I tried to install a custom rom on a a6000. I installed the lolipop stock rom on top of the KitKat stock rom, and managed to boot to it without a problem. I then installed TWRP installed is: 3.3.1-0, and tried to install a custom rom (more specifically I tried this unofficial Lineage). For some reason, the installation fails with:

e3004: This package is for device: Kraft-T, a6000, K30-T,A6000, Kraft-W, Kraft-C, k30t, msm8916,Kraft-A6000,wt86518; this device is .
Updated process ended with ERROR 7
when booting into the stock lolipop rom installed I can see that the device is the A6000. I find it strange how the recovery doesn't write which device it is on this error message.

What am I missing here? Usually with other phones, as long as you manage to install a custom recovery then it's a breeze. I cannot figure out how the custom roms don't get installed. Any help appreciated

Managed to flash it in the end. The flash files contain assertions checking if the zip is okay to be flashed on the device (whether the model is the one intended for example).

I found it strange that the error message did not show the model of my device as I was 100% sure it is a A6000 and that is a ROM intended for it.

I ended up overriding the assertion in the file, which seemed to be straightforward to do and the image was flashed without any issues.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME unless you are 10000% sure the image is intended for the device. ?
