@badagila
I dont think Samsung Galaxy Gio has mtd block partitions
It has rfs partitions or ext4 partition depending on kernel & recovery used ...
Code: 
format("MTD", "system");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
wont work ...
Try to check some other zips for options
AFAIK ,busybox is used to mount the partition using run_program

Not really ...
I have used question but thats almost two years ago now ...
I uses to use my own updater-script so it didn't matter really ...

These is how you mount system ...
Code: 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
Code: 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
Like i said ,it matters on what ROM you are using ...
Stock Galaxy Gio uses rfs filesystem
Custom Roms usually use ext4 file system ...

You will have to specify the format option likewise....
Easiest way is to open an updater-script of a working script and study it ...
it should be something like

format("ext4", "emmc","/dev/block/stl12");

use at your own descretion ...
Note :kernel should support ext4 and recovery should support ext4 format or you will have to use mkfs.ext4 manually

how long you study the updater-script before you master it?

I was pretty much right ....

Format system
Code: 
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl12");
Mount system
Code: 
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl12", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl13", "/data");
Install Rom
Code: 
package_extract_dir("recovery", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
Symlink and Fix permissions /Misc actions
Code: 
symlink("busybox", "/system/xbin/[", "/system/xbin/[[",
        "/system/xbin/adjtimex", "/system/xbin/arp", "/system/xbin/ash",

Flash kernel
Code: 
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
       write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
       delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
Unmount system
Code: 
unmount("/system");
Updater scripts are pretty much black and white ...No chance / use of modification ...

Disclaimer : if some genius reads this and attempts to flash a kernel using the code in updater script on an Xperia device . DONT . Samsung devices have two kernel partitions ,one for recovery and one for boot .
Xperia devices use one kernel with two ramdisks ....
Attempting to use this script will perma brick the device or wont do anything if you are lucky...

I created the image with the following commands

Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/sdcard/modem.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/mnt/sdcard/aboot.img
Now I want to create a flashable zip to flash these images to another copy of device.

1) Do I need to format partition before I write raw image at first place?
2) Is this script okay if I assume no formatting needed?

Code: 
ui_print("Updating modem.img ...");
write_raw_image("aboot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5");
write_raw_image("modem.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1");
ui_print("Finished!");
ui_print();
If it needs formating, I use Parittion Table app to identify the partitions. It shows for /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 mount point and filesystem type ("vfat") but for /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 this info is absent.

3) How to I know the filesystem type "EMMC" or "MTD" or what?

Thanks.


EDIT:
the proper way would be to just

Code: 
package_extract_file("aboot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5");
package_extract_file("modem.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1");

I've created a MOD and a flashable zip file to install it.

The issue, for which I cant seem to find any help on is:

On certain devices it is required to edit the /system/csc/feature.xml file.

I dont want to replace the file all together, but just add some lines (if the set isnt there) or edit the lines (if it already is there).

I figure its just some code i need to add into the updater-script, but dont know where to start?

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA.

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl12", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl13", "/data");
Install Rom

It will work on Samsung devices but be careful .Samsung doesn't have a unified partition layout . WHat might work for Galaxy S2 wont work for Note 2 or Galaxy mini ...Research your device and then apply your logic .
My friend's phone was bricked because he flashed kernel at wrong place .

Auto-Scripts are good if you know a device configuration or the device is standard .
Samsung doesn't use standard stuff ....
If you have a ROM which installs properly ,and doesn't brick device than you can use that with Android Kitchen ...
