Hey guys. Some of you may or may not know of me, but I'm mrinehart93 at XDA-developers. I have past experience with dev work on the HTC Hero.

So I'm building a ROM right now. Basically it is ThunderROM, except I swapped out the deodexed apks with odexed ones that have been heavily optimized, as well some some other various tweaks. Now I've run into a problem through while trying to flash it. Take note that I am using the updater-script from ThunderROM.

Signature Verification Check: Disabled
"E: Syntax error in update script"

Signature Verification Check: Enabled:
All is well until: "E: Missing file: data/app/at.mysandbox.android.hotspotwidget-1.apk".
"E: Verification Failed".

Do you guys have any idea what's up with that? In all my time building ROMs, I've never had an error come up like that. There are no syntax errors in the update script, since it works fine in ThunderROM. And since when does it check to see if a file is missing?

EDIT

Turns out the problem with the missing file stuff was that the ROM wasn't signed properly. Now it passes verifications, but I get a Syntax error in the update-script still :(
 
I was having the same issues, well still am having them. What are you using to sign the rom, I tried a one click from Asimmons over there in the xda hero forum but it didnt seem to work for me.

Thanks

tbh, I have no idea what the signer is. I just googled "rom signer", and found a thread that had tons of them in it.
 
Nice! If you can find out how to get past the syntax error, please tell :)

Also, how do we edit .PRO files???
 
I pulled the META folder from the rom (after kitchen zipped and signed) and added my own META folder and resigned with a prog called AndroidSigner. Flashed and no more syntax error! :D
 
i saw you post in the cm thread and figured i would reply here. here is a few links that may be of interest or of no help at all lol

a kitchen that is supposed to work with the optimus 540. could try to see if it works with ours. looks like it can check for update-script errors
[KITCHEN][DEC. 7 '10] HTC Android Kitchen, v0.110 [Linux / Mac / Windows] - xda-developers

something about the update-script. looks like a guide lol
update-script syntax - A guide for ROM devs, modders, and themers - xda-developers

it also may help if you posted your update-script and more info on the error if possible. while i'm still learning everything myself, i have some people that i can ask as well as i'm sure some here may be able to see a fix somewhere.

This is the kitchen I am using, and it works well.
 
Well I guess I'll use that kitchen then. Does it work with AOSP ROM's? I've temporarily put that project on hold and have started devving an AOSP one. I have it built, but I can't get the phone to fully boot (I think a kernel problem).

Did you patch the ASOP sources w/ the LG sources?

Yes, I patched the AOSP source with the LG source. How have you gotten yours to boot?

No, didn't compile for me. Did you just copy the LG source into the ASOP source? Or is there a patch program I'm missing somewhere?

If you're running Linux, just drag the folders and files into the AOSP source, and it will ask if you want to merge. Just select Yes, and then if it needs to replace files, click Yes. smccloud, would you mind hopping on an IRC? http://webchat.bikcmp.com:9090/?channels=aospbot#
