you can't get update.zip this way....if you want flashable
zip you need to use rom cooker tool with pc and pull whole system to pc then rom cooker will make an zip as you want above...

Mostly we want to update zImage in boot.img. so suggest you not to go for unpack and repack. just update your custom zImage into defualt boot.img by running this command:
#abootimg -u boot.img -k zImage.
Then try to flash this boot.img in your phone. If you are r changing initrd.img also then you can go for unpacking and repacking
but always take backup of your default boot.img, because if anything gone bad with this custom boot.img then your defuault will help to bring back your phone.

[Q] Repacking kernel.elf help

Hey guys,
I am trying to repack the stock kernel as I have made a change to the ramdisk (ro.secure=0) I wasn't able to split the boot.img using split_bootimg.pl as it could not find android magic in the header so used flashtool to extract the kernel.elf file which gave me 3 files.
These were "kernel.elf.Image" "kernel.elf.ramdisk.gz" and "kernel.elf.3"
I have managed to extract and make the changes to the ramdisk and recompile it but im stuck at merging these 3 files back into the flashable kernel.elf file any help would be much appreciated

try this in terminal(if you use linux)
"tar cvf mykernel.tar boot.img"
don't forget to cd to directory of the boot.img file.

Just use official tar for Windows.
You can't flash an img file in Odin needs to be tar or md5 file. 7zip tars don't work but that does.
