because i tried a tutorial and it didn't work.. so I was hoping someone could just help me out but the link that was posted was different and much more straight forward however that too did not work

The problem would be that on Skyrocket the /system partition is mmcblk0p24 not mmcblk0p2.
Damn lucky you didn't brick when flashing this, because mmcblk0p2 in one of the secondary bootloaders!
Code:
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/unmount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2", "/system");
ui_print("Enjoy! ALL OF YOU WATER HAS BEEN EVAPORATED!!!!");
ui_print("Project Evaporation By Guitarboarder28");
A safer method for mounting system is to mount it using the generic partition name, which is more cross-device independent because you aren't mounting a specific block device (mmcblk0p24 isn't the /system partition on every device.)
You also might need to set the correct permission on system apps or other executables in the package.
Code:
ui_print("Flash something...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/app");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
ui_print("Done!");

seccontacts.apk cant be a folder, you r trying to inject something into an apk, but your method is wrong, the apk should be already modded and added to the zip with the correct paths setup in the zip and the updater script.
just add the ogg file in the apk, add the apk in the zip into the system/app folder

so did you ever finish the zip?

[Q] How to push deodexed app and framework in the phone

Hi guys, I successfully deodexed app and framework of the ported ICS (thenks so much xbsall). The problem is that i don't know how to push deodexed app and framework in the phone. Can u help me?

You can use adb .
Or
Pick any flashable *.zip .
Unzip , take the META-INF folder and go to (META-INF/com/google/android) and open the " updater-script" as text and delete all the text .
Then add this :-
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
delete("system/app");
delete("system/framework");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
Save it .
Then great a folder name it with "my rom" or any thing you like and put the META-INF folder in that folder . (Now you have "my rom/META-INF")
Great a folder name it "system" in the "my rom" folder (my rom/system) .
Great two folders "framework" and "app" put them in system folder (my rom/system/app) ,, (my rom/system/framework) .
Copy the deodexed framework files to the "framework" folder ,, and the deodexed apps into "app" folder .
Now make a zip contain the "system" and "META-INF" folders .
This will be a flashabe zip .
By the way ,, how did you deodexed them ?? I tried every thing but always fail with errors .

[Q] HELP with my SCRIPT

I am triying to do my script for putting in data the apps so the paid apps you have you can unistall and update from market when ever you want.
Structure:
data
META_INF
In data it the APK with i want to test.
META-INF is the updater-script i do to made it work:
Code:
ui_print("Starting Script....");
ui_print("Installing APK....");
ui_print("Allmost done....");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p35", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data/");
unmount("/data");
ui_print("Script made by werty100....");
ui_print("Thanks for using it...");
Now its wokrs but it doesnt install the app how can I do
A lot of thanks

Working
Know I have cheked it and its works, it was becouse the structure.

[Q] create update.zip to flash /data ?

Hello
I'm in a bit of trouble because TWRP won't restore my backups. It fails during 65% of the /data partition. There are two separate backups from September and November and none of them work. MD5 Hashes check out OK though
The problem is I need to get the apps and their settings back. There are some important things on there.
I've already unpacked the data.ext4.win000 file using cygwin and found out that there is an app that has cached over 300,000 files which I don't need. Maybe that could be part of the problem, maybe not, I can't figure it out since I don't get any error other than "failed"
What I would like to try next is zip the unpacked /data folder containing /data /Fly-On /local and /misc into a flashable .zip and flash it using adb sidload.
I've found an update-script that could possibly work but currently I am reluctant to use it because I don't see any /misc in there and cygwin did not unpack any folder called "/app"
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
set_perm(1000, 1000, 0771, "/data");
set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0771, 0644, "/data/app");
set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0771, 0644, "/data/data");
package_extract_dir("sdcard", "/sdcard");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
Anyone ever done something like this and willing to share the experience?
Some hints or clues would be greatly appreciated...

I've never seen a line like
package_extract_dir("sdcard", "/sdcard");
before. Should be something like data instead if I'm not mistaken. But I'm not a dev, so somebody else should help here...
Also, wrong section. This belongs to Q&A.

Hey op I'm sorry you've ran into this problem but this might be a really long stretch but you could try to restore the apps and data from the nandroid backup using titanium...

Flashable zip not flashing correctly

I've searched and searched for this and can't find any related thread that has solved my problem. So please forgive me if I'm asking this question without having found the answer on my own.
I'm trying to create a flashable zip. The file is clearing-cache-v3.sh and I want it pushed to /system/etc/init.d/clearing-cache-v3.sh. I want to make the file executable after it's pushed to that directory. In the zip file I already have these two folders:
META-INF
system
Within that system folder I placed the file I'm pushing in this zip as /system/etc/init.d/clearing-cache-v3.sh. Below is the updater-script.
Code:
ui_print("");
ui_print("Clear DNS Cache");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
ui_print("");
ui_print("*******************");
ui_print("*******************");
ui_print("Clearing DNS Cache");
ui_print("*******************");
ui_print("*******************");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/etc/init.d/clearing-cache-v3.sh");
run_program("/system/etc/init.d/clearing-cache-v3.sh");
run_program("/sbin/unmount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2", "/system");
ui_print("");
ui_print("All Done!");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
The problem I'm having is that the file isn't being pushed to /system/etc/init.d. It's just not going there. When I flash this file it doesn't give me an error or anything either. It's just not pushing the file to where it belongs. What am I doing wrong?

You have the placing wrong. You gave meta-inf folder and system folder, inside that system folder in the zip should be /etc/init.d what you have by putting a system folder inside the other system folder is what's wrong.

What do you mean? I have the meta-inf folder and system folder in the zip. Attached is the file that I've been having issues with. Can you expound on what you mean about what I did wrong.

Forget what I said before, the way you worded it confused me. It doesn't flash correctly because you forgot that you have to end the updater script with an empty line.

I tried to add a blank line at the end of the updater script and then I saved it, recreated the zip, and flashed and it still made no difference. In fact, if I add a blank line at the end of the file, save it, then reopen the updater-script, that blank line is gone. Why is that?

Could be what you're using to make it. Try something else, but if it is getting rid of that blank line when you save it its not going to work.

I just used a different text editor to put the line at the end. This time when I flashed it it said "Error executing updater binary". Prior to this I wasn't getting any errors.

Sorry I really don't know what to tell you, maybe start from scratch?

Figured it out. I took the updater-script from another zip file that I've flashed recently that I knew worked and modified that. Below is the final updater script that worked perfectly for me:
Code:
ui_print(" Flashing Google Services fix... ");
ui_print(" ");
show_progress(0.99, 30);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/etc/init.d/FixGSv3.sh");
show_progress(1.0, 1);
unmount("/system");
ui_print("----------------------------------------------");
ui_print("| Done!!! |");
ui_print("----------------------------------------------");
ui_print(" ");
