[UPDATE][SCRIPT][OTA-UPDATE][06/08/12][NOREFLASH] OTA-Updater

---

So, as the name says, OTA-Updater (Script) for LG Optimus One (no, every device )
You can also use it on Linux, e.g. Ubuntu, Debian and Mint!


You need:
- A server:
I'm using Square7
- A rooted phone
- Busybox
- Terminal Emulator

This Script will not search for updates in background, you need to start the script (via Terminal Emulator) to check for updates
I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone.

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING SOMETHING LIKE
'This doesn't work!' or 'That's spamming!!!'

Guys, there is a REPORT-button, use it instead spamming the thread!!!

1. First, create your own server, I'm using Square7 or you can also use Funpic;
I recommend that you use Square7

2. Install Busybox from Play Store (Busybox Installer), if not installed. It's pre-installed on almost every ROM

3. Create a file called "version.xml"(what file (e.g. xml,txt) doesn't matter) on your server, and type in it the latest available version.
YOU NEED TO EDIT THE FILE EVERYTIME YOU UPDATED THE ROM

4. Now, create a file called "update.xml" on your phone, located in /system/ (Don't forget to mount system) and type in it the running version on the phone



So, now the script

The script should start with this:

#!/system/bin/sh

___

Check if user is running as root;
If no, then message "You are not running this scripts as root."; Abort:

id=`id`; id=`echo ${id#*=}`; id=`echo ${id%%\(*}`; id=`echo ${id%%gid*}`
if test "$id" != "0" && test "$id" != "root"; then
echo " You are not running this script as root."
 exit 0
fi

___

Mount system read-write:

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

___

Now, the script should search for updates; first download a file (I'm using .XML file; doesn't matter what file):

wget -q http://your-server.server.com/version.xml -P /sdcard/Folder/

___

Compare downloaded file with "update.xml" on /system/:
If files are the same (No update), Message: "No update available."; Abort
Else (Update available), Message: "Update available"

if diff /sdcard/Folder/version.xml /system/update.xml
then
echo "No update available"
echo "Aborted"
exit 0
else
echo "Update available!"
fi

___

Clean up folder:

rm /sdcard/Folder/*

___

Update available, download "update.zip" (Read everything carefully, if you read everything carefully, you'll know what the file should contain...):

wget -q http://your-server.server.com/update.zip -P /sdcard/Folder/

___

Unzip "update.zip":

unzip -q /sdcard/Folder/update.zip -d /sdcard/Folder/

___

Set permissions:

chmod 0777 /sdcard/Folder/updater.sh

___

Update ROM:

sh /sdcard/Folder/updater.sh

First phase done, save the file as "update" (Not .TXT or XML, nothing) and copy the file to /system/bin/ and set permissions

___________

Update.zip

So, now the update.zip:
This file contains system-files, the new update.xml and the updater-script (.sh, not the updater-script in flashable packages!!!)

So, first, you need to SAVE the files to the update.zip, I mean do not compress or something else, only SAVE, else "Unzip" wont work

SAVE all changed files to update.zip

Upload the update.zip to your server. You need to edit the update.zip everytime, when you updated the ROM

Now, the updater.sh:

It should start with this:

#!/system/bin/sh

___

Now, the changed files should be copied to them right location:
I've only changed the build.prop, it's a example, you can change everything you want:

cp -f /sdcard/Folder/build.prop /system/

___

COPY THE NEW update.xml TO SYSTEM :

cp /sdcard/Folder/update.xml /system/

___

Reboot:

reboot

___

And done!
If you want to update:
1. Start Terminal Emulator
2. Type su and press ENTER
3. Type update and press ENTER
4. Updating...


Customize it, and add more functions, but I'll update this script anyway.



___

My "Update" in /system/bin/ looks like this:

#!/system/bin/sh
id=`id`; id=`echo ${id#*=}`; id=`echo ${id%%\(*}`; id=`echo ${id%%gid*}`
if test "$id" != "0" && test "$id" != "root"; then
echo " You are not running this script as root."
 exit 0
fi 
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
wget -q http://cloudos.square7.ch/Update/One/version.xml -P /sdcard/CloudOS/update/
if diff /sdcard/CloudOS/update/version.xml /system/update.xml
then
echo "No update available"
echo "Aborted"
exit 0
else
echo "Update available!"
fi
rm /sdcard/CloudOS/update/*
wget -q http://cloudos.square7.ch/Update/One/update.zip -P /sdcard/CloudOS/update/
unzip /sdcard/CloudOS/update/update.zip /sdcard/CloudOS/update/
chmod 0777 /sdcard/CloudOS/update/updater.sh
sh /sdcard/CloudOS/update/updater.sh

And my updater.sh:

#!/system/bin/sh
cp -f /sdcard/CloudOS/update/build.prop /system/
cp -f /sdcard/CloudOS/update/update.xml /system/
reboot

If you want to use my work, then your work must be open-source, too!

CHANGELOG:

06/08/12:
- Added "Check root before updating"-feature

04/08/12:
- Initial release

Plans:
- Better thread-design
