So can we make flashable ZIP files for the XZP.
Many people said to use FTF creator or what its called but I had no luck getting it to work.

Slluxx
you can edit the zip you have to make sure the folder structure is right to where you want the files to flash to and you need to digitaly sign the zip for it to flash. META-INF is where the update-binary and the updater-script are. The update-binary updates the su binary (i think) and the updater-script tells CWM what goes where out of the signd zip to the android system and mount & unmounts the partitions you want to flash files to it is writen in edify scripting which you can learn or borrow one out of someone elses zip and edit as you want instead of writing a whole one your self. The digital signature you sign the zip with is in there to. There is a certain structure to the folders aswell which must be right or you will get flashing error.
so thats a thing that i cant do without intensive learning ?
easy said. i cant drag n drop into the zip and flash.
i have to write data where whatever has to go and id has to be in the right folder structure ... ,..., ...
hm.
anyway thanks for your help
if the files are just replacing others in the zip then all you have to do is extract the zip change the files you want then re-zip then download android auto signer to sign the zip then your good to go. oh and make sure you delete the old signature files out of META-INF folder there will be 3 files as soon as you open META-INF delete them
yeah ..
i dont know wich data is exactlx for what and where it is ..
i want to flash the stock rom with a few datas of the custom rom and a few from the "addon" zip ..
so i dont know if it works. and what i have to edit/delete
before this i only followd the flashing instuctions. i dont made any from these things from my own so sorry that im a noob
Want to know how to make CWM flashable zips using phone? Here's what you have to do. I have attached a sample zip file which consists of two folders viz. META-INF and system. Now download PowerGrasp.apk from the attached files. Install it, open it and then copy any app which you want as a flashable file. And then paste it in a new folder named "app" under the "system" folder in the "sample CWM.zip" file. Now the compressor of PowerGrasp will pop up. Set the compression level to 6. Now compress it. And you're done.
Now you've successfully made your own cwm flashable zip file. Use CWM recovery to flash.
{Neither of the attached files is my development. I got these files from a friend and posted these to help others who want to make flashable zips on phone}
someone could create a flashable .zip with the kernel, the modem, the libraries , and the build.prop ,
eh I been trying but it causes an error in the updater scrip I have no idea ,
if anyone has more knowledge, I provide the files and routes it only takes the updater script
the reason for this zip, easy to everyone else. to install roms of Any Other model
sorry for my bad English
The zip would need to be bumped before it could work. Once they get the bump site up and running you should be able to make a working flashable zip.

I'm not sure but I thought out it was stock kernel. There was no reason for the zip file to be bumped. Did I misunderstand?
Hii devs,
I'm a budding developer. I've been trying to make a flashable zip since long time. Came across many tutorials, resources, apps, and a lot more! But none of them seemed to help me make a flashable zip from scratch.. All tutorials either provide a dummy (sample) zip or suggest an app or are incomplete.. But still I haven't been able to find a helpful resource..
My situation:
I made two directories: META-INF & data.
Wrote the updater-script
Added it in META-INF/com/google/android
Verified the syntax of updater-script, everything seemed fine.
Added the required stuff in the data directory.
Compressed the directories (both using normal "New Zip Archive" from Desktop as well as 7Zip).
Signed the zip.
[*]NOW COMES THE PROBLEM: THE update-binary
Tried a lot of resources to obtain the update-binary, took it from a cm nightly for my device, from a dummy zip (which I was able to flash successfully), downloaded it from a tutorial, used an app to make a flashable zip and took out the update-binary from it
BUT STILL NO LUCK
I always get an error in the TWRP recovery:
Code:
E: Error executing update-binary in xxx.zip
Even posted threads in XDA forums, but got replies suggesting me to use ZipMe app..
I humbly request you to provide me a full-fledged tutorial for making a flashable zip, or correct me if I'm going wrong in any step..
So I wanted to make a PRF to make sure I don't loose my data when updating. Only problem is that the PRFCreator wants a system.sin in the ftf file and not a system_X.sin.
I guess this will be the same for any sin file.
Is there any way to fix this?
Same/ rename it in the ,zip folder
I flashed a flashable system and works without renaming
