This looks like a first in Loke history. Apparently this device is capable of writing to external SDCard? Be careful while flashing. Correct me if this is not external mmc.
The EFS is a partiton which handles the serial number and carrier information on your device. be careful with this. You may lose service if you mess up this partition. make sure that you copy this partition. Google "EFS Backup STL3" for more information.
This is the Secondary bootloader. it can be considered an operating system on it's own. This is where loki (what Heimdall and Odin talk to) lives. It also has an SBL prompt which you can use over UART to talk to the device and load/delete partitions or make serious changes to the device. A wrong SBL can lead to bricking. Make sure you flash boot.bin and Sbl.bin at the same time. To be safe, flash params and repartition as well.
Usually this is a duplicate of SBL. It is intended for a backup but I'm not totally convinced it's operational. This is supposed to be like a backup SBL, but I've never found it useful especially because it won't boot if the PBL does not match.
this is where SBL stores information. This is the settings for boot and contains the image you see on startup as well as the Download Mode image and others.
This partition is a duplicate of the Kernel partition. It is intended to be used for a recovery but I have never found it useful. You can flash garbage to it and the phone will boot and enter recovery just fine. However, if you flash garbage to the kernel partition, this partition won't boot. I don't understand it's function really...
This is a firmware like the Linux kernel for the Modem. The modem contains an entire operating system on it. This is the reason we can talk and surf and play with apps at the same time. This firmware won't keep the phone from booting, but it can affect things like Phone, Data and GPS.
I don't know what UMS is... I assume it's like a second modem on the device. It is likely the same as the MODEM device with a bit different functionality.
I'd like to note that Voodoo LagFix is no longer required.. These are all EXT4 partitions!
I ignore PMs with questions that could be answered by searching. If you PM me, I probly won't respond.

btw... why is this stickied? The pit file is a useful tool. a printout won't help for anything.
