The guide says we don't have to tick repartition.
But i think it should, as it's a 3-file firmware.

And if you don't use repartition, there is no need to backup, cause you won't loose data.
Current devices:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Asus Nexus 7

Old phones (sold):
Nokia Lumia 800
HTC One X
Samsung Galaxy S 16GB

Well since the Cache is recommended to be cleared after the flashing, it is recommended to backup. And I ticked the repartition, because I have seen this mentioned here: http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/...pgrade_10.html

Better safe than sorry

Oh and don't forget to disable HSDP after the flashing in case you are fine with 3G UMTS internet speed: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/...sung-galaxy-s/

Easiest way for backing up SMS: the app called 'GO SMS'. Much better than the Samsung one. And there's a feature to back up SMS automatically.

You don't need to use a pit or re-partition with 1-file or 3-files firmwares, and there is no point in selecting a pit file while having 're-partition' un-checked.

True, regardless, I changed the guide to include PIT and re-partition. It's just a tad cleaner and some people get pedantic about that. Won't make a difference to those who don't.

I have seen the changes, you need to prepare your self now for questions like 'which pit file must I use ?'

I have also seen that you are using a link from samfirmware, why don't you use the link from Darky's Forum who was the source for this leaked firmware: http://www.darkyrom.com/community/in...base-rom.3519/ samfirmware have just downloaded the firmware from Darky's Forum like everybody else and just put it on there forum.
