[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
As you've already been advised, don't (there are far safer ways to achieve what you've posted about). Only flash a PIT if/when you have specific reason for doing it (wiping a phone isn't one of those reasons).

Flashing a PIT purely to scratch a 'tinkering itch' isn't particularly wise unless your aim is to break the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eyeball97:
Actually it's not just a 'tinkering itch', it's more professional curiosity. I've been in the ICT business for almost 35 years so I'm quite familiar with experimenting with stuff.

Granted, it would be unwise to deliberately break the thing but the aim would be quite the opposite - to separate the facts from the fud and prove it doesn't break the thing. The vast majority of the "PIT/Repartition" disaster stories we read are from people who flashed the wrong PIT - with (imho) very predictable results.

I'll add, that I'm almost sure I actually did flash once with a PIT and repartition - iirc it was the very first time I flashed the phone. Got fed up waiting for a KIES update and nabbed ICS off (I think) Sam Firmware. Anyway it was a "3 files" version and the first time I'd ever seen Odin, so naturally I was curious about the 'missing' files (PIT & Bootloader) for which there were options in Odin. I figured I didn't need either (especially the bootloader) but a little digging around found the right PIT file so I flashed that as well. Nothing untoward happened and in the subsequent months I played with many different ROMS (although never bothered with PIT again).

So, that's the part I don't remember - whether I flashed the PIT first with repatition checked, or whether I flashed all 4 files at once with repartition checked.

I figure that if I flash just the PIT first, all that's going to happen is an unuseable 'soft brick' (on account of, no OS) but that I would be able to boot into download and flash the remaining 3 files. OR, that I flash all 4 files at the same time, eliminating the reboot inbetween. Pretty much six of one, half dozen of the other it would seem.

With thanks and all due respect to the replies so far, nobody's yet answered the question of whether I'm right in saying the above is what's supposed to happen - whether or not it does happen in reality, is a subject for another discussion (and/or a humble acknowledgement that it went fubar).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Ahhhh...Ok. I hear you re: 'professional curiosity' ;)

You're absolutely right re: bozos doing stupid stuff (like flashing the wrong PIT, pulling the cable because they're impatient, etc) causing 99% of the borked phones that happen when a PIT flash goes wrong.

And you're also right about if you 'do your homework' (have a good handle on the process), it should go smoothly.

I guess if you're going to flash something anyway (a clean install of stock), then if you know what you're doing, flashing a PIT with everything else carries the same risk as flashing a rom/whatever (a very small risk with any given flash of the phone ending up borked).

Having said that, given I can do a couple of formats without the risk of flashing anything (particularly if the phone is already stock) at all, that's what I'd be doing (and despite the fact I've done dozens & dozens of flashes & only had one go wrong immediately after I got my phone initially through carelessness). I'm curious by nature, but not that curious :)

I doubt you're going to get an answer around whether flashing a PIT & nothing else simply leaves you with a phone that's able to be booted into download mode which is able to have a rom flashed/etc because I've never seen anyone on here who's tried same simply for the sake of it. I'd say you're going to be one of the few if you do try it ;) However, this thread tends to suggest (my assumption) that recovery/download modes are 'contained' in that hidden partition. The question then becomes, if you flash a PIT without flashing a rom (OS) & then 'boot' the phone, are you able to boot into download/recovery mode because the PIT doesn't overwrite the partition they're housed in (assuming they are indeed housed in said partition).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
hmmmmm.....try beloved basic flash, your wife won't know the difference.

If something is off while she's using it....just use your expertise and thell her that "samsung sometimes releases android's updates overlooking hardware performance on their devices, therefore great user communities apply feedback so they can patch it in furure update, but you can also patch it right away because you are a member of an awesome community that cares for these kind of devices and it's users".

that's what we all do when we kinda mess with another person's phone :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eyeball97:
Just a quick follow-up (no, I haven't messed with the phone yet)

What started this thread was my curiosity which was sparked when I found there was a PIT file in the leaked "official" 4.1.2. Yesterday I saw Samsung Korea have now officially released 4.1.2 (in Korea only, so far, for the S250 or whatever they call the i9100 there) and that they've swiped 1GB from the system partition (was 12GB, now 11GB) - so it looks like finding out about repartitioning and flashing new PIT info is going to be useful sooner rather than later...

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyr2k6:
It seems that I am not really finding any answers to my questions, so hopefully I will try again now that I have at least pulled off a successful NVFLASH.

Ok, kids, so here we go... As it stands, my TF300t is unlocked, NVFlashed, and sitting on the old ICS bootloader (never OTA'd to JB) with a october release of CM 10 nightly.

What I want to do, is to update my bootloader (I assume that I have to do this) to the jellybean bootloader so that I can either install CM 10.1 or any other JB roms that require the JB bootloader...

I have torn up these forums looking for the point where we transitioned from ICS to JB, and have been left without answers as to how one should properly do this. If it's a simple "just flash TWRP for JB" or "just flash CWM for JB" that is awesome, because I know how to do that. But no one seems to have made it THAT black and white.

My tab was bought back in june and it only had the 4.0.3 OS on board, and I never OTA'd past it. I lost my original rom backup (rather, I have it but it's useless for some reason... won't restore from CWM).

Can someone please help?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikaole:
just fastboot TWRP for ICS and then flash the 1st JB StockRom(dl from Asus and unzip once) in TWRP.

Then fastboot TWRP for JB, then flash the latest JB StockRom(dl from Asus and unzip once) .

Then fastboot TWRP for JB and then the Rom you like :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TBayTom:
If you are talking about installing pirated apps and bootleg app stores, XDA doesn't support any talk about them. Yes, they are even easier to get on android devices, but you will have to google search elsewhere to find them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Woody:
^^^ This ^^^

XDA does not promote piracy or cracked apps. Sure they are out there, but they are not in here.

So you registered yesterday and your very first post is about breaking one of the "cardinal" rules of XDA about Warez. I know for a fact that when you register, you have to review The Rules before the registration is complete. If this is how it is going to be, then your time here will be short lived. No Warez!!!

Hi everyone,

I have a P6810 and tried JB a while ago to see how it worked (cant remember the exact ROM) and I remember there was a problem with all JB ROMs back then where the screen would automatically wake in landscape mode rather than portrait - as I often use the device in portrait I resorted to going back to stock ROMs. I wanted to try the new CM10.1 ROMs on the P6810 and was wondering if the issue still exists?

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] raymuy:
Hi guys

recently i bought new battery because my old one used to jump

from 70% to 100% and had really bad battery life.

i replaced the battery and calibrated it and i noticed that the 20% from 100% to 80% goes down realy fast

should i recaibrate the battery?

what should i do? thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MH-Droid:
It depends on the rom u r using.

All roms except stock based roms have this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] raymuy:
Im using aosp by maclaw studios

the weird thing is that the 70% acts like it 100% and im having really good battery life

from 70%
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MH-Droid:
Its a problem in sumsung charge system.

In custom roms when u full charge battery it is about 80 % charged.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] usedusername:
I think you should charge it when the phone is turned off. I noticed that my phone tells me it is "Charged" when it is turned on. However the actual percentage in Go Power Master is 80%.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] raymuy:
so it has nothing to do with the battery quality and the battery calibration?

the problem will not appear in the stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] usedusername:
Thats if needed. To check if the battery is fully charged, try these step.

1. Charge the when it is running until it says "Charged".

2. Turn off the phone and keep the charger plugged in.

3. The battery image will appear. If it is not full, wait till it full. When it shows 100% then it is fully charged.

Note that powering up the phone takes some significant amount of battery. If the battery is still draining fast. Calibrate may be needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AvrX:
enchanced rom shows 100 percent but still shows charging. So I guess it fully charges
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bogdanwp:
Well the battery level seems to be jumping unusually from time to time . What i do is i wipe the battery stats from cwm , i leave it over night to fully charge without doing anything to it , calibrate the battery with `battery calibration` from playstore , full discharge and full charge again . I do this after each rom that i flash and it seems to do good and seems to point the right amount. Anyway the charge lasts as i hope it lasts , from 1 day if i do stuff with it like some wifi , some messaging , many minutes of calls .... to about 3 days if i do only calls. Cheers

So I was trying to unroot my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 and through my stupidity I have bricked it. I assume I forgot to wipe those all important caches.

Right now It hangs on the Samsung Logo, I can't get into recovery, but I can get into download mode.

I have been searching for a fix for the past couple of hours and all the recovery fixes require the phone to be able to boot which I can't do. I have tried to flash the Stock Rom a couple times and haven't been getting anywhere.

I am going to try what is suggested in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1954245&page=3
