Root [International] Trying to flash OmniROM and getting error - HELP!!

[Albie999]

OK, took the leap to OmniROM, but getting an error when trying to install. I have installed TWRP 2.6.3.0, booted into TWRP, selected Wipe and slider for factory reset

Then select Install, and selected the Omnirom zip file (omni-4.4.2-20140113-i9300-nightly.zip) then swipe to confirm flash

It checks the MD5, it then says "formatting /system", then "extracting /system" then it says

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: error executing updater binary in zip '/external .......
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/ROM's/omni-4.4.2 ...........
Updating partition details .......

and then it shows a red failed message

If I reboot, I just go back to TWRP .. where I can restore my NAND

What is wrong here?

I've read a few instances where it's failed using TWRP and some of the options that's have been said are reset to default (which I imagine you won't need) and unchecked check MD5 sum

Hey Albie i just replied to your pm mate.
Yatesy isnt there a security thing in recovery that has to be turned off to flash Omni?
Im very new to TWRP tbh. I just recently put it on my tablet and havent used it much

Sorted it ... seemed I needed the latest TWRP (2.6.3.1), rather than the 2.6.3.0 version that gets installed via goo manager

Actually .. one quick question on Omni, as pulling my hair out (although I am already bald ) ... how do you set a lock screen wallpaper in OmniROM. I can see how to set the wallpaper, but doesn't seem to be an option for setting lock screen?

It's for the OTA flashes Funky, just untick the secure box in the system update settings.
