Noob needs assistance

[mr_moneroj]

Ok, so let me start this off by saying I feel kind of dumb right now. I am really new to all this.

I bought a motog5s, and rooted it with super su.
I tried to add a different OS rom (several actually).
I ended up messing up somehow and deleting my backup of the stock rom which I nandroid saved on twrp-3.1.1-sanders.img
I now have a phone with no Operating Sytem. I had twrp-3.1.1-sanders.img and tried to upgrade to twrp-sanders-r2.img which worked but, deleted my backup of stock rom install when i deleted the internal storage like a moron, also didn't help me install a rom w/o error messages so then I upgraded to twrp-sanders-r16.img, which worked also. But now I get error 7 every time I try to install any rom.
Right now my phone has just twrp-sanders-r16.img and no operating system.
How do I resolve the error 7 and error 255(i was getting earlier but now just error 7), and install an operating system? I wanted to get pixel experience working which was what got me all turned around in the first place. I also tried Cosmic, Arrow, AOSPext all of which where in the XDA roms forum(for Moto G5S, Sanders) but kept getting error 255 then I tried to do a fix (deleted assert command from a file in the rom with text editor, but kept saying my ZIP files weren't the proper format, I have ubuntu linux on my computer...which should work) and it stopped giving error 255 and now gives error 7.
I have tried sidebooting, and also many different roms and all give errors. I also had lots of trouble with Open Gapps/larger files/Roms when trying to download on my cpu and then move/copy to my phone's internal storage so I don't know how to resolve that either.
I now want to get a solid rom OS on here ( that's noob friendly) and root with magisk of which i have DL'd 16.0 & Magisk Manager 5.8.3 (last stable release i think)
How do I fix this? Please help!

thank you very much for any help in advance.

First off make sure you have a Moto G5s Plus not the smaller variant. If it's a Plus, than fastboot flash this twrp recovery and try downloading a fresh ROM, gapps, and also Magisk. Flash those guys and you should be good.

Ok I flashed TWRP R20 and it's now on my phone.

I tried flashing Lineage OS, got error 7.

Tried flashing the version of Lineage OS where I deleted the assert code from the beginning of the Updater-Script (which was supposed to fix it.) Instead, I get an error saying it's an improperly formatted zip file.

What solution can I try for resolving this error 7? It happens with every single rom I try.

Just try a fresh downloaded room

kinda' haven't rooted except for other ppl much in the past decade, but i just did this phone and from what i understand, first of all flashing magisk on top of supersu seems like a bad idea since they alter complely different directories. pretty sure you'd want to stick with one or the other unless you reverted to stock first. other than that, did you reformat your system partition on the first try? did you wipe before trying other roms?

stuck with same error.

stuck with exact same error 7, did you got any solution, plz send if any, thank you

I had a similar problem. While trying to flash liquid_remix ROM I kept getting error 7. I checked and saw that my system partition was not mounted in TWRP. After mounting it the ROM flashed fine.
