[Q] PIT file question - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Will flashing a single tar file containing all three PHONE PDA CSC reformat (mkfs but not re-partition) the handset?
And if not, then will re-partitioning a handset with a PIT file recreate all the file systems ( I presume yes).

[Q] PIT file included in the P7510XXKFC

Hi
This contains a PIT file
http://hotfile.com/dl/123934038/d74c74b/P7510XXKFC.zip.html
Could this PIT file be used to re-partition the 10.1v to increase the system partition from 280mb to 512 mb ?

[Q] /sdcard unaccessible

Good day! This is my first post and don't flame me because i really tried to search
for a solution before posting; either i just didn't look enough or i could'nt understand the solutions.
SO, here's my problem:
I cannot access /sdcard.
I came from CM9 nightly and i know what i did wrong. I mistakenly removed my usb cable when my phone was still in usb mass storage mode. That's the only thing i thought i did wrong.
On ES File explorer i get "SD card empty, unmounted or not present" when accessing /sdcard
So what i did is to return to stock firmware, hard reset, did a factory reset of the internal storage... and thought all is good. IT AIN'T.
What the factory reset did was make a folder /emmc and put the internal storage data there.
I can assume that the /sdcard folder may be corrupted and inaccessible.
I found/thought of some solutions:
1.) Rerouting /emmc as /sdcard like in this thread
Swap the mounting points on ICS (CM9) for emmc and sdcard
2.) Reflashing stock firmware again with PIT file (I haven't done this before, is it that scary? ) Can someone explain what the difference of flashing with or without PIT? And also how can i flash a pit file when the firmware i downloaded has only 1 file (what firmware should i download then?)? Also, should i backup /efs before flashing PIT?
How do I know I am using a correct PIT file?
Any ideas what i should do?
format the sd card cheerz

And that's why phones get bricked you would need to read and learn before flashing stuff .
Do not use PIT file is the recommendation for SGS2 as their is far higher chance of hard bricking a phone .
EFS should be backed up on day one .

How to repartition and gain more space for apps?

I've been trying to repartition my i777 since yesterday using my own .pit file which I got through Heimdall, I edited it so the internal partition will have more space for apps but it keeps getting an error when I try to flash it. Anyone has a .pit file pre-edited or can help me with the issue?

SGS2 - Pit file for odin

Hello all
Can you give me a download to a pit file for odin (my device running stock 4.1.2)?
Does this pit file would fix my phone? (im in kind of a brick)
Thanks
Hi
What have you done before the brick? If it is a MMC Erase Brick because a Wipe Factory Reset in a suceptible kernel, maybe I can help you. But in this case you need to run two tools in CWM Recovery to find out where exactly the internal SD was damaged, and then, use a modified .pit to create the partitions in a whay that the damaged part is 'jumped'
Until there, I uploaded the stock .pit for a 4.1.2 for an internal SD card of 16 gb

repartition with ODIN

Hello,
does repartition with ODIN and pit file erase all data from the phone when flashing a rom? I need to completely wipe internal SDCARD, from apps to user photos, videos, etc.. BROKEN SCREEN. I can only use ODIN in download mode, or boot recovery.
I already flashed with the pit file selecting repartition, but I don't know if it erased all of the data on the internal SD.
Thank you
