So, I read hat you can sign zips with fresh's kitchen... so i downloaded it and it says java is not a valid command, etc.
Then I found another way to try to do it and that was by doing it manually, tried it. Java is not a valid command.
I have Eclipse and the SDK and the JDK installed, so there shouldn't have been any issue.
Any idea how to get these zips signed so I can flash them to my phone? Ill be releasing them once I get them signed, as well.
They're clear lock screens with designs.
Also... I am on windows 7 64 bit. If that matters for the signing of zips.

Chcked path again, but misspelled it, so I fixed it and tried to sign the zip again, and still same error.
Download Stericson's autosign.bat if you're on windows (which i'm assuming you are, as you use flipz' kitchen). Makes signing so much easier....

I'm running same thing as you and I ran into the same problem and come to find out that the jdk (jdk-6u19-windows-i586.exe) that you download doesn't install the java runtime environment like everyone says. I don't know if thats just a windows 64 thing or what but thats what it is.

did you reboot your computer
Hey, when I sign zips I use this. I found it on google. Works perfectly. I'm running windows 7 ultimate btw. Just put the zip in the folder and name it update ( make sure you delete the update.zip thats already in there) and then run the sign.bat and it will create update_sign.zip and then you can rename it to whatever you want. =]
http://jump.fm/JGFOE --- Auto-Sign
wait, so you've already tried adding java to your path?
make sure its java.exe. i also added jvm.cfg just in case, try that maybe?
http://www.4shared.com/file/256656535/b77de5de/Avabox.html
extract the zip to desktop, install JRE from their website. run command prompt AS ADMIN. cd to the autosign folder. open the readme, copy and paste the jave usage into cmd. wait. tada. make sure your zip named update.zip

I'll check this out and get back to you.
Aha... See... I installed the JDK version, not JRE. I think eclipse instructions wanted JDK... what the heck. so now I have 3 javas installed on here? my regular one, the JDK, not soon to be the JRE.
The other java you are talking about is used to run java compiled things on your computer and websites.
The JDK and JRE are for developing and other stuff. Both needed for signing a file.
Now this is getting pretty frustrating. JRE is already installed on my machine. I changed my path to C:\Android\eclipse\jre\bin aand still the same damn error... will update with more attempts at failure here.
Edit: added C:\Android\eclipse\jdk1.6.0\bin to the PATH and still same error.
Edit: added \java.exe to both strings I've mentioned in here, still same error.
Final edit because I give up: I removed just java.exe, leaving C:\Android\eclipse\jre\bin\;C:\Android\eclipse\jdk1.6.0\bin\ and still, nothing.

I dont think 3 is really needed. Its just an extra. You can do step 3 by just double clicking and running testsign_apk from the folder.
And you did move all the files to a folder on your desktop correct?

it has to be signed .. read JFs info for his "Build Environment" .. very easy to do in linux .. you can't just modify the zip and be done .. files must be signed
thanks for your response
No need for the entire build environment. Just get the AndroidMod.zip file (google for dl sources) and run the modified update.zip through signapk. There is a readme included detailing how to use it.
I have the sign app but I can't figure out how to use it. I searched but I could not find a good set of instructions.
Open your command line, change directory to the signapk directory (also for convenience your update.zip file should be in this directory too) then type:
java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update.zip update_signed.zip
That's it. The update_signed.zip file will be the finished file. If it gives you an error 'java' is not a valid executable, that is because you don't have JRE or JDK installed.
ok I did all that put the update.zip that is signed on my sd card with nothing else on it. started teh up date the phone verifies the file. then it starts installing as soon as it starts to install I get this error on my phone. "E:Can't find update script installation aborted.
Somehow you deleted the update-script. Check the zip file to see if its still present:
\META-INF\com\google\android\update-script
it is still there

Confusing.
it is only a 3k file. I found a 14k file in another update.zip I had
still says it can't find it
What archive creation program are you using to create the zip?
winzip what should I be using
Hm. Idk, I was just curious. It shouldn't make a difference really. Particularly if the signing tool worked fine. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.
Try and re download your sources and then modify and resign.
Also be sure to check your sources after download and transfer (SHA1, MD5 etc)
ok I redownloaded the file and repeated the process and still get the same error. all I am trying to do is remove the camera app from the jf1.5adp1 build and put it on my phone .
I'm sure this has been asked before but after prolific searching of the forums and our friend Google I turn to you guys for help. As the title says I'm using OS X and I need a solution (that isn't dual booting to use XP) to signing the update.zip so that I can customise aspects of my ROM, I'm very eager to learn how to do this and this so far seems to be quite an annoying problem.

i have a folder on the desktop which contains the signapk.jar and both sets of keys...put the Archive.zip that you have created and want to sign in this folder, then open terminal
in terminal, you type
$cd FOLDER-containing-files
$java -jar signapk.jar testkeys.x509.pem testkey.pk8 Inputfile.zip outputfile.zip
the outputfile.zip is your update which is signed....
OK, I do all that I think.
Heres my process.
Download ROM
Extract downloaded zip to folder eg update
Make changes to files
Compress folder back to zip eg update1.zip
java -jar signapk.jar testkeys.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update1.zip update_signed.zip
rename and copy the signed file to sd
reboot recovery
wipe and apply update
It doesn't moan about the signing (so I assume its ok) but I get an update script not found error and it doesn't install.
I haven't changed the update scripts, only the boot.img and one or two scripts in system.
Does every file I change have to be resigned as well? I muct be missing something here
on OSX 10.5
Signing has nothing to do with that error. Make sure that the update-script is in the correct path.
META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
it is, is a normal update.zip (ie cyanogen rom), and the only file I've changed is boot.img and a2sd in system/bin
i have a folder on the desktop which contains the signapk.jar and both sets of keys...put the Archive.zip that you have created and want to sign in this folder, then open terminal
in terminal, you type

sadly not, I just used a application that zips in a PC format (without mac hidden files) and no joy. Good idea though.
Edit: Just tried archiving the zip but not compressing. Thought I was on to something. I wasn't.
Another update, I have tried the same in Fedora 11 and again, getting the update script error message when I flash.
I signed modified update for 3 different builds on my Mac, everything worked w/o problems every time. I did everything like described in readme and several times here. So, it's not a global OS X problem.
BTW, I used muCommander to directly modify all zips.

you dont archive (zip) the folder, this is where you are having the issue... say you extracted the rom to ROMFOLDER, what you need to do is go into that folder, select all, then right click or two finger click and choose Compress - you will end up with an archive that contains all sub folders, if you zip the folder then you have a folder within a folder and that is where all goes south..

EDIT1: Ok... i made a zip file from the folder, changed the extension to APK and resign... i will try to unpack an aplication and install it via ASTRO... let's see how that goes...
EDIT2: ok... edit1 method didn't work... tried installing with ASTRO didnt work, tried pushing it to the phone via adb... didn't work either... HEEEEEELP! hehe..
FIGURED IT OUT: ok... i figured it out... =) making a zip file and renaming the extension to apk and signing DOES work... i was making a mistake, while packing the zip file using archiver and the folder structure was changed... i did it manually and worked perfectly... now i know how to make apks and resign them... thanks to everybody who cooperated for the patience and support... =)

Now when you've learned how, could you make a "How to" for others?
the java testsign tool should work with windows, i think all you have to do is install the java sdk... the text line should be the same java -classpath testsign.jar testsign nameofthefile.apk/nameofthefile.zip
The zip files are... just zip files, can be made with 7zip (in windows) after you make the .zip if you want to make it an apk all you have to do is change the extension... maybe this works in cmd "copy zipedfile.zip newapkfile.apk"... if not... put it in the sdcard and do it via adb shell...
"adb shell /sdcard/nameofthezipfile.zip /sdcard/nameofthenewapk.apk"
I don't really have much time to make a tutorial and try things right now... i will try next week, in the meantime try these things... good luck...
With the help of red_menace over at the apple support forum, I present Mac users with an application that will sign their .apk and .zip files.
It is a droplet application, meaning you just have to drag the file you want signed onto the application itself. A new file will be created with -signed at the end of the file name.
For this to work you need to have testsign.jar in your root directory. The root directory is the first place you come to when you click on the mac hard drive.
If anyone wants to use or edit the script that's fine with me, I really didn't do much, just asked the right people for help.

the testsign.jar needs to be in the root directory of your computer. The app can be placed anywhere you would like. Where ever you put the app, the new signed file will be also.
guys so lets say i put meltus audio hack in cyanogen 4.9999 and i want to sign the whole build back up how would i do that.

i think what jaaronmoody was talking about is just putting your adb file into the root directory instead of adding to the bin. but im pretty new to the whole terminal and coding stuff, so i just know what i've picked up since having my g1.

well if the file is good. you just have to drag the cm 4.9999.zip file onto the app and it will spit out the new signed version.
What I think is more complicated is actually modifying those files. I use virtualbox to run windows and do everything with 7zip.
Anyone know of a zip program similar to 7zip to edit the apk and zip files?
Dude! Thanks! Alright guys get ready now that I have everything in place ADB, and signing my .zip files expect Luck's turn at android development lol. Im hecka grateful for everybody but now im ready haha thanks guys
Thanks for the help.
Works like a charm.
Awesome droplet.
I am looking for a run down on signing a file.
So far, I have taken other people files and just edited images from the apk moved them back and signed using Kitchen (Only way I know how)
So I am at a stand still here...
I want to add
app\Rosie.apk
and
system\com.htc.resources.apk
to a file so that I can change things a little more.
But have not had luck.
Can someone give the rest of us some steps?
Thanks.
are you on windows? if so, then use this batch script. unzip it and get to signing

firstly, install java. then look inside the batch script and you'll see the basic layout for signing files from terminal.
EDIT: what it inside the script is this basic layout for signing, "java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update.zip update_signed.zip"
replace "update.zip" with your zip file and update_signed.zip with your zip file with "signed" or something so you know it's signed appended before the .zip

Yes, I am running windows. Thanks for the file! I will give it a try.
So I see the Sign.bat All I know so far, (Sorry, still new)
My folder will be laid out like this.
<update.zip>
<system>
<app>Rosie.apk</app>
<framework>com.htc.resources.apk</framework>
</system>
<update.zip>
But I dont know where to go from there?
I wonder if we counted, how many threads do you think were started here with this EXACT same question?

I dont know how to do that or what it does.
I unziped the folder to my desktop but really dont know where to go from there.
I also dont know command prompt at all for the most part.
Only little things {cd} {*} things like that but even than its just at sight.
I looked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618874 and there does not seem to be a wiki or anything on this.
make a new folder where you'll want to zip all your files
copy the autosign.zip to this folder
unzip it.
zip up your files and update-script, name the zip update.zip and put them in this folder
run the batch script from command prompt
Code:
Sign.bat
you will now have a new zip called update_signed.zip, which is you signed update.zip
Does flipzmode's Kitchen do the same thing?
I know there is a sign part to it.
I have used it but not sure if it does the same thing.
When doing this is get an error.
It says it can not find the update script?

how would you sign a zip on a mac?

Unzip this. Place the testsign.jar in the root directory of your Mac. Not the home (user) directory, but should be "Macintosh HD" or something of the sort. Then place the Android-Sign.app in /Applications. Even easier to make a shortcut to it in the dock. Whenever you want to sign a file, drag it to the Android-sign app, and it will sign it and put it in the same directory as the original, with "signed" at the end so you'll know which one is which.
For Mac there is an auto-sign program. Just put testsign.jar on the root of your computer hard drive (Macintosh HD) and it works. To sign a ROM, open the rom folder, select all the contents, right-click, and click Conpress. Rename archive.zip to whateveer you want. Drag it onto the Android Sign program and then wait for the program to close (when the dot goes away). There should be another file in the ROM folder called Archive-signed.zip. That is your signed zip.
...That's what I just posted.

We posted it at like the same time I think he figured out how to do the actual signing, but he zipped the folder and not the contents. So... It was rom.zip>rom>contents of rom.

You're using Stericson's autosign.bat correct?
I might be wrong but if you use Kitchen you can auto sign things and it works really good.
