I was wondering if somebody would be able to help me write an updater-script for the rom I've port for my Amaze. I try to flash it in CWM but I always get a (status 6) error. So if there is someone that would be willing to take my zip and create a functioning updater script or help me create one I would be very happy. I have a log file from Rom Manager if that helps. If you're interested in helping, reply here and I'll pm you or something.
Ill have a look if you want. Cant promise anything but ive done a bit of work with updater scripts

Hi guys,
How to I go about creating an update-script? Over the past few days I'be been cooking my own ROM (it's a port from the Incredible S dumps) and creating the update script is the last step before I test the ROM out and if it works, uploading to the Android Development forum.
I'm using a Nexus One btw.
So, could any assist me?
Thanks,

I tried to make my own the other day, and I found a helpful thread on the commands you can use for it. Ill try and find the link then update here.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641223
This one is for update-scripts but I imagine there's not that much difference, correct me if I'm wrong. There does seem to be other commands for the same things in updater-script.
Another suggestion is to look at existing updater-scripts and see what makes them tick. They are quite self explanitory, nice and easy to read.

You can take an update script from another custom rom, i think.
Don't forget to sign and do nandroid.

You could also do this, but depending on what the custom rom changes you may need to change things in there, maybe not.

I have to ask but have you searched? Ok good.
I usually run a Logcat and see if antything is going on there then I REcompare the files in the boot image with the same files from the original rom for thr G1 to see what is being called to do what and see what the new rom is asking for.
It a starting point. For some reason they like to keep the really good info a secret here. BUT dont get frustrated, when all else fails to get it working (your probably going to need to hex edit) then jump over to the G1 dev forum and PM a dev and ask him if he can give you a push into the right direction. I hope that help a little.

I have been making themes for the amaze ever since i got mine and always I have been able to decompile the fusion.apk file and its m10 files for themeing and it has always worked on sense 3.0.... but know I am unable to with new roms such as BulletProof v2.1.0 and others... ARHD as well... can one of you pros please tell me what I am doing wrong?.... I use the latest m10 editor that Diamondback created and like i said it has always worked with sense 3.0 but why cant I use it now? when I run an apk through m10 editor it says everything is fine and decompiles the file but whne I go to edit the png files all I see are dat files.
Thansk you anyone that can shed some light on this for me.... because I have search XDA and the internet but have had no luck finding out whats going on...

just give me the updater script. file
here it is thanks
There is no mount and unmout cmd's in the script..
Well iam on phone now...
Simple solution for u is to use any any existing mod's meta-inf folder in ur mod.

Have a look at a working updater-script and you will see a huge difference
For example you need a command like
Code:
extract_dir
More set perms and mounting/unmounting system. Please check out a "real" updater-script :good:

thats where iv been trying to learn from but its not really explanatory enough for a noob. im just a factory worker lol not a dev all thought id love to be able to do all this. iv read other threds aswell but none of them said anything about the update binery either. i'm probably just not smart enough. i'll keep trying though

Try download some flashable zips and view updater scripts with notepad++
This is the best way to understand how it works.
If I have some time I write a little guide

delete extension
but the best way is open one of the updater-script (download any flashable zip) and edit with notepad++
(be sure you edit with notepad++ othervise you will see status6 error when flashing)
Hey guys I hope you're fine.
I just wanna ask a little a question;If I build a ROM,and would like to add apps on /data,should I add any additional line in updater script?

Not that I know of. The updater-script should take care of flashing the whole folder, not flashing one app at a time. Hope this helps
