Yes, just like an OTA should, you just need to make a nice update.zip though, if the updaterscript isn't right it wont work

I think you are doing something wrong, its just going to the recovery as you say, its stuck on flashing screen, its the flashing screen of the recovery. be sure you are using ClockWork Mod Recovery and that the updaterscript is working perfectly. If you are sure you are using clockworkmod and the updaterscript is working the right way, please send me a pm with the recovery.log right after trying to flash using the OTA Updater.

Great work guys! Godspeed!

Thanks mate!

I can flash my rom normally in cwm recovery 5 and I dont think there're something wrong while it can run well I will send u log asap. Btw, I love ur work and I want to use it. Thank for ur hard work

Edit: tried again and after pressing "install zip" it boots and stucks at screen with a warning triangle and android icon. Here is log file. After failure of flashing via Updater, I tried to open recovery manually and flash the downloaded file. It can be flashed well.

Hey mate,

I would like to tell you what you'd do wrong there.
You'd not re-sign your rom after you edited the build.prop and adding the apk file i think.
Or you didn't sign the rom at all.

Please resign the rom, then check md5 hash again, and update that in the control panel.

Finding update package...
I:Update location: /sdcard/OTA-Updater/download/The Myth 2_2.0.1.zip
Opening update package...
I:1 key(s) loaded from /res/keys
Verifying update package...
I:verify_file returned 1
[B]E:signature verification failed[/B]
[B]Installation aborted.[/B]

I hope you will be able to fix it that way, if not, please tell me about it

I tell you, remake the rom, add things in build.prop, add the apk, and after that sign the rom...
Try again, if its then still not working, just come back, we'd test it with many different roms, and also how it gave the signature error. and it only gives the signature error when its edited after the rom has been signed without re-signing.

But I did re-signed it If it's not resigned, it cannot be flashable.

Please ask a real rom dev how to re-sign a rom, you cant just resign without removing the old sign. i bet some rom devs will be able to explain you how to sign your rom the right way.
