1. I'm seeing newer (Android 5+) OTAs whose updater-script contains post-install SHA1 checks that will be reported as failures (false expressions) by this app. I've added (v2. 5) a new "strict mode" preference/setting that will "allow" non-existent files to not make the expression their referenced in evaluate to false (which they would otherwise). Version 2. 6 brings additional logic to handle these post-install SHA1 checks by allowing them to not be evaluated as false when detected after seeing a "verifying system partition files" ui_print expression. 4. Additionally, in v2. 6, the app will suppress any errors past the 25th one since the output becomes unwieldy (you can revert this change in the preference/settings menu).
2. The OTA Verifier app can be used to evaluate an over-the-air (OTA) update. zip or other flashable . zip file before you attempt the install or afterwards to help you figure-out why the installation may have failed.
3. Whenever there's an over-the-air (OTA) update sent-out or made available (either leaked or official), there's always a large number of users that end-up reporting that their installations have failed with the infamous and dreaded "E:Error in /sdcard/xxx. zip (Status 7) installation aborted". error message.
4. While I wrote this app principally to evaluate OTA update. zip files, the edify updater-script files are used and written by ROM devs and others who created flashable . zip files.
5. Savvy root users probably already know that after a failed . zip file installation, you should be able to view the /cache/recovery/last_log file to view the information about what might have failed.
6. This app can be used to evaluate those file's updater-script files, too. 3.
7. The app will only evaluate the expressions and conditions contained inside the updater-script file inside the . zip file that's trying to be installed.
8. OTA Verifier will point-out what files and conditions are being tested so that you can more easily attempt to correct these issues.
9. A: No, this app evaluates and interprets the newer edify updater-script files (notice the "r" in "updater"). 2.
10. A: No, but rooted devices will have more conditions that the app will be able to test/evaluate because it will have access to protected files that non-rooted devices don't.
11. Q: Will this app work on older devices or flashable . zip files that use the amend update-script files?
12. The app basically operates in "read-only" mode with respect to the . zip file being evaluated.
13. Click the "Select File" button and navigate to desired . 3.
