I am wanting to flash EB13 back and make everything stock.
Question is I have the EB13.tar.md5 files, and I will use Odin with that in the PDA section.
What PIT file do I use with that or does it not matter. I have the one that came with Odin as well as s1_odin_20100512.pit
I just dont know what the pit file does and if it needs to be paired with other files correctly.
Thx,
Force
When flashing a full tar file pit is not needed. Just pit the tar in PDA and make sure reboot is the only thing checked on the left side and hit Start. Should take like 3-5 mins total

wondering what's the most appropriate pit file?
the reason I ask, is because when I use the pit file that comes with odin, I can flash both DI18 and DK28, but when I go to root dk28, I get out of space errors when it tries to push clockwork recovery to /system. I assume the majority of people aren't getting this error and therefore have a different partition setup.
so I ask, what pit should my phone be setup with?
Hello
I'm trying to flash the jpu modem on stock jpy since I had good results with it. I don't really know where to get it correctly. I've found a jpu modem in the doc rom thread, but it's some zip file, i took the modem.bin file out and just made a TAR out of it. seems other modem tar files include just that.
But i don't know if it's correct.
And I'd welcome info on how to flash it, should I put it in the phone field?
Since this is a great way to brick a phone, I'd like some advice on this matter.
Thank you.
You can use heimdal and just flash the modem.bin directly

Don't put it in a TAR file. Just flash the modem.bin directly. Put it in the "PHONE" box. Make sure Repartition is unchecked and no other fields are filled.
After it's done, go to About to verify it flashed correctly. (Look at Baseband)
Done, running JPU modem on stock JPY...seems to also boot faster now
Thank you.

The .zip file in Doc's thread is meant to be flashed through recovery (CWM or 2e). But I guess flashing through Odin worked for you, so all's well.

they r not flashing .zip they are flashing modem.bin in ODIN. It works.
My phone is in download mode and keeps failing when I try to flash to stock firmware. I heard I just need the PIT file to re-partition in odin and then I should be all good to go.

Hi Guys
After trying out ART I realized that my System Partition went up from 5.5gb (Approx) to 7.2gb(Approx). At the time, I thought that as soon as I returned to Dalvik the System Partition would restore itself to normal but it has not.
I have done a lot of research but have not been able to work out how I can get my 1.5gb back now that i have returned to Dalvik full time.
I was wondering if there is a way to restore the system partition back to its stock size via re-partitioning or some other method. Is this what the Re-partition check box is for in Odin? If so, does this mean I need to flash a fresh stock rom and go from there?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Try re-flashing the stock firmware for your device via Odin with the PIT file.
You can obtain a PIT file from another device in its original state.

Thanks mate.
Will give it a try tonight.
Never use a pit file unless a firmware requires it.
The safest way is to use kies and do software restore from settings. It will flash the latest file for your S/N.
Just remember to add the pit file before you check the repartition box in Odin lol
I've heard of a few people being told to repartition, so they've just ticked the repartition box, but not added a pit file. If you do that, your phone is hard bricked, and only a JTAG box will fix it..
But it's a safe procedure if you do it properly, I've done it many times.
Hello, I've got this question when I downloaded a new firmware for my phone and found another pit file inside the package. I used that pit file to flash the new firmware instead of the original one extracted from my phone using Heimdall, but it gave me some issues such as file systems with wrong size and so on.
I found an option called "repartition" in Heimdall and Odin which does upload the new pit into the phone but I haven't tried that option yet.
The question is: Should I update the new partition file to my phone using the repartition option? Or should I keep using the old one?
Another question: Why do new releases have a pit file? Does that mean that I have to repartition my phone?
As you can see attached below the two files differ from 3 kilobytes of size

Well, it seems you've been using the original pit your whole life. Thanks for answering.
