  5. Then click on various keys which will make you choose several files as shown here: tap “PDA“, opt for a CODE file, tap “Phone“, choose a file with MODEM, click on “CSC“, select a file which has CSC in the name and finish off by tapping “PIT” and then opting for a .pit file. Don’t leave the Odin.
  6. Look around until you spot some boxes with various names next to them; now opt for the following 3: Re-partition, F. Reset Time and Auto Reboot. The Re-partition works only with the .pit file; so choose this box if you selected that file.
