hi all.
i'm actually on CM 10.1 stable. i want to flash via odin 4.2.2 stock fw.
may i use .pit file for repartition or my telephone will explode?
thank you.
Why would you want/need to flash a PIT for a simple return to stock ? (Only flash PIT's in very specific circumstances/as a last resort/if you have nothing to lose).

i thought that it was useful for a better and cleaner flashing.
Not necessary. Get stock rom from Samfirmware, flash with Odin, done. Playing with PIT's when you don't need to is a recipe for a busted phone (I've seen many many people do this in the 2 yrs I've been coming here).

i am asking this question bcoz i have flashed the official froyo for asia dxjpa
and the flashing way via odin was different cozz pit file 513 is used for flashing it.
so i wanted to know the right flashing way for ddjp6 froyo .. via odin
i downloaded the firmware ddjp6.. and it contains only one .tar file
so i just wanted to know the perfect flashing method
please dont advise me to do it through kies...
thanx
You can flash DDJP6 via odin the same way you flashed DXJPA without using any .pit file and it will work. As I have also flashed the other asian versions without using any .pit file (no .pit file recommended for firmwares with only one file on sam firmwares).
So How does the pit file affect anything ? I flashed DDJP6 with the .803 pit file. I take it that shouldn't be an issue ? Also, is the boot Galaxy "S" animation from the pit file ? I don't like the one I got from the asian froyo with the disjoint s... Does the Indian froyo have that too, or the one from eclair ?

Not sure about what exactly .pit file does but had a problem installing DXJPA earlier with .803pit (failed to flash) then tried with .513 and worked well.
haven't noticed the boot animation.
Did u move from 2.1 or unofficial 2.2?
i have a question..
if there is one tar file, should i put the file in just pda or PDA,PHONE AND CSc and then flash?
PDA for single tar file
jje
Check my signature if you want PDA MODEM & CSC seperately for DDJP6.
You can also try to use XXJPY PDA, JP6 MOEDEM & CSC.

I clarification after flashing with Odin will all the setting & data reset to factory.
Or will all the personal data, Games, applications will remain.
One more thing if the Re-Partation in Unchecked (Not selected). Will the Odin keep my data as it is on the phone or it will reset to factory settings.

And also i need to know possible best options to flash official firmwares.
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.
Hi
I am new to Flashing .. Do I need to do Factory Reset even for flashing only the modem.bin file or not..pls reply.

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.
I accidentally uninstalled Touchwiz using Titanium Backup. Since I already use ADW.Launcher, I thought its not a big deal, until I did a hard reset.
Upon hard reset, my Galaxy S tries to install Touchwiz, which of course fails, and the darn phone just crashes and hangs. I managed to get it to boot up eventually after some trouble, but I'll prefer not to have to do this everytime I hard reset.
Can someone please please send me the TouchWiz apk and odex files so that I can put them back in the system directory ? I'm using stock Froyo 2.2 ( Build FROYO.DXJPA, Kernel 2.6.32.9 ). Please email them to [email protected], or tell me where I can download them.
I know this would cease to be a problem if I just flash a custom rom, and I would love to try that in future, but not now.
Thanks so much in advance.
Easy way would be to go to the Rom Kitchin build update zip with only the Touchwizz in it and flash it from SD card via CWM.

APK might be in Perkas file stash from this forum ..###

Thanks, but I'm on 2.2, which means I have the 3e loader which does not allow me to setup update.zips which are unsigned. For this reason, i was also not able to get CWM installed. I know there's a way to downgrade the loader to 2e, but I'll rather not try that at this moment.
I agree with jje. The best and probably easiest way would be to flash 2e recovery. Chainfire has created a kernel for that purpose and as long as you can access download mode you should be fine.

Flash SpeedMOD kernel with Odin and you'll get CWM.
Hi JJEgan, anfearg, Intratech
Thanks for the advice so far. But would it be possible for me to just simply use a file manager to copy the TouchWiz apk and odex files to my system/app directory ? My phone is rooted, so I know it's possible as long as I can get those files. I'm just not sure if there's anything else that needs to be configured to get Android to use those files during setup. If this is workable, this would be the easiest route. Now I just need to get my hands on those files.
I know Odin can fix this, but I'll rather just stick to the current stock rom for now, and just add the missing 2 files.

I'm going to take a look at Odin and see if its not too risky to flash my i9000. I've flashed my old WinMo phones in the past, so flashing is not new to me. But I've yet to try it for Android. Maybe I'll give it a go.

OK, so I spent a couple of hours googling and downloaded Odin, a couple of stock ROMs, PIT files and USB drivers. Fired up Odin, followed instructions, and I'm now back to 2.1 with the 2e loader. Sweet. Had a heart stopping moment when Odin said "FAILED" in red, so i just reflashed another ROM and it went through successfully.
Looks like I'm in the ROM flashing crowd now.
Quick question : some ROMs ( like the one I flashed successfully with Odin ) contains just a few tars - 1 each for CODE/PDA, CSC and MODEM/Phone.
Others ( like the one that Odin failed to flash ) just contains a bunch of directories with files that have bin, rfs, lfs extensions.
Why are there 2 different types of ROM packaging ? Is the first one ( with the tar files ) specific to Odin ? How do I flash the other type then ? With ClockWorkMod ?

the .tar types are to be flashed via odin only whereas the ones with the directories are to be flashed via CWM(2e recovery).... mix them up and you'll be in trouble... ;-)
You only needed to flash the recovery 2e zip file through Odin from the forum .

The single .tar file with .rfs, .bin, etc. is a high-level package. It's sort of a firmware update and can only be flashed on top of an existing firmware. That is, you don't tick re-partition in odin. The ones that come with 3 separate files for CSC, PDA and MODEM are either medium or low-level packages. I think, the low-level ones come with bootloaders. These can be flashed with re-partition ticked.
Thanks guys.
Today I learned how to flash using ODIN (flashed a European 2.1 ROM onto my international i9000 originally with Asian ROM, and downgraded my 3e loader to 2e).
Then I learned to use ClockWorkMod, which I used to flash Darky's ROM 9.5 ( nice ROM, although booting up seems to take an usually long time. Not sure why ). Finally, I almost had a heart attack, twice, when my phone refused to boot after flashing. Nothing a 3 button combo to download mode couldn't fix though.
Fun fun fun. Thanks all.
Hello Everyone.
I have read so much negative comments on people bricking their GNote by doing data wipe in CWM. So I have steer clear from anything that has a LPY kernel and my GNote is not rooted and no ClockWorkMod Recovery has ever been installed on the device. It is a pure Stock GNote.
Yesterday I decided to go jump a cliff and install ZSLPF stock rom using the PC Odin v1.85 with every boxes ticked just as it shown on the web. Yes the works.
re-partition tick
pit tick
bootloader tick
pda tick
modem tick
csc tick
Installation ran smoothly and everything started up with no problem except a couple of bugs I found in the OS.
1. double click home to start voice talk. program start but it is not register anything from mic. have to cancel it to start again for it to work.
2. Network error occur while accessing Youtube App from a link within an email, but accessing the same link using Internet browser is fine.
3. Don't really like the S Bookmark widget and I miss the buddy widget from Touchwiz
Base on the above reasons, I would very much like to drop the rom back to Gingerbread. But since I have flashed the pit and bootloader from ZSLPF when I upgrade. I'm not really sure which would be a better way to downgrade it:
This is for a pure stock, un-rooted, no CWM only has stock recovery and no custom rom has ever been installed on the device.
I ask please if anyone can help me choose the following. I'm comfortable flashing using PC Odin
1. Flash 2.3.6 GNote stock rom over the stock ZSLPF stock ICS
2. Flash 2.3.6 GNote stock rom with pit and bootloader
3. other suggestions from above
Thanks in Advance
Bad Idea my friend
I think u got bigger things to worry about especially the eMMC firmware bug since now u are in line to receive it by moving to ICS
once you flash the bootloader, you cannot get back to GB already...
I have flashed to LPF via MobileOdin. I had to restored to gb via Cwm recovery from lpf after I changed something. After that I flashed back again using mobileodin.No issues.

err.
i was able to restore to stock GB via pc odin with pit and repartition and the GB i chose only had the one file and no boot loader.
I did this so that i can move to CM9
so IT is possible to go back to GB.
Sorry to OP. Just seen the post saying do not post any question. I will start this thread in the a&a again. Very sorry

Did you use the pit file from here:

I'm planning to use the above pit file and bootloader to flash the phone together with a directly rootable rom.
But let me gather my courage first

Yes that's the pit with repartition checked
I flashed back to a rootable gb
The rootable gb did not come with a bootloader so it's safe to revert to
I then rooted the gb and went back to cm9 all in all a 15 min process

Are those links only for pit files or do they include everything? Do you have to use a pit file for going back to GB?

I choose ZSKJ6 because it is a direct rootable rom
Flashed all of the above using PC Odin v3 1.85 with re-partition ticked.
The installation process went smoothly but the restart was a little bumpy. Got constant FC error at the "Change Language" screen and goes any further. Have to go into stock recovery to preform a wipe on data and cache and woa'la. It's all Good and Happy Days.
Thanks again Mate
Hi guys...i've been trying out custom roms for over a year now and i am thinking to sell my device...because of this i want to install the stock original ROM. Is there anything particular i need to do? Is it enough to download the latest from sammobile and flash it with odin to get rid of custom recovery and everything else i changed? Do i need to tick Re-Partition in odin? Any help is apreciated, thank you.
No repartition required.
Good luck, Odin's a pain sometimes.
