i wanna make sure i do everything right for this
i've odined back to DI18 several times and i've always used a pit file and a tar
to odin to the EC05 ext4 tar all i do is specify which pda to use?

I haven't used this package personally, but if it doesn't include a .pit file in the download then it is not needed. So what I'm saying is then take your .tar file if that is all thats included and place that in the PDA slot and your good to go.


.pit file was used in Eclair 2.1 (DI18) restore but wasn't used in EB13 and the package I helped with for EC05 that Chris originally based this off of.

thank you
ill try that and see how it goes

basically a pit file is just a partition table, if your using a md5 tar that is setup correctly, you dont need it. you can always use the victory pit that comes with most odin downloads, or i can show you how to make one from your phone in just a few seconds...

both times i tried to odin i got a runtime error than odin stopped working
fortunately my fone is still turning on successfully
any suggestions?

 

[chris41g]

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bml2 of=/sdcard/myphone.pit bs=4096
exit
adb pull /sdcard/myphone.pit myphone.pit

After that you will have your very own pit file...

any suggestions?

it will lockup seemingly when verifying the md5 for a few mins on some machines... just let it sit and dont hit anything..

 

[ggbballer96]

the runtime error occurred again and i got an error message
when i press okay it exits out of odin automatically
should i just leave the error message and wait for a few minutes?

Edit: if this helps at all, the runtime error occurs when it says "Enter CS for MD5"
Also, i tried waiting and nothing happens

 

[chris41g]

have you ever used that odin before? or is it a new download of odin?

 

[ggbballer96]

i have used this odin multiple times to restore to di18

 

[chris41g]

rename it and take the .md5 off and use a pit file then..


but i have no idea why youre having trouble with the md5, i dont think anyone is..

it was done in cygwin

md5sum -t filename.tar >> filename.tar
mv filename.tar filename.tar.md5

 

[ggbballer96]

do i have to create the pit file?
rename the tar? to anything?

 

[chris41g]

you can use the same pit file from di18 if you want, or create it it doesnt matter an epic pit file is universal.

just rename it by taking the .md5 off the endm and it should stop trying to calculate the md5

 

[ggbballer96]

i did both of those things and it started to work
the runtime error occurred again and i think my phone is permanently bricked

 

[ggbballer96]

i tried turning it on and theres a picture with a phone and an exclamation point and a computer
what do i do?!?!?!?

 

[ggbballer96]

im in the process of odin'ing back to DI18
im just gonna do a regular rfs root and stop at that
i dont wanna take too many risks
thank you for your help anyway

 

[chris41g]

It should still go into download mode.. first try downloading a new odin.. place it in a new directory.

Then try odining without a battery in your phone.

 

[ggbballer96]

im back on di18 installing ec05
thank you for your help

No need for any pit. The only thing needed is to uncheck everything except reset.
