Unbricking I8190N with Heimdall

Hello, I don't see why this is not working -- I'm working on the following model:
Model number: GT-I8190N
Baseband version: I8190NXXALL6
Build number: JZO54K.I8190NXXALL6
I accidentally overwrote the partition table; now I'm trying to push into the original firmware:
Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I8190N-DBT-I8190NXXALL6-1356151513.zip
using Heimdall (v1.4 RC1) and i8190N_goldenxx.pit, which I've found on this awesome forum, and corresponds to the original PIT:

Everything flashes ok, but the device is stuck to the boot "samsung" screen (Yep, I waited hours; also tried with different firmwares and same procedure, but I've always got the same result)
I don't really see what's going wrong here... any idea ? PS: I don't have a Win box here

Guys, anyone here could please provide params.lfs, recover.img and other possibly needed files ? (Or point me any place on the web for finding them?)
I understand it's bothering to acquire the files from a device, if that fixes the problem I will thank with paypal
(And the files will remain here for other guys with similar issues)

Try Odin instead and see if any problems pop up or try to redownload the firmware at SamMobile

I won't build recovery since I've never done it and doesn't have the device, but I can make a package with boot and recovery for odin which I guess will be needed for testing recovery. I'll try to rebuild system dump as well to make it odin compatible.
Edit1:Can someone make a dump for this? param -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
Edit2:Here's a odin file for stock boot and recovery in one package.
[URL=http://d-h.st/gCu]SM-G730A_boot_rec.tar.md5 - 14.76 MB[/URL]

thx i know odin so that could help but where would i learn from that so i can be helpfull in the fututure to this community, thx in advance

sorry didnt check my pm heres a thx for the help

Yes, but I was wrong anyway
It seems to be hidden somewhere but using heimdall could work.
It got option for downloading pit from device.

Here is the pit file (using Heimdall) from my G730A. Hope it helps.
Also printout of PIT info from Heimdall:

Thanks.
Now..is there any device with same processor & same screen resolution that got CWM? Maybe someone can just port it to SM-G730A using your stock recovery and that CWM.
Edit: Name of pit file should be MSM8930.pit

...and here is the recovery image.

Got it already, but thanks
What about Galaxy express? Isn't that a similar device? http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_express_i8730-5271.php

Similar yes cause it's a galaxy but screen is 4.5 in, y'all talking 4 in. Idk about the processor but the original galaxy devices all had 4 in screens. Sorry if i missed something obvious, just reading around..

Both devices got 480X800 resolution.
Is this same as SM-G730A?
Chipset Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon 400
CPU Dual-core 1.2 GHz Krait
GPU Adreno 305
You can take a look at this guide: [Guide]Port CWM Recovery for a device
May be worth a try, but first make sure you got a odin flashable original recovery file.

[Q] need help in repartition of gpt layout

Hi, i am currently facing a problem of my 0.00b internal sd not be able to install any app because of internal layout corruption now i need to resize internal partition layout i know the basic information like firstly adb shell command then
Once entered correctly on the phone, we like more clear ls command:
> alias ls='ls -an'
Now we access the partition table:
> parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
We'll get something like:
GNU Parted 1.8.8.1.179-aef3
Using /dev/block/mmcblk0
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted)
but next i need help about size of the partitions and complete information layout so i can repartition my gpt to get internal sd working.
also this thread will help to many people they are also facing the same problems like this

You can try PIT Magic v1.3.10 - Samsung PIT Creator, Editor, Analyzer to edit pit-file. As you see in the print, MBR,GTP is read only. Maybe you can change that with pitMagic, but don't blame me if it dies
I also got the MBR,GTP.bin ,give me a PM if you need it.

You can try PIT Magic v1.3.10 - Samsung PIT Creator, Editor, Analyzer to edit pit-file. As you see in the print, MBR,GTP is read only. Maybe you can change that with pitMagic, but don't blame me if it dies
I also got the MBR,GTP.bin ,give me a PM if you need it.

i flashed gpt but it did'nt resolved everything remained same when try to repartition it fails and in download mode a statement apears custom pit binary unable to mount any thing help

Can this Galaxy tab 7 be saved?

Hi, Any chance in resurrecting this galaxy tab 7? I think the partition table is messed up.
Model: Verizon Mobile SCH-I800
Issue: many;
failed to mount's
can't mount's
format fails
can't open
unknown rom
history unknown
*Can boot into recovery and download mode *can't apply update.zip from sdcard, can't even mount sdcard.
I have tried heimdall with stock roms and PITs etc but with no luck, Could not get the full file off The Collective helper package (stops mid download so could not go further with that; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383201
About to try adb with parted etc but have found little info on this and wouldn't know where to start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks, happy to try anything

A little better from flashing the files from unbricking post, but still having troubles
Tab will boot and be stuck at Verizon screen.
If someone could help out and go to here and try to download The collective helper package (direct link) and re-up it to another mirror, I'd be very grateful. I can only get through at most half of the download before it stalls but it looks like some people can get the whole thing.
Or if you could post a link to stock firmware tar.gz file for this that would be great, I cannot find it at sammobile or live.samsung-updates or pretty much anywhere...
Thanks!

Looks like Heimdall is the flasher for your tablet, not ODIN as I had mentioned earlier, but you already know that.

Tried a complete flash with your first link you posted, Thanks a proper tar.gz! used heimdall.exe rather than frontend as I was getting libusb errors. command;
heimdall.exe flash --repartition --pit sch-i800.pit --CACHE cache.rfs --FACTORYFS system.rfs --PARAM param.lfs --KERNEL zImage --RECOVERY recovery.bin
everything appeared to work fine & 100% successful except I'm still at the same screen above...
The errors I get are;
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount CACHE recovery/command
# MANUAL MODE #
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmblk0p2
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount CACHE:log/recovery.log
E:Can't open CACHE:log/recovery.log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
While i'm a little further, i'm at a loss what is still wrong, will try adb into partitions later and see if any are fat32 or something as I've seen on a post somewhere. Thanks for your help
update;
Flashed CWM with Odin.. attempting to flash cyanogenmod via a guide, got nowhere, reflashed back to where I was...

i8190 S3 mini / soft-bricked / twrp is being a persistent %@$%$!

hi, S3 Mini i8190, this has me banging my head in the wall for past 18 hours after trying a dozen roms / stock / custom / various recoveries and the pit files.
A.) Initially, the phone wasn't rooting with the norms so i had to install a prerooted rom. Anyway, since it was the an almost look-alike of stock, i wanted to move to CM 12. So, for that i had to install twrp, now even after being rooted, the odin wasn't able to flash the recovery. So, i chose the twrp app and there i messed up, i thought it would be the latest version which it wasn't it was a 2.6....version which doesn't support the f2fs so i knew i have to get a newer version of the twrp, since then i have been trying to fix this but i can't, so much so i tried stock pit files all over the internet and i get error on all of them "Complete(Write) operation failed."
Every recovery / rom which can be flashed using odin, flashes "successfully".
1.) rom loads up but it stays in soft-brick. (doesn't progresses from the boot anim)
2.) recovery shows to have successfully flashed, but on the boot; no matter which recovery i put in, it always goes to the same version of twrp that was initially installed by the app.
I forgot to mention, it asked if the right place to flash is an area of the internal memory...mmc...something...and i was furious and i selected it; i guess thats where it all messed up.
i tried pit files, roms, recoveries, stock, custom, adb push, adb sideload, various versions of odin and all.
B.) the real reason for changing to a custom rom was; the phone was able to connect to pc in download mode/recovery without a difficulty; however within rom, it was only on charging mode. So i guess there is something wrong from earlier on.
now i'm sure there's no memory bricked since writing happens easily. I probably have written the recovery somewhere like within the cache partition that it never gets deleted and no matter what i flash, it always open up twrp of the same version.
Pit isn't flashing. Can i repartition / format the entire memory someway? *nand flash etc didn't work within odin too. same error as that of pit files.
Please guide, i don't want to lose this phone, i just bought a new battery.
Any help / guide would be great. Also, nearly i have tried all there is on the forum. What are some other ways to format partitions / repartition? (not as important since logs would only tell unable to write but where should i start seeing the logs? )

hiemdall
I guess heimdall would be of help to repartition the mem blocks.... any guide on that would be much, much appreciated. Desperately looking to fix this. Alternately if any other solution is recommeded before that, please guide. Pit files won't run. Recovery can't be changed.
Also, the download mode has no counter, it shows current binary: samsung official and system status as official.
i bet the binaries aren't being placed where they should be. I'll need to repartition with no clue, where to start.

Just my 5 cent.... (I am not really a Android Developer, but understand the Smartphones "just" as little Linux-PCs.. So if you come from this way, things look diffent.)
What makes me wonder is this persisting Recovery... But at least there is one still running. (So for this and your EFS partition: First of all I Wold make a FULL SYSYTEM Backup with EFS PRo ! )
Your still running recovery can be used for an ADB Shell from your PC to figure out if your partition-table is messed up. In ADB-Shell you could use Shell commands like 'df' to figure out more. (I was into this when i had trouble with System-encryption, you could search my thread, perhaps there is a hint for you.)
Try to understand the partiton table (with all the blk0mmc...... ) and what is what for.
Compare with regular pit file.
I cannot guide you through this, because i have to google it myself. But I would try to figure out what the exact partitiontable at the S3 mini is. Perhaps this is "the wrong direction". (But for me it sounds the right guess ATM.)
I don't know if you ever worked in the shell. If not perhaps it would make more sense to figure out, if it is possible to do this with heimdal (which i think it should work)
I think the heimdal way will be better documented. At least there will be more people who could help you here.
did you ever flashed "new" boot or other partions aside from PITs , Recoverys or ROMs ? IF your partition table is fine, i would give this the first shoot to pich up some virgin Partitions (Boot, and all the other ones from a Full System Backup.... Just inserting your personal EFS-Backup (which you hopefully have)
To write logs you can use an External-SD-Card. (I used it a lot solving my trouble.)
It took me about a full month to solve my problem with encryption. Hours of reading, asking, getting hints, reading again, asking, ...... but in the end i succeeded in my task. and i learnd something new about Portable-Linux-Systems.....
So take your time. 18 hours seemed much to me, too...... in the beginning
If you are in a hurry you will mess things up.
Don't know if I could help much.

Thank you for the detailed response.
I'm again on it, trying the heimdall way. Partition seems good enough but heimdall can't write pit files either. Its picking up stuff though. Can read. Can't really write PIT.
As much as i know, Identifiers are sequention in a partition table, just about on the 3rd i read an identified on 71 with MD5HDR. I bet that's where it is all screwed up. Still looking into it. Yes, i'm pretty sure i was able to back up efs timely onto memcard.
Thank you.

tried heimdall; used all possible images i could attain including steboot.....mbr, gpt....,kernels, model, cache.... from the stock, and mbr+gpt from another source on the forum;
it flashed successfully on the console but then after restarting phone; the persistent b.....h is still there...
can't repartition using heimdall either.

tried heimdall; used all possible images i could attain including steboot.....mbr, gpt....,kernels, model, cache.... from the stock, and mbr+gpt from another source on the forum;
it flashed successfully on the console but then after restarting phone; the persistent b.....h is still there...
can't repartition using heimdall either.

Hi There,
I don't know if you yre still onto this, but i got a finding which could eventually help you.
but it seems that you have a general problem with you "internal SD" and this thread has a kind of workaround.
Perhaps a new place to start.

Greetings:good:

Thank you so much, i just had put the phone aside a while back after getting tired of trying and got busier with work. Soon again, i'll be looking into fixing it. I hope what you recommended fixes it.
Also, i managed to get cyanogenmod up and running with twrp recovery but then realized i've lost my efs folder
but i have seen people fixing efs issues by putting on stock recoveries / other's efs files or something like that.
Any idea if i have lost my efs, could i utilize either stock or someone's else efs to fix it? so far i can't write to the efs folder as i presume the PIT has been corrupted and isn't being written at all.
thanks again
