Heimdall / Odin - which PIT?

---

Wondering which PIT 512 or 803 to point Heimdall at later when I try to flash CWM.

Don't think you Odin users need it, but Heimdall requires a pit as one of the parameters on the command line.

Any thoughts?

Really? Maybe I've got an old version. Haven't used it in a while since it wasn't necessary with the Nexus S.

Thanks.

Thanks. I suspected a wrong pit could screw things up, hence the question here.

Other says you don't need it, so I'll double check that. Please don't bother with one on my behalf just yet!

I'm very interested in knowing more about it as well. Others have said Heimdall is the safer way vs Odin.

Newer versions of heimdall don't require the PIT file, in fact it pulls the PIT data from the phone rather than requiring you to point to one.

I can't get heimdall to work with my DC on either Mac or PC. Can't get Odin either. Others report success, though. YMMV.

Odin worked initially for me on my MacBook Air running Win7 in Parallels (powered USB hub too). Still trying to get Heimdall to work and on the MAC side.
