If you have read Lite'ning Rom feature, it includes root. So you do not even need to root the phone before flashing Lite'ning. Just flash and you will have root and CWM.
so just flash? no need to root?

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

I quoted what Benny said in his previous post about PIT files. That should explain your question.

Yupe. Lite'ning includes root access after flashing so there is no need to root it first.

The PIT included is for those users who would like to repartition/reformat the internal SD card to have a complete new start. It is up to you. Select PIT will auto repartition and you will lose all your 3rd party data, apps, settings etc

I STRONGLY suggest you read my TIPS on rom flashing page 1 post #4. Based on the string of questions you are asking, you are just like shooting in the dark. Do make some effort understand the basics. The line of questions you are basically asking to be spoonfed - and that is not good.
And to answer your question - it has been replied and is very clear , why are you still asking about is it necessary to root ??? NO NEED - once you flash Litening it is auto root. And users here has already told you flashing this rom will not wipe your data - and you are asking again " need factory reset ". I give you my personal advise - it is GOOD to factory reset to have loess potential of bugs. If you want easy way out , which I see is most probably what you want - than no need . The choice is up to you

I don't use TouchWiz at all ; if not I will answer you . You are repeating this I think the 3rd time already today. WHy don't you exercise initiative and google solution on the web instead of repeatedly asking here - try fierst XDA ???. I will do it and I will see whether I can find an answer for you out from lowyat
Immediately I want to ask you, do you know first screen starts as 0 NOT 1 - could this be the problem - just guessing since like I said I don't use it
