You could find a way to
Flash system.img, data.img, and cache.img using scripts
then, use updater-script to copy those "scripts" that you want to

I converted my nandroid backup into update.zip
.
The question now is
.
how can I flash system.img,data.img,cache.img to get those scripts for my updater-script?
U said flash system.img,data.img,cache.img using scripts
.
But i didn't have scripts?
.
I have a meta inf folder but updater-script is not edited because I didnt know what script I will put in this
.
Sorry i didnt understand how to get those scripts while I flash it
.

If you already have an update.zip that works, then, probably the existing updater-script flashes the system.img, data.img and cache.img... Could you please post the updater-script from the "update.zip" that you obatained :fingers-crossed:
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}
I like modify all my ROMs, and in Android 5.0, the /system is on a system.dat and I don't know how to extract it, please help me
Up ?
I am up to this too. Before this .dat thing was very easy to de-bloat the ROM before installing it.
A different approach is to have a flashable zip with an updater- script that deletes apps / files and adds / changes etc. Its a bit more work at the beginning but it will save you editing every ROM zip you download as it'll only take a second to flash it.

Can you provide/point us a simple tutorial for making a simple flashable script that removes apps?
Thanks.

I uploaded mine in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/editing-build-prop-via-flashable-zip-t2949308
Please note, it deletes some stuff, adds anything in the /system folder of the zip to your /system partition and also runs a bash shell script (.sh) to modify the build prop. If you look in the updater-script, you should be able to figure it out from there.

Already figured it out. Thank you!
you can also get an ext4 fs editor (the .dat is actually an ext4 image), such as ext4_unpacker and so on

Hi guys, I searched a bit but I didn't find anything.
My question is: since pixel has A/B partition system, normal zips doesn't flash. I tried look in existent zips but they are aroma or kernel zips which makes difficult to understand (at least, for me).
Can someone tell me how (or post an example empty zip) to create a flashable zip for pixel?
Maybe something to change is about /system folder and /system_root because they contain the same files?
I really don't understand, please let me know if you can help me with installer script, thanks.
Pretty much everything has to be ported specifically to accommodate the pixels A/B file structure
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
