Hi... I am trying to cook my rom with DSIXDA cygwin
but when I Build Rom and try flashing it with CWM:
first try flashing
1. ROM I get the error "mount expects 4 args got 3
ok I know what it means...
so I copy 'mtd-update-binary' to /META-INF/com/google/android as "update-binary".
2nd try flashing
I got Error Status 0
so I copy 'emmc-update-binary' to /META-INF/com/google/android as "update-binary".
3rd try flashing
I got error status 7
try copy another file and rename it to update binary
4th try flashing
error status 7
or maybe my updater scipt is wrong
I really dont have a clue right now...
Rebuild your updater script....and if you cooking a stock rom.....
U shouldn't need to change the updater-script.....oh and if your using the kitchen....use the check for update-script errors (you need to convert edify to amend first)
Edit: and if your getting status 7....that is an issue with system/build.prop and status 0 is you didn't sign correctly

I think you got the first thing itself wrong.
Btw, which device?
Checking the updater-script:
You neee to input four arguments here perhaps:
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");

Yeah I am trying to cook a stock rom... usually I used the stockrom updater script... but now I am trying to add /data/app functionality and add /etc/init.d script support... I guess my stockrom updater scrpt is no longer valid... isn't it

LG optimus black...
in previous (that works) updater script i thinks it's an EMMC
Maybe not "userdata" , but probably "dev/block/*insert data partition number code here*"

guys I think I solved the problems
I change this following script:
from:
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
to:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "userdata", "/data");
and from:
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
to
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "system", "/system");
and delete
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
I hope it works fine...

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.

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

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...

thanks I got it working
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 ?

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.

My Goal is to build a Custom Rom for my Oneplus 3 based on OxygenOS sadly I am a total noob so I thought I could steal some parts from FreedomOS (based on Aroma).XD
The Aroma Installer is very annoying for me (imho) so I modified the Script that it should just flash through without opening the Aroma Installer....
Sadly this isn't the Case:
It flashes until it should extract the system.new.dat File and there TWRP loads to infinity :/,
because I found no Solution I removed this Part and flashed it over again...(the next thing that came up was "Starting Aroma Installer" and then it errored.... -> It reads the Update-Binary ?)(the Error was something like failed to start Aroma exiting now...)
I already opened Update-Binary in Notepad++ but there is just a lot of crap that no Human can read......
Is the Update-Binary unique to every Device or is there a Solution that works for everything like the updater-script ?
Can someone help me getting this Rom to work ???
:crying:
Thank in advance for reading my crappy English
Lucas

Please share your result:
1. Is the `update-binary` dependent on the device?
2. Is there any `update-binary` available to work with adb sideload feature of the device with no custom recovery.
3. Is it will work if device has bootloader unlocked but it is not rooted?
4. Is following script is valid :
Code:
format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
ui_print("Format Completed");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_file("system.img", "/system");
unmount("/system");
I will be very thankful to you if you can answer any of the question :angel:.
Hi guys
Is it possible to make a fresh 'update-binary' file that is located in 'META-INF/com/google/android' or will an existing file previously downloaded from these forums work?
I am simply making a zip that debloats some app from the Lineage OS ROM and also installs some APK's to the system partition but would like to know if I should be using the latest 'update-binary' as I've already got two on my PC but they differ in size and when opened up with a file archive viewer, one does contain more file/directories than the other.
Many thanks
Will

Both will work if those are worked in past......
If you see ZipMe update binary it is only 186kb...but works well....

Will it work on my Samsung S10 5G (Qualcomm) device with following things:
1. Not rooted.
2. Bootloader unlocked.
3. Created following script to flash `system.img` file on `system` partition:
Code:
format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
ui_print("Format Completed");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_file("system.img", "/system");
unmount("/system");

Update binary have to be choosed according to your arch arm, x86, mips.
Also system.img is need to be a raw image instead of sparse one.
You need to flash that system.img to partition block location only, not to /system.

I was trying to flash it with the `adb sideload` feature which requires signing a zip. So, I can't run this update-script.
