You can't.
Which recovery are you using and which image are you trying to flash?

By signing the rom then just install it.

I was going to say that but reasoned that if the zip isn't even signed, it must've been created by someone so spectacularly incompetent it's best left alone.

Just wondering f pi could download a Rom from your phone delete the old update with astro and then change The name of the Rom to update and wipe and flash. Would this work because it could be helpful when your on the road or vacation.

Yea, any file explorer could be used.
Rename the downloaded update to update.zip and reflash
You got it!

Or... flash the new cyanogen 1.4 recovery which can flash any zip (with proper ROM ofc). No need to rename any more.

oh yeah .. ^ better option ^
Yup, I did it the other day while at a coffeeshop. Downloaded a new rom and reflashed.
Although it would suck if something went wrong while you were out and about and needed to get to a PC to fix it.

As long as you keep a failsafe rom on your sdcard, you can fix pretty much anything from the recovery console.

What i did was:
- install the original FRF91 (search the forums, you will find the link)
- install (from recovery or OTA) the update
The last step also put the stock recovery on and that was it ...

what is this
Hi there,
I tried to create an update.zip file to install a simple app.
I followed the instructions on this forum, but for some reason while rebooting, the phone is saying:
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
Any idea why?
update.zip is signed, update-script in the proper place in the META-INF tree...
Thx for help,
Michal

Download my Root Package for JPK and decompress update.zip:
http://www.multiupload.com/ULQEGKORBE
update-script should be updater-script.
Maybe you've forgotten updater-binary?

1. Its wrong section to post, you should use Q&A for these kind of queries
2. You didn't mention your OS version or any ROM details, people can't help you with these kind of request and you might end up bricking your phone
3. I strongly suspect that you are running Froyo with 3e updater which does not allow you to use self signed zips. You need to downgrade it to 2e. Can't help you much unless you give more details about your OS and ROM.
Thank you very much for your help

update-script is for clockworkmod recovery and updater-script and the binary is for stock recovery
You can pretty much find updater-script and the recovery in any update.zip's that are being used on the SGS
thanks for your help:
1. yes, the missing binary file was one of the issues
2. I used the one in the update.zip file distributed
Hello everyone,
I have a rooted Motorola Droid, running Android version 2.2. I downloaded a .APK file, and whenever I try to install it, it gives me a message saying "Parse error." This is a .APK that has worked on all my previous rooted phones, does anyone know how to fix this? By the way, I've already enabled unknown sources.

If you're installing from the SD Card using a file manager, maybe try redownloading. If the same apk installs on a later android version then it mean it's not available for Android 2.2.
You could try installing a custom rom. There's not many to choose from but they work.

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't work. I'm trying to stay as stock rom as possible.

If the .apk installed on a later android version then my guess it's not compatible.

Is it the OTA update or the actual full firmware?
IF its just the OTA package, we can still use that, all we have to do is flash the preceding firmware with ODIN and then use recovery to flash the OTA zip.
Upon closer inspection, it's just the update package. I can upload it somewhere, but probably not necessary. Downloaded from here with a tip from another thread:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe" --user-agent="SAMSUNG-Android" --no-check-certificate "https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/42925/1488/SS-G900AUCS4DPH4-to-U4DQA1-UP"
How do I make this into a zip that can update via recovery?
edit: this is probably faster than downloading via Samsung: https://goo.gl/jGt7TO

Literally all you have to do is put ".zip" at the end of the filename. Its just a zip file without the extension.
Sweet! Thanks for the tip.

It shouldn't... then again I had one OTA flash that half-flashed and then wiped everything so its a good idea to back up your important stuff
Bummer...wiped. Not a huge deal as I had a backup, but to anyone else following: this wipes everything.
Added QA1 - QB1 update here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...les-tested-update-to-marshmallow-ph2-t3450223
This WILL wipe your data when you flash this using recovery.
