Backstab HD exclusivity deal for Sony Xperia xpired, and the game has been released to generic Android
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftSDHM
However it is not supported on SGS2??????
SGS1 is supported but not SGS2.
Anyone knows what the deal is?
I have managed to run Backstab on my SGS2. You will have to edit your build.prop or backstab apk, so game will think you have SGS and then use Chainfire3D with Qualcomm plugin to run it.

how do i do that???
You can edit build.prop in many ways. I usually use root explorer. It's located in /system. If you don't know what you are doing, I'd recommend not to, and rather read up a bit on a few things first. The forums are brim-filled with useful information.
How to modify the apk? Guess it's the safest solution
phone not starting after build.prop editing

Hi! I edited the build.prop and changed i9100 to 19000 so that I could play backstab HD. I changed ALL the values I could find. Later on I read on the forum that you have to change in only 4 places! Then I powered off the phone. When I restarted, the phone just reached the yellow triangle and after that ..NOTHING! what have I done?!! Is there a way to get my phone back on again? Do I have to flash it? (The option to flash is available when I press all three buttons together) . Can i get my phone to start up without flashing?
Please help! I just bought it last week! I'm cursing myself for doing this without knowing a way out, but I'm sure there is a way! please help!
EDIT: I tried a data wipe from recovery mode. the problem persists! Am I SC$#@ed or is there hope?

Restore from a backup that you hopefully have taken in CWM. If you have not done this you might have to flash using ODIN to get it back working again.
EDIT: Installed villainROM following instruction from
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/4830-GUIDE-Noobs-this-is-how-to-install-VillainRom?
Please ignore the below response. I guess the problem was me editing the build.rop without knowing what I am doing! * hours of trauma are over. Thanks to all the developers at XDA and villainROM! you guys rock. However, let this be a lesson for all noobs like me not to mess with system files without knowing what they are dealing with first! I was lucky to be saved from a brick. Others (And I've read about them) might not be so lucky. Thanks again all. i m wiser now.
OK. I;m trying flashing with ODIN. I'm trying to follow steps in this guide for Indian ROM.
http://gadgets.apnafundaz.com/2011/...irmware-kernel-cf-root-cw-step-by-step-guide/
I got pastthe first step, that is installing clockwork recovery mod. But te phone did not reboot successfully after this. Same problem. It shows the yellow triangle and then just goes blank.
I then did the second step from ODIN, as quoted below...
Extract KE8 Kernel zImage to get the zImage file.
- Put the zImage file on the root folder of Internal SD Card. ( do not put it inside any folder of Internal SD Card. )
- Repeat the steps for flashing the kernel with Odin3 but with SamsungGalaxyS2-KE8kernel-zImage.tar file instead of CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE7-v3.6-CWM3.tar.
However Odin does not go beyond

Hi! can you tell me what changes you made to the build.prop. I changed ALL the '9100' values to '9000' and had to reflash my phone.

TT.TT today, I somehow bricked my galaxy player...Can anyone please try to upload the Pit file..
Here is how to do it:
1. Download Heimdall Suite
2. Open "heimdall-frontend"
if you encounter errors in windows, you need to install the zadig libusb driver. 3. Remember to "show all" from the menu in the program.
4. Put your device in Download mode
5. Click the Utilities tab
6. select an output filename. The file should always end with a "pit" I'd recommend something descriptive. eg..
GalaxyPlayer4.0-16G.pit, or G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig.pit
7. upload that file to mediafire
upload it to mediafire

yup...I saved my ROM before re-partitioned it ...>< what is your version? Mine is Galaxy player 4.0 16Gb?
I will upload it, and post it here as long as I am done.
I sent you the link via inbox. The forum didn't let me post the link.
After restoring the ROM, can me do me a favor? TT.TT follow the 1st post and upload the PIT file.....I will be really really appreciate it.
Thanks
I got the PIT file. But, what to do next? TT.TT any idea?
Sorry I answer so late, but I wasn't able to make it work. I think I also need pit file, because when I bricked my device I used a pit file from US version.
If you have the pit file you can use Odin to write the ROM
Regards.
I see I am not only guy having crashed their original PIt file. (sad)
I see a group of XDA expert working on that but I am not allowed to post because I am beginner.
I have seen many post about PITs file availability but no one about the 32Gb version i am looking for.
I have already tested many of them with different FW without big success, the best is to reach the Galaxy player logo after the boot signal. I seems it is a lack of space may be because i use the 16Gb version.( all wipes done)
I read that the original PIT is present in every FW, how can we extract it from there in order to replace the wrong we are using?
Can you adress my request to some expert if not boring.
FR Lolo
Hi!
I know that I'm asking about forbidden subjects but I have no intention of doing something stupid just want to understand some things about S2.
That's what I think I understand:
- PIT is a file that contains partition layout on our device, that partitions are later flashed with files from rom package (files are partition images in fact)
- Normally we do not need to re-partition because there is only one partition description available on S2 - so all ROM share it (also it's not recommented coz if sth goes wrong we have big problem - device without partitions)
- EFS is one of the partitions and it shouldn't be touched (contains IMEI etc)
Here is my question:
Some people flash ROM with PIT and repartition and still have working device - how is it possible ?? - re-partition should wipe everything including EFS.
EDIT:
One more thing - when exploring XXKP8 rom package from sammobile.com noticed that there is PIT file and some file named
I9100_EFS_I9100XXKP8_CL42141_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
that contains efs.img file I wonder what is this file for. Some generic EFS image ??
Regards
Slig
The pit is used for partition mapping, basically telling the program which block device is which partition. You dont need to use the pit as Odin can pull it from the phone, this also prevents people from using i9000 pits (sgs1, and yes this has happened)
Efs has both generic files and device specific files, I think.

The recommendation is not to flash PIT file or repartition unless you know what you are doing .
PIT does not wipe EFS .
Their is a PIT file description post on the forum .

Yes, I'm fully aware of that. I'm just the kind of person that like to know why so I decided to investigate this subject deeper. Another thing is that I'll probably try to use heimdall and that program requires better understanding than "use PDA field in Odin".
You can just flash a .pit file and check repartition. You just have to make sure your flash won't fail. If you have faulty drivers or a damaged usb cable, then it will brick your phone.
If you want to try it, make a flash without .pit and repartition and if it works you can use them. Its just something unexperienced users should not use.
Unless something changes, we don't need to repartition, (one case might be if android plus tw is bigger than 500 ish megs Samsung would need to make the system partition bigger) so we just don't need to use it, and making the risks sound worse it keeps newbies away.

Hello
I have installed Mobile ODIN pro 2.36 .
It tells me that is not compatible with my Samsung GT-I9100P.
In Chainfire's thread "Getting your device supported"
- I cannot find the .PIT or .OPS file for your device, please attach it !
Any idea where these files are located ?
Thanks
Why do you want to mess with the very dangerous PIT file easy way to brick a phone .
PIT will be with the stock firmware on sammobile.com

According to chainfire this is how to get your device supported
The list of devices currently supported by Mobile ODIN is rather short. Not all devices are created equal, and devices need some work to be supported. Currently I am only considering Samsung devices for future support.
At the minimum, I will need some information from you about your device to figure out the partitions, their layout, and how to flash them. You can gather this information by downloading and installing the app. If your device is not supported, it will offer to make a dump file for you. This will take a while. Post the dump file in this thread.
If you can find a .PIT or .OPS file for your device, please attach it !
After that, I will also need a kernel for this device running preferably CWM5, but if unavailable, CWM4 or CWM3 may also do.
If you are lucky, this will allow me to make your device compatible. It may be required that you do some rather lengthy and extensive testing for me.

The OP needs the .pit for his device in order to send to chainfire and get his device supported.

and have tegrak kernel (but no tegrak name in the about phone)
please someone help me... i don't want my money go to waste

yeah, i tried flashing both odin and heimdall, 1st i tried the heimdall but i can't save the pit.file because of an error so i tried flashing thru ODIN, i flashed the i9100.pit and it PASS in the odin, but after the reboot, the phone is still the way it is, there's no difference.. i even tried the method that uses a pit file, pda, phone and scs but it have an error after completion, i tried reflashing the tegrak kernel, it passes in odin but the tegrak kernel build 25 doesnt change .. i tried reformatting the internal sd, after the format complete, the sd is clean, but after i reboot, the files are back again.. this is so sick. i put an sd card (2gb) on it, and when i take a picture i save it on the external sd.. the file is there i can see it even i boot, but the problem still there, the files in the internal sd is still there.. i tried formatting it in my laptop, it complete, i defrag, check disk, it all says no problem in the sd and the formatting is complete without error, but then when i reboot the phone, all the files are back again.. it consums 11gb in the internal and leaves 400mb ..
EDIT: i just found something weird, i went to a friend of mine who also have a m250s (but already converted to i9100) i checked the status on his phone and found out that i don't have an IMEI and a Serial Number,.. is it connected to my unwritable internal storage problem?
anyone help me please? i can't use my phone
its been 4 days already. i can't use the phone because even though i don't install anything the social hub, gallery and other system applications force closes from time to time.. its really frustrating

i dont think it will be as easy as it sounds...in the past you needed to be s-off + have a different patition layout to flash
are there such differences in hidden partition ..i mean that it could only 2gb or so..? and rest to data

What do you mean with "to be s-off"? The "different partition layout to flash" is the pit file the OP is looking for
Yes there are differences. I found an article about the new S6 devices and there were screen shots with less data used by the system. There was more data "free" than the whole actual size of my /data partition.
So I inspected my partition layout and found that the biggest partitions of my device are /data (~20 GB) /system (~4 GB) and /hidden (~4 GB).
So I'm looking for a different pit file to minimize /hidden and maximize /data

ah sorry for misunderstanding..if I say in the past...I mean HTC times..I forget to say that sometimes..and on HTC phones you must have security off..while the phones come with and boatloader looked..boatloader can be official unlocked for root and such things but to flash different and selfmade partitions you must have S-off..
anyway so you needs an pit.. I saw the best way is if you are rooted and you needs it for the 32GB model..so I can't help..mine is 128GB..
that's the thing I don't know..is there any possibility to change the sizes of the partitions from the extracted pit from the phone...
and if there is such a thing
