[Q] Stuck at "Get PIT for Mapping" everytime

hello all! so i hope that wans't posted before,
Here is the thing , earlier today i tried to flash to JM7 but odin got stuck for 2 hours so i unplugged the usb. Since then i have been trying to flash jm,1 jm5, or jm6 but i can't get past the "get PIT for Mapping".,
Since earlier i also can't make the phone to boot, black screen all the way , the only thing i can do is get in download mode, i can't even access recovery mode.
did it ever happen to anyone?

Yeh happened a few times. Are you using the right pit file? Also set odin to win xp compatibility mode with admin access. Unplug all usb except mouse and kb and try again
Worst case find yaself a xp box and do it there.

Yeah I know..I'm bringing a thread back from the dead. But I'm desperate right now.
I'm having the same issue. So I rooted my phone awhile ago and was using the Paragon RC4 ROM, I upgraded it to RC6 and everything worked fine, but I decided to start from a clean slate and use ODIN3 to go back to stock and start from scratch (with a full battery cause when I first flashed I was apparently only at 98% battery). So I started ODIN3 and put the phone into download mode. ODIN picked the phone up right away and I hit Start. ODIN's status says:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
And it sits at 'Get PIT for mapping..'.
There's a small blue status bar on the phone and it just sits at about 1/4".
I did a bad thing and yanked the battery and now the phone will only go into Download mode and ODIN still just sits at 'Get PIT for mapping..'. I can't get into recovery mode, can't even get a splash screen. I can't post in the [STOCK ROM\ Odin3 thread cause I'm a new member. So I'm stuck...anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Where is the pit file you are using .

I've managed to solve it. It wasn't the pit file, it was my 64 bit Windows. After I emulated a virtual machine and installed windows xp 32 bit, it worked like a charm.

first of all thanks for your fast reply
i've downloaded this firmware ( \N7100XXDLJ2 OXA FACTORY )
and tried it , didnt work
i work at samsung company in lebanon , and i have all the offical firmwares
i tried them , it wont work
in odin 3.04 it wont work , it quickly fails with out even starts ( re-partition operation failed )
and in odin 3.07 ( get pit for mapping ) and stucks on ( set partition )
i tried allot of different PIT files , and unticking ( re-partition ) nothing happend , and it only goes to download mode , or when i turned it on , it stucks on ( samsung galaxy note II ) plz help me

Messed up SGS3 4G - Root failed, can't start phone - Wiped everything.

Recently I used ODIN 3.0.7 to try and root my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Telia) 4G with a so-called "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4".
It is the 16 GB, 2 GB RAM 4G/LTE version, and it was running at Android 4.1.2 when I tried to do the root.
The phone booted up fine and ODIN claimed it was a success, I immediately noticed that the phone had stopped recognizing my SIM card, and the Root Checker also stated that something was wrong and it wasn't rooted. so I download a stock ROM and try to install that, however when I choose the SD card to try and install it, it says no files are found.I had made it to the CWM Recovery tool on the phone, and I could start the phone that way ("Reboot Phone Now", but it still didn't recognize my stuff, so I tried following the stock ROM instructions I was given, and I wiped all data, cache and stuff after backing it up on my PC in the CWM recovery tool.
Now, at this point, the phone is stuck at "Downloading - Do not turn off target!". When I try turning it off, the screen goes black for 2 seconds, and then the screen appears again. If I am quick, I can get into the "ODIN" mode, where I can once again try and root it. It fails again, but now I get to the CWM Recovery Tool again, but no files are found at all, and if I reboot the phone, it just goes back to the Downloading screen (I left it on overnight and it stayed on that screen, by the way. I doubt it is ACTUALLY downloading anything).
I do not know the Kernel or ROM version. The phone was bought in the start of February, though, so I could imagine it's rather new.
What do I do now? I just wish to get my phone back to normal Android, normal everything even if it means a factory reset.

You need to goto the NV backup sticky thread in the dev section that I put together, look near the bottom.
Download the param binary and flash with odin to revive your device.

Hello, I followed the guide and flashed the phone with the param with ODIN, however, the phone is still stuck on its "Downloading - Do Not Turn Off Target!" screen (though it is not showing the ODIN mode at the corner anymore.

You probably corrupted your efs partition by flashing a CF Root not intended for your phone. The CF Root is for SGS3 not I9305 LTE.

You already have root with this rom

Hello again, sorry for sort of necroing.
So I got it running again, there is one nasty problem, though - The phone won't recognize my SIM card, meaning that it simply doesn't register that there is one.
I'd guess the phone warranty is void at this point, so what do I do? Is there any DIY fix?

[Q] Unrooted Note stuck on Boot screen, Help

Hello, I've had my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 for about a year now. I've never rooted it before.
This morning I was browsing my phone and it just shut off and went to the "Samsung GALAXY Note GT-N7000" boot screen.
I saw on other forms instructions on how to hard reset the N7000 (Remove battery, put back in, then hold Volume up, Power and Home button, then it gives you a menu to choose from)
When I do that it doesn't give me a menu screen, It just goes to the boot screen I described above, or it goes to the little green android man with the rotating object in him, then back to the (GT-N7000) boot screen a few minutes later.
I have a macbook, so I can't use the odin program. (Nor would I know how)
I don't mind wiping all the data from my phone and restarting from the beginning.
I have all the stuff I need (phone numbers) stored on my google account. And I can redownload my main apps I liked.
Any ideas?

Update
I have a windows computer I can use, so I want to use Odin to put the normal firmware back on my phone.
I am having a hard time finding the USA firmware for the GT-N7000. I have been looking all around but cannot seem to find it.
Can anybody help me out?

Check in Samfirmware.com.

Thank you very much I'll go ahead and use the UK one since it will boot in English then.
Any tips on using Odin? Or things I should do or avoid? I don't want to brick my phone by accident.

Use the rom in pda. Don't tick anything else other than default.

You sir, are awesome.

Thank you! That was exactly what I needed to know!
I'm currently downloading the ROM, I will update after I've used ODIN.
Also my phone is at 100% battery in preparation since people said to make sure it was charged before flashing.

Slight Problem...
I'm using Odin v1.85 following the instructions above and it has gotten stuck on "NAND Write Start!" for the past 15 minutes.
It doesn't seem like it is going to do anything. What should I do?

Still? Wait for some more time. Then kill kies processes and run odin as administrator. Boot into download mode again. And try.

I'm windows inept

I waited about 15 more minutes then held the power button to turn it off. So now it's off and charging again.
These may be really really dumb questions, but:
1) how do i kill kies processes?
2) And how do I run as administrator?
Sorry, I'm sorta windows inept since I've been using a macbook for the past 5 years.

Open task manager and check anything related to kies. Also make sure samsung usb drivers are properly installed. If not or in doubt, download and install kies first. Then plug the phone in and with for the drivers to install.
On the phone and check what is the message on screen, if it's a firmware recovery screen the try connecting with kies recovery option. If still stuck on logo, kill all kies process. Right click on odin and run as administrator. The put phone on download and flash.

Trying it soon
I didn't have kies installed, so I am installing it right now. So once that is installed I will try it out and let you know if it works :fingers-crossed:

Updating right now
I just started updating at 10:28
I downloaded Kies, and the screen wasn't in emergency recovery, so I killed all kies processes and then i put my phone into download mode and started ODIN v1.85 as an administrator and plugged in my phone.
By 10:29 it hit <ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
It's 10:45 and it's still on NAND Write Start!!

There must be problem with emmc. Use the pit file method to install correctly. Flash the pit file first with re-partition ticked and others un-ticked. See if it goes successful. Then flash your PDA with re-partition un-ticked and reboot and reset ticked.

Is there any certain pit file thread that you would point me towards?
I been looking and I found a couple, but they all vary a little and I really really don't want to brick my phone.

I've been flashing it for about 20 minutes now, using the pit file with only re-partition ticked. It hast't moved past <ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Should i be worried, or does re-partitioning with the pit file take a long time?
Was I supposed to have the PDA file in there too while flashing, or just the pit file? I really hope I didn't f this up...
I don't want a really expensive paper weight

DEAD
It was sitting there flashing with the pit file and my friend threw a ball at me and it hit the usb cable and it unplugged my phone from the computer. Then the computer wouldn't recognize my device anymore. I tried to turn my device back into download mode to restart the process but it won't even turn on or show that it is charging when plugged in.
I guess this is the end
Unless anybody out there is a miracle worker.

[Q] Help! phone got bricked!

Dear XDA geniuses, i could really need your help!
for the last month my battery started to run out pretty fast. Couple of days ago i noticed a weird thing, the screen started to flicker, and the phone disconnected itself from the cellular network. And then the worst has happened- the phone just shuts down itself and ever since i cant turn it on.
The only thing i can do is go into download mode, so i switched batteries and tried to install a stock firmware from sammobile with odin.
at first odin failed and told me that there is no PIT partition, i pressed reset and tried again from a different USB and then it told me "operation failed" without any reason. I tried it again and again with different version of odin, different firmware, different cable and every time the same thing- first no PIT partition and then just fail..
Please Help!

You probably need to repartition your phone using a PIT file. It is very risky though so do so at your own risk.

Not sure, you could try a different Odin version maybe. I looked around online a bit and some people had luck trying it with a different cable. If that doesn't work then the PIT is probably no good. I could try dumping mine if you want but it will be the first time I've done it so don't blame me if it bricks your phone.

Tried different odin version, it doesn't stuck but says "re-partition operation failed". Tried different cable, didn't help.
looks like i don't have choice but to try you'r PIT file. If that won't work I'm thinking of taking it to a lab, you think they'll be able to fix it?

I'm starting to think that your eMMC chip is dead so it's possible that your motherboard will need replacing. Try flashing a custom recovery in Odin and seeing if you get any error messages when you boot into it. I can make the file later tonight but it's probably better to try some other things first.

Didn't change much. Tried to flash only the recovery and got "No PIT partition" so i added the PIT file and again "Re-Partition operation failed"
You think its a lost cause? HW problem?

It's sounding like it might be. I made the file but I haven't tested it or anything. I'll pm you the password for the .zip since I don't want random people flashing it.

That sucks, it sounds like it might have been sudden death syndrome or something because of the screen flickering. The last thing you could try is ticking nand erase all as well but that could potentially completely hard brick the phone because if it still fails to write after wiping you could lose your bootloader.

I just found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/sudden-death-i9300-t2786220 . You could try doing what he did and put a custom recovery instead of a stock ROM in PDA when using the PIT file but I doubt that it would work.

I tried it with the last PIT file, still didn't work..

Please help - Sorry if this is the place

Hi folks,
I friend of mine have this phone that is stuck in Odin mode. The problem is that none of the "press and hold keys" commands work and the phone just reboots into Odin every time. She has "tons" of Pictures of her first born Child on the device, without any cloud backup! :crying:
Any suggestions what to try next?
What i have done so far:
Trying all the "press and hold keys"
Letting the battery drain out and the hook up the Power to it... When connecting Power the screen turns White for 15-20 minutes and then if i reboot it, it goes back to Odin/download mode...
Is it possible that opening the phone and removing the battery could work?

I am no expert, just going to suggest what I would try, hopefully someone may know what to do exactly.
You could try downloading stock filmware from Sammobile or updato (making sure to at least flash the same filmware build or higher, or Odin won't flash it) if you use the "home csc" csc file, it should not wipe the data on the phone, and what I hope may fix the phone not booting.

First of all you should have mentioned the model no. Second, you can try flashing the stock firmware from sammobile. Now, the tricky part is, if prior to this soft brick the phone was on a custom rom or had been rooted, then flashing the firmware alone won't bring the device back to life, a factory reset will be needed after flashing stock firmware, which doesnt seems like a favorable option considering that the data on device is important. There can be other ways to fix this without losing the data but for that illl need to know the device details.
Oh and btw, opening the device and messing with the battery won't help at all. Don't do that.

Its an Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950F)
The only thing i can see in the display is
https:// imgshare.io/image/odin-2.U7KCu
We dont know what firmware was beeing used Before this, it´s not custom or rooted tho. I assume its the latest official tho
I grabbed the latest from Sammobile, N950FXXU7DSJ1_N950FCKH7DSJ1_HTS
I could try the above suggestions but what about trying to flash the BL? Could it not be the BL that is cuppupt somehow?

I did try and flash the BL now but Odin software says:
<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1301)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> Total Binary size: 7 M
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
So it seems the partitions are gone, @stinka318. Next, where do i find PIT-files?

Found PIT file but it failed.
Also tried CSC flash but it fails (looks like Odin might not cennect to the device (ID:COM 0: [COM4])
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1301)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> Total Binary size: 179 M
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Can't open the serial(COM) port.

Driver related? i have the Samsung USB drivers installed….

Seems like it's a kernel problem, or maybe the phone IMEI reported stolen?
Have you tried installing custom binaries? TWRP maybe?
Or messing with OEM unlock found in Developer Options?
Most of the for solving such problem, you have to flash the exact same firmware found on phone before the problem.

Try rooting using odin and then twrp and thenflashing a custom firmware..... That could help..... Just a thought.... Wipe everything except internal storage

Try flashing this via odin through AP.
