Hi all.
I,m trying to do some alterations on a roms updater.script and the boot.img file located in (andriod/omap4430.)
Here's what I'm doing.
Editing the updater.script by double clicking on rom.zip and opening up the file, then navigating to the updater.script file opening and editing then pressing save. ( I think I'm doing this bit right).
I'm using a kitchen to make a working folder then placing rom with edited updater.script inside.
Then extracting boot.img/ramdisc .
Then Modding the file init.omap4430.rc, saving and repacking
Then rebuilding rom
Installing on sdcard and then flashing.
The error code on install are as follows
Installing update update...
E:Error in /sdcard/romname.zip
(Status 6)
Install aborted
I think I'm unpacking/repacking wrong as I've tried as an experiment to just unpack a working rom and then repack it without any editing and this also won't install without errors.
I'm actually trying to edit all this to use a rom on a dual boot partition.
Any guidance would be much appreciated
Thanks

Your not signing the zip after you repackaged it. Turn off signature verification in recovery

I have smoki rom(for example). I'm open it in winRAR, and extract updater-script file. I'm edit comments and save changes. If I copy modified updater script file to smoki rom will it works correctly?
your using windows so you need to edit it in notepad++ otherwise it fails
So, if i use notepad ++ for this all will works?
yes it should
E:Wrong digest:
META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
E:Verification failed
I'm only delete some lines ui_print.
did you resign the rom? you need to do that
How i can sign the rom(or another update file)? In occasion ask: have I to perform Partitioning HOW TO REVERT BACK TO STOCK when I want to upload the rom other than smoki(rcmagic v4.2 for example)?
sign the rom with auto-sign, you can search it in the g1 forum, i cant remember which thread
i like update zip packager 2 better
auto sign doesnt work for me on cm6

well i only knew of the other hehe, but just something to sign it
I recently made a discovery regarding the RETURN_VOID_BARRIER issues encountered while trying to deodex honeycomb's framework. Here is a working version of baksmali based on JesusFreke's 1.2.7 patch with the difference that it now produces compliant smali code that can be recompiled by smali.jar 1.2.6. This means that there is no need to edit the smali code to be able to recompile it.
I tried recompiling with smali 1.2.7 and got a nice box of bootloops so stick with 1.2.6 until a proper fix is implemented in the official smali tools.
Thanks! This was most useful for my project today!
I'm really amazed more people haven't noticed/commented on this TBH.
NetworkLocation.odex still give errors.
Thats the error:
Code:

I'm also getting errors on galaxy tab 10.1, framework was done without any problem but many of system app can not deodex
Thanks,the proeblem I meet is solved.

I think you have to unzip it first. Have a peek inside.

It's a zip of a jar file. The jar file is a zip like format, so maybe whatever you are using to unzip is a bit aggressive? Try something milder

Thanks for gettin me outta my n00b moment silly osx unzipped it and made it seem like just one zip file, its been too long since ive done any dev work on my mac
Yeah, it happens. When I want to peek at something on my mac, sometimes it goes into a loop where it unzips to a tar.gz and then when I try to open that, it opens up a zip. Infinite loop!
It works fine from the terminal command line and zipeg seems to do a good job.

Is there a way to remove kernel installation from a rom? Id like to try installing some fascinate GB roms over our Froyo kernel but most of the Fascinate GB roms include a kernel installation which I would like to avoid (for obvious reasons).
Basically what I want is a ROM only install no kernel.
Or better yet does anyone have our 2.2.2 kernel (just the kernel) in a flashable odin package?
Im only experimenting so no flaming..
Thanks
Yup, there is for either option too xP
Which option do you choose?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
If you have the 2.2.2 kernel in an odin package I'll take that.. But for the sake of education I'll take both if you have the time to explain..
+1 for you
Thanks!
Alright, here is the 2.2.2 kernel only Odin Package Can you check now as a test to make sure it works? haha I didn't test it myself
http://www.mediafire.com/?qgkh35439o79sjl
and alright, here is how you can remove flashing the kernel in those packages...
First, open up the package in 7zip...
Delete the Kernel_Update folder, or something named closely to such, on the root of the zip
Then go to META-INF\com\google\android, and copy the updater-script to your desktop
open it up with Notepad++ or another advanced text editor (*Important!) and delete all the lines that look connected with the kernel...
The most important lines are "package_extract_dir("kernel_update"" and "run_program("/tmp/kernel_update/bmlwrite"" lines
K ill give it a try and let you know.

*Edit* Kernel works just fine.
I deleted the "updates" folder which contained a zImage file, redbend.ua, and modem.bin file. However in the META folder there were no instances of the word 'kernel' found. Just references to run the installer for the formentioned 'updates' folder which I deleted.
Should I just delete the 'zImage' file which I'm assuming is the kernel and leave the script to install the redbend.ua and modem.bin files?
Much Appreciated! :highfive:

hi guys!
First of all : I'm new to the custom rom scene development. I do know how to flash and so..
So i've installed cygwin and the android kitchen. I took the stock rom provided to me by the manufacturer, i was able to set up the working folder. Then I did : "Build ROM from working folder", without making any changes to apk's or something like that.
When i got the update.zip file i tried flashing it with a recovery and using the update.zip in /sdcard method. The first method just stopped after verifying, the second method said it was an invalid package.
I believe there is something wrong with the signing of the rom. Could you guys help me out?
Thx!
Check type of script used in update.zip

Did u signed the update.zip while exporting rom using cygwin menu. ?
If you didnt sign it will notify that is invalid
But there might be some other kind of issue like
1. Cygwin provides updater_script and update_script in update.zip package it contain all information reguarding flashing
check that your device require which type of script .
let me know your responce.
Press thanks button. if this helped
Hey guys recently i was trying my hand at porting roms. I have read a lot of guides and i know mostly all about flashing or modifying custom roms or kernel etc. But i am stuck because every time i try to flash my ported rom it gives this error :-
could not find meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary
Flashing fails after this error. I have already checked that update-binary file is present at the correct location and I am 100% sure i am following all the porting guides completely but still i am getting this error. I have tried 2-3 different guides but every single time i get this error. Can anyone tell me where am i going wrong?

i had similar issue, didn't flash the system & boot.img. Creating Zip on different platform fixed it.

I prefer android kitchen to zip the rom.. just place the ported files in the "working" folder and zip via android kitchen..it generates the updater script n update binary by default
