Clockwork update.zip error "status 6"

[chevycam94]

Trying to install a modified update.zip I made, and I keep getting an error, Status 6. If I swap in say, Pete's updater_script, into the update.zip, then try to install again, it works just fine. So I have narrowed it down to the updater-script. Not sure whats holding me back here.

Is there anything special I should do to the updater-script file? signing the zip file doesnt change anything. What gives here?

Tmcb82. Send me your zip and I will fix it. Status 6 is basically trying to read a file that's not encoded in UNIX. Thanks ChevyNo1 for pointing that out!

I'm getting this same problem with a completely different phone and recovery.

What a pain. All I did to the update.zip was take some things OUT of the update-script, and remove some files from the files within update.zip, and re-sign the zip file.

Hmmm...

Make sure you edit the updater-script with only a true unix compatiable editor like notepad or notepad++ NOT wordpad or alike as it make it unreadable by android and produce an error 6.

Oh, that's exactly what I did too, I used Wordpad, because of how it parses the lines 'better looking' than Notepad for me.

Thanks for your help. That's perfect.

Ok so are there tools out there for fixing this problem? What if the corruption may or may not be isolated to updater.script? In other words, is there a tool that scans folders and converts any files found not encoded correctly to unix encoding? Thank you for clearly stating the problem.
