recently, i ported a cm7 rom. I forgot to included some stuff and I just want to make a update.zip to flash these folders to the system.
The folders are the app, media, and fonts. I also want to flash build.prop. I want to make the update.zip because I dont want to flash the whole rom over again. How do a make the updater script to do so
Check this. If you wish, you can do this manually, only search here for "flashable recovery zip" or "flashable cwm zip", there are several guides.

Hi, I want to create my own custom rom, I've finish them, but I've a problem.
I don't know how to pack all the files in a flashable zip, I've make a zip with 7-zip but when I try to install it, recovery say "Installation Aborted".
Someone can explain to me how to create the zip? I've an good experience on android but I haven't already create a flashable zip...
Thanks!
Would not have a clue my friend but by reading the following threads your best bet is to go to the following links

Have a look at those links and those are the best options you have to create your own rom. Enjoy
It is possible to make a simple tutorial for me, I'm french and that's too hard to understand for me. I just need to pack in a zip file flashable. Thanks you .
Wouldn't there need to be a script to tell CW what to do with the files in the package/how to install them, etc ?
I wouldn't have a clue how to do this BTW, I'm just thinking logically around what I know about the way CW works so far as installing roms/kernels goes.

Thanks, but we can't pack a rom with cwm if that's what you want to say.

still check those links i gave you above. there must be a solution or guide to tell you how to pack a rom once you are finished putting everything together.my guess is that you do need an updater script and updater binary script something like that..check on those two links and have a look..or zip the rom using powerarchiver if you are on windows
just head over to http://perka.zapto.org and look for a empty system cwm.
Now you just have to make folders in this zip and add your files. example you want framework-res.apk and systemui.apk flashed.
So open the cwm zip and add a folders called app and a folder called framework.
The zip will be/system and so with the folders it creates /system/framework/framework-res.apk and system/app/SystemUI.apk.
You can just take the signatures from the zip and add them in your future zips or just keep copying this one.
The update script shows the screens on install so change text in there and it will show on install.
Or there is a guide to Edify Scripting here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265120
hello guys. i want crate a .zip file for flash custom file like font but when i want flash it cmw says: aborted. what i do?
You've changed the zip-file? Or not?
Maybe try to redownload the file and try again.
Which rom and kernel are you on now? And which one do you try to flash?
You'll need a updater script and updater binary for your OS version.. Try to get any from one of the many forums
The META-INF Folder already has those files, so in ur case just add ur files into that zip and remove the ones from the existing mods..
Hi everyone,
I want to eventually create an edited ROM for an Android tablet. (Very simple stuff, really. Removing apks, adding build.prop mods)
I have a working update.zip file, which re-installs the image on the tablet, through stock recovery and the install from sdcard option.
But once I unzip it,
and then zip and even re-sign it (with the tool I found by searching the forum),
the recovery says 'installation aborted', when it is verifying the package.
1. How can I avoid this from happening? I get it that closing the update.zip is done wrong. How can I pass the verification section?
2. It IS possible to push such a .zip through stock recovery, right? I want to avoid CWM and TWRP and make it as simple as possible.
Thanks.
Have you tried making the changes without the unzip-rezip step? Editing the zip contents directly inside the zip (just drag n drop, delete, etc).

I tried this, too.
I only deleted one apk from system/app and later I tried again by deleting the apk and its odex file, too.
In both cases, instead of rejecting the update instanlty, it starts the process and then stops after a few seconds.
IS it possible that there is a filesize checker text inside the image?
(or maybe a propery inside the build.prop or updater-script ?)
Any ideas, anyone?
Still no progress.
I am trying to avoid custom recovery,
(I guess that would involve re-compiling it - which I do not know how to do - or ... just asking so from someone?)

No
Stock recovery doesn't flash custom roms
Get cwm from builder.recovery.com
Press thanks :good: I'd helped :highfive:
I had been trying to make a custom ROM or porting a ROM for Micromax Canvas A 96. It has only one custom ROM found in 'needrom' site. As the stock ROM is in a format suitable for SP Flashtool , I wanted to make a CWM flashable ROM in zip format, so that porting will be easier. For this purpose I need 'METAINF' Folder with updater script. So, after searching I came across a guide on 'Converting boot.img +system.img' to CWM flashable zip ROM. I followed it and used android kitchen and got a ROM in zip in the output folder which I re-named (during working on 'cygwin' window). Now I checked it by extracting with 'Express zip' windows software, and it says " The zip is corrupted or encrypted or empty or in an incompatible format'. Now, I do not know how to go about it. Please help me.
After a failed online nandroid backup recovery I just shake my head.... not again. Don't want to flash stock rom, root, custom recovery flash path again!
So, I really like to create a flashable rom from my old backup. I just lack the meta-inf.
All these make flashable threads say get the meta-inf folder from any rom. I don't think that it is THAT easy.
(I tried a Meta-inf from a custom rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-noble-rom-t3403867/page19#post69117710
, but during zipping I get an error that it could not create something....)
Where can I get a working meta-inf file for Samsung S5 G901F, that I do not need to alter or just works?
Thanks you very much.
