glad it worked mate
you need to delete the first line in the updater script using any text editor to install the zip without errors.
meta-inf ->google->android->updater-script
I think it would be easier to just flash CWM 6.0.3.1.

E: signature verification failed - CM Recovery

Hi all,
I have a bit of a problem here, whenever I try to flash a .zip file in Cyanogen Recovery (CM12) it says: E: signature verification failed. Installation aborted.
Does anyone know how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

I had that issue with the same recovery on a number of zips. Have you considered using another recovery?

Yes I did, noone seems to be able to answer this question, so I'm going to plan B.
I would like to know how I can install TWRP over the CM12 recovery again, because when I flash the TWRP .img file with fastboot, it replaces my whole CM12 Rom.
Could someone explain to me how I can keep both CM12 + TWRP recovery?
Thanks in advance!

It replaces your Rom with what exactly
Try formatting the FOTAKernel either using xperia recovery manager or flashtool and then flash twrp/cwm and report back.

I had the same problem.And i got permission denied when flashing fotakernal in flashboot mode.
I solved it by using "[ROOT] Rashr - Flash" Tool.It is in google play.

TWRP flashing

Hi guys, I'm experiencing a message "error updating binary zip" thing while trying to flash a liquid smooth rom on my nexus 6. Please help me. Thanks
You might need to update TWRP; what version do you have installed? It should be listed at the top in recovery.

Download this App from PlayStore and you'll be able to find the latest TWRP here It'll automatically flash the recovery and give a try to flash the ROM again
Tried it now and I still have the error while flashing. My version is 2.8.5

Might be they use an old update binary in the zip. Ask in the ROM thread.,

sorry for late responce
i did try some method and this one is good
try this hack and by flash via recovery and then flash your own recovery
latest recovery is here
installed both .............Nothing happened
I'll try an old TWRP
Which rom are you on?
try flashing TWRP 2.8.5 the official version and you should be able to boot to TWRP Recover.

Ok, so the ROM by pabx, This rom does not have in built arrangement for TWRP, you will have to compile it on your own.
You will find the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/turorial-add-twrp-to-boot-img-t2951658
and then flash TWRP to Fotakernel first and then flash boot.img
learn something new everyday
could I flash a philz recovery?
I can't find a .zip and can't do "fastboot recovery.img "the philz.img
thanks
I have not tried Philz, so i cannot give you an answer.
you may want to head over to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/z-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2477769
Had the same problem.
TWRP Recovery wasn`t available after I flashed yuga.
Used "TWRP Manager" (only with root) which worked for me even when the app said that the installation failed.After rebooting I was able to enter TWRP again.
SO I installed This and I now have TWRP 2.8.
0! My rom won't boot any more, but who cares I can now install CM!..............I hope
have you tries the hack that oliver has on his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57718351&postcount=2
flash Olivers TWRP to FotaKernal and then from cm recovery flash the hack, reboot and enter recovery and check
I have not personally check but give it a try if you like.
