Is there someone still interested in Tattoo's SPL?

Since we have rooted it now SPL seems to be useless.
----
Well, this is the original SPL image on Tattoo, nothing related to update.zip.
----
I was trying to reverse it, and just found why it refuses to erase, but I could not find why it refuses to download data from the host.
----
By now, to flash SPL or the first splash, you need a custom kernel with additional partition information and then use flash_image is OK.

Original post:
Now you are going to sign the zip file. Download attached testsign.zip and copy it in your <SDK>/tools folder. Extract it here. It should create a sign subfolder with a testsign.jar file in it.
Then, from <workdir> folder, do:
java -classpath <SDK>/tools/sign/testsign.jar" testsign file.zip file-signed.zip
Ok, now your zip file is ready to be deployed using cyanogen recovery image.

[Q] [HELP]Creating update packages for {GOT,Open}Recovery

Hi!
I have tried to create my own update for Milestone, unfortunately I can't get it to work. I copied the test updates from OpenRecovery and edited the update-script but it did not work.
I copied over test-update-or.zip and unpacked it, then I threw my stuff into the system and modified the bash script in META-INF. The whole thing look like this:
And when I try to apply this, I get:
Code:
(...) Using default updater...
E:Error in /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates/moj-update.zip

What am I doing wrong?

attach your update.zip file so we can have alook will make it easier for helping

Here you go, thanks in advance

bumping form the depths of hell and because I'm too lazy to keep note of what changes I do each reflash

ok well first of all your directory structure doesnt seem good , meta-inf and other folders needs to be in the root of the zip file .
I suggest you grab latest CM6 by kabaldan and copy what hes doing and replace files .
good luck

[Q] Gingerbread Update Issues - Need AmazonMP3 APK

Hi!
Can someone help me by uploading the .apk of Amazon Mp3 from FRG83G?
I deleted the app a while ago and Gingerbread update won't proceed unless it is present
Thanks!

Are you rooted? If so it's not going to work. U uploaded it and it went missing? Confused.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

If you install the apk, would it still not go into the /data partition?
I think Geo mentioned that install the Amazon MP3 from the market won't work because the install would go into the /data partition and not in the /system partition as originally shipped with the ROM.

I had removed the Amazon app too. Could someone please upload the com.amazon.mp3.apk
from frg83d?
I wouls then be able to restore it with root explorer.

I just copyied an .apk from FRF91 but it didn't work either. I've got an error again:
assert_failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk", ""ff8ad0f610cfdd4a632567bd823d3a659421aa44", "c2a88c45aa6e99c0a0062620c5d2618ea620ef53")

[Q] Gingerbread 2.3.3 update problem on Nexus One! - Need AmazonMP3
Trying to update my Nexus with 2.3.3 update, but I deleted the Amazon MP3 apk ages ago, and the 2.3.3 update fails trying to patch it.
Can someone PLEASE email me the apk (and path) from a Froyo FRG83G Nexus One, so that I can put it back? An APK from any build might help! [email protected].
Thank you so much in advance

Just installing that file didnt help Still getting the same error. Can anyone help? Is it a location issue? How to get it back into its original location?

Get this file:
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-ota-43546.cc653ee4.zip
Extract com.amazon.mp3.apk
copy it into /system/app/
you're done.
Code:
- type 'adb remount'
- type 'adb push com.amazon.mp3.apk /system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk'
(you need to be root to write to /sys/apps)

It Works!

THANK YOU If anyone else is doing this. You need to download the file (http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1288197512_Amazon_MP3_1.8.29.apk) and then rename it to com.amazon.mp3.apk.
Once renamed, use adb to push it to /system/app.
It works, I've updated to Gingerbread, and I'm VERY VERY happy
Thanks, Steve

Look for update zip creator.. I cant find the link. There is a wizard which helps you create a update.zip

[Q] Relative Newbie Question on updating to 4.3

Hi All,
I'm relatively new to Android (had the Nexus 7 for about a year). My questions is this:
I have 4.2.2 currently loaded. When I orinally got the nexus 7, I used a toolkit to unlock the bootloader and root the device, so I could install SixAxis and a few other apps that required root.
What is the easiest way for me to now update to 4.3? Will the OTA update that is bound to show up on the device shortly work?
BTW This is the WiFi only Nexus 7, 16 GB and my main PC at home is a Mac.
Thanks.

Do you have a link of a guide that I could follow on how to flash the factory image?
Can I download the zip and then use the clockwork recovery i have installed to load the zip?

I don't think that having the bootloader locked or unlocked will really affect the OTA..
Am I right or am I right?

I dont think having it unlocked will effect the ota (it hasnt in the past for me), but it sounded like he wanted to flash the factory image. I actually have a nandroid of it on my unlocked n7. Gonna flash the official and see if I can get the ota later...

I've taken OTAs no problem on an unlocked, rooted device with TWRP recovery. So you're fine.

So I downloaded what I believe to be the right file, ab67ca07c4b2e03eca795ada10ff041b77fbb7bf.signed-nakasi-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.ab67ca07 (1).zip.
I then reboot my nexus 7 into clockworkmod revovery and select install zip, choose zip from sdcard, browse to the aboev file but then get an error:
It ends in (Status 7) Installation aborted.
What am I missing?

Also, just tried via adb sideload and that didn't work either.

Did you install the aosp browser and rename the default browser apk and odex files or modify the buildprop file? Those must be as original to take the update. Also, you should have gotten a message about what failed when you get the Status 7 error. What else did it say?

No to all of the above. I don't know what odex files or buildprop file would refer to, so I defintely haven't modified them.

Does it make a difference that my current build number in "about tablet" shows as JDQ39 and not JDFQ39 as above?

The problem file is 'debuggerd' in the /system/bin folder as it says in the error message. I had the same issue previously on the last N7 update. I had to get the original file from someone since the file had been replaced by another app (possibly Stickmount) or it can be extracted from the previous update to 4.2.2. I don't know about the JDFQ39 compared to the download file showing JDQ39, but that is the same file I downloaded. The (1).zip means you had previously downloaded the file and this is an additional d/l. That shouldn't be a problem, but you can delete the (1) if you want.
I'll try flashing through CWM and let you know if mine worked. If so, I can send you the right 'debuggerd' file.

Ok great. I do have stickmount installed...

Well, I got the debuggerd error also. I'll try the backup debuggered file I used in the last update. Otherwise, I'll have to find the debuggerd file from 4.2.2. Any help out there?

Still no joy. I think someone will have to get the right debuggerd file and get it to one us on a pm or email. Also, I noticed on my update try that the file was listed as JDQ39. ... and not the JDFQ39. ... that you saw.

once we get the file, how do I replace the file with the debuggerd that is currently on the nexus?

What I will do is to copy the debuggerd file to the N7 internal storage root folder from my pc. Then I will rename /system/bin/debuggerd to debuggerd.bak (or whatever extension you want to add). Then I will copy the correct debuggerd file from sdcard to /system/bin and try the update again. I started a new thread asking for someone with an unaltered 4.2.2 debuggerd file to send it to me. If I get it I'll pass it along to you.

Are you using a tool like ES File Manager to do the moving and renaming of files etc?
