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 have a rooted Droid eris and at first my intentions were to put a ROM on it that I liked. But when I found one, I tried to install it, then it said that the verification failed because of unsigned files. So i signed the files and did it again. This time I thought i did it but it then said:
E: can't find update script
And I have tried deleting the Meta-Inf files to avert confusion of the signed files.
But it did not work.
Any ideas?
Ok i have been sure to be careful in every step of this root but when i get to recovery mode my phone states E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip(no such file or directory) Installation aborted i have triple checked that the file is there and spelled correctly has anyone had this issue or have an idea how to get by this draw back thanks

It probably has .zip.zip. Download Astro from the market and look at the file. Also it must be all lower case.
This should be in the Captivate general forum. You would get a lot more responses there.

You must have hide known file extensions enabled in Windows so when you named it update.zip you were actually naming it update.zip.zip
Hey!
Can someone tell me how to create update.zip files for g3?
regards
I am not sure, but i think g3 recovery requires update.zip files to be signed with Samsung key, which we don't have.
i tryed to signing the file, it opens the package, and gives an error :/
damnit..
Thing is you most likely signed using the test key which is not accepted by Samsung recovery
yea, i am using the testkey :/ whatever, thank you, need the android.policy.jar file
is this not work?
what is samsung key?
