so uncle benny should i flash the pit file also ?, coz the samfirmware.com attach the file so i assume that i hv to flash the file. right now i alrdy flash the firmware without the pit file.

I am , I think even older than you-lah. Age is never a barrier to learn new stuffs.
There is nothing complicate/messy with rooting, flashing etc. As long as one can read English , knows how to follow instructions ( even without understanding why one need to do it ) - it is not difficult. You don't need a degree to do such stuffs. Of course if one understand the steps, troubleshooting is easier than just shooting in the dark

There is nothing wrong with the Samsung Rom , many users still uses the phone without root at all. Many users don't even know there is alternative roms or there are ways to mod the phone. Why than do users mod/flash their phones with alternative roms ?

Roms supplied as OEM by manufacturer is what I'd say a " safe" rom. It is cater for the masses who just want a phone that they can use out of the box. However the phone has built in potential to make it a better and more efficient performer. Rom cooks tinker with the system files - removing bloatware, changing preset values, changing the kernel . It is analogous to a guy buying a RM 50000 Proton and modify/convert it to outrun a higher specs , more expensive car.

In fact if you do not wish to flash a rom, you can always replace some of the supplied/built in apps with better 3rd party alternatives - there are free and paid apps available. One common complain is the User Interface Touch Wiz which is now ver4. Though it has improved over previous versions, many users are still unhappy as they feel is not so fast/slick/smooth as HTC Sense or Apple iOS. This UI alternatives , you now have close to 10 types of alternatives launcher and a few of it is indeed very good. I never like TouchWiz and I replace it with other launcher - this type of change do not require you to change rom to do it
Another good example is the default browser - I never use it too as I find alternative FREE ones can even do a much better job and with more features - eg Dolphin HD, XScope, Miren, Opera. Default E Mail - I replace it with another free app K9-Mail which I'd say is hundred X better than the supplied email
So we need not flash cook roms to improve the phone

u preorder or just walk in?

congrates V8... welcoming myself to v8 by SS




p/s= eiraku what is the status of otg cable...


enjoy..away....

MIUI???

I was waiting for the user to respond to me before I reply. He was making a generalized statement which is misleading. ANyway here is my understanding . First and foremost I am not an expert in such stuffs - this is based on my experience flashing the first Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab and present Galaxy S II.

PIT stands for PARTITION INFORMATION TABLE. The pit file basically tells Odin how to divide the partitions (for formating) and also where certain components ( PDA, PHONE, CSC ) to go when flashing them individually. PIT understanding is very crucial when you wish to flash roms from samfirmware.com , one place I always discourage new users from attempting as it is a trap to bricking a phone if you do not understand what you are doing

Cooked roms take cares of PIT ; you rarely see cooked roms asking you to choose PIT during flash thro Odin. Most cook roms, the developer has built in his rom the PIT instructions

For example, in the samfirmware.com Galaxy S site, you can even see different types of PIT listed and a warning that you choose the right PIT file. In its SGS II site, If you look at samfirmware.com - there is a default PIT file you can download at the top box just above the list of firmwares for different regions. If you download any of these official roms, you will see some roms comes with a PIT file and some does not. You asked a very good question, why is the PIT included if is of no use ?
My advise is simply this : If you see a PIT included in your rom, choose it during flashing as most probably the PIT is a changed version from default. You can only use this PIT to flash with the rom that comes with it. You cannot take this PIT and used it to flash another rom - this will brick your phone. When you use a wrong PIT - you have 2 possible scenarios :
- failed flash and phone cannot boot
- flash OK but the whole internal SD is formatted and cannot be detected at all by phone ( my experience with the Tab)

If the rom downloaded does not supplied a PIT file - than you just flash it without it or you choose the default PIT

As the PIT name implies, using PIT basically repartition /reformat your whole internal SD - once you select PIT, you will see repartition is auto selected. All your data in the internal SD will be wipe clean

You can choose NOT to select the PIT during flashing if you wish to have your internal SD intact. I cannot say whether you will have a successful flash. If is successful it just means your present rom PIT is similar to the rom you have downloaded. If is unsuccessful, just flash it again and select PIT

Read this post if you wish to know more. The writer similarly points out about the false/wrong understanding of many users about using PIT

Uncle Benny,

Thank you for your explanation on PIT. Never in my life dare to touch PIT. Now, at least I understand a little bit more. Before this PIT was for me...

Thank you again Uncle!
