what did you flashed first? say that first

make a backup before flashing.
if you don't like the effect, restore the backup.

if you have modded the framework-res.apk or any other that you have modded consider that as x.apk copy the x.apk from the firmware from which u modded it......and make a folder copy meat inf from any cwm flashable zip of any theme or app from galaxy fit's forums....and do another folder called system and open it and create a folder called app and paste the x.apk and add the two folders ( met inf and system) to zip file ...and sign the zip and flash it via cwm..............

i havent flashed it but thinkin of doin it without root and i didnt get what u said abt the framework res stuff
thnx

SOLUTION
HERE S THE solution
let I explain you with rooting example
For root ~updater script
format("MTD", "system"); #mount("MTD", "system", "/system"); package_extract_dir("system", "
/system"); set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/sqlite3"); set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/su-v1"); set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/su-v2"); set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/su-v3"); set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/su"); set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/sh"); set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/busybox"); #unmount("/system");
And for undo this
delete("/system/xbin/sqlite3"); delete("/system/xbin/su-v1"); delete("/system/xbin/su-v2"); delete("/system/xbin/su-v3"); delete("/system/xbin/su"); delete("/system/xbin/sh"); delete("/system/xbin/busybox"); delete("/system/app/Superuser.apk");

you could also do this:
open the downloaded zip file using an archive manager.
open /system and make a list of all the files included.
check your phone for those files using Root Explorer. If they exist, copy to SD Card.
Flash ZIP.
you don't like the effect? copy the backed up files into their respective directories. delete all those files that didn't exist before.(added by the zip)
I've tried to keep these instructions as simple as possible. Still if you have any doubts, PM me?

Can someone help me with my update.zip?

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?

Mounting Points for GT-P3113 and GT-P5113 are Needed.

Like the title says, I am in need of the mounting points to make Stock Odex Not Rooted Rom's for both my tablets.. I have downloaded over 6 roms, searching for 3 days, read so many threads and can not find it..
Yes I have google it and searched plenty of threads and other websites.. the most information I have gotten was this for both GT-P3113 and GT-P5113... wifi versions.. downloaded the newest firmwares.. I already made the roms.. but for the updater script, I am missing the same bit of information..
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"); - I found this that was used for both GT-P3113 and GT-P5113
need system and cache mounting points.. looks like they may be the same, but need help..
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p?", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p?", "/cache");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5");

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(" ");
