Hi,
I have a little, maybe silly question, i was reading a thread of Odia, and i just want to understand that if I use .Pit for flashing and tick Re-Partition, do I need to flash a Stock ROM (Im ony using stock roms) that comes with bootloader? or can I get the latest ICS Stock Rom from intratech or sammobile and flash it with the .Pit ?
Resuming;
Will my bootloader get erased in this process?
Will all the system files be erased because of the re-partition? (Like when we create a new partition in Windows and everything that was on HD gets lost forever lol) ??
Thank you in advance ! =D

No. Never click repartitions or play with pit files. Judging by you not knowing how Odin is spelled, you do not know how to use it

Yeah.. i was talking about a thread started by Odia (Xda member) in developers area... I cant post there yet coz im new here in this forum, but i read it very often since i got my SGSII in 2011..
We can't play with .Pit but We should use when phone is bricked and u cant go on recovery mode (only in download mode), that happens when Nand-rw is broken, and thats can only be fixed re-partitioning your phone with .Pit.
Now my question is.. re-partitioning will reset my bootloader so I will have to flash a Rom with one or not..?
Thank you by ur concern anyway ! =D
Ps: Judging is not cool..
Hey, if u got here in this thread and has the same question as I did, i got the answer..
After reading this thread (Guide)
I found that the bootloader is NOT erased when using .Pit and re-partitioning, bootloader is only replaced if u flash a new one using Odin. So there is no need to use .Pit and re-partition with a bootloader at the same time.
If u are new and dont know what .Pit files are or how to use them, read carefully the thread i linked above.
Thank You to everybody who read this post and took a minute thinking about the answer !

Hello,
I hope I don't break any rules,
but I have a question regarding odin,
I followed this thread, and since I can't post there, I'm trying here.
So my question is, is it possible to make an Odin flashable file from the files that I got from the thread I followed, since I prefer to flash with Odin.
Kind regards!

Cwm recovery won't raise your custom binarie counter !
Odin will.
And to flash with ODIN means you would be able to make from your files an ext4.img and then convert it to a stock samsung (linux ?) specific .img then put your .img in a .tar and flash it via Odin.
I didn't see any tool for this.

Hi yall...
Im sitting here with a good mates i9100... He has flashed it, and now it does not have any signal...
IMEI is just blank, and I think this is because of the baseband radio mismatch as it is showing baseband unknown...
I have tried:
Flashing I9100XXKG2
And in odin I have ticked:
Re-partition
Auto reboot
F. Reset Time
Phone Bootloader Update... (This should update the bootloader, shouldent it??)
Any great ideas??

From what i have seen for flashing through ODIN, they always mention that re-partition should not be checked. Dont' know why but i guess probably that may have messed up something on the phone. Please google to find out what re-partition does.

Do you have backuped your /EFS folder or not?
We recived it in this condetion... It was already f***** when we started playing arround with it
well considering my un-flashed (freshly unboxed untouched after 2 day usage) S2 managed to lose its IMEI all by itself (showing exactly what you're being shown now), this is entirely a Samsung fault.
I gave it at a local service center and it took them a few days to repair it. They said they had to replace the motherboard and re-flash it (the original mobo wasnt taking flashes apparently).
Dont know if this helps ya.
First off: Stay faaar away from the "Repartition" tickbox.
Sounds like the EFS partition is messed up, without a (working) backup of it, there isn't much that can be done, I think.
Try flashing one of the _user_low stock ROMs (without repartition!) those contain pretty much every part that can/should be flashed.
Maybe this helps.
If not, send it in for repair.
Could you please give me a link to such a ROM ?

No, SuperOneClick doesn't work on a stock ROM, that's right.
Download Chainfire's CF-Root kernel for XXKG2 and flash it too.

oh, that is no biggey. once you are done flashing, get into recovery mode and do a factory data reset. that should fix the issues. how ever, make sure that you have got a SUCCESSFUL flash with odin and no corrupted files. if that is the case, do a fresh download from samfirmware.
You have to first repartition your Tab besides flashing the stock Rom....

Actually Zaclimon I have it bookmarked on my browser lol. It was one of the first things I found and it helped a lot. I usually suggest going to it when people ask how to flash, where are stock roms, and etc . I think that the thread should stay permanently at the top of the Q&A section.
I am a noob using a sgs2(international version) running CM9 stable and for certain reasons I want to restore it to the state i got it, i already used the Triangle Away app and removed the triangle and reset the counter and i also understand that flashing the stock rom doesn't increase the count but I don't know about the matter related to restoring to stock I watched a couple of videos and I am confused in some cases they are using 3 or more files in the procedure, like in Odin they have a file for PDA, Kernel, Csc likewise and some are just talking about using only the PDA file, so could someone explain what is happening?
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could give me a link to a unbranded US or UK stock gingerbread 2.3.6 (i cant understand what to select from the other forums because I can't understand files named KHJS_LHDG ..... Etc ) and a way to use that rom with Odin to go back to perfect out of the box situation.

there are 2 formats for the stock rom. 1 .rar archive with all CODE MODEM KERNEL CSC as tar.md5 files compressed in a .rar archive.. and the other is the single .tar.md5 file that inside have all in one (kernel, modem...).
if you flash the single tar.md5 it will replace your entire ROM including kernel & modem.
if you flash the multiple file inside the .rar you must put the files you unzipped in their respective slots. be careful with that. I think for this method is needed also a PIT file but I'm not sure.
I always flash the single .tar.md5 file because it's easier

Thanks a bunch that cleared up many of my doubts, so that's it people whoever is confused and reading this, I am perfectly satisfied.
Stock firmware flashing after reseting the counter does remove all traces of root and sammobile gives all the stock firmware needed for your phone. Just be careful enough to select the right version for your model and region and also if present your carrier brand.

Then you didn't wipe properly.
Be sure to wipe /data, /system & /cache from your custom recovery before flashing stock firmware to be sure. Just a factory reset after flasing probably is enough but why not take advantage of the custom recovery to wipe all and be sure

Thanks, but what I meant was whether the modem package is included within the tar.md5 file since the rest (CSC, Pit, ..) are apparently included.
Hmmm maybe if I try extraction of the tar file could I get my answer? Or will it be complicated jibberish or can I extract it at all?
I plan on Reaming tar.md5 to just tar for extraction.

You are welcome.
A note about the pit when you have it:
most of the time, you don't have (and should not) tick these boxes
in Odin.
I used a pit once because I though it would repair my filesystem,
and in someway it did, but most of the time in all flashing tutorial the advice
is not using it.
