please try to search for information yourself before you post here. a simple google search brought me to this thread @modaco : http://android.modaco.com/content/t.../writing-to-data-with-a-flashable-update-zip/
during recovery not all partitions are mounted and obviously /data/ is not! try to mount it in recovery (the "partitions" thingy in the menu or via adb) before you try to flash the update.zip. it's possible to do that out of the update script but i leave it to you to find out how

I appreciate your reply. I spent countless hours trying to figure out the update.zip data mounting. I have tried "adb remount /data" command but I always get
remount failed: no such file or directory. I would love to mount data in the updater-script. I do not use update-script as that does not seem to work on my galaxy s. maybe I am doing it wrong, but I tried to make a update-script and it doesn't work.

I dont even have partitions menu in adb ;O

you can
1) in the recovery: partitions menu->mount /data
OR
2) adb shell and then "mount -t rfs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data"
i don't know about the updater script but http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641223 should help you start. beware, the partitions are different on the sgs!
good luck!

ups. i have overlooked your post.
the "partitions menu" option is only available in the clockwork recovery (but not int the stock one)...

is there a difference between updater-script and update-script? Thank you so much for the replies.

mount("MTD", "data", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
set_perm(1000, 1000, 0771, "/data/app");
unmount("/data");
i tried that and it doesn't work
even the delete_recursive("/data/app"); doesn't work

Just been given the tip that the userdata mount isnt necessarily called data.
From terminal/adb shell "cat /proc/mtd" and you should see what the correct name is. On my g1 it's "userdata"
About to try and sort the script for my update now - will let you know how it goes.

You can't you need to use clockworkmod for that.

I have managed to flash to /data/ on my G1 with the following...
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
unmount("/data");

[Q] Creating a Kernel update zip file

Ok I'm a bit confused. After hours upon hours of trying, I have yet to successfully create a WORKING update.zip file for flashing a kernel.
I'm trying to create an update.zip file for the 2.6.35.10 kernel from the leaked T-Mobile US Gingerbread 2.13.531.5 ROM.
I properly unpacked the boot.img from the ROM, and my updater-script file seems correct, then I create the zip, sign it and flash thru CWM. The update completes without errors, however, when I reboot the phone, it still says I have 2.6.32.28. I'm stuck. My updater-script is as follows:
Code:
ui_print("");
ui_print("T-Mobile US - G2 Kernel Update");
ui_print("Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10");
ui_print("Prepared by: spyral");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Using: AnyKernel Updater by Koush.");
ui_print("");
set_progress(1.000000);
ui_print("Clearing dalvik and boot cache ...");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/data/boot-cache");
ui_print("Extracting System Files...");
set_progress(2.000000);
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
set_progress(5.000000);
ui_print("");
ui_print("Extracting Kernel files...");
package_extract_dir("kernel", "/tmp");
ui_print("Installing kernel...");
set_progress(6.000000);
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/dump_image");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/mkbootimg.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/mkbootimg");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/unpackbootimg");
run_program("/tmp/dump_image", "boot", "/tmp/boot.img");
run_program("/tmp/unpackbootimg", "-i", "/tmp/boot.img", "-o", "/tmp/");
run_program("/tmp/mkbootimg.sh");
write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img", "boot");
set_progress(10.000000);
ui_print("Done!");
I've tried multiple times, with no luck. Any ideas?

Btw, sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum Mods... feel free to move it if need be. I'm still learning the ropes of this place.

Question about HTC Kitchen

Messing around with the HTC Kitchen and I am getting an error when trying to build a ROM.
Error is:
Code:
format() expects 3 args, got 2
(status 7)
installation aborted
Any ideas?

Find the line it is referring to in the update(r) script. Should be the 7th line as it tells you that. There is probably a comma missing between the numbers in the parenthesis

This is what the script is
Code:
format("MTD", "cache");
format("MTD", "boot");
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
format("MTD", "userdata");
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
set_perm(1000, 1000, 0771, "/data");
set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0771, 0644, "/data/app");
format("MTD", "system");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
I try taking out the format lines, and I get the same error except on mount() this time.

Did you run the script checker?

Don't remove the lines manually... open your kitchen and change " the wipe status if your ROM"

Script checker only works for update-scripts' not updater-scripts. At least to my understanding... unless there is another one out there ? I am running HTC Android Kitchen, v0.161 on Ubuntu btw.

Flashable zip

Hello guys!
I'm trying to make a flashable zip so each time I flash a CM10.1 nightly, I flash after that this zip to put a custom font on my GNexus.
However, I tried two different ways but they don't work, and I receive an ERROR on recovery (I'm using TWRP, latest release).
There are the two scripts i've tried:
Code:
ui_print("Applying Ubuntu Font");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
delete("/system/fonts/Clockopia.ttf");
delete("/system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf");
delete("/system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf");
delete("/system/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf");
package_extract_dir("fonts", "/system/fonts");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
ui_print("New Fonts installed!");
and...
Code:
ui_print("Applying Ubuntu Font");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("fonts", "/system/fonts");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
ui_print("New Fonts installed!");
What am I doing wrong?
I have the folders OK (i have a fonts folder inside the flashable zip and the regular META-INF, etc.). However, the script isn't working.
Can someone help me?
Thanks and best regards!

Hi, I discovered this thread by accident and if you still need some opinion, i can tell you that my font change script is exactly the same as the first one you posted. So maybe you're just using a wrong template.zip file to begin with. Good luck!

framework-res permissions

is this permissions script is right? always getting installation complete.
Code:
ui_print("SET FRAMEWORK-RES PERMISSIONS");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/framework/framework-res.res");
unmount("/system");
after reboot i'm getting boot loop, forgot set permissions for framework-res.res...
its ok, after one hour of search and making a topic i only saw that type of file is apk not res
