Updater-Script Status 0 Error Help? - Android

Hey folks,
Need some help with flashing my own ROM using kitchen.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII LTE (i9210t). Australian phone with Telstra.
The kitchen program works fine, I can compile the ROM to a zip file etc, but when I try and flash it, it gives me an error message:
E:Error in /sdcard/rom.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I read about update-script and updater-script.
When I use update-script in the ROM, it tells me that I need to use updater-script and gives me an error message.
When I use updater-script in the ROM, it gives me the Error Message above (Status 0)
Anyone know how to help me?

---

How are you getting the script? What recovery do you have? What program are you using to pack the zip? Also, please attach the script to your post, just give it a .txt extension.

Status 0 is due to incorrect update-binary.
Try replacing it with the one UOT kitchen uses.

Thanks for your replies guys.

I changed the binary before I went to bed last night and it gave me a status 7 error :silly:
Getting closer though, learning as I go!

I'm getting the script from dsixda's kitchen and that's what I'm using to pack the zip.

---

Compare your updater-script with some other working rom of your phone... then make the necessary changes...

Ok, thanks for the advice, I'll give that a go and let you know how I get on with it.

---

How do I know what changes need to be made?

---

Use the binary which gives status 7 error and in updater script delete 2,3,4th lines and put there these lines
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
delete_recursive("/system");
and flash
And yeah, use Notepad++ to edit updater script

Could it be something to do with busy box?
this is what the end of the error report says...

No idea what that means but it looks like the ROM was installing fine until that point.

Well, I had the same error when I was trying to build AOSP for my phone... But replacing the update-binary with one from cyanogenmod solved the problem..I think you should give it a try...

---

Yep, happened to me too. Replacing with "other working" update-binary solved the problem.

---

Thanks for your help guys.
I tried replacing the update-binary with Nutterpc's update-binary and that's what gave me the status 7 error.
He has a stripped version of the i9210t stock rom that flashes fine.
I used his ROM as a base and i can tweak it and flash it with no problems, however, flashing just doesn't play nice when I use the official stock firmware as a base.
I suppose I could just help him out with his ROM if he needs it, but at the minute, I'm going to try and teach myself ROM development from scratch. Got experience with Java & Python so wish me luck! :good:
