So I am updating the update script file in the 4.3 update to remove the integrity checks for all files and removing the lines of code to remove the Bootloader.
I need help as to which file or files are linked to the bootloader.
Code:
set_perm_recursive(0, 2000, 0755, 0755, "/system/xbin");
ui_print("Update tz.mbn ota");
assert(package_extract_file("tz.mbn", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8"));
ui_print("Package tz.mbn done.");
ui_print("Update aboot.mbn ota");
assert(package_extract_file("aboot.mbn", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6"));
ui_print("Package aboot.mbn done.");
ui_print("Update rpm.mbn ota");
assert(package_extract_file("rpm.mbn", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7"));
ui_print("Package rpm.mbn done.");
ui_print("Update sbl2.mbn ota");
assert(package_extract_file("sbl2.mbn", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"));
ui_print("Package sbl2.mbn done.");
ui_print("Update sbl3.mbn ota");
assert(package_extract_file("sbl3.mbn", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"));
ui_print("Package sbl3.mbn done.");
Once I get this last bit of information I can remove that from the update script and the update should apply everything with the exception of the bootloader and related files.
ui_print("Update aboot.mbn ota");
assert(package_extract_file("aboot.mbn", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6"));
ui_print("Package aboot.mbn done.");
And we are sure there is nothing else relating to the bootloader?
I have the script updated however TWRP is not liking it. Keeps getting an Error. an someone look and see if they can see the issue here.
Problem solved. Flashing now. Will report back shortly. Hopefully my phone works after skipping the bootloader and all the checks.
James
All flashed fine. However bootloop and I forgot to take out the new recovery out of the script. Kept the same bootloader though. Hopefully I can odin back to MF9 otherwise I am screwed.
James
Ok so I was able to odin back to MF9. Will be trying the update script on a clean MF9 system.
So this is an absolutely a no go. I can update without the bootloader but it will 100% not boot. I get to the sprint bootscreen and it locks. Something in this rom seems like it requires the bootloader. I have tried clean system nothing on it and it will not boot. With a bit of modification to the script I can probably get the modem updating pretty easily.
James
Isn't there a way I could pull the img's from my fone? I did the full 4.3 update on a brand new fone, I flashed cf auto root and philz touch cwm recovery. If someone could tell me how to pull the img's, or couldn't I just use recovery to make a backup? and then post the backed up files?

We (me and sac) figured it out, you AT LEAST need the new modem, as shown by the logcat here, or it won't boot.
Code:
D/QSEECOMAPI: ( 3716): QSEECom_start_app sb_length = 0x8271c
D/QSEECOMAPI: ( 3716): App is not loaded in QSEE
E/QSEECOMAPI: ( 3716): Error::Cannot open the file /system/etc/firmware/tima_pkm.mdt

Why would we not want to include the bootloader? I thought we wanted everything except recovery?
Where is freeza???

I have attached my updater-script file. This removes all checks and the bootloader. The only issue is I cannot get the update to boot for the life of me. There is just a never ending bootloop at the samsung screen. I have tried everything I can think of. The good thing is as long as your on MF9 before running the update with my script it seems as though you can odin back to stock MF9 without any issues but I cannot confirm this completely. I have been able to go back multiple times but could something be hidden that I dont know about who knows. If you try to use my updater-script file within the stock update it is at your own risk obviously. For safe measures on my part I deleted the Aboot file out of the update.

Currently the new bootloader enables Knox Void Warranty Binary. Its possible after you upgrade the bootloader from 4.3 that you will void your warranty and have no way to reset this binary ticker(Flash counter). This is currently the same issue with Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Some people believe that this new bootloader could blow an efuse which would void your warranty and set the ticker to 0x1(This is only a rumor at this point in time). Others believe its software related. Either way its somehow tied into this 4.3 bootloaders that are being released by Samsung.

Just a small correction: it's not a flash counter nor is it related to the counter that methods like TriangleAway can currently reset. It's a binary flag, 0 or 1.
To add onto this, I believe I've read that after upgrading to a Knox equipped bootloader, people have been unable to downgrade. Not even through Odin.
I just updated the wife's phone..uh oh..NOT. everything is going good but I'm wondering if it is possible to run MJA modem on an MF9 base..I'm thinking yes but after noticing the Linux enforcement on MJA I'm asking some people a whole lot smarter than me.

Here is a good NAE PIT file for anyone who needs it.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g4vurphkhc8o83p/Sprint_NAE_L720-16GB.pit?dl=0
The md5sum of the PIT I printed from my MK2 phone has a different value than the PIT you posted, but I have used it to flash things without issue. Do the PITs change with each update (ie MK2 -> NAE)?
i have no idea what this is even for.

PIT stands for Partition Information Table, and is used in conjunction with ODIN or heimdall to flash Samsung devices. Here are two quick reads that explain the basics of PIT files. And as for my question above, it appears that the PIT file can change with new firmware releases.

I'm not sure this is ever needed except in dire circumstances.
AFAIK if you get a PIT file missing (or not found, or needed, or whatever PIT error) that just means that you need to plug your USB cable directly into the back of your computer in a port that is on the motherboard and not a hub or pci card. With the factory cable.
I've ran into a PIT error two times, and both times "fixed" it by going direct. Actually it fixed itself.
That being said... Thank you for providing it, can't hurt to download it just in case.
How does one make a PIT file tho? Im cause so I can get some of the Cricket S4 PIT files.

Use heimdall on a linux system to print your PIT file. If you're not command line savvy (like me) there is a GUI available that is pretty straightforward.
Edit: also check out this thread.

Not usually. A PIT file is just a partition information table. Usually they don't change. You should research before you use anything though bro. Message me if you need anything else.
I"m on the Sprint Note 5 now if anybody else is go to that forum.

Hey... I posted it because when you flash something you run the risk of malicious code being injected. Extra partitions contaning these malicious codes stay unless you nand erase and flash a .tar with a PIT file. This is why I provided the link. There are ton's of bad guys here. Many get banned when they are caught, but many are clever. When in doubt, nand erase the device and use a pit file with your .tar Wahlah.... I'm a helpful whitehat.
Just recently purchased a Note 4 off craiglist but didn't check if the firmware was genuine (my mistake), As I tried to root the device it stated its missing the PIT partition. Does anyone by any chance have these files? I also tried reflashing stock rom to see if that would fix the issue but the same issue comes up.

The count number is the length in bytes. 2396 is the size of my note 10.1 so I used it again here as they should be the same
Could someone PLEASE share the PIT file? I'm having an /efs issue so need this to factory wipe.

Did you try this?
I want you to create or build your own “PIT” Re-Partition Table file using PIT Magic app, please grab it forum.xda-developers.com-thread-1916936 and then Create New PIT Files from scratch as the PIT Magic can control them and we can see the contents. Using a PIT data partition when flashing is something risky as it targets the system memory, one messed up the system memory could lead-up to undesirable outcomes, so that is why I want you to build your PIT file own, so when something might went wrong its your own creation.
Once you have your own Pit file, then proceed into flashing. Again make sure the battery is fully charge (recharge the battery using external battery charger or borrow from your neighbors Galaxy Note 4)
1. Boot the Galaxy Note 4 into download mode screen then connect to PC.
2. This time load the N910W8.pit Pit file on Odin’s PIT Button
3. Load your original stock firmware on the Odin’s PDA button.
4. Click on “Start” to flash the stock firmware and PIT file then wait.

Just fixed my Factory Mode issue. I restored ONLY the EFS from a nandroid backup I had in TWRP. Hit restore, navigate to twrp/backups select the rom of like kind (Mine was from late 2014 even but same KK rom) and then restored ONLY the EFS file and rebooted. Factory Mode error gone and it automatically connected to wifi as per usual/norm which is one of the things this Factory Mode specifically mentions. All good!!!

Hello Airtioteclint or whoever has the PIT file,
Sorry to bother you but I've searched all ends of the interweb and I can not for the love of me find that pit file for the SM-N910P. I was wondering if you can repost that file because I've been trying to flash my phone for the past 3 days now. It would be much appreciated and in return just name it. I will do everything in my power to return the favor. Thank you.
I know this is an old thread but if someone should happen to come across it here's a link to all the pit files from sammobile, hopefully this helps someone

Well I finally got rid of Verizon and my S3's lol for this phone and a new company. But as i went and got the phone and did not research come to find out I guess i have a locked bootloader cause now I get this.........
Secure Fail: RECOVERY
I went to install a twrp 3.0.0.0 tar and I got greeted with some Verizon S3 stress of what I think is a locked BL.
Ok lets say that's the case its locked.......
How can I find out the right stock firmware all I'm positive about is the following info:
Gold 16gb AT&T S5 SM-G900A
4.4.2
At this time I need the right firm and then anyone willing to guide me in the right direction to get 6.0.1 on here and SE permissive I'll love you.
For now I'm phoneless!

If it was on 4.4.2 when you got it there are Odin packages for that. We can't get SE permissive(except through multisystem) and there's no MM release from art for our phone.

Good news for everyone using the Metro version of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime version 5.1.1 and soft bricked their device. After searching for almost a week I finally found the original stock firmware for the Metro PCS version not the T-Mobile version.
*Credit goes to TSAR3000 for original upload*
Android Version# 5.1.1
FW Version# G530T1UVU1AOH9
Build# LMY47X.G530T1UVU1AOH9
Kernel# 3.1049-5647484
Also I have included the .pit files. Use Odin to flash both files. Connect your Galaxy G530T1 to your PC and open Odin. (I run as admin, not sure if it makes a difference but doesn't hurt to be sure.) Click on the pit tab and select the .pit file included in the package. Then check the AP box and select the FW for your device. I leave the settings as is as far as reset time and re-partition boxes are checked. Also The FRP lock is disabled. (Again I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not but better to be safe than sorry). To disable the FRP go to the developer settings and turn on OEM Unlocking as well as the USB Debugging. If you dont see Developer Options under the settings menu, go to About device and click on the Build # 7 times to unlock the developer settings. Download the zip file from one of the links below and extract the files. If you still want to root after you flash I have a link for the KingRoot file as well.
Firmware is approx 966MB
KingRoot is approx 8.2MB
Decryption keys are included in Mega links

Awesome! Great work.
thanks for posting but need help
Thanks for posting this, It is exactly what I was looking for. I have a MetroPCS Grand Prime(MetroPCS SM-G530T1) After trying to load another .tar file via odin(from another source), I have been getting a continual soft reset. I then found your post and am very desperately trying to get back to what I had before. (even though root would still be nice)
I downloaded the drop box link you have, it was 1.6 gigabytes though in size and you mentioned it would be 966 Megs,
I couldn't get the Mega link to work as it asked me for a decryption key.
I then opened Odin and used the AP to load the .tar file that downloaded from drop box. It failed and I am not sure why, here is what the log said.

I am not sure how to proceed from here, You mentioned a PIT file but I didn't get one of those when I downloaded from the drop box link, Do I need that file to make this work?
Maybe it is included in the Mega link but it says I am supposed to ask you for the decryption key, can you give that to me? Or maybe there is something else I am not doing correctly.
it says G360 right in the filename... The G360 is the Core Prime... Not the Grand Prime.

Also, the firmware you linked is nowhere near 966mb! The one you uploaded is 1.53GB. Be cautious with this XDA, could be the wrong file mistakenly uploaded, but it's always good to be cautious before flashing your device with something you aren't sure about.
For those who are having problems with the Mega link I have the decryption key for you. I also double checked the mega link and I'm positive that it is the correct firmware. It is labled G530T1UVU1AOH9_TMB1AOH9_v5.1.1_Repair_Firmware.zip
The decryption key is: !avrYieWfJH6mJcu3TC5NnYCCrrFmdZ16YXRbAfJ-rNs
Sorry for the dropbox upload. I did post the wrong link and I appologize for that. The new links are up
Hey

Yes this is the Metro version with metro PCS bloatware/apps instead of t-mobile bloatware/apps lol. Pretty much the only difference between the two. I noticed when I used the T-Mobile version I wasn't able to use MyMetro app. Always gave me an error.

Untouched stock rom
