I have searched and searched and searched, I have an updater-script from a previous theme that works like a charm. When I change on thing on the ui_print it gives me a status 6 error, and I cannot figure out why.
This is the script
ui_print("Installing Black Theme");
show_progress(0,0);
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
show_progress(10.000000, 1);
ui_print("Done");
ui_print("Now reboot");
The moment i change the "black theme" and resave in notepad ++ I get status 6 error. everytime. Not a clue what I'm doing wrong.
ui_print("Installing KG1 AOSP Theme");
show_progress(0,0);
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
show_progress(10.000000, 1);
ui_print("Done");
ui_print("Now reboot");
That is what I want it to look like, but upon re-saving. Error, status 6. Why?? What do I need to save as in notepad++ to work?

did you ever find the answer to this? im in the same boat
+1... i can't believe it
Bump this thread... I'm stuck too.

This is usually an encoding challenge from what I've read. Try changing the updater.script back to utf unix file encoding. Windows loves to reach out and touch your stuff (which corrupts it); try switching to linux as a dev environment.

can someone smarter than me help me or point me in the right direction to convert my updater-scripts to edify. i think im sort of getting it but i want to make sure because i'm not a programmer. for instance, is the update-binary file required or just updater-script? also, the code posted below, it what i've come up with for flashing my themes, is it correct? and will it work with the new recoveries?
Code:
ui_print("Preparing system for istallation...");
ui_print("Wiping Cache / Dalvik...");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
ui_print("Installing Project_Bliss HD...");
show_progress(0.100000, 60);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
i am unsure whether or not i will have to mount the specific partitions for data and cache for this to work. i can always leave that part out but the less the person flashing needs to do the better. if i do have to mount in the script will the code below work for just a simple theme flash.
Code:
ui_print("Preparing system for installation...");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mtdblock4", "/system");
ui_print("Installing Project_Bliss HD...");
show_progress(0.100000, 60);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
Anyone?

I'm also interested in the same topic..
trying to build rom with dsixida kitchen and converting it from update to updater scripts remove all ui_print functions...
If I add them manually then clockwork refuses to boot that image...
Ditto... same issue about the ui_print... don't get it, because after the update-script gets created to the updater-script/update-binary cant be changed.
try this
show_progress(0.500000, 20);
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 30);
ui_print("All done!");
I'm working on creating a script that allows me to clean up my system when I do ROM updates (like removing unnecessary system files).
I've got it working almost completely, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to mount the data partition so I can remove some apks from there.
Code:
mount("MTD", "data", "/data");
ui_print("Removing Data Apps");
delete("/data/app/com.estrongs.android.pop-1.apk", "/data/app/com.mx.browser-1.apk", "/data/app/com.twitter.android-1.apk");
umount("/data");
This is what I have so far...and I've attached the file that currently works.
For mounting data partition you can use busybox too and for deleting apks you can use delete_recursive parameter
Burned from my laser torch using pencil cells
Mount partitions:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
Unmount partitions:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
Delete files:
delete("/system/app/app_name.apk");
Delete dir:
delete_recursive("/path/path");
I hope that helps
Edit, you also might wanna get a log from the recovery session.
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "cp", "/tmp/recovery.log", "/sdcard");

But I do not see why
Code:
mount("MTD", "data", "/data");
will not work.
Unless it is supposed to be
Code:
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
Code:
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data"); ui_print("Removing Data Apps"); delete("/data/app/com.estrongs.android.pop-1.apk",

So i have my dpi set manually to 440 in build.prop. Is there a way to retain my dpi settings after flashing nightly. I know it's possible with a script but can't find any for nexus 5. Maybe someone here knows how and can kindly guide me. I don't want to use an app. I am running cyanogenmod.
Yeah easy.
Create a flashable zip and in the system folder create a text file called "build_prop.sh"
The contents of which being
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
sed -i 's/density=480/density=440/g' /system/build.prop;
Then in your updater-script, do this
Code:
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/build_prop.sh");
run_program("sbin/sh", "/system/build_prop.sh");
delete("/system/build_prop.sh");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/sdcard");
ui_print("");
ui_print("...and we're done!");

Hi All,
I am trying to create a flash-able zip to remove some apps and I am getting this error
E: error executing updater binary in zip
Now here comes me question: is there a universal update-binary that I can use with CM11 / CM12 and is there a sample how to use it.
This is the updater-script I have written so far
Code:
ui_print("");
ui_print("Moutings Partitions");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Cleaning System Apps");
delete("/system/app/BasicDreams/");
ui_print("Adding Codename Lungo Sounds & Apex Launcher")
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Unmounting partitions");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Finish");
I am using a Mac if that makes a difference..
Hey,
today I got my Z5 and tried to make myself a Deodexed rom. but somehow after I flash it my phone stucks at the Sony logo for a few seconds and then reboots.
I extracted the /system from the ext4 file, deodexed priv-app, app, framework, and put them into a .zip as well as the updater-script file. It seems to be installed properly, just yea, it boot loops.
Thats my "update-script"-File
show_progress(0.2, 1);
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print(" Extracting files... ");
ui_print(" ");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
ui_print(" Setting Permissions... ");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system");
ui_print(" Done... ");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
show_progress(1, 1);
ui_print(" Please Reboot! ");
