Hi,
I have been flashing new firmwares quite a few times, using both Odin and CWM. I have a few questions regarding what actually happened to the filesystem when we flash the rom. Maybe some knowledgeable people here can help answer these:
1) When using Odin to flash the rom, I assume that when using .pit, the filesystem will be reformatted, especially if the partition size got changed, am I correct?
2) what about when we flash the rom using Odin without using .pit. Is the filesystem wiped clean first (or formatted), then new files added? or some old files will be left lingering?
3) what about using CWM, flashing ROM that has "NoWipe"? This I assume, as it was called, no wipe happens, just files being replaced and added, and old files may get left behind
4) what about using CWM, flashing ROM that is "Wipe"? This formats the filesystem, then add new files into it, so no lingering old files?
5) can overcome GB-Stock-Safe-V5 be flashed from CWM, say over overcome 4.1 rom that already have the same .pit. Will it revert the filesystem to rfs? I know I will lose CWM if this can be done.
6) if CWM can't do it, do you think Mobile Odin likely can do it?
Bump..

The questions is for knowing more about what going on in every task that we do to our device..so that we know the stuff..so we can understand our device better..

As you see, no one answered before.
About why I am asking, well I am thirsty for knowledge.

Yeah, knowledge is good so far, to have it is helpful. Some Wiki study might help :thumbup:
I'm happy to have HumberOS running extra-fine with alroger's kernel from early May, 2nd. :thumbup::thumbup:

sorry and i know that there are many topic related about this but im just a noob on android flashing.
my phone is:
Samsung Galaxy S [I think its international]
No update through WIFI
GT-I9000
Eclair 2.1
Baseband:I9000XXJM1
KERNEL:2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build:ECLAIR.XFJM1
NOT ROOTED
is it possible to flash by phone recovery mode with the firmware/data in the SD card?
if not are there other ways to flash by phone and not by ODIN or KIES
KIES = my phone does not show up in kies (endless connecting status) when i try to connect it via kies.but its ok on the other settings.
please direct me to possible update ways and instruction or files that i need..
i prefer the stock version than moded ones..
thank you.
use heimdall to do phone there's a detailed guide on how to on the galaxy s development section. but if you can't find it here is the link below

Fyi, I guess an easy reinstall of the usb driver is good enough.

Hi guys,
I did some research on Galaxy Mini forum looking for some guaranteed instructions to flash CWM into a Galaxy Mini device, but didn't find any guide of how to do it.
I did only find some websites on the internet offering some odn files to flash, but I wanted some secure source to download and flash this kind of file to avoid brick the phone.
Did I miss any guide available on the forum that you could provide me the link to it?
Or if you could point out a safe odn file to flash, it would be great!
Thanks in advance for the help guys!
odin is safe if u do it correctly.

Thanks guys for referring me to EdenDroid! Her tutorial is indeed awesome!
The only thing I didn't understand quite well is why no one talks about that OPS file?
Is that the same as an IMG file?
My fear is to flash with an incompatible OPN into my mobile and mess up everything.
The curious thing is that even for starter guides, no one mentions if the OPS file is safe or not...
Doing some research then, I found out that the OPS file is only like a "Script" that ODIN should follow to flash the device correctly.
Usually OPS files are less than 1 kb with the following content inside it:
Code:
0,mibib
1,qcsbl
2,oemsbl
3,amss
4,arm11boot
5,boot
6,recovery
7,system
8,data
9,csc
10,
So, as long your OPS file is like that, you should be ok.
I was afraid of this, because I have a Motorola Atrix device as Well. And we have a similar process when we want to flash something on a locked device the first time. It is a tool called RSD Lite. But this tool is very powerful and dangerous as it flashes SBF files, which are compressed files with IMG, Firmware, Baseband and etc.... and once you flash an incorrect SBF, you could hardbrick your Moto and kiss it goodbye.
Samsung Devices have some bit differences here... like an unlocked bootloader, which prevents those hardbricks for happen so easily, so I should not worry about that OPS file.
Hope it was worth the teaching about OPS files, guys! And tanks for your help!
sgm has tass.ops file bro

You can find many step by step tutorials at my blog @ http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com
There I've also got procedure of installing CWM recovery which should be safe if you follow the steps correctly. Search there...
Good luck and happy flashing...
Thousand's have flashed ROM's with ops. And devs may had 100 times so why u are afraid of.

A friend tried messin around with his tab when he doesnt even know how to jailbreak an iphone 3g... The tab wouldnt even boot past the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, but it was able to get to download mode... I used a guide to update it to gingerbread using odin, and everything went well! I opened odin, selected PIT and chose the P1_add_hidden.pit file, then i selected PDA and chose the P1000NVFJP6_P1000NUBJP3_P1000NUUBJPB_HOME.tar.md5 file, and i made sure i checked Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time, Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update.. everything went well, but on recovery it was unable to update the systemfile.. but everything else on recovery updated and installed fine! as it reboots, it gets stuck in the bootanimation in the part it says Samsung glowing.. did i do something wrong? how can i fix this? I am still able to get to recovery and download mode fine..
Use overcome method like described here

Btw, you should not have checked Clear Efs.
The replace bootloader too.
And best to use Odin 1.7 included in the gb stock safe in that link I give you.

thanks! will check this out now!
Why do some people think its rational to use absolutely ridiculous titles like "hlp plz" etc etc??
Please use common sense and use descriptive titles, ie a short title that describes your topic for people browsing the forum. "help plz" does not describe your topic in absolutely any way other then somebody using a completely generic title.

You a describing your friend to be a noob. Why are you yourself a developer? And do you even know the hard work required to develop a jailbreak for the first time? So don't talk about others' ignorance.
