Here's the step procedures on how to flash or download the Samsung Galaxy S Firmware. The guide below will use the methods of restoring the Samsung Galaxy S back to stock firmware by way of using ODIN.
Odin is a windows application that can be used to flash different firmware onto various Samsung Android Devices, such as the Galaxy S or other Galaxy S series that is compatible with ODIN. It is vital that EVERYBODY who roots their Samsung Device knows how to use ODIN because it is often the only way to flash certain ROMs/Firmware or completely revert back to stock firmware.
Flashing the device firmware can fix unexpected errors or failures on the device or when all else fails, it is the only way to restore a device to working condition after a partial brick or boot loop.
Preparing and Setting up ODIN and Files used to Flash.
-Odin3 version 1.82
Just install this software where the windows installed to avoid any problem issues.
-".PIT" file for the Samsung Galaxy S
There are now three different versions of the .pit file. 513.pit, 512.pit and 803.pit. 513.pit only works for early firmwares and should not be used anymore. The 512.pit file is used for all Android 2.1 Eclair firmwares and the Android 2.2 Froyo firmwares up to and including the I9000XXJP3 firmware. There are several beta Froyo releases that require the 803.pit file to function properly, however, official 2.2 and 2.2.1 firmwares again work with the 512.pit file.
The .pit file maps partitions on the NAND storage. The code has been cracked by the Cyanogen developers working on the SGS and it will siginificantly accelerate work on fully featured Gingerbread ports.
