[Q] Which pit file (stupid question) - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

Whats with the "special" instructions on flashing JP6/JPM on samfirmware?

$ 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.

[Q] BlackScreen *WITH* DOWNLOAD mode working

Hi guys i searched for other threds before making this one but none of them had download mode working
i tried flashing jpy and jpx with odin using the 512 and the 813 pit files, my problem is that after showing the sgs screen(really effing loud) the screen goes dark and vibrates in a pattern that goes like ........1....2................1...2...........1............2 and repeats, i can accces both the download and recovery modes
Extra maybe important info:
came eclair jm4 flashed with kies then from jm7 i think with the bujp5 modem(the vodafone one) tried to flash jpy & jpx still stuck on darkscreen
in odin i only had the pit+pda checked with repartition, autoreboot and f.reset time ticked. Did i miss something?
I also tried to flash jpo, no dice.
Try to flash an other firmware (2.1)
Take it from samfirmware
They supply 3in1 packages that need to be put in only pda
Use pit 512
Repartition
If that worked, then try a 2.2(.1)

Where did you get jpy from? I got mine from samfirmware and had no dramas. Went from jm8 to jpy you could always flash a 2e recovery kernel cf root for example then install cwm so you can install custom jpy roms..i use darkys and love it
Got it working : D For any future reference flash jm8 with repartition on then jpy with repartition off...
on another note what do I do when I already have jpy working and want a clean instal of it plus different modem and kernel? (repartition on/off, do I use any pit files ?
Happy new year
can someone please tell me where to get these files from?
i've searched but keep getting the wrong pit or stock firmware..
i'm a noob and i'm confused, excuse me of my ignorance but i've tried sooo much lol
btw i have a bell I9000M which i think is my problem.. help

can i flash 2.1 after 2.2.1?

Hi, i had one piece i9000 and flashed it with 2.1 version I9000JPJG. After this i got blue circle and no network. So, i fullflashed it with 2.2.1 I9000XXJPU and i got my network back. Just wondering after this can i flash 2.2 I9000JPJPG on this phone to get arabic language? Thanks.
Yes You Can
Odin. Repartition your phone with the pit compatible with 2.1 ROM,, and then update from there. Did the same yesterday myself. It's a bit tricky. So make sure your 3 Button Recovery is working.

Sorry i dont understand...should i first just flash my phone with 512 pit and repartition ticked, then flash I9000JPJPG as pda since it is just one file and not tick repartition?
I want to downgrade from 2.2.1 I9000XXJPU stock firmware to 2.1 I9000JPJG8 stock firmware. Can someone please explain how to do that?
Well i flashed the phone with I9000JPJPG and everything ok

[q] help! Sgs bricked?

hey guys need ur help ^^
think my sgs is bricked tried to flash several stock roms but every time it freeze at dbdata.rfs
dunno what to do .. :S
Can you give some more info please. What ROMs and PIT? And does the phone boot at all?
personally i'd try darkyys ressurection rom with the pit that comes with it and repartition checked.
not had a hole yet that it hasnt gotten me out of.
It's not bricked, i've using a "update" ROM (most of ROM dumped from Kies spoofing) with re-partition under Odin => It's doesn't work because these update ROM doesn't in 99% of time the dbdata.rfs which is need for repartition.
If you want to use pit file and repartition, you must use a "Full" ROM like JPU ou XEN JS5 available on SamFirmware.
