didn't change anything

*** may brick the epic! *** not tested!
update your bootloader to di18
possible changes: adb reboot recovery may go to bml8 aka recovery partition

So in theory this would make adb reboot recovery default to clockwork, and in the same way let the reboot recovery power down menu mod default also to recovery?
Also are you not afraid to take risks, or why haven't you tested this yourself?

Tried it, no workie

You can manually put it in the ZIP and modify the updater-script to flash this to /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX.

You can put it in the ROM ZIP too if that's what you were asking.

But how?? Thanks

Just put the boot.img in the ROM ZIP and edit the updater-script to include these lines:
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "grouper" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "grouper" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "tilapia" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tilapia");
run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "mkdir /system/etc/init.d");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0755, "/system/etc/init.d");
unmount("/system");
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX"));
That's how Franco does it. You could also try dd'ing the contents of boot.img to /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX, but I don't know the exact syntax for that. You can check other kernel ZIPs and see how they install the kernel in recovery. Add the boot.img to your ROM ZIP and then edit the updater-script to include the required lines. That should do it!

Thanks you are great!!! I think that if a want add .apk is something similar??

Yes, but for apps you don't have to change anything in the updater-script.

OK ITS JUST PUT THE APPS IN SYSTEM/APP AND GIVE PERMISSIONS?
i hope don't be a fastidious man..... but you know some build.prop tweaks?? i'm copy a few tweaks for internet but......tweaks(build.prop) really makes better the performance and the battery? or just are lie?

to edit the zip of cm10, i will uncompress and edit and compress again?
thanks!!

If you are on Ubuntu, just drag and drop the files you need. And I don't think tweaks really help a lot. Just my opinion though.

No need. Just open the zip via Winrar and edit the file.

I never saw his post! It is my mistake!
But I never copied any ideas from anyone!
I recently read a article about this and thought of making this script!
Credits: To that developer also!

you can also use aroma file manager which is really useful especially if there are other things you need to delete that is stopping the phone from booting
its good you are making the effort to do things - its just I read most things and can remember other posts

[Completed] [Q] error in update script stock android

I want to create a flashable zip for my mt6572 device .
i am having cadvik recovery 2.2
i used the android kitchen to create the stock zip
it created a zip .
now the problem is :
when i try flash it through cwm , it saying that you have to do it again .
it showing errors .
so i chech the updater script .
i noticed that . it starts with like :
***************
***************
** format("MTD", "system");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
i think it should like this right
Should be:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system"); **
******************
*****************
i made that zip using my stock system.img
but still i not get succeed to flash it via cwm .
any one know why that update script is like that ..
any solution for that .

Hi there,
There is many threads that are describe how to make flashable zip for many things. Here are few of them:
[GUIDE][NOOB FRIENDLY]How To Make Aroma Installer Flashable Zip/update.zip
[GUIDE]How to extract a Firmware and make a flashable ZIP
Good luck

[PROBLEM] Unable to flash self-made zip file

Device details:
YU Yuphoria YU5010
Software: CyanogenMod 12.1 (Nightly)
Root Access: Yes (By Default)
Bootloader: Unlocked
Recovery: TWRP v2.8.7.0
I made a simple flashable zip which I want to use for installing a different camera app in my device's /system partition. The app works. I've tried it by installing it the traditional way (apk). However I'm not able to flash the zip file. Whenever I try to flash it I get an error
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cam.zip'
I researched on Google for that error and found many solutions from people facing the same problem. However all those solutions were only for this issue when faced while flashing a new custom ROM, not any other zip. So they were futile for me. Obviously I haven't been wiping anything before flashing my zip file.
My updater-script code:
ui_print("*********************************");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("********** MIUI Camera **********");
ui_print("*** By Tanmay Vij ***";
ui_print("**********************************");
ui_print("Mounting System...");
run_program(
"/sbin/busybox",
"mount",
"/system"
);
ui_print("Installing Camera...");
package_extract_dir(
"system",
"/system"
);
ui_print("Fixing Permissions...");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/Redmi1s_MIUICamera.apk");
ui_print("Unmounting System...");
run_program(
"/sbin/busybox",
"umount",
"/system"
);
ui_print("MIUI Camera successfully installed!");
I wonder whether this is gonna happen with me only in TWRP or in other recoveries as well (can't test in CWM as it is not supported for my device). Please correct if any errors in the script..
P.S. I took the update-binary from some random flashable zip as I've heard that it's the same for any zip file..
