[Completed] CSC file, repartitioning, PiT file, non-wipe flashing and relations between these

[HellScre4m]

I have ideas about what PIT files do. They provide data for appropriate phone storage partitioning.
I know repartitioning (an ability in ODIN and z3x) wipes data
I also know the differences between CSC and HOME_CSC is that the first one wipes data and second doesn't.
Now I have some questions:

1. Is repartitioning different from using a PIT file?
2. If yes, will I face problems checking repartition checkbox without using a PIT file?
3. I inspected CSC and found a .pit file inside it. Is that pit file responsible for wiping data (repartition thing)?
4. How to realize if a 1-file ROM (PDA only) is non-wipe or not?

Well ,

Infact 1 rom tar will not wipe data's , it's only install as updated for ur current firmware but if u had / faced random reboot then for sure u need full wipes ,

Yes once u install rom with pit its will erase everything on ur phone & its will solve too many problems if ur firmware having it .

Good luck ,
