Android OTA版本任意升级

Android目前的版本只能旧版本升级新版本，无法升级旧版本。

        Android OTA升级主要是ota_from_target_files.py这个脚本，文件目录在build/tools/releasetools，OTA升级判断版本是否可以升级，主要基于时间戳的判断，既然基于时间戳判断，只要将脚本中时间的判断注释即可。

def WriteFullOTAPackage(input_zip, output_file):
  target_info = BuildInfo(OPTIONS.info_dict, OPTIONS.oem_dicts)
  # We don't know what version it will be installed on top of. We expect the API
  # just won't change very often. Similarly for fstab, it might have changed in
  # the target build.
  target_api_version = target_info["recovery_api_version"]
  script = edify_generator.EdifyGenerator(target_api_version, target_info)
  .......
  .......
  # Assertions (e.g. downgrade check, device properties check).
  ts = target_info.GetBuildProp("ro.build.date.utc")
  ts_text = target_info.GetBuildProp("ro.build.date")
  script.AssertOlderBuild(ts, ts_text)

script.AssertOlderBuild(ts, ts_text)方法是判断时间戳，将此方法注释即可，编译OTA升级包验证，发现下载升级时提示版本不支持升级。

        项目使用的Android版本是9.0，OTA升级会先下载升级包，下载升级也会判断时间戳，只能梳理下载的流程，最后发现在system/update_engine/payload_consumer/delta_performer.cc文件中判断时间戳

ErrorCode DeltaPerformer::ValidateManifest() {
  // Perform assorted checks to sanity check the manifest, make sure it
  // matches data from other sources, and that it is a supported version.

  bool has_old_fields =
       (manifest_.has_old_kernel_info() || manifest_.has_old_rootfs_info());
  for (const PartitionUpdate& partition : manifest_.partitions()) {
    has_old_fields = has_old_fields || partition.has_old_partition_info();
  }
  ......
  ......

  if (manifest_.max_timestamp() < hardware_->GetBuildTimestamp()) {
    LOG(ERROR) << "The current OS build timestamp ("
               << hardware_->GetBuildTimestamp()
               << ") is newer than the maximum timestamp in the manifest ("
               << manifest_.max_timestamp() << ")";
    return ErrorCode::kPayloadTimestampError;
  }

  // TODO(garnold) we should be adding more and more manifest checks, such as
  // partition boundaries etc (see chromium-os:37661)..

  return ErrorCode::kSuccess;
}

其中if判断则是时间戳判断，将此判断注释即可
