file. What would be error. Pls help if anyone knows the solution.
Your post is very vague. What phone? What fastboot file? Are you trying to use fastboot commands to flash something to your phone? Did you change the folder in the command prompt to the folder you moved everything to? Do you have the fastboot.exe file in that folder? Do you have the correct fastboot drivers? In the bootloader menu of your phone? Good cable plugged into a known good USB port on the PC?

maybe it is a corrupted download. try to download again and see if it matches to the file size you download
Im trying to flash a file from twrp but the files simply don't appear in it. It appear only when I access it through the computer.
Anyway, how to change that ?
maybe because the file is not a flashable zip? With TWRP you can flash flashable zip or img files for partitions.. Also, be sure to access the /sdcard from the TWRP file manager when you tap Install. If it's and External SD you could have to mount it before..
EDIT:
Last but not least, if you are sure the zip is flashable you could use sideload.. From TWRP go to Advanced / Sideload and start sideload.. Open a command prompt into your PC and with the device attached to it use
Code:
adb sideload G:/whatever/the/file/is/into/your/PC/file.zip
Naturally you need adb

It says "failed". Despite that, even if it was an image, shouldn't I see the file at least ? There's an option in twrp which I can choose between zip and images...
The file is the XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk, xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip.asc and eu.chain.fire.supersu_v2.78-278_Android-2.1.apk
No one is a zip as you can see..

You should download zip file instead of the asc file if you want to flash the xposed framework.the apk files you have to install it on the phone and you don't have to flash it on the recovery
I have a Samsung Tab 2 with TWRP 3.3 installed. I wanted to try out some old jellybean roms but they didnt support my device codename so i edited updater-script to fix the issue. I did the same thing a year ago using winrar to make it into a zip again and the edited rom flashed with no problems but now trying the same thing with winrar or 7-zip doesnt work and gives me the "Invalid Zip File Format" error. Any way to fix this?
You try to flash the ZIP-file via ADB Sideload option from TWRP's Advanced option?
If you are facing this TWRP invalid zip file format issue, then by unpacking and re-zipping these zip files could simply fix your issue instantly.

Having the same problem here... fairly reputable zips Magisk and Flashify. Tried sideload and repakaging, no joy
I have the same problem in my Samsung J5 (2016).Model J510F.
I have the same problem "invalid zip file format" with Xperia Z2 and Resurrection Remix 10.
I found some possible help here. They recommend to unpack and repack the zip or install with ADB Sideload, too. Instructions for using ADB Sideload are also included.
