[Q] How can i make "update.zip" files? - XPERIA X8 General

hi
I have a few number of .apk (or fixes for a ROM) but i don't know about making files that ones install in Xrecovery.
plz help me to make updat.zip or .zip file to install in xrecovery.

I think you have to make an update script, but donĀ“t ask me how to make it.

If you had used the "search"-function, you would have seen this.
It tells you what to do.

[Q] How to create an flashable .zip file

Hello all,
I am looking for a good comprehensive guide to creating my own .zip files to flash certain changes I like to make when flashing a rom or just adding files.
Now I have found a few good guides here on XDA but they seem to no longer apply as the update script needs to be in edify and not amend. This is the issue I am having so if anyone can point me to a walk through that explains this type of thing I would appreciate it.
Anyone?
lol, i dont think developers/people-with-knowledge would go into a Q&A sub-forum .
I'm neither on of them, however here is my would-be-successful attempt p) :
1- Make all your modifications and finalize them, the root folder must be /system/ .
2- use apktool to recompile as an apk (apktool b system)
3- sign that .apk.
4- rename extension to zip and violla
theoretically, it should work.
Not shure if this can help you, but i created a zip (original Script is from dungphp) to replace files on my device from CWM:

[Q] CWM backup-->flashable rom?

I'm a new developer and have applied all my tweaks and edits via root explorer so far. is there a way to change a CWM backup into a flashable rom file for other users to flash? I searched around a bit, but couldn't seem to find anything about it.
Goto this thread here
follow all the setup to install cygwin & kitchen
once it's all setup you can plug your phone in and create a rom
follow the guide (second method) for creating the rom system files by extracting the system folders from your phone (rom you are using)
you can then turn it into a flashable rom zip
I think you just basically extract the CWM backup, then repackage them in 1 zip file (except for the androidsecure backup).

YOU CAN USE THE CWM BACKUP IN KITCHEN YO MAKE A CUSTOM ROM.BUT YOU CAN'T ABLE TO USE THE BACKUP FILE DIRECTLY AS A CUSTOM ROM.
OTHER HAND YOU CAN MAKE ALSO THIS BACKUP AS A DEODEXED STOCK ROM BY DEODEXING THIS BACKUP FILES.

Hmm thats how i make roms that i dont post here though....
In tthe cwm backup u have system.rfs.tar
Extract it using 7zip
U get system.img or u might get a system folder....
Extract the img file using Magic Iso
Open magic iso
In menu..
File>open
Select ur system.img
On the left side pane right click on the disk icon and click extract.select ur destination
Once the files are all extracted copy all of them in a folder named "system"
Now get a meta-inf folder from a custom rom and zip
Meta-Inf and system folder together
U have ur rom...
Ill create a video tutorial for this tomorrow as many people ask this question in different threads of devices....

how to create a flashable.zip for lollipop?

Hey guys, I'm developing a ROM for i9502, sometimes i want to fix some issues with some apps and just want to update them. So I want to know how to make a simple flashable update.zip to use with TWRP. I have followed many guides from this forum but nothing seems to work..maybe I must do something different with Lollipop.
Is there any easy way to create a flashable.zip to update a few apps in system folder?
thank you
Seriously? Nobody cant help me? I wan to make a simple update.zip to update files in system folder...
If you followed the guides, you shouldn't have had any issues, except for possibly one: making sure you use the right updater binary. You'd honestly have an easier time if you pulled someone else's flashable zip and used it as a basis to make yours.
