Hi,
Iam trying to start a fullwipe.sh during the updater-script prozess. It works on the Optimus Speed, but it doesn't work on the DEFY. I know that the file is copied in the right folder because I tried it also with an SDCard, but it doesn't get executed.
Code:
ui_print("Mounte Partitionen...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/dbdata");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/cache");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/sdcard");
# Fullwipe
delete_recursive("/tmp/vorkKernel");
package_extract_dir("tmp", "/tmp");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/vorkKernel/busybox");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/vorkKernel/fullwipe.sh");
run_program("/tmp/vorkKernel/fullwipe.sh");
As I said it works flawless on the Optimus Speed and maybe somebody know why it doesn't work on the Defy. Are there maybe different mounts or different names for some codes.
It works until it should run_program and it doesn't have to do something with the fullwipe script because I tried it even without any code only giving out some ui_print and it didn't work.
Hopefully somebody can help, because I am getting tired of trying. The fullwipe.sh is added to this post
Are you sure the script has right partitions because the updater script itself looks good as long as the binary matches it

You mean the run_program mount scripts? But they worked usually everytime and the tmp folder and the script should even start but it even doesn't start. I will try tonight something different and mount it with old stuff. What's strange ist that it says run_program and than sbin/busybox but I looked on the defy after it and on my Speed, but there is no busybox file in the sbin???? How this can work or isn't needed.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk
I think it has to be xbin instead of sbin
thanks for the help, but I tried it also with xbin and nothing. I tried nearly everything and wanted to test if a normal shell script even works.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount /system
rm /system/app/Email.apk
unmount /system
or something like this
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o rw /system
rm /system/app/Email.apk
unmount /system
nothing, if I execute this Shell Script at the boot with the normal firstboot in the ini.t folder it does nothing. This is a desaster, is something different with MIUI and Shell Scripts or why any Shell Scripts doesn't work in the bloody phone.
Do I have to mount differently, to I have to use another sh Folder. I checkt every bin and xbin folder and tried different folders, nothing.
ANY IDEA:???
Try a different binary and edify script... there are like 4 different kinds, all with different mount codes

First and foremost I take no credit for the majority of this thread. I am merely posting this here as a reference for you all. I had to dig around a lot for this information and piece it together from several different threads as well as pull examples from updater-scripts in several different roms/theme/etc. Everyone else put in the work, I am just trying to make it easier for the rest of us .
Mounting Partitions:
MTD:
Code:
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
mount("MTD", "cache", "/cache");
mount("MTD", "sdcard", "/sdcard");
EMMC with EXT3 and EXT4 file systems:
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mountpoint", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mountpoint", "/data");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mountpoint", "/cache");
Code:
mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mountpoint", "/system");
mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mountpoint", "/data");
mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mountpoint", "/cache");
“mountpoint” will vary from device to device. Decide what partition you want to mount, find where it mounts (there will be resources in the second post, and paste it in place of “mountpoint” in your script.

EDIT: Also, looks like he might be missing a few commands. Not a big deal. Any and all help is appreciated.
Oh yeah. Of course. I know some stuff is missing, but I also like the color coding of it and showing what the Amend syntax is compared to the Edify. So, I thought I would post it. It's been useful to me.

If you rebuild the recovery it can be changed, but there are no options built in that will allow you to change the colors.
I'm of course referring to ClockworkMod recovery, since Amon_RA's github is outdated, I haven't really looked through his code.

Anyone know the arguments/parameters to format boot to ext4?
The Desire S is Ext4 by default but i keep getting a status 1 error code when using Ext4, however Ext3 works fine.
Ive tried mounting and unmounting prior to format but no luck what so ever

ooh i see you've updated for the evo 3d
One trick I used in creating the superuser and gapps ZIPs:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
It runs just fine on both eMMC and MTD devices, and the only prerequisites are that the recovery has busybox, and already knows the mount points (which any good recovery should). Been working on Amon_RA, ClockworkMod 2-4, and TWRP.
Great tutorial!

Awesome! Thanks. Now I have to figure out why I can't flash any zip in my phone with CWM.
This guide is very helpful. Any chance anyone knows where to get the update-binary? I know I can get it from a ROM but I'd like to learn so I can cook my own ROM from scratch.
I would like to create an update.zip to install my apps. I am having the hardest time. Anyone have any ideas? I want to be able to flash this after installing a new rom for a few apps, root explorer, titanium backup, etc. I know its possible, but this doesn't work. Am I mounting correctly?
Updater-script:
ui_print("Performing Update...");
ui_print("Mounting mount points...");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
mount("MTD", "data", "/data");
mount("MTD", "cache", "/cache");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data/app");
ui_print("Unmounting mount points...");
unmount("/system");
unmount("/data");
unmount("/cache");
ui_print("Update Complete.");

Download Gallery3D mod in my sig, it has updater-script version (0.3), use it as reference.
Also, you don't need to mount /system and /cache, if the only thing you want to copy is the apps on /data.
Yeah, thanks. I was messing around with some other things and left that in there.
Thanks for the reference, I will look into it.

Hey guys, made an tutorial on how to make an CWM installable .zip
Requirements
Notepad++
An CWM/Feamod installable .zip for your device
Instructions:
1. Get yourself an CWM installable .zip for your device.
2. Extract the .zip
3. Go into the META-INF folder, delete CERT.RSA, CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF.
4. go to META-INF/com/google/android
5. Right-Click on updater-script and select Notepad++
6. You see an script. Edit it. If you want to extract the folder (zip)/system/media/audio/ui use this script:
Code:
package_extract_dir("system/media/audio/ui", "/system/media/audio/ui");
ui_print("text"); means the text shown when you install the .zip in CWM.
run_program("text"); means that CWM runs a program
delete("/system"); means that you delete /system
package_extract_dir("framework", "/system/etc"); means that the files in /system/framework are extracted in /system/etc (on the device)
Make the script. My script for my iPhone Sounds is
ui_print("iPhone-Sounds by FlorisNL");
Code:
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
mount("ext4", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15", "/system");
set_progress(0.400000);
package_extract_dir("system/media/audio/ui", "/system/media/audio/ui");
set_progress(0.800000);
unmount("/system");
set_progress(0.900000);
ui_print("Installed Iphone-Sounds. Enjoy.");
set_progress(1.000000);
When your done, create an .zip with 7z. and test it. If you still got problems, feel free to post it in this topic.
(Sorry for my poor english sometimes ;p)
Floris
No need to make CWM flashable mod for audio files.
Put ogg/m4a/mp3 files in
sdcard/Alarms
sdcard/Notifications
sdcard/Ringtones
Reboot and media scanner will make them available in Settings > Sounds.
sdcard/Ringtones/.nomedia <- (0 size file)
Reboot and media scanner skip the folder sdcard/Ringtones
But I want to know. And im not porting ringtones only but also lock sounds, camera shutter sound, etc.

Lol ok, it was just an idea. I just like the shutter sound and the lock sounds of the iphone but I prefer Android.
Just take a normal zip for your device, extract it, look at the file in META-INF\com\google\android --> updater-script (edit only with notepad++ under windows os, otherwise with normal notepad or other software the line endings might get converted from UNIX style to windows style which will not work!)
Files to be copied will most likely be in a folder structure like \system\YourFile.
Be sure to remove in \META-INF files CERT.RSA, CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF.
Those are the files that gurantee the file is correct and integer ("signed zip") will become invalid after repacking.
Then pack everything with 7zip (with format .zip and lightest compression) and make sure that when you open up your zip META-INF is in the zip root.
More information on updater-scripts can be found on XDA or google with search for edify script.
What do you exactly mean with a zip for your device? Another mod?

Hi Floris,
Thanks for changing this into a tut, good job!

And be sure if you extracted the zip to a directory, when you zip back, zip what's INSIDE the folder and not the folder... yeah, I did that...
The updater-script must also be in UNIX format (definitely, but that mistake I didn't make... )
With CWM 6.0.4.4 you can zip with the "Ultra" compression in 7-zip and CWM will manage to open it.
Hi, can anyone help me with this
trying to create own package which CWM still fails to install
gives error E: failed to open update.zip (bad)

Q2: what actually does the mount("ext4", "...) command do and is it required to use?

A1: I always just zipped it, never looked at the compression quality. Just make sure to make a ZIP and not RAR or 7Z
A2: It mounts your system so you can write to it. Make sure to use an example mount command from a working ZIP of someone else for your specific device. The mount command is different in every device. On some recoveries with rooted ROMs you can use:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
A3: For instance something like this:
Code:
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
ui_print(" Mounting SYSTEM...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
set_progress(0.100000);
ui_print(" Extracting files to SYSTEM...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_progress(0.400000);
ui_print(" Setting /system/app/NAME.apk permission to 644...");
set_perm(0, 0, 644, "/system/app/NAME.apk");
set_progress(0.600000);
ui_print(" Unmounting SYSTEM...");
unmount("/system");
set_progress(0.900000);
ui_print("Install complete...");
set_progress(1.000000);
Why not use ADB for something like this (from your PC)?
Code:
adb remount
adb push NAME.apk_here /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/NAME.apk
adb reboot
Regards,
Nika.
Nice. I've found the error source - some files names had international accents. Now install passes to the end.
But another problem I have is that my files aren't mirrored into system.
Is package_extract_dir("system", "/system") recursive or do I have process every nested folder in it for extraction?
system\fonts
system\media\audio\alarms
system\media\audio\notifications
system\media\audio\ringtones
system\etc
system\bin
system\app
My script
Code:
ui_print("Integrating own fonts, sounds and customizations into system");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
set_progress(0.000000);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_progress(1.000000);
ui_print("Installed custom files. Enjoy.");
Finishes successfully but when I boot into OS, the files aren't in place, and I install this zip as last package.
Looks to me like you're not mounting system. It therefore cannot add the files. Yes, with package_extract_dir it recursively extracts all files...

BTW, in most cwm you can also mount system from the menu. Try that first and then run your script. Again, mounting system is required when you want to copy file to it. Figure out what command to use for your specific rom... Possibly also checkout how they do it for gapps and other generic installable zips...

set_perm (0, 0, 0755, "system/media/bootanimation.zip");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
I changed the partition of the bootlogo in the script&file format from image. I want to use a raw image what fit the defy dimensions. Also set the permissions of the bootanimation, think that is needed to boot up... or not
I can't test it cause I'm not able to flash a sbf at the moment ... that's why i ask all of you guys.
I don't think that I made a mistake, but i scared if the mmcblk1p10 is destroyed with a wrong command, that i cant boot up AROMA Filemanager, to recover my device without PC.
Please Help

[Solved][Q] Problem creating "update.zip" to flash .ttf & fallback_fonts.xml file
The whole question is irrelevant. It was my mistake in creating the zip file. I included the folder(parent to META-INF and SYSTEM) in the zip but I only had to include the META-INF and the SYSTEM folder. Solved it. Thank you.. How dumb i feel:laugh::laugh:
Believe me, I have been through several guides before writing this question about creating update.zip.
I have tried to modify existing .zip files, create new ones etc. etc. but I am failing every time.
My purpose is to flash a modified "fallback_fonts.xml" file to /system/etc/ and a new .ttf file to /system/fonts
I have modified the fallback_fonts.xml file and put it in the system/etc/ folder and the .ttf file in the /system/fonts/ folder.
The updater-script looks like this
Code:
ui_print("Installing Gujarati Fonts for CM10.1 based ROMs..");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Mounting system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
show_progress(1, 7);
ui_print("Copying files...");
package_extract_dir("system","/system");
ui_print("Setting Permissions....");
set_perm(0, 0, 644, "/system/etc/fallback_fonts.xml");
set_perm(0, 0, 644, "/system/fonts/Lohit-Gujarati.ttf");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
ui_print("Installation complete!");
I have put an extra line also at the end as mentioned by some tutorials and guides about creating update.zip. Yet, it always fails to flash and I have to do these changes manually which is frustrating every time I flash a new build.
I have taken the update-binary file from an addon file which BaNkS uses to update thin roboto fonts. I have also tried using his same updater-script as it only says just to extract_dir of system but still it fails.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.....

you can try my ubuntu font zip from my medfiafirefolder, it works fine
i kept the updater script very simple, it only exchanges fonts, no xml ...
Code:
ui_print("Applying Ubuntu fonts");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("fonts", "/system/fonts");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
I can't believe how dumb I am. What a stupid thing to do when creating a .zip file from the main folder. The zip contained the main folder and then the files inside them which obviously resulted in errors. And I thought I am doing something wrong in the syntax. Sorry guys for the trouble and thanks to them who took the time to read it. I believe I have wasted their time.
