Flashable zip - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I finally learnt something and started modding my phone.
I have a flashable zip with the folders of my systemUI.apk
And the META-INF folder with this script:
"
Show_progress 0. 1 0
Copy_dir PACKAGE:systen SYSTEM:
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:app
Show_progress 0. 1 10
"
Does anyone know if this will flash properly?

update script syntax error

can someone tell me why the hell this:
Code:
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
show_progress 0.1 10
is giving me syntax errors?
I also tried:
Code:
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
show_progress 0.2 10
I'm about to pull my hair out.
these are the only lines in the script. nothing else. All I'm going si copying stuff to the /system/app directory. WTF????

Do you have a /system folder in you zip? I know it's a dumb question, but.....I'm just asking...
lol, yeah! i know, check all the easy stuff, but this really should be working...
at first i was trying to so a /system/app and a /data/app, but that kept getting the syntax error. Then, I modified it to be just /system/app/, but it still won't work.
BUMP! for my 10chars

A quick update-script question

Hi there,
I am building a .zip file that will install RTL support for some applications , and got stuck at the update-script part.
I have two files named CalendarFix.apk , and GalleryFix.apk , I would like to install them directly from the recovery.
Tried to put them both in system/app and data/app with :
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:app
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:app
But no luck , they wont install .
Is there a command that I need to use to install them ?
I thought to use run_program , though I did`nt see it in any rom update-script code.
I need to -
Extract CalendarFix.apk and GalleryFix.apk , delete the old once (Calendar.apk,Gallery.apk) and install the new once .
Any help would be appreciated,
Danny.

Fantastic , I managed to work that out.
Thanks.

Assistance required in recovery creation

I need the following directories of a stock phone (no custom recovery/boot applied):
Tar it up and send them my way.
/.info
/lib
/lib/modules
/res
/res/images
/sbin
/sbin/images
Any files found in the / (root) directory.
my phone is stock minus the apps I've removed. I don't know how to copy this info but I will be happy to figure it out and get it done if no one else is already doing this.
If rooted is alright, let me know and I will get you what you need.
What is the best way to get the files to you?
What program can get that information on a stock vibrant? Or would we need root?
Sent from my Vibrant using xda app
I think you need at least root to have busybox installed that gives you the cp function but I could be wrong.
Without root which busybox comes with.. I don't know that the software allows a copy feature.
If nobody gets them to you by the time I get home from work then I will pull them for you.

pulling as I type
EDIT: ok, I was able to pull everything except /mnt, /info, and /sd-ext. I have the .tgz file. where do I send it? it's over 300mb
jroid did you just make a new folder with
mkdir then use cp of those requested folders? Newbie just trying to make sure I'm doing something the best way.
thanks

/mnt my terminal said it was pulled, but the folder i extracted it to didn't show anything. so i'm assuming it didn't pull. Thanks

no I adb pulled everything seperately
Koush,
I can help you. But, when i try to adb pull these things. Esp in proc. the process just stops.
If i remove proc from the list. the it pulls some then just reboots
Is there a special way to do so?
Thanks
I went and trimmed down what I need to just this following list:
/.info
/lib
/lib/modules
/res
/res/images
/sbin
/sbin/images
That should make the resultant package less than 20mb. Let me know!
A raw dump of the boot area would also help (this is completely safe, just type it properly):
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/bml7.img
Then send me /sdcard/bml7.img

OLD: dd if=/dev/block/bml7 out=/sdcard/bml7.img
NEW: Should be dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/bml7.img
Here you go.
Don't know if this is what you want but I thought I'd throw you completely stock no root up here... Astro let me copy them no problems.
img of course can't be made without root

Awesome! Can you also send me the files in the root directory? Ie, init.rc, recovery.rc, and whatever else you find?
here you go
thanks for the hard work.. heres mine

The directory structure isn't preserved in this properly (seems all mashed together). All I need now is the files in the root directory!

Well, hopefully this helps, here are all the random files I found in my root dir.
Thanks for the hard work.
cheers!

Would any dev be willing to convert my update script for CWM 3?

I have tried about ten different ways of re-writing this script to make it work with CWM 3, I have looked over several update scripts for newer ROMS, and have applied that format to my own script, but no dice. I also know I need the update binary but have no idea how to tailor this to my script, or how they play together.
I want to update to CWM 3 but I have my own custom ROM (basically just a modified stock ROM) and want to be able to try new ROMS but easily go back to this ROM if I need to. Would any dev be willing to convert the following script to make it CWM 3 compatible and also provide a working update binary?

Use Amend2Edify script converter from this thread. Works great, it'll provide you with an updated updater-script and updater-binary.
Ahhhhh you are my hero dude, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks man I am going to try it out now.... CWM 3 here I come!

Can someone fix my ****ing ZIP for me?

No matter what I do, it won't flash. Magisk will flash it but it does not function and creates two directories under /Magisk, Magisk-SSH? and Magisk-SSH??, and in TWRP it produces a new error no matter what I do. Even leaving the config.sh and module.prop completly alone and only adding the files to the directory the ****ing zip wont flash.
Download link
Pls upload to another site man,,can't download the file because of adfly..

try changing the permission to 755 instead of 777 for the binaries on your config.sh ... and zip it on sub folder of your module, dont do it on the root folder ... it wont be flashed that way bcoz wrong root folder. attached some ss for how to zip it.
Code:
set_perm $MODPATH/system/bin/scp 0 2000 0755 u:object_r:zygote_exec:s0
set_perm <filename> <owner> <group> <permission> <contexts> (default: u:object_r:system_file:s0)
or
set_perm_recursive $MODPATH/system/bin 0 0 0755 0755
set_perm_recursive <dirname> <owner> <group> <dirpermission> <filepermission> <contexts> (default: u:object_r:system_file:s0)
hope that help :good:

I dropped the project because the binaries don't work anyway. I placed them into /Magisk manually (basically doing the zip's job manually) along with the module.prop but calling them produces various errors. I cross-compiled them for ARM64 so they are the correct architecture.
