Whats with the "special" instructions on flashing JP6/JPM on samfirmware? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

$ I9000XWJP6
Flashing way I9000XWJP6: First I9000XWJM8 with RE-Partition and 512.pit. Than I9000XWJP6 without RE-Partion use 803.pit.
$ I9000XXJPM
Flashing way I9000XXJPM: First I9000XWJM8 with RE-Partition and 512.pit. Than I9000XXJPM without RE-Partion use 803.pit.
Whats the reason behind this as I see that flashing straight to JPM even with 512PIT works w/o issues.. I must totally curious about it!

I'm curious as well but did it and it works just fine.
Running JP6 at the moment.

They have gone nuts.
You don't need pit fil.
Only if you re-partition you need that.
If you are on jm* firmware you can flash jpm/jp6 over it.
But my advice is to flash jpk with re-partition and pit 512.
Then format the internal sdcard.
Wipe the catch. And do a factory reset.
Then you have a clean system that's froyo and you can flash jpm over it.
Advantage of this is that you don't have old setting that can comprised the stability of sgs.
It more work, but you will get a better phone in the long run.
But first DO a backup.

You guys are god! thx!
what is the diffrence between 512 anf 513 pit files.. I flashed JP3 with 512 was I correct or should I have used 513
if its working then dont worry m8
if you use the same pit file all the time you dont hav to repartition when you change pit file you repartition
regards
Just use 512 for everything.. 513 doesn't seem to work for late builds
513 doesn't work, but it's still good to have around.
I wanted to flash JM1 and, for some reason, odin wasn't flashing it, no matter what. I tried ticking the "re-partition" option (with 512.pit) and odin was just waiting there, never actually re-partitioning the phone.
So I flashed the firmware with 513.pit (which obviously didn't work, but odin re-partitioned). Then, I re-flashed with 512.pit this time and odin re-partitioned it properly.
Always good to have alternatives laying around.

[Q] Froyo Full JP6 / JPM Stock for odin?

Is anyone else sick of having to flash some eclair ROM then flash JP6/JPM over the top???
Why hasnt samfirmware uploaded a full ROM rather than sending us through some convoluted upgrade from an old one?
I would like to put together a full ROM package to flash from odin
* Complete JP6 / JPM ROM
* That does not require flashing any other ROM first
* If possible and/or additionally a z4moded kernel FULL release
So anyone can download and do a proper Odin flash with repartition and jump straight into running a script to convert to ext2/3/4.
After playing with some of these patched kernels and having the occasional complete reflash to do its very annoying that samfirmware doesnt have a full package for JP6 STILL.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some reading material so I can work out how?
Perhaps then we could have a link for a full release JP6 / JPM with / without z4mod built in on the front page...

Works without flashing another firmware before. Flash using these options:

PDA: I9000XWJP6-REV03-ALL-low-CL618121.tar
Odin 1.0, re-partition off, auto reboot on, reset time on.

Thanks for that. Just going to download and test it
Any word on a full release of JPM / JPA?
Would much appreciate someones advice on how to swap the kernel in the PDA file for a z4moded one. Would make it nice and easy for anyone to download a full ROM ready to just kick the RFS nonsense out!

Those roms are already out here..
You know if I can just swap the zImage in the PDA tarball and it should all be fine or are there some signatures or something that I will kill?
Swapping the zImage with 7zip causes the flash to fail at kernel - surprisingly enough.
What am I doing wrong?

After reading the thread on PIT files it seems if you arent ticking the repartition box theres no point using one at all. I flashed without and made no difference. Theres a backup of the existing PIT on the phone and odin dumps that to work out where to put everything.
Has someone testes that does this root forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 work on this firmware.

[Q] Please help me update my SGS from JP2 to JP6

Hi I updated my SGS from Eclair to what I thought was the latest Froyo firmware. It turned that I had updated it to JP2. Now really nothing works anymore. Not even 3G.
My phone is not branded it any way but since Samsung turned off the update to JP6 I can't update using Kies. So I need to make the update using Odin or being able to get it to accept 2e files so I can install Clockwork Mod. Thing is I have no clue how to make it run 2e files. I did root it but that didn't work so obvious there is something else I need to do.
I guess my JP2 version is the stock JP2, and I would like to update it to stock JP6 or Tayutama's custom mod.
Is there something I need to do before I try updating my phone to JP6, or would it work to simply load the .tar file in Odin using the 803.pit file and re-partion and click "Start"?
PDA: I90000XXJP2
PHONE: I90000XXJP2
CSC: I90000XXJP2
Build Info: 2010.07
TIA

Eh. Best way is downgrade to jm8 using the 512 pit file and set it to re partition. Once that's done install jp6 with 803 pit but do not use re partition. It will take too long to explain why you need to downgrade. But if you want to save time then try this method. Install jp6 as normal with 803 pit and don't re partition but this method isn't safe

I hope you made a backup first.
The way i do flash jpm or jp6 is safe and simple.
First you need a clean system.
I do this with jpk. Using pit 512 and with re-partition.
Then flash with odin.
Then i let the phone boot up.
I then format the internal sdcard.
Then i reboot in recovery mood.
There do i wipe the catch and do a factory reset.
Now is the phone almost clean.
Next i flash jpm or jp6. Use no pit file and do NOT re-partition.
People that tell you to use pit file here don't know what they are talking about.
Flash now with odin.
Start the phone and let it boot up.
Format the internal sdcard again and restart the phone in recovery again. Wipe the catch and do a factory reset. Restart the phone.
Now you got a working phone with latest froyo.

OK and by backup you mean backup of contacts, photos, sms's and so on? And a clean system is a system that has just been factory resetted, right?

No. I mean a real backup. The efs folder is very important. There you have you personal code for the phone.
The rest of the backup is just good to have.
A clean system need more than a factory reset. If you do the steep i wrote it will be clean.

I didn't do a real backup before I used Odin to update to JP2. By doing so have I now lost something I can't retreive?
How do you do a real backup? Is that done in Odin too?
I am not sure if posting external links are allowed. My apologies if not allowed.

Cheers mate, I'll go ahead and make a complete backup using the tutorial above once I'm back from work.
No worries man as long as it helps

Hmmm it didn't work as my phone is 3e and doesn't run update.zip. I know you have to reflash your Kernel to make it support update.zip files I just don't know how to do it. Man I'm rubbish when it comes to Android phones! haha
Hmmm you don't need to patch any kernel man.. Hope your phone is rooted the backup thing works with most of my friends' phones.. What is a 3e..? Just curious .
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
No I can't run update.zip as my phone doesn't support unsigned files in recovery mode. In recovery mode it says 3e at the post instead of 2e as it said when there was Eclair 2.1 on it.
My phone is rooted but even so I can't get it to actually create the backup. All things before that went smooth though. Superuser gave Nandroid root access and everything.
Go to the z4mod tread and download jp6 kernel and flash it with odin.
Then you got a recovery that works with update script.

Is it this kernel, by RyanZA, I should flash onto my SGS? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8645069&postcount=162
If so should I simply apply this in Odin as PDA leaving everything else as default, put my phone in download mode and press start even though I don't run JP6 but JP2?
And after the update is done, then flash PHONE and CSC from JP6 using 803.pit leaving Re-Partion unchecked and click start?
Or should I apply the z4mod.ext2.update.zip from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797672 - first in recovery mode and then flash PHONE and CSC?
Or should I actually flash ALL three files, PDA, PHONE and CSC?
I must say I really appreciate all the help guys and I'm sorry if I'm abit slow, but smartphones are really a new area for me and I know nothing about Linux for that matter.

I bump this thread to get an answers to my "hopefully" final questions.
You should update the phone to the latest froyo. Don't se any reasons not to.
Then flash a kernel. After that use a filesystem, lagfix you want.

So I should just flash the PHONE and CSC before I flash the kernel (PDA) you say?
And are those files I posted in a few posts above the correct ones?
No.
You should use kies to upgrade if you can. ;-)
Then you can do other stuff.

I tried Kies yesterday. Sadly after putting in JP2 that ruined Kies, It says, this device can't be updated. I even tried to fool Kies by registry hack, but Samsung has obviously done something to provoke that as it didn't work.

[Q] Which pit file (stupid question)

Hi guys, im flashing on my phone XWJS5 firmware and i want know if i'ts better to use 803.pit o 512.pit? I'm on JPY with lag on darky's rom 9.0.2 and i wanna do a clean flash.
samfirmwares says to use 803.pit. However, I've seen many people saying that you should use 512.pit. Also, I've read that using 803 on a ROM that has bootloader is risky.
Well, I took the risk and flashed JS5 with 803 and phone is running superb.
It entered recovery right after though, saying that /data was missing but a factory reset and wipe data/cache has fixed it.
Have a backup of everything before flashing any new ROM. Better safe than sorry

You get less problem with pit 512 or 513.
I'm using pit 513 now, but I use pit 512 almost all the time.

[Q] Can i Combine '(FROYO)' with a '(Gingerbread)' ? (Xchange PDA)

I have a rom that is just 1 file:
FROYO:
NEE.tar (PDA)
and another rom is 4 files:
Gingerbread:
CSC-XXJV1.tar
PDA-XWJVB.tar
PHONE-XXJVK.tar
pit512.pit
I want to mix this 2 ROM and the result is something like this:
CSC-XXJV1.tar
NEE.tar <-- It's from FROYO
PHONE-XXJVK.tar
pit512.pit
IS THAT WORK ?!
I risked and try that.
result => It's worked HoHaa

It worked because CSC files, Modems (Phone) and .pit settings are totally firmware agnostic. All three work with both Froyo and Gingerbread interchangeably.
The pit file simply tells Odin how to set up the partitions. The CSC is the localization info and the Modem is the radio. Both the CSC and the Modem can be flashed via Recovery after install, so there was no real need to flash them at the same time, but it didn't appear to hurt. Likely what happened is they just flashed over the modem and CSC installed by the PDA file.
However, you may want to check in About to confirm the JVK modem is what you ended up with.
Thanks for info @rschenck
I went to downgrade boot loader to FroYo (from Gingerbread). and after that I understood that boot.bin and slb.bin is in PDA file.
I have this files:
boot.bin, slb.bin from JPU ROM
PDA_XWJS8_NEE
CSC_EZbase-XXJV1
PHONE_EZbase-XXJVK
I flashed by ODIN 1.7 and heimdall but it's failed (softbreak)
after that i backed to XWJS8 and i couldn't downgrade boot loader
What's wrong here ?! Do boot.bin and sld.bin is different in different ROMS ? what i need to repartition?
I'm confused sorry

You are over complicating your life to an amazing degree...if all you need are the froyo bootloaders there are much easier ways.
Just search in Google for ezbase and android soul...on that website are excellent instructions for flashing ezbase via odin. From there you can flash anything you want.
Don't try to invent the wheel messing with bin files.

There is a lot of FROYO ROMs and I know that! but I want to try everythings!
and if you not in mood to help, please Don't disapointed me :\
1. anyway, I just want to know is different between boot.bin and slb.bin in all FroYo ROMs?
2.for repartition What's need in put in ODIN ? (just pda, or pda,csc,phone) ?
3.is boot.bin and sld.bin dangerous ?
Thanks again for respond.
