[Q] update.zip created but not working - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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

Yes, indeed I do not have update-binary. Where can I get it from? / How can I create one?

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

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.

Revert from custom recovery image to stock recovery image

I have N1 with FRF83, but with custom recovery image and some other customizations.
Since I can't OTA update to FRF91 or even 85b from custom images, how do I revert back to the stock FRF83 completely?
grab a recovery out of one of the passimg files in the dev section and flash it.
Thanks, but I forgot to mention one thing: I am a complete noob.
If you could say it in English, I'd appreciate it

I agree with what you're saying, but all of the PASSIMG files I've downloaded that are linked in this forum and modaco come up saying that the "Compressed (zipped) file is invalid"
Is there another way to unzip these files?? Can someone post all of the original .img files somewhere so that we dont have to continually **** around with all of this ****.
FFS!

They are normal zip-files that work fine. If they are ok at the source the problem is on your end. I've never had a problem with them.
Try one of those from here. The modaco ones are correct too though.
the PASSIMG.zip files aren't actually zip files, they're "nbh" files. You can't open them up
You just put it on the sd card and boot up into bootloader and it auto loads and recovers back to stock.
Great if you have T-Mobile Nexus One since that's what's out there.
There isn't a working AT&T version that I've found.
You can open them up and extract the contents fine.
Thank you so much for this link. I'm a kind of a noob to this android thing to and I'm learning the hard way.

[Q] Will 2.3.4 break root on my N1?

So yesterday I finally found some time to root Gingerbread on my Nexus One. We're moving to Germany from the U.S. in a month and the last couple of weeks I just didn't have any time to get it done. I had my N1 rooted when I was on Froyo and was desperate to root it again on GB.
Last night I set a couple of hours aside to familiarize myself with the GingerBreak exploit and ended up with a rooted N1 and Gingerbread 2.3.3
Here's the funny part... not 30 minutes after rooting I get an OTA notification to update to 2.3.4. Go figure!
Can anyone confirm that 2.3.4 will break root on the N1? If so, will the GingerBreak exploit still work to root GB again?
What would be the preferred/easiest method to upgrade to 2.3.4 and retain root?
2.3.4 will break root. just use the gingerbreak app again and youll be rooted
I figured it would break root but just needed some confirmation!
I didn't actually use the .apk but ran the exploit myself. I think this time around I may just use the .apk though.
Is it confirmed that the app will root 2.3.4?
Just boot into recovery, flash the update as file from SD, and then flash the su zip...

This. Not sure why people are so confused like this. This has been the process since the Nexus One launched.
The new OTA break the root
This morning i have rooted my nexus one and root died.
I am trying Gingerbreak 1.2 after 25 minutes i cancelled it.

All right, let me recap so I'm not missing anything.
1. I download the 2.3.4 update from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061270, rename it update.zip and place it in the root of my SD
2. Then I download the su zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 and also place it in the root of my SD
3. Then I reboot into Clockwork and apply the update.zip
4. Once that's done I DO NOT reboot and apply the su zip
Is that it or am I missing something?
Don't apply it as an update, because your phone will reboot once it's done. If you reboot, you will lose your custom recovery. Use the "install zip from SD" option...
I tried to apply the update as zip from sd card and I got the following error, which seems to have something to do with google books
apply_patch_check(''/system/app/BooksPhone.apk'',numbers and letters
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any ideas? Maybe it is because I had integrate Books into ROM? Any solutions?
Thanks a lot.

I'm getting the same error. I thought maybe it was because I had deleted Google Books from my system apps but after restoring the BooksPhone.apk I still get it. Not sure what the problem is.

this is only for those who havent flashed the un-edited update i guess. I flashed the original update too soon and it removed the root access on my wifes N1. I tried flashing the su last night it didnt work, really frustrating... ahihihihi
I was thinking if I flash the backup on 2.3.3 will that bring back the root access? or at least I can already use Gingerbreak then? ty

To do what? To root? This procedure is to, in this case, update to 2.3.4 from 2.3.3 without loosing root.
Now I have an additional question. I wasn't able to use the original update file from Google, presumably because I had deleted the Google Books app. I kept getting the above-mentioned error.
Just out of curiosity, how could I get Google Books back so the update would run? Just placing it in /system/app didn't seem to work.
Not that it really matters, I used the modified update file that danger-rat posted, but for the future I would like to know how I can avoid this error.

Hi, I have a note with LPM, the latest Taiwan version of 4.0.4, and I tried it anyway.
It seems not working (as expected since LPM isn't listed on the supporting list)

does this mean it worked or no?

Best/Easiest way to update rooted P20 Pro?

There's been several updates I have been unable to install as I am rooted. Is there an easy way to apply updates? Can you unroot, apply updates, then re-root for example? I'm confused about what might be the way. I've seen the debrand thread. But you would still be rooted and therefore unable to apply future updates?
Any advise appreciated

Hurupdater is the simplest solution and I've never had any issues at all.
Did you rename the files correctly?
Did you download the correct files?
Did you put unofficial TWRP .IMG in same directory as the other files and renamed it?
So in total you should have 5 files in one directory. Then just flash hurupdater .zip file in TWRP. That's it.

What can be easier then flashing one file then simply installing an actual official update?
Hu isn't hard I agree but it's certainly not easier then flashing one file.

Yea just flash no check recovery and it'll overlook the twrp recovery when you install the OTA update is system update.
Obviously has to be an official update but that's all the tinkering that's required.
No check is in the files listed in my guide from my Sig.
Funky huawei by far.
