Its basically the same concept of formatting a hard drive on your PC.
It wipes your phone's storage first before installing the new fw. Some just like gaving a "clean slate" before using a new rom...

Repartition is supposedly going to wipe all data on your phone, but it's also a death button that makes you ODIN freeze and making your phone not boot up

It repartitions your filesystem. Lets say you installed CM which uses ext4, then it will re-partition it back to RFS (stock default).
so when you using stock rom you haven't to select re partition but when using custom rom with different system layout and wanna go back to stock rom you should select re-partition

I'm on MIUI and I want to go back to JL2

Hi I'm on miui and I am looking for the safest way to go back to jl2.. just wondering if I can flash the firmware from samfirmware with no pit and no repartition with Odin. Thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
preferably you should be using a 3 file firmware with pit and re-partition if you want to go back to stock.
otherwise you may encounter some errors, due to system files / settings being kept on the phone from the MIUI ROM
Thanks... do u know where I can find a bell stock 3 file firmware?

Sorry, its been a while since i flashed stock
If u have four file then select them respectively tick repartition and start odin and u ll be on stock

Downgrade to GB

Hello, I've looked around to find this answer but couldn't find an exact match. I want to downgrade from rocketrom ics to stock GB 2.3.6 using odin, my current. Kernel is franco. My device is checked and known to have dangerous eMMC bug. Is it completely safe to flash stock gb from rocketrom?

Hi guys,
Im on Stock ICS XXLQ2 can i flash stock GB XXLC1 using Odin PC after that i can do Full Wipe/Factory reset etc..
Thanks
I got the idea i need to flash the Open europe version of stock GB via odin. But the one I found is Wipe version, will this trigger the eMMC bug? (my device is affected)

Afaik the full wipe part will be performed under the gb kernel as that is flashed before the from, so you'll be fine.

So, is it ok to flash any rom with safe kernel? For instance CM9 RC1? I'm on official ics 4.0.3 from samsung, and like most of the note users i have the f*ing bug

Cm kernels will not work with tw based roms, only with aokp/aosp, and vice versa. You'll have to read up on the kernel pages themselves on which rom types they support.
So flash to gb first, perform full wipe, root and install cwm, then you can install custom kernels and roms from there. Never install from ics kernel, only downgrade to gb to be safe.

Downgrading to gb means; directly flashing a gb rom right? Yes, i'm new to all this.

hi everybody
i am sorry for bothering you i just want to ask when using pc odin to downgrade from ics to gb stock rom is enough one pda file or i had to use the other phone and csc file with pit file and repartition, that is my first question.
the second one after flashing the stock gb can stay on stock kernel or it is unsafe.
thank you in advance

Most of the rom files split down into three files but If you place the original tar file into pda, odin sorts out the partitions correctly for you.
All stock gb kernels are safe from emmc superbrick bug, safe to perform wipes.

Reflash kernel

Hi there...
1st of all...thank for the existence of the most helping forum for android community. Thank you to all developers.
Last week I've flashed PhilZ kernel ver 2.5 for my GNote N7000 with PDA-DXLR5, I got rooted and it's works great!
For current PhilZ released the newer version which is 2.7. My question is, may I just flash the new kernel directly from ext. sdcard thru recovery mode? Without changing to stock kernel first. Thank you.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Yes, just flash, no need to return to stock.

Ok. If I want the phone back to factory setting I need to downgrade to GB flash using pc odin n do wipe. Then upgrade to ICS (either OTA or flash thru pc odin).
Otherwise, (2) I can flash stock ICS thru pc odin without downgrade to GB but I cant do wipe in ICS is it?
No (2) will maintain setting and it's contents?

1. If you are on a safe kernel, you can do wipe without going back to GB.
2. Never wipe on stock kernel, only on stock safe kernels like Philz.
3. If you do factory wipe, you lose everything. Apps need to be reinstalled. Your "contents" such as images, mp3 and such will remain until such time you format the USB storage.

Factory reset will not erase the internal SD card. u have to manually do it from mounts and storage or format it using PC
