hi all,
I tried to create an theme for the new 20N rom(lite, deodexed) so i copied SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk to my PC and uploaded them to UOT Kitchen.
In UOT Kitchen i start choosing icons etc (settings.uot in attatchment) and tried flashing it but when i do i get an error:
Code:
E: Error in /sdcard/theme.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
(tried Update-binary = MTD and Optimus)
PLEASE HELP!
EDIT: Forgot to click the sumbit work to kitchen so downloaded someone others file
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. Unzip your ROM and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. Put this file in the UOT zip (overriding UOT's file)
from: http://uot.dakra.lt/how_to/
I'm having problems too.
I get this error
E:Can't open /sdcard/Download/Andrew-2.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Please help.
Andrew-2.zip is the second theme I made. The first one I made also got the same error. I replaced the binary file thing the one above me said.

It is in the flashable zip file of your rom
That's weird. I got the cooked zip to install on my OB. Im on Zeus v3n. It flashed fine and everything was working besides the status bar and notification. I still haven't found a workaround for that..

Eh I'm using the stock rom... anyway it wasn't the problem but the script editing (had to put it to "Type Optimus") Everything worked then

At Uot Kitchen's website. At file upload section. Under the "Select flashable zip scripting" part you can choose update-binary type. Never forget to set it to "Type optimus".

I grabbed a ROM from here and deleted some unwanted apps, and added a couple that I wanted so I wouldnt have to do it after I flashed and zipped it back up. When going to flash it to my phone I get a "E: No signature (830 files)... E: Verification failed. Installation aborted."
Im very new to all this so please dont flame me. Is it simple enough to sign & verify it so I can flash it, or will I have to flash the original and uninstall the unwanted apps via adb?
Thanks in advance.

Just to add a little more info if your using someone elses updatezip make sure you delete the apks sha1 or anything else you aren't using out of the manifest. also avabox works great. all in one tool for signing apps unyaffs and so fourth

You need to zip the contents of the rom folder, and not the folder itself. Go into the ROM folder, select all the files (system, boot.img, meta-inf, etc) and zip it that way. Then, sign THAT zip, and you're good to go.

delete the META-INF folder before signing.

Tried it. Still no go. =\
I think the APK needs to use the same signature as the update.zip when signing... at least that's what I read from somewhere.
Hmm, well, sheet.

lol just busting your balls but that is strange... dxi's idea sounds correct though since there is a "verification" error

Nope... that's why a rom can contain signed files from many sources.
@Paul: did you decode -> replace -> encode -> sign or insert into zip -> resign?
Oh, and I assume is an Eclair version?

Not sure what you mean by decode/encode. I replaced the png files, signed the framework apk, and replaced the framework apk in the update.zip from Docrambone.

Did you re-sign the update.zip after adding the APK back to it?

No. The auto-sign says it will sign the only apk in the folder, so it wouldn't even see the update.zip.

Hmmm ok, so now I am confused, I thought we had to sign the update.zip each time it changes.
If you can get it working, let us know what you did..
MOD EDIT - Moved to Q&A
Paul22000 said:

Ahh... yes, you need to sign the zip as well...
Code:
java -jar signapk.jar <your_cert.x509.pem> <your_key.pk8> <input_file_name.zip> <output_file_name.zip>
If you're using test keys it will be...
Code:
java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 <input_file_name.zip> <output_file_name.zip>
If you run this in the same directory that you ran signapk.bat in then this will work as well.
So your procedure:
Edit apk
Delete META-INF folder
Re-sign apk
Add re-signed apk to update.zip package
Sign update.zip package as above
EDIT: Oh, are you reusing an existing update.zip file?? No, don't do that. Perhaps reuse the script but just create a new zip and replicate the required directory structure, drop your files in (including the script) and sign it. If you must reuse the zip then delete all of the certificate files in the meta-inf directory but don't delete the folder structure where the update-script lives.

No?
I mean, you do recognise this line: copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM: from your update.zip? Or is that somebody else's original zip? It's a wonder it ever worked. Nevertheless, have a look inside the one I attached and you'll see what I mean... /META-INF/com/google/android/update-script

Aren't the frameworks different from 2.1u1 to 2.2? I'm almost sure they'd be different with all the changes in FroYo.

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...

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
Hey guys, I've looked around and haven't found any reason why I SHOULD'NT be able to flash a custom theme from the Ultimate Online Kitchen, so I'm posting for suggestions as to why I am getting this error when trying to flash this... here is the error message I keep getting:
Installing update...
E:Error in /sdcard/Flashing/Themes/UOT-08-25-17-41-1.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I also tried flashing it from the root of the SD card with the same results.
At the kitchen I am using the Type MTD (default) update binary...
Looking forward to your suggestions, maybe I have my settings wrong in the kitchen
From the how-to page:
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. Unzip your ROM and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. Put this file in the UOT zip (overriding UOT's file)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I saw that in the How TO section and tried different ways:
1: Just dragging the file (update-binary)to root of the zip
2: Navigating in the zip to where the update-binary is and dropping it in there
3: Unpacking the zip and placing the file in the root of the zip
4: Unpacking the zip and replacing the file in the zip with the one from my rom
They all yield the same results (I'm pullin' my hair out) because the 2nd technique should've worked
did you ever figure out how to make this work?
My bad fellas, I should've posted back that I got this resolved...
I eventually downloaded a fresh copy of my ROM, unzipped the entire thing instead of just dragging out the file I needed.
I then deleted the file I was replacing with the one I got from my ROM and it went fine (after about 10 tries).
I also flashed my recovery to my phone and the amss and the dsp1...
Anyway, now I'm a cookin' fool changing themes every other day
