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 .
Hi, guys. I am a new member here at XDA and would like some people to test a version of Darkonion's Dosbf script modified for Macs. I have tested this this with my Mac, and a Droid X, and everything has gone wonderfully. I need to verify that it actually works with other Macs, so if anyone would like to help me out here, I would be very grateful.
Remember to wipe data/cache after SBF to be safe.
If you've gotten the message "error: no sbf_flash program" then you'll need to restart terminal and run the command "./sbf_flash droid2.sbf" after you cd to the SBF_Flasher_1.4 directory.
Update: SBF_Flasher_1.4
MAJOR UPDATE: Using the right sbf_flash finally. If for some reason this zip doesn't work, go here:

If anyone needs support, PM me and I can help.

If that happens, it basically means that the sbf_flash file is not an executable. Try this.
In terminal, type "chmod +x" and leave a space, then open the SBF_Flasher_1.3 folder and drag sbf_flash into terminal. Here's how it should look.
chmod +x /location of folder/SBF_Flasher_1.3/sbf_flash"
you don't have to put the SBF file on your sdcard, you just copy it to the SBF_Flasher folder on your computer and rename it droid2.sbf
i get to the point when it says "Press any number or letter key, then enter to continue" when i press a number or letter it gives me an error saying "Error: No sbf_flash program" any insight on what i may be doing wrong?
Edit:
tried the above instructions, and still not working. my phone has been stuck in bootload all day :-(

Make sure you pull the battery in between trying, otherwise you'll have to find another battery.
What phone and software version are you running? Did you get the correct SBF file?

Well, I don't own a D2, so here is all I can say.
1. Make sure you chmod +x both the sbf_flash and the SBF_Flasher.sh files
2. Download the 2.3.20 SBF, or whatever the most current one is and copy it to the SBF_Flasher folder. Rename the sbf "droid2.sbf" case-sensetive and without quotes
3. Run SBF_Flasher.sh and tell me at what point it errors, and what it says.

Ok, you need to chmod both files before running the SBF_Flasher.sh file. Also, it should look like "chmod +x /users/alkap16/Desktop/SBF_Flasher_1.3/sbf_flash". make sure the file name is sbf_flash, not sbf_flash 1.

Well, if it hasn't worked, and you don't have a windows pc, you should definitely try 1KDS's live disk, or this link.

I've been trying it, and I'm getting the same error for no sbf_flash program. I've tried chmod +x on both sbf_flash and SBF_FLASHER.sh
any ideas?
The other one you posted last is still a no go, as my mac can't burn disks.

You should definitely download sbf_flash from blog.opticaldelusion.org and see if that works. It's probably an issue with you not doing "chmod +x" right. I would try typing "chmod +x" leaving a space, and dragging sbf_flash into terminal. If all else fails, get your hands on a Windows machine, or use a VM, but I've never had success with VM's. Let me know what happens.

Giving it a second go (I had my brother fix it last time, he doesn't want to do it this time). Should I replace sbf_flash that I downloaded with the old one?
Edit: still doesn't work!!! You wouldn't happen to know how to put 1kdStaz's liveboot onto an external hdd, or how to partition my hdd to boot off of that?

I know you can boot off of a usb drive, but I'm not the person to talk to for that kind of thing. I'd recommend talking to 1KDS, he's really nice.

Try chmod 777 on the sbf_flash file, that worked for me...
Although, I have another question, does the sbf_flash file require an Intel based system? I'm using a PowerMac G5 with PPC processors and I get
./sbf_flash: line 3: /tmp/sbf_flash_754_746/Darwin: Bad CPU type in executable

Your description of what script/procedure you are using is very vague. What I can tell from the output is that your script lacks from write permission. Under normal circumstances, users are unable to write to the /system folder or any of its sub folders, which in this case means storing the superuser.apk file in /system/app. It is at least where the superuser.apk is supposed to be stored. If you want to learn about file privileges on Android/Linux, I suggest you to take a look at the command chroot.
Downloaded gingerbreak file onto phone. keep getting error message - open file No applications can perform this action. What to do?
It's probably not the proper APK if it says that, I'd suggest getting the APK from another source.
Hi, I would like to say in advance that I am grateful for any idea or solution.
Well, I wanted to install certain files, that is .apk files on my Samsung Galaxy S8, after which I created an Update.zip with a tool (Android Script Creator). Since my smartphone constantly stuck in an infinitely long bootloop, I have briefly reset my smartphone to sign the Update.zip with the app ZipSigner. After I reset everything so that I could install the signed Update.zip with TWRP, I got the error "Updater process ended with ERROR: 6 / Error installing zip file '/external/_sd/Update-signed.zip'". By the way, before that there was the note "no Digest file found", if that should be important.
If you have an idea what this could be and maybe a solution, then I look forward to your answer.
Many thanks in advance!
PS: If anyone knows how to replace .apk files and the associated data in the TWRP backup files, I would also be very happy about it.

Mount system. Go to advanced-file manager. There you can copy all the apps to their perticular location. Copy the files rom the updater zip. If the copying doesn't succeed then post the update.zip here
