[Q] How do you make recovery zips? - GT540 Optimus General

Can someone point me in the direction of making update zips for recovery?
If possible, I need to do it on my phone (no PC).
Thanks

dont know as most tools for making an update.zip are a batch file or binary file.

Maybe I'll do some research about this and if I find something I'll let you know.

Well-a,you need to pick a zip and put recovery.img in its root. Then pick the updater-script and paste this in it:
Code:
assert(package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/tmp/recovery.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/recovery.img", "recovery"),
delete("/tmp/recovery.img"));
Remember to sign it!

Can you provide links?

Here, I got this tutorial:
http://www.robmcghee.com/android/creating-an-android-update-zip-package/
Later you need to convert the update-script to updater-script (for ClockworkMod compatibility). So use this utility,

^^ Good Post! HAHA! ^^
This is the newest news from the Nexus S Dev Forum:
Update: We need another dump!
This dump was taken via fastboot oem unlock and adb pull /system and it's apparently missing permissions and symlinks.
We need to get a dump from a rooted, busybox installed Nexus S using the following command:
tar zcvf /sdcard/system-dump.tar.gz /system
Us Galaxy S users could also use a kernel dump.
Even if you have no clue how to do any of this, please go to http://webchat.freenode.net/ and join the channel #NSdev
Just mention that you have a Nexus S and we will walk you through the process.
-Thanks
Can't wait to see this baby running!

You can flash it with pershoot recovery. You just have to delete the first line in updater script, the assert line. Then it will flash. I have it installed and its nice, its the same as any kang build.
can you put up screne shots
Is it just a mater of removing the assert in the install script?
