Yes, new rom replace all things
well since you have already done factory reset (and lost all your data) no point in whats written below
But if it happens next time and you want to preserve data, please mention if you are running an odexed/deodexed rom. Someone nice here can upload the file(s) you need and you can push them to your phone using adb

Yes stock rom will always be odexed. to check you can go to app or framework folder in system/ and see if you have corresponding odex files for apk or jars.
Edit: Also a suggestion. Don't flash mods that do not specefically say that they are for odexed roms (if you are on stock). For brightness control you can use lux brightness free from market. it gives you control on how much brightness you need

Hm, when i choose "mount /sdcard" nothing happens, screen just refreshes, no errors, but i cant "unmount /sdcard"
Thats strange.
add: But i can "apply zip from /sdcard" and can see all directories in /sdcard
Normally on stock GingerBread, for the 16GB model it has a 2GB partition for system and apps and the rest for the "Internal SD" partition (usually 13~ clean GB).
Does this change on ICS? I remember reading when ICS was presented that all the space was unified, does this apply for the ICS stock roms for the S2 or this is hardware-based and doesn't apply?
Anyway, in the case nothing changes in the ICS stock roms, there's any way to modify those partitions size?
Thank you in advance.
Okay, after reading and asking some, I've got to the conclusion that you can modify the partitions structure, however it involves touching the .pit so its a major risk issue.
I'd be glad if you could confirm guys.

Hi Guys
Finally rooted my i9300 from the step by step guide on here with Odin.
Now, i've downloaded Titanium and backed up to external SD card which i will also take a copy and save this on the PC.
And now im confused with Nandroid?
At first I thought it was another type of app, but then found that you do it in recovery mod, so I done this, but do not get the same options of what ive seen on the web. Then last night I think I found something that said I need CWM or something like this, and its installed with Odin?
Can someone clear this part up for me please? If I do have to download a type of file, then where would i find this?
I would look at my history, but the Mrs was on this last night buying on the Next sales!!!! so there are reems and reems of crud on my history!!!!!
I dont fancy attempting anything until I have this nandroid backup done.
Many thanks.

PhilZ Touch is a much more advance compared to the one you just posted plus it uses the latest CWM build (6.0.3.7) so I recommend that you install the one I posted rather than the original CWM one.

Do they both need to be done, or just 1?

The most recent one for our S3 is 5.11.2. Download the .tar one and follow the instructions with the odin pictures.
When an update is available you can either flash the cwm zip file through your new custom recovery or use the .tar file and update it using odin.

And some things say to place the folder in the root... but not sure what standard software I can use to view the folders on the phone?
And is all flashing compatable with Odin? How does it know where to out these files?
And lastly, some prerequisites stat to factory wipe and clear before flashing.
Whe things are done like this, do I use titanium to reinnsta precious apps and contacts etc?

Don't remove them. Freeze with titanium backup. That way you can always defrost and use again if needed. Not like removing saves you space anyway.
There's a sticky in the themes and apps section about what is safe to "remove".

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 running Android 4.1.2. It is currently rooted using Chainfire method but no CWM installed.
I have questions about PIT file usage. I have searched the forum on the topic and have seen all the warnings that using PIT files can lead to bricking your phone and should not be done unless you know what you are doing. The only reason that I had been considering repartitioning was that I was running out of application space and wanted to increase the application partition from 2GB to 5GB.
I came across an article that had a link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538947) to various sizes PIT files for the Galaxy SII and a procedure on how to do the repartition. I have not tried this procedure since I spent considerable time researching any problems associated with doing a repartition. However, I still have not been able to find the answer to my questions, hence this post.
My questions are as follows:
(1) When doing a repartition using a PIT file, do you have to flash the rom (stock rom or custom) at the same time via odin? Or can you just
do a repartition, and factory reset? The procedure suggests flashing the rom, but I have seen posts that suggests that they just did the
repartition no ROM flash.
(2) After partitioning with the PIT file and decide to flash a custom rom at a later date, will I need to provide the same pit file at the time of
installing the new rom? I know some ROMs already have a PIT file included. The concern that I have is the new ROM may not find the
new repartition mount points – based on some posts that I have seen.
I have not made any decisions with regard to doing the repartition. After getting the answers to the above questions and any other insights that people care to provide, I will then decide on how to proceed.
Thanks.

I guess I should add some additional information, I have already removed unused apps, cleaned up apps/system cache, removed system logs, cleared cache via recovery, and cleared the davilik cache (system recovery and titanium backup). I am still on the borderline - I can barely update any of the installed apps as I am getting the insufficient space error.
I took a look for the korean's s2 thread but no luck - I used the search function and looked at all posts by korean* - I assumed that korean is the userid. Maybe I missed something, perhaps you can post the link or provide a bit more detail so I can find the thread.
Thanks,
By korean I meant the korean version of the SII.
We've got a couple of threads that solve the storage issue you're experiencing, "issue" rather.
Anyhow, check them out.
And believe me, you don't need to re partition your device (PIT)
BTW, are you having trouble with apps or you're just checking the "storage" toggle?
If so, don't worry about it.

Thanks gastonw, For clarification, my SII is the international version I9100 not the Korean version.
To answer your question, I am having trouble installing/updating apps. I am getting the error insufficient space available.
I get this error when updating apps and it has reached the point where even if I uninstall the app and try and install the same updated app I get insufficient space available.
I have searched for the Korean SII in the Q & A forum and from what I can gather, they are talking about turning the Korean version of the phone into the i9100 which does involve some repartition to the current i9100 PIT. Maybe I am looking at the wrong threads because I missed the reference to the storage problem.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reference to the romnuke script. Will definitely put that in the arsenal of tools when required. However, I haven't reached the stage of flashing another rom just as yet. I am currently on I9100 Samsung stock rom but rooted. Figured I would deal with the space problem first before moving onto flashing roms at a later date.
Try clearing out them log folders.See what is freed up.

Yes, I tried all of that before considering the PIT solution.
In any event, I think I have found the answer to my questions from drilling down all the way into the original thread that I found. The answers I believe are as follows:
(a) You do need to flash a stock/custom rom when doing flashing the PIT file
(b) Based on the fact that other people have flashed other custom ROMs after flashing the PIT file, I suspect there isnt any problem flashing any other roms with the new PIT structure.
Hi,
about a month ago I have hard bricked my SGH-I777 trying to transfer the second version of a modified PIT file edited by me using PitMagic to increase the data application partition. After a month, I finally got back my phone saved using a Riff Jtag. I have mounted the original SGH-I777_ATT_I777UCMD8_I777ATTMD8 released by AT&T, but I really need to increase the data application partition so I would try again and then install the SuperNexus 4.0 Rom. Anyone could give me a tested PIT file for my I777? I'm from Italy and find help for this model is really hard.
Thanks.
Considering that so many i777 users have gotten by succesfully using the stock partition setup, I'm very curious to know why you "really need to increase the data application partition". Are you really beyong 2gb worth of apk's? Is there some other reason?

No, I have got no other reason, considering that I don't use the phone to play with games or stuff like that but just for work. The problem is that although I'm not the kind of person that installs tons of useless apps, a few time ago my phone was unable to download any kind of update or minor app because there wasn't enough storage space available. I can't buy a new phone every month, I have got a 16gb S2 with an external 32gb sd card and i want to use it at the best, and don't be constraind to make a backup every month because Samsung had wrongly thought that 2gb would been sufficient. That's the first reason for wich professionists prefer to buy an I-phone, I prefer to correct a silly evaluation error. I hope you will agree with me and you could help me, I'm not a cheater, I have got only an american phone living in Italy so if I make a mistake I can't take the phone to the customer service. Thank you.

I've never seen any pit file for this phone other than the original UCKH7 pit file that is in the download repository. As far as I am aware, no one has ever needed to repartition the phone to install any firmware version.
I think that there is a misunderstanding. I need to do that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...es/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947 for my SGH-I777. Nothing more, nothing less, but I haven't found a tested version of the modified pit file for my phone, so about one month ago I have made one by myself, with 4-8Gb it worked, but when i tried with 6-6Gb the phone crashed and had an hard brick.
I've found a guy in Italy that have got a Jtag, and finally he gave me back the repaired phone. Now I'm asking if someone can help me to find a tested pit file for my SGH-I777 with 6-6Gb configuration.
Thanks again

Doesn't exist for this device, or if it does no one has shared it. My suggestion for you is to stick with the custom .pit you made and leave it be.
