I modded a flashable zip and now it won't let me flash it.
When I try to flash I get
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 6)
I have edited the update script, and don't know how to edit the update binary if that could be it. I am able to flash other zips though. I've tried removing things and adding things. The funny part is that another modded update zip I made a few days ago worked perfectly fine. Any ideas guys? What does Status 6 mean? Why does it give me the tmp/sideload/package.zip thing? Do I need to go back to factory (PLEASE SAY I DONT )
EDIT: I think it was just that zip.
According to AssassinsLament, the issue is probably your update-binary file (assuming you're already using edify: updater-script), which you can compile in AOSP or use the version AssassinsLament provides as the latest attached in his post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16409219&postcount=24
also, you can get a more detailed log in recovery, cat /tmp/recovery.log and pastebin that. with the more detailed recovery log, we will be able to determine more precisely the issue you're experiencing, but as a general solution, updating the update-binary file *should* work. if not, pastebin your /tmp/recovery.log.
hope that helps!

Thanks! That's exactly it!, I wasn't touching the update binary (i dont know how).
EDIT: So how exactly do I update the binary? Or do I just copy the one from assassinlaments post into the update zip.
What are you trying to flash?

Make sure you're not using Wordpad or anything like that to edit the updater-script. You need to use something that encodes the file with Unix encoding. Also, it shouldn't be the update-binary, you would get a sideload error. Check to make sure you're not missing a "," or ";" or little things like that somewhere. Also, if you open the file /cache/recovery/last_log when you reboot (or I think there is a /cache/recovery/recovery.log while you're in recovery [just cat that file]) it will tell you what the error is and the line location of any errors in your updater-script

Yeah I made sure it was in UTF 8, (using text wrangler). I'm gonna check the log right now.

Alright! Here it is!
This one doesnt give me a tmp/sideload/package.zip error, but when it finshes installing it doesn't really install. It wont give an error, but nothing happens.

A few things... you don't even have an updater-binary. You NEED to have that. For the updater-script, you have:
Code:
ui_print("SupraROM v1.2.1 Upgrade-Beta");
show_progress(0.1, 0);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23", "/system");
show_progress(0.2, 0);package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(0.3, 0);
unmount("/system");
show_progress(0.4, 0);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23", "/system");
show_progress(0.5, 0);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
ui_print("Done Flashing");
You are mounting and unmounting twice and trying to extract the same package. Also, show progress is a pain in the ass and I doubt the way you have it shows a progress bar. Do it like this:
Code:
ui_print("SupraROM v1.2.1 Upgrade-Beta");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Installing files...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Done!");
unmount("/system");
And add in this updater-binary...

That should take care of it

I think you posted this issue on IRC last night. After confirming with you, you're using the corrrect Unix style text file format for the updater-script, I suggested removing the last line of the script and trying again.
The concept behind that idea is to help develop a type of troubleshooting method.
Issue: If you're always receiving an error on the last line due to the system expecting a "," or ")" which shows either the system is expecting more parameters or a closing parathensis meaning somewhere in your code you're not ending a statement properly.
One type of approach: Cut your script in half and see if it executes properly. If so, then you know the first half of your lines are correct. If not, then you know there is at least one issue in the first half of your lines. Depending on the result you either add more commands (first half worked) or you reduce the commands (first half didnt work) in an effort to narrow down your issue. As you proceed using this approach, you should be able to narrow down the trouble line/lines to the exact specific line/syntax which causes the script to always error.
For reference, if you want to compare against a known working updater-script, the one I wrote in my ROM works very well. Feel free to extract it out of the ROM and compare/contrast/use.

exactly what the update-binary was saying the error was. glad you were able to locate the line.
this is the main reason i dislike programming, syntax .. but we all learn to live by it.
thanks for the follow up post. good to know update-binary does throw a correct error message according to your post, although the offending line doesnt seem to be correctly mentioned in the error message.

thanks for the follow up post. good to know update-binary does throw a correct error message according to your post, although the offending line doesnt seem to be correctly mentioned in the error message.

That was what was driving me crazy: the wrong line number.
Alright, I'm wanting to modify the theme of my rom (eclipse 2.0.2 to be exact). I'll explain my steps below, but the problem I'm having is when flashing the update.zip from my SD card during BSR, I get "E: There is a syntax error in the update" and nothing happens.
Here's my steps. I'm using APK manager 4.9, trying to modify Eclipse 2.0.2.
1. I've installed APK Manager and it's running fine.
2. I grab "framework-res.apk" from Eclipse /system/framework directory and place it inside APKManager's "place-apk-here-for-modding" dir.
3. I run APKManager and choose option 9 (Decompile APK)
4. Once decompiled, I edit the files inside APKManager's "project" dir.
5. I then run APKManager and choose option 11 ("Compile APK"). This places "unsignedframework-res.apk" in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" dir.
6. I take this new file, rename it to "framework-res.apk" and place it in a zip file, along with the META-INF. Here is my dir structure inside the .zip:
Code:
/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
7. I place the following code inside "update-script"
Code:
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:framework
show_progress 0.1 10
8. I then sign the .zip using "Testsign" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538020)
9. I now place the newly signed .zip onto my sd card.
10. I reboot my phone into BSR, clear cache/dalvik cache, and attempt to install update from zip.
11. After selecting my .zip and starting the update process, I get the syntax error.
Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE

This topic is solved!
To make this even simpler, download Framework Flasher and easily create flashable update.zip files! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21113455
The structure of the files must be like the following:
update.zip/system/framework/framework-res.apk
Store file here
update.zip/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
Code:
ui_print("Installing...");
show_progress(0.1, 0);
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(0.1, 10);
show_progress(0.2, 0);
show_progress(0.2, 10);
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/framework/framework-res.apk");
ui_print("Done!")
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
update.zip/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
You will need to pull this from a ROM or Theme .zip
Thanks!
Would this be better off posted in another Droid x2 forum? Or is this the correct forum? I'm still needing help with this. I just can't seem to get it to work for some reason. Thanks again!

This is the correct forum. Hopefully one of our fantastic themers decide to poke their head in and answer but to me it sounds like a problem while creating your zip file.

Not sure if this is your issue but I'm pretty sure there's an update to APK Manager. I'm also playing around with theming and I believe the version I have is 5.
Yeah I definitely think the problem is due to either the zip sign our the update-script file.
As for updating apk manager, I'll try it, but I read somewhere that apk manager has bugs and to stick with 4.9. I did however update apktool.jar to the latest version.

Don't rename the file in step 6. Do option 12 to sighn the apk. That will create sighnedframework-res. Rename that file and put it in your zip.
I use version 5. Think the option is still 12 to sign the file.
EDIT: Sorry I see step 8 where you sign the apk. I missed that. Never used 4.9 myself.

Thanks for that reply. I've since downloaded APKManager v5 and signed the APK like you said. I signed the .zip as well. However, I still ended up getting the syntax error.
After more research, I learned the differences between update-script and updater-script. So, I've converted to use the newer method (updater-script).
Inside my updater-script:
Code:
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
set_progress(0.200000);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_progress(0.400000);
set_perm(0,0,0644,"/system/framework/framework-res.apk");
set_progress(0.500000);
unmount("/system");
set_progress(0.900000);
ui_print("Update complete. FINALLY");
set_progress(1.000000);
I'm no longer getting the syntax error like before, but now, all I see is the following messages:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
THEN IT JUST FREEZES. I end up having to remove my battery and reboot my phone.
Why is this so hard for me?
I do believe its your update script it does not look right at all to me but I'm not using same device will have a look later when I get up

Well, after even more research, I've learned some more. I've ditched the UPDATE-SCRIPT idea since updater-script is the preferred method of flashing.
In order to run updater-script, you need the "update-binary" files as well. As far as I know, all this file does is interpret the updater-script so it can be read. So I grabbed update-binary from a theme .zip that was posted on these forums and am using that.
Along with that, here is my modified updater-script
Code:
show_progress(0.200000, 10);
ui_print("Installing...");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 40);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(0.100000, 10);
ui_print("Done!");
unmount("/system");
This code seems to be working, but not 100% yet. I was getting status 6 errors until I converted the newline characters from windows to unix. Now that I've done that, I'm getting Status 7 errors.
So that's where I stand now. With a Status 7 error. Below is my updated .zip structure just for clarification:
Code:
/META-INF/com/google/android/(updater-script and update-binary)
/system/framework/(framework-res.apk)
I'm getting close, but not quite there.
i also am trying to figure this out, i hope you figure it out man
try this script
ui_print("Installing...");
show_progress(0.1, 0);
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(0.1, 10);
show_progress(0.2, 0);
show_progress(0.2, 10);
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/framework/framework-res.apk");
ui_print("Done!")
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
if this does not work let me know also like i said i dont have the device so are you you sure its mtd and not emmc ?

Wow thanks! The busybox method worked flawlessly, no problem.
I'll update my original post in this topic to help whoever is needing help with this. I also created a script that will automate this entire process for you! Check the original post in this topic for all the details.
Thanks to everyone that helped!
Hi community,
Sorry for bumping this old thread but I'm having some issues when trying this stuff, I created the update.zip file but can't flash it.
The error I get with flashboot is
$ fastboot update update.zip
ERROR: could not clear input pipe; result e000404f, ignoring...
ERROR: could not clear output pipe; result e000404f, ignoring....
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
error: update package 'update.zip' has no android-info.txt
And
$ adb sideload upload.zip
shows error installation aborted on the device
This is the only thread that I've seen when users are reporting that the operation was successfully accomplished, although my device is different that's why I'm posting here.
Any help or comment is appreciated,
King regards.
I followed this tutorial: http://fokke.org/site/content/howto-create-android-updatezip-package
...on making update.zip files.
It only says opening... installing... then installation aborted.
I followed the directions to the letter.
It doesn´t even go so far as to do the ui print from step one.
Code:
ui_print("Android Security Enhancements");
ui_print("By: Michiel Fokke - fokke.org/android");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
ui_print(" Mounting /system");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
set_progress(0.100000);
So I don't think it runs any of the code at all.
I signed it and everything... no dice.
Any idea what the problem could be?
Now I've got the exact text in front of me from CWM Recovery:
Code:
--Installing: /emmc/Updates/update.zip
Finding update package....
Opening update package...
Installing update..
E:Error in /emmc/Updates/update.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
And here´s the exact text of my update.zip:
Code:
ui_print("Simple Font Change");
ui_print("By: Team Rainless");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
ui_print(" Mounting /system");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
set_progress(0.100000);
ui_print(" Extracting files to /system");
package_extract_dir("system/fonts/Clockopia2.ttf", "/system/fonts");
set_progress(0.200000);
ui_print(" Setting permissions to 0644...");
set_perm(0,0,0644,"/system/fonts/Clockopia2.ttf");
set_progress(0.400000);
ui_print(" Unmounting /system");
unmount("/system");
set_progress(0.900000);
ui_print("Update complete. Hope this worked!");
set_progress(1.000000);
Should I perhaps post this in the dev forum instead?
It's really not a general or easy question...

This is the right section as it's not development as such but a development question which the dev thread isn't for. This covers all really and you'll always get someone read and come and answer.
Anyway just the first thing I've noticed is your mount instruction looks completely wrong to me and have never seen it like that. I've never read those instructions before but they don't look too great. Also I thought the extract should be ("label", "location").
This is what is common across all the zips I use:
Mount command:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
Package extract:
Code:
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
package_extract_file("Clockopia2.ttf", "/system/fonts")
I may be wrong about the extract but also don't forget to unmount the system in the same way:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unmount", "/system");
I only really modify zips as opposed to create whole new ones but give it a go as yours isn't working at the moment.
Hope it helps or someone clarifies this for me too.

Figured it out:
The update-binary was bogus.
And that guide... like ALL the guides on making update.zips... SUCKS.
I'm going to write my own guide now.
Thanks for the help.

At least you figured it out. I'm also in the process of writing (just not got round to finishing) a CWM guide but not how to create them so that would work out nicely if you created one.
I know people talk about this all the time... I found a lot of thread of how to create a flashable zip file.. But every thread has it different than others. So I have tried it several ways and still get errors...
I'm trying to make a flashable zip to push an apk to system/app and I decided to do this to test it out...
This is the update-script I have tested it with
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
delete("/system/app/FlashBarService.apk");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unmount", "/system");
Ok what I figure is the run_program is to mount system with busybox. Every line i see that it have this on there.. Then Im trying to replace an app from system/app so I put in delete("/system/app/name of app");
then package_extract_dir("system", :/system"); is so recovery can extract and push the zip file
and again run_program to unmount... But recovery is giving me an error status 4
I also deleted that delete line and still got status 4.
Again this is another way I tried it to do it with
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/cache");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/cache");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
And this way too
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "/data");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unmount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unmount", "/data");
And till got status 4.
Inside my xxx.zip I have it set up this way META-INF/com/google/android
And other folder on root system/app
I have a GS3.
Like I said I have followed several threads about this and all looks different and none worked.
I know this is supposed to be the easies thing to do when it comes to android. But I just need to be directed to the right path.
Can somebody with more experience with this help me out?
Status 4 means that you have a syntax error somewhere... (yep, you have a syntax error or you're using notepad or wordpad to edit the files. That's it).
The best guide I ever seen out there is this one, take a look at it.
I use notepad++ to edit any android related files like build.prop. Thanks will look at that

Yeah. Notepad++ is best for this type of Editing in Windows.
Have you chosen the correct format in settings?
Edit>>EOL Conversions>>UNIX Format
The problem may be that windows use CR(carriage return) while unix(Android) uses LF (line feed) for a new line character.
You can also try to mount the system manually(there is option in CWM for that) & may be leave only the "package_extract_dir("system", "/system");" in the updater script.
Also, post the zip file here, so that problem can be easily identified.

Will do.. But it works when I use notepad++ to add ui_print.
