ZipSigner - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi....
I want to know that if your TWRP or CWM verfies signature correctly when it enabled... in the case of signed the zip with test-key using ZipSigner or other signing apps in android......

For me , I hadn't any problem with zip signature .
When I used to make flashable zip , I was a newbie and I took a flashable zip template (with cert and everything in it). It worked perfectly every time ?.
I didn't needed to sign them anymore , I just used the META-INF folder in the template every time , and I compressed the folders to zip .
But I don't remember if the signature verification was enabled

Pack a custom rom

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227549
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133846
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

Status 0, Installation aborted Error

Well here is what I did
1) Decompiled Settings.apk
2) Edited PNG's
3) Recompiled Settings.apk
4) Signed APK
5) Made a flashable zip (using a sample flashable zip file, just put my Settings.apk in System/app folder and nothing else)
6) Signed the flashable zip
But when I flash in CWM, it gives me Status 0/Installation aborted errors
Tried the other way
1) Opened Settings.apk using 7-zip
2) Updated PNG's
3) Made a flashable zip (same way as above)
But when flashing result is the same, some say this error is related to update-script but I didn't change anything.
Any help?
Try replacing the meta inf files from some other working zip.. Try disabling signature verification also

[guide][ META-INF] Fix All status errors On all zip's

-This is An edited meta-inf can fix all status errors on all Zip's
-Are you having problem while flashing a zip?
If yes this is the perfect way to get it fixed follow all steps to fix your issue
-I make this threat originally for cm11 but then I downloaded a zip and it won't be flashed so I tried replacing the meta-inf folder and it works
-Method for all zip's:
1.extract the zip , and copy your updater scripts to this directory of my meta-inf. meta-inf/com/Google/android here
2.now but the meta-inf into the zip that you want to flash using Rar for android or winrar on PC
3.now recompile the zip with new meta-inf
4.now just follow the instructions of flashing the file
5.you are done now
-Method for cm11 rc13 update :
i tried flashing this update and I doesn't work I tried replacing the meta inf with the previous method but didn't work too so I created this new method only for cm11 rc13
-this update is a patch and it will work only on a clean rc12 update
If you get an error while verifying or any error after replacing the meta-inf this means that you need to reflash rc12 update without any wipes and then flash the rc13 update and it will work

-I am making this threat to help people having issues with cm11 installation
-so here I have uploaded a meta-inf folder witch will make any version of cm11 flash able via cwm 5/6/and philz touch and fix for all status errors
-Note: this meta-inf doesn't have any updater scripts you have to add the cm11 updater scripts by your self which can be founded on the directory /Meta-inf/com/Google/android/ on the ROM package
Just copy it to the same directory of my meta-inf and replace the meta-inf folder inside the package using winrar on PC or Rar on android and now just go to cwm 5/6 or philz touch and flash the update and voilla status errors gone this method is for all RCS from 1-12
-Method for rc13 update :this update is a patch and it will work only on rc12 update without any modification for the system files
If you get an error while verifying build.prop or any error after replacing the meta-inf this means that you need to reflash your ROM without any wipes just flash the ROM zip and then flash the rc13 update and it will work
Tested on:
-Galaxy ace cooper running rc12 and with Philz touch recovery
-Galaxy ace cooperve running rc12 with cwm 5 recovery
-Downloads:
Rar for android: http://www.apk4fun.com/apps/com.rarlab.rar/

Signing a update.zip for recovery flashing

So I have a zip that I would like to sign so I no longer have to uncheck the verify zip signature in TWRP.
I tried signing the zip with autosign and apk-zipsigner1.2 both using the "test key"
And I keep getting signature verification error.
Does anyone know how to sign a zip?
For reference the zip in question places a file in the : system\vendor\firmware\ aka this is a Ducati video firmware revert zip.
