[Q] could somebody help me make an update.zip?

If been looking and searching all over xda and just couldnt figure this out, i read threads and tried update.zip managers with no luck, i would like to learn how to make a flashable zip from scratch, the part that confuses me is the "scripting" and "binary" im not sure how to set up the scripting. So if someone could help that would be great!
I can make the zip for you if you want?

More on that Touchwiz infused Codename Android ROM... I tap the download link and it goes to their Apache Test Server page..... Have you successfully downloaded it?
EDIT: you can't download from a phone, has to be via PC....

I have torolplus.
Do you even have a Linux partition. Do you even know what Linux is? Do you know how to decompile a boot.img? Do you know what a boot.img is? You're way over your head here bud. Suck it up and stop asking or buy a GS3 like you should have from the beginning.

Its limited from what I understand. Besides its a baby proof OS.

No more so than Ubuntu IMO... you can seriously screw either up if you sudo the right thing in terminal.

Really? Sounds like a bad iso image, Ubuntu is like the Windows XP of Linux (really easy).

Maybe it will be easiest to use someone else's PC first. After that Mobile Odin can allow flashing from on board your phone.

Other than the method posted, no. Did you use the files in the attachments linked to that root thread? As there are no exploits available to make flashable roots it must be done either with a computer or the method posted.

I apologize for sounding rude, but if you can't follow that guide I don't suggest messing around with your phone too much.
It's pretty straight forward, all you're doing is typing commands into terminal emulator once the required files are on your sd....not difficult in the slightest.
Why not just go to a library and use one of their computers? Or a friends? There's no one click root for the GS3 pretty sure.
Thats where I need help at the terminal emulator commands

Well anyway,
I did try the exploit on my computer and discovered that the exploit appears to be patched for AT&T phones on the latest update, which most people have, which makes this thread somewhat pointless.
It did work on the previous 4.1.1, but only with a computer, which still makes this thread pointless, and most people are going to struggle anyway with the way the terminal commands are given.
It's much easier to just use someone else's computer and use one of the easier root methods.

Rooting on a Mac?

I tried motochopper method and it fails and have been trying the heimdall method but am having problems installing libusb. Macs are easily accessible to me but since my pc crapped out on me I don't have easy access to a pc that I can download stuff on, anyone with Mac experience rooting able to help? I've already read the threads on it and can't figure it out and they are old and doesn't seem like support is there anymore. Thanks

If you use an XP disc, it shouldn't be very big. Create a dynamic virtual disk and then delete it when you're done.
