Solved-Updater Script help needed - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I am trying to develop a rom for the z3 compact but cannot get it to install properly because of the updater script. Can anyone be kind enough to provide me with an updater-script for stock .291?
Thanks!

I was getting an error 7 during flashing. I used the updater-script from another stock based rom, and I think that was the problem. So I just created a new file using PRF creator. Hoping it will work.

You just need to edit the updater-script and remove the assert lines.

No problem, I solved it already... Lol, I tried to flash system partition without kernel or anything else, not good for a standalone rom.

[ROM][9.1.A.1.145]Odexed & Deodexed[10/09/13]

Hi all,
NoobTW requested a flashable zip of this firmware and I went ahead and made it. Decided to drop it here because it will probably get more exposure here and more people can enjoy it.
I'm an LT30p user myself so I can't do much in terms of support.
Just wanted to give you this to spark some interest in building your own ROMs and get you going.
Use dsixda's Android Kitchen, once you learn to master it, you're on your way to becoming a ROM Chef.
Please don't ask me for any updates or new features. This is provided "as is".
Feel free to use this as a base for your own ROM as long as give me some credit and link to this thread
Atteched you will find the update-binary and updater-script for reference
Make a full nandroid backup and make sure you have the ftf handy in case of emergency.
Made from the FTF Jozinek provided here
ROOTED (Chainfire's SuperSU 1.25 & busybox 1.21.0)
DEODEXED

I said I wasn't going to update but I was helping out @whalesplaho with some stuff and decided to build it anyway. Please test this and let me know if it works. Also, I need to know if the kernel has been updated for this firmware, I can make a zip for it if needed.

You don't have to because it was included in the deodexed zip but it doesn't hurt if you do.
If you would test it I would be grateful.
There have been several downloads and zero feedback.

I'd like to try it, if my download ever finishes. I'm getting a staggering 12kb/s from DevHost. Hopefully they solve the speed issues.

I have no idea, try reflashing or redownloading.
Already did, went back to stock firmware and nothing appears, load it again and I have the stuck pixel only in 60%+ brightness (always using 10% no problem for me).

Thanks! Been using this for testing purposes, have flashed it quite a bit with no problems at all. Works very nicely just as stock. Would be perfect if the initial zip had recovery already but that's just nitpicking
I'm having a play around with the ROM in the OP using dsixda's kitchen, but as this is the first time I've tried this I need a little advice.
1. When in the kitchen, it wants to change the updater-script to an update script, can I just go ahead and do this ? Or does this step need a XV specific script? I'm confused as to the relevance of the script added in the OP and if I should somehow be using that.
2. Is there a list somewhere of the bloatware (is this only apk's) that can safely be removed ? I can't find one.
Many thanks
Don't change it to update-script, it will mess things up when changing back to updater-script. Best you can do is unpack the ROM to a folder in the root of the kitchen and put WORKING_ in front of it. Just use the kitchen for building the ROM zip.
There's no definitive list of bloatware but if you Google "xperia bloatware" you will find the most common ones. The rest is personal.

pm like davidmarco or soemthign he might have one! this would be frican awesome if you could port it..

Exactly which button you press and got parsing error ?
The apk file doesn't show the icon of photo editor and it showing parsing error when installing which means that the apk doesn't support our current android version.
I'm using TX and I'm facing this problem too.
Maybe OP's android framework has been modified and thus it works.

No, what he means is that when you look at the PhotoEditor.apk file in a file manager, there is no icon. Which is a sign of parsing errors.
Well. Then probably the Honami framework is required to use this port.

@iamkani and @shehabskull
you can read @funky0308 tutorial and i will modified most of the steps are correct for decompiling but to decompile zip files it pretty different procedure as you cannot modify the .9.png without knowing the bordering in order to do that take any apk as example and copy resources.arsc , androidmanifest and res folder from android.zip to that dummy apk which has meta inf folder only nothing else and copy the said files and decompile that apk than only you would be able to modify the .9.png and @funky0308 method wont work for .9 png which has bordering its actually very easy once you get used to it and u have to decompile all the zip folder in the same way else you would not have perfect and elegant modification and for normal png @funky0308 method wil work
