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.

So, i have a huge problem. My tab's internal storage is being used by something unknown to me.
After looking around on the forums and the allmighty internet, I found the app called "DiskUsage" to help me narrow down the search for the mystical black hole in my storage.
What i find is nearly 15gb of space being eaten by "System Data". I attempted to look for files that could be using the space but failed to do so.
I then went on to format the entire tablet in CWM (system/sd-card etc) and again opened the DiskUsage app to see if anything changed. Links to the pictures are in the attatchment.
Does anyone have any idea on how I find and get rid of whats clugging my system?
Thanks in advance,
- Nicklas
I'm sorry for this shameless bump. But anyone have a single clue on how I can fix this?
And here's another one. I really can't find the answer anywhere. Anyone have a single clue?
Flash a stock rom with odin and perform a wipe from the stock recovery. You may have to use a pit file also.

I have eaten space too like you, i looked that when i installed CM 10 unofficial version it seems that doesnt erase at all when i did a wipe factory reset probablly you have the apps that you had In the last room, i dont know how to fix it..

Going to attempt this and see what happens. Hopefully it works out!
That did the trick! Thanks alot!!
In the future, check if you have a folder on sdcard labeled: LOST.DIR. I am not sure exactly what it is for, but I had one taking up almost 6gb on my phone a few months back, and after doing some research discovered that it basically contains "lost" files and is completely safe to delete. I backed it up to my computer just in case. On my Tab, I have the same folder, but it was only a few kb in size, so I haven't messed with it.
Hi, I've got a problem with my Galaxy S2, I installed a 4.0.4 ROM and when I flashed another ROM it wasn't the same anymore. It bricked part of my internal memory.
According to this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886) I installed the ressurection pit and the smartphone get back to life, but it crashes everytime that I try to install a new app at Play Store or when I try to transfer files from computer.
I really need some help here. I used the emmc partition scanner and it showed me that between the 1073 and 2148 block are unusable.
Is it possible to create some pit file that isolates the first 3GB of the internal memory? I think that way I'll resolve all my problems. I'm desperate!!!
P.S.: Sorry about my mistakes, my english is bad
After flashing modified .pit you must manually format system, cache, data and internal sdcard from recovery and flash (still in cwm) firmware you like. But it should be custom or at least modified stock with custom kernel.
If this will not help than use another modified pit file with correct (your emmc fault depending) partition shift.
It is generally method for models with 16GB not 32.

I did everything that you said, but it still crashes. I read the txt files that came with the PITs and no one let unused the exactly bricked area of my internal memory, I think I need a PIT file made exclusively for my phone. Am I right?
Yes, you are right. Ask author of those pits, maybe he will prepare needed one for you.

I did it too, I tried to install the 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6 and 4.0.3 ROMs, stock and custom, with the original and patched pit, nothing works.
I think I need to isolate the bad block and it will get back to life.
I am a noob and I am not a developer or even really great at programming or PC's in general.
I've managed to mess up my phone and have been looking all over the web for how to fix it and I am at a loss.
I decided to register and ask for help. Please be patient and understanding if I ask a lot of questions or don't understand things you accept as basic, understood or common. I looked through existing threads for help and couldn't find the answer I needed. Many thanks in advance for the help. Readers digest of the issue below.
Samsung Galaxy S 4G. T-Mobile. T959V5B5-Custom.
I tried the non-mandatory firmware update from T-mobile and it wrecked the functionality of my phone. I tried to go back with a couple new Rom versions and think I more or less ended up with three roms installed on my internal storage which has given me basically no space which was never an issue for me before. I have used a disk viewer to verify there is unmounted data that is taking up space but I can't figure out how to get to it through the phone or my pc to delete it. I assume if I do this that the empty space will be absorbed and fix the internal storage issue.
Again, thank you for taking the time to read and respond. I love my phone and just want it working right again.

The course of action I would recommend at this point is using a tool called Odin to re-flash the stock ROM to your phone. I would recommend taking a look at this guide for the step-by-step procedure on how to do this. Let me know if you still have questions .

Hey! Big thanks for the reply. Here come the questions...
I used Odin to put the other OS versions on the phone so I am familiar with the software though its been several months. I also still have the ROM that I flashed to phone. I am curious though that if it didn't wipe the previous partitions last time, what would keep it from doing the same thing this time and really messing me up? Or did I click or not click something in Odin or use the wrong option and doing it differently this time would fix the problem?
I located the files on the phone and have verified they are not mounted and looked at their size using DiskInfo. They are located at "/dev/block". Do you know what this is or why they are there? I can delete them using ES File Explorer with SuperUser. Is it ok to delete these and would I get the benefit of increased storage by doing so? I played around with moving them to the SD card and didn't see an increase in my internal storage but was afraid that a reboot after doing to might be bad.
Can you tell I am a little gun shy?
Here are the names of the files, the set starting with t starts at 0 and goes to 12 and the other 1 to 12.

Using Odin to re-flash the stock ROM will automatically setup the right configuration for. Do Not delete the files in /dev/block these are critical to the phones operation and part of the phones normal partitioning and operation as previously stated deleting these will cause a lot of problems if you delete them. If you really want to free up some internal storage space I would recommend deleting the carrier pre-installed bloatware, before you delete any bloatware makesure to backup the apps you deleted with Titanium Backup or a similar backup or flash Clockworkmod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project and make a Nandroid Backup which is a complete backup of your phone. And don't worry about being gun shy we are all beginners at some point the only real way to become an expert if practice, practice, practice .
So I am working on the Heimdall One-Click.
Handshaking with loke, got no response. FML.
Help.
Edited: Apparently a low battery is not your friend...
after a little reading around on the net I tried a different one and BAM.
Back to stock. We'll see how this goes.
Being rooted with superuser had me spoiled...so much bloatware.
Thanks Mr Cook for the Hard work in making the ROM that fixed my problem, for restoring the baseband, The rom works great, but my new problem is no internal memory, witch I think is do to flashing the wrong .PIT file, witch is in my original post, is there any way to get the proper .PIT file for this phone, Its previous contents were,16gigs,of memory,4 witch were dedicated to system, and 1gig,to running memory......I am beyond grateful that your rom brought my phone back to life, but I still have these issues witch stop me from being able to do anything, i cannot receive text messages, nor anything from Google play because, no internal memory......again thank you for your help.......

I am looking for a SGH-S959G Pit file if anyone has one can you please sent it to me or post me a link so I can go get it..
You need to check/ask in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982571
Which is conveniently located beneath this one!
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.
So you want to expand the space destined to the SO.
You don't need to do that.

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.
