[Q] The big question - Should I Check Re-Partition or not

Hi,
I'm probably gonna flash a new firmware on my Galaxy S for the first time via odin.
I've found many opinions regarding this, so I would be happy to hear your thoughts - Should Re-Partition be checked or not?
Also, what version of Odin and PIT file would you recommend?
The firmware version I'm about to flash is I9000JPJG8.
Thanks!

[Q] Pit files

What are pit files and why do I need them on some firmwares?
Older firmwares don't need them but the newer one's require them to be able to flash the firmware.
Also I have flashed JM2 with 512.pit.
Will I have problems when Samsung releases Froyo (Via Kies or over the air)?
Thanks

[Q] Which PIT do I use

Hey all,
Ive got a SGS from Optus in Australia but its unbranded. Currently I'm running JG4 rom.
I want to update to the JPO. Ive got the ROM. Ive got Odin and Ive got 3 pits.
Everything is fine, I just don't know which PIT to use. 512, 513 or 803. Could I just flash the rom over without a PIT? Should I repartition? This is the first time Ill be doing a flash.
Any help would be appreciated!

Advice from the experts
Hi,
The quickest and simplest is to go on the samfirmware.com site and register and log in. Everthing you'll need will be found there.

you will first want to flash with the 512 and repartition on.. i dont exactly remember which rom i think jm6 (samsfirmwares has the info on that)
and afterwards u flash the jpo with 813 pit and no repartition.
But yea just read the *info on the roms over there it explains the process.

Putting Pit file 813 without repartition checked is nonsense...
If this box unchecked, then ODIN will ignore Pit file.
At the end, I've never been able to flash whatever firmware with 813 pit file. All went very well with 512 one...

Just a quick question guys: what does re-partition really do and when should it be used ?

It make the partition in different size. But so far i only use pit 512 for all firmware.
It works best.
You should only use them when you want to wipe you phone clean and need to re-partition the phone.
And yes you must tick the re-partition box to make it work. Else it don't use the pit file.
So samfirmware show wrong.

Yeah the pit doesn't really matter, stick with 512.

How to flashed stock XXJVT with Odin?

Hi guys, just purchased a new SGS from the store, it is still on Froyo though, I wish to upgrade it to GB with Odin, and I've finished downloaded XXJVT firmware from
http://www.sammobile.com/showthread.php?t=17
after I extract them, I got these:
CODE_I9000XXJVT_CL617736_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000XXJVT_REV_00_CL1064602.tar.md5
GT-I9000-CSC-HOME-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5
s1_odin_20100512.pit
I know that PIT file is for PIT slot, user_low_ship is for PDA, Modem is for Phone slot, but as you can see there, there are 2 CSC files, CSC Multi and CSC Home-Multi, which one should I choose? and is there any extra steps before I flash them with Odin? any help is appreciated!

In upgrading firmware from Froyo to GB you need to upgrade bootloader as well. But before that, check whether your phone can enter "download mode" or not.
If can, then find gingerbread bootloader. You can search it here in XDA, or you can search [Ramad] stock ROM. He always provide the package that include bootloader. I'm not sure about the above firmware.

I read it somewhere that the bootloader is already included in GB, isnt it?
