I know nothing about android hacking. Poor weather and a headache have given me an abundance of freetime today so I dusted off my old linux hacking skills (7 years rusty) and played around.

Seems that they are using a custom format for the update.zip they have their own update.sh that does all the work

Fun comment from the update:

# FIRST, whack everything in system/xbin for release, i.e. "user" updates
# ...this is in an effort to harden against misuse and abuse

They really spent way too much time not being open.

trying to disassemble the update.sh is a bit problematic because they reference a series of variables from some external source. perhaps I can use my CNC linux box to mount the raw images and see whats in there.
