Then you have a syntax error in your updater-script, easy as that.

never mind it. Thanks for trying to help

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

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.

[?] How do you "sign" a .zip file?

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.

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.

There is no need to resign it, it will work just fine. And instead of flashing it, you can just push it with adb:
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
Oh Okay Thank You v.much will post back if it works
Sorry Kind of noobish how do i do that to my device ????

You go to android.com and download the SDK. Inside that zip is a folder called tools, and in that you have the adb.exe. Connect your phone to your computer, and type the command from my previous post.
Thank-You Will post up a pic when updates finished
It tells me that it's a read-only system file ???
'adb remount' first
THANK-YOU
I got it working but i changed my rom to a sence rom so i edited some different pictures and will hopefully make more gold / or different soon Thanks

[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
(Status 4)
Installation aborted
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

Installing UOT Kitchen theme error?

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..

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".
