Hello devs...
I'm working on updating the root update.zip's for the Samsung Galaxy S I9000...
But i can't seem to get it to work.
I will include the old working update.zip and the updated update.zip that doesn't work. I really need some help!
The new update.zip applies but after that the phone doesn't seems to be rooted.
I updated Busybox and Superuser in the (new)update.zip

Have you noticed that the old update has both an updater-script and an update-script, but the new update does not? I'm not sure why it would need both, but it makes me wonder if the updater-script is doing anything. I would copy the old update-script into the new update, zip, resign, and try again. Actually, I might even get rid of the updater-script and update-binary. It appears to me that they are just duplicating what the update-script is doing.
Maybe updater-script and update-binary aren't supported? Seems unlikely but who knows...
I know I had a similar problem, but mine stemmed down to there being no 'sh' binary in system.
Try skimming through your recovery.log after applying the update, and do a logcat while trying to use a root feature. Other than that I'm not too sure.

Where can you find for GT9500?
Someone who has done the whole DI01 update, please dump their system for me, or just the framework folder, apparently the one given to me had the stock android lockscreen patch applied to it lol.
Aside from that, the DI01 deodex works perfect, I opt_png'ed and zip_align'ed all the apk's, as well as the framework-res and twframework-res.
I will also need someone who knows how to sign updater-scripts to open the one attached, and just save it again properly and upload it for me. I am trying to get a flashable CW zip but the darn thing always gives me a status 6 error, which means the CW cannot read the updater script.
Sorry for the n00b question, but what benifit does deodexing provide? Also if there is another software update will I have to readd any .apk's to my /system folder?
Why not just flash your own system back to stock, then run the update, then dump /system? If you'd like an update script that doesn't update modem.bin, I already have one.
Assuming you're updating via CWM, why are you signing the zip? You don't need any signature, just zip the file up.
Is there anything involved in a dump besides just copying the files in /system?

Because I am too lazy to go through all that.
I don't need it signed per say. More like opened, edited, and saved properly. It is said it is best to edit the update script in s Linux based environment which I don't have, but that notepad should suffice, yet when I save it with my notepad, I get the error of cw not being able to read it properly.
I have a fresh phone that just got the D101 update. Just need directions on what if anything is involved beyond just getting the /system directory via adb.

That is all I need. The only things I deodex are the contents of system/app and system/framework.

Try a real editor, like bluefish or something.. Those scripts look like sh#! in notepad.
If no one has done it by tonight, just grab me on IRC and I'll do it under Linux for you.
Make sure you've got the file/directory structure right too.. You can't just throw a script in a zip file, but I'm sure you knew that. Myself and and a few others had the wrong directory structure at first, don't remember what error number that gave us though.. I think it just froze.
OK, how can I get it to you? I can't post links or (I think) files yet.

You can just zip it up and upload it to mediafire.com
Just splice up the link like WWW. Website. Com and I will just delete the spaces.
Mediafire upload just not working for some reason. Hm.

hi guys, I have an error that i couldnt find a solution by searching in this forum:
i had a full, stock OLYFR_U4_4.1.83 image SBF'd, rooted it, WIFI&tether enabled and sideloading enabled. Also I believe HDMI mirror AND/OR used the Webtop Mod that doesnt require the docking bay. my problem is now, that i get the OTA update to 4.5.91 (about 161 MB), but at reboot-install i get the error
error in /cache/blur_version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US.zip
status 7
install aborted
I did the WebTop Restore Mod and I *BELIEVE* its put back to "stock"but I am not 100% sure.
can somebody please point me in the right direction to fix this so OTA can be applied ? In addition are there certain things to be considered that I have used the GingerBreak Mod for Root access before the OTA upgrade to 4.5.91 ?
thx-a-thon
cheers

imhaving the same issue! Help please!
If I am not mistaken you cannot pull and apply the OTA via the Software update function if you have modified anything in the /system directory. I had a problem because I changed by bootanimation, which got me in a boot loop when trying to install the update. I ended up unlocking via pudding and flashing the 2.3.4 update... You could also update via MSU (Motorola Software Update) via the Motorola Support site..
Edit: Are you using Stock recovery to try to install the update?
Im getting the same error, i think it's because i messed with the bootanimation.zip to remove the default at&t logo... How do I restore that damn logo?
The name of the file which the install/update fails on is in the error. Replace it with the stock apk and you'll be good. It helps to know what mods modified what system file apk's so you can reverse the changes. dockservice.apk, the odex files and portalapp.apk all stopped me from updating OTA; but once I restored factory apk's in the system app path I was good to go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342&page=1
use that .zip to extract any files that you modified. I don't know if that will work but you can try.
It will work as long as all the modified apks are replaced and it is made easier by the fact the ota update tells you which apk or odex file is failing the install.

Status 1 Error:
"Well this is one of the most rarest error that a person can get...but with my experience I came to know that this occurs because you don't have correct permissions set. Use correct perms in updater-script and done "
Grab another rom that is the same base you are using and look at the META-INF/com/google/android folder which contains the updater script and binary to use as your reference points. Compare and contrast yours with that one.

can i use another rom's updater script in my rom which has same base??
Should be able to. Wouldn't hurt to look at the differences though so then you can understand what things affect the install to help build knowledge.

i tried to replace updater script but not working
i also have tried to compare set perms but i am unable to find fault in it
@es0tericcha0s
please tell me what to do??
Sorry, that was my main idea. Are you getting the same error code? Did you unzip and re-zip the rom? If so, you should use an archive manager like 7zip to move the update script into the zip without needing to unzip the whole thing, otherwise you'll break the signature on the rom and have to re-sign it.

Not all phones have adb access while in a bootloop. But to do so you would need adb set up on your computer, change directories to the adb folder (or if it's enabled globally, then where ever), and type:
adb logcat
You'll want to save it somewhere like:
http://pastebin.com/
and upload the link.
I am not skilled at reading logcats, so not sure if I can be of any more help after that.
If you don't have adb set up already, then just use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
