Does anyone have the PIT file for use with the factory VZW Firmware. I found a copy of the original firmware to load with Heimdall and can get it to basically bring up a Samsung logo and I can get to download mode only.
I have tried 512 and 513 both give the same results. I can see the device when I do an ADB devices poll and I can reboot the phone into recovery and download but recovery hangs at the samsung logo as well.
Not a full blown brick since I can talk with it and work with it, I just need the correct files to reload.
Thanks in advance!!!
Anybody?
Are there any other possibilities as to what could be the root cause if its not the partition table? suggestions for ways to test?
Major Update!!!
Used Odin 1.7 to repartition with the P1 Pit, then switched to Heimdall to load a Verizon backup posted on another forum.
After about 5 mins in heimdall load the phone rebooted and now gives me access to the recovery mode but even after a wipe and reset the phone seems to bootloop at the verizon logo.
Definitely now know that for future Verizon is running the P1 Pit or at least close to it. 512, 513, and 803 would only freeze at samsung.
Edit.
I also now have regained access to the ADB shell, before I had adb and could see the devices but Shell came back with a "cannot locate in /system/bin/su"
Anybody have any suggestions on getting passed the revolving the Verizon bootup? just loops and vibrates.
Have you made any progress on ur tab? I am in the same exact situation, everytime i flash with heimdall 1.1.0 or 1.1.1 and the verizon stock rom found in the forums, my tab gets the phone and computer yellow triangle warning, the only way i can get it out is by using odin 1.70 and either the p1_add_hdden or the 909 pit to get it back to the verizon logo but with the vibrations and looping. If anyone has a known good pit file please please post it or direct me on how to extract one from my brothers tab.
Unfortunately my nandroid backup fails the md5 when i try using odin and im missing using it sooooo much :-(. thank you in advance for any help and i just have to say i try not to post as much as possible and do all the research i can but i am hitting a wall here and ive tried for days now
I am also in the same boat. I need a working PIT file
This is what you'll have to do
1. Turn off your device
2. Hold up volume button + power button
3. As soon as you see the Samsung logo, release the power button
4. With the up and down volumne button move up and down on the menu and select wipe data/factory reset option
5. Then press home
6. Finally, wait until it finish and select the reboot system now option and then press home
1. Make sure you have the drivers installed. If not search and download the Heimdall application and extract contents to a directory and look for the drivers directory. Then select Samsung USD composite device and then Install the driver.
2. You'll need to search for the correct stock file for youtr tab, then load it using the Heimdall program, follwing this instructions:
- The zImage goes in both the Kernel AND Recovery slot.
- The system.rfs goes in Factoryfs
- The Param.lfs goes in Param.lfs
- And the cache goes in the cache slot.
3. Finally hit Start
4. When it finish, you got to follow my post above
Bump for this thread. I need to restore my tab and need a working pit file. Anyone figure this out?
I'm in the same boat, got my tab jtagged and now need working Verizon .pit file to repartition. Has anybody got one yet?
Me too, somebody help me to find .PIT for verizon galaxy tab 7
BUMP... dl mode works heimdall flashes correctly but even after recovery mode cache and data wipe it still bootloops with the triple vibrate cant get past it... i assume it has something to do with the partitions from rfs to ext4 sooooooooo please can someone find a working cdma pit file
I'm in the same boat as you guys, really need a valid verizon pit file after a bad flash. Any help would be much appreciated!!

If you can go to Recovery mode, try if you can successfully do a factory wipe. If you see error messages while doing factory wipe. Please include it to you post.
Please also specify what version of android you had last.
Download heimdall 1.3.1 then install. You can down pit file from it.

My Galaxy Ace is stuck in a reboot loop after trying to flash 2.3.6 onto it, when it had 2.3.5 on it previously.
I've used ODIN and no matter what firmware I try to flash onto it, it just goes into a reboot loop.
Any idea how to fix it?
Did you try to do a wipe?

press down home button and then power on phone ...--> you will enter into recovery mode .
select wipe with help of volume keys and there you go out of bootloop
My Galaxy Ace is also in some sorta reboot loop.
Everything was working fine with it (phone is rooted and CWM installed) until I did a phone reset because I was giving the phone to my gf. After doing this the phone reboots, the blue samsung logo plays (without sound) and then repeats ad-infinitum. I can get into recovery mode and download mode ok and I've tried wipe and even restored a CWM backup (it says it was successful) but the phone just keeps rebooting. I can see the phone in odin but I've never tried to flash anything onto it and quite frankly I'm unsure whether it would just make things worse (if it needs to go back to Samsung for repair). Any help would be appreciated...
If you have cwm ..why dont you download some custom rom like cm7and flash it ..that would bring your phone back to life ...then you can downgrade to stock rom if you want ...and btw in cwm try cache partition , clear data /factory reset and clear dalvik cache ..see if it boots after you do this ..

when i always flash by odin or by cwm i always do wipe , wipe cache and wipe dalvik, this helps me everytime
I managed to flash a firmware from samfirmware and it fixed the reboot.
Now my issue is when I connect to Kies, it says there's an updated firmware for the phone but it fails every attempt to install it. I went back to samfirmware and found this firmware: S5830ZSKPD ## but when I download and extract it there's only 1 x MD5 file and 1 x DLL file?! The other firmware had the 4 or 5 files needed to include in Odin... any ideas guys?
I think its a "one package file " ..I forgot the correct name but there is some option like that in odin ..dont worry it contains all the required files ..and if you are scared to do it then go to you tube ..there are many tutorials showing it then...

Yep, that's exactly what it was, thanks again.
Unfortunately with this firmware, Kies doesn't recognise it and provides no info.
I flashed back to the older firmware... I'll just have to keep experimenting I guess.

many people says, don't upgrade the firmware with KIES.

Well I could flash it with Odin if I had the firmware but I don't.
It appears it's not available on SamFirmware.com
Do you know where I can download the following firmware?
PDA:KPD / PHONE:KPD / CSC:KPC (THL)
Thanks

Now Kies says I'm using the latest which is a good start : )
Now I just need to find a way to root my SGS2 GT-I9100T
U can try a custom ROM from the Developer's forums here.
I also once stucked in the Reboot Loop..............
But then I installed a custom or if you want features from a official Rom, you can install Stock Based custom ROm from the Developer forums of Galaxy Ace. Really good Rom have been made by the developers
In the chance that someone else is looking for this latest OEM firmware update:
PDA:KPD / PHONE:KPD / CSC:KPC (THL)
It can be downloaded from: http://translate.googleusercontent....flgljh&usg=ALkJrhiMpHV83dugh4RGwhKpyjIrYIgn2Q
It is in "one part file" format and can be flashed using Odin.
whatever may be the problem ......just rem to keep a backup of ur previously used rom and just flash it with cwm...

Read all the previous no way out loop boot
Hi every body
i have installed cwm, custum firmware, every thing goes ok
tryed to use simlock remover, no message, turned off the Galaxy Ace but after rebooting, a continuous loop boot, no acces to recovery, flashing on wath ever firmware version with odin success but on rebooting the loop is back, help please.
PS : while flasing with odin : "big partition size!!"
Hi,
First of all I'm pretty new to this forum and really don't know this is correct thread to post this or not. This forum is kinda huge
Here is my problem,
I have Samsung Galaxy S GL-I9000. After 6-7 months of use suddenly it got very slow and throwing error on installed application could not able to start (Force Close) randomly.
So I decided to do factory reset. I tried to format internal 16GB SD card, it was showing done but i could see the 4.3 GB occupied there. I factory reset option from the menu (forgot where) and it did not solve the problem.
I also tried to clear the Cache and Partition by 3-button combinations, again no use and decided to flash the ROM with available ROM.
I looked into XDA and found one and flashed it, but after flashing it is showing the samsung glowing logo and thats all, nothing is coming up.
I have Odin, Heimdall and bought the jig as well.
Please help me to make my phone in working condition. Any good ROM is fine for me don't need any fancy stuff right now.
Thanks in advance

you in something that calls BOOTLOOP you can fix it with the ODIN
tray to flush the STOCK ROM with the ODIN again
I tried to flash several times, and last 2 times I flashed with Phone EFS clear, Phone Boot Loader Update and Re-partition option selected.
Don't have any idea what else could be tried there. Can you please be specific?
Try clearing data, cache and dalvik and then flash this:

Thanks for your reply. Can you please tell me how to clear delvik?
I think data and cache can be cleared by going into reset screen by pressing 3-button combination.
Thanks in advance
Download stock rom for your phone from sammobile.
Then download odin for the phone again with pit file. It should have 512 pit file.
Now copy eveything on your internal sd card into a file on your pc.
Once done open odin, select pit512, and the three files of your stock rom ( phone, pda, csc) and check repartition. Make sure kies is not running. Now put phone into download mode and connect to usb, once phone connected to odin click start.
If still in bootloop try a second flash with same rom. This time don't check repartition and don't select the pit file. Select only phone, pda & csc.
If the stock rom you download only has one file put pit512 in pit and then file into pda although i think it is preferable to have the three file stock rom if possible.
Alternatively search for darkyrom resurrection in google and follow tutorial and downloads from the resurrection thread. That way the download has everything you need and darkyrom is a great custom stock rom

Jw5 rom from samfirmware is the latest.extract on your PC.password is samfirmware.com
Odin is very sensitive.so follow these steps
1. close kies
2.open odin
3.set files in Odin
4.turn phone off.remove battery,put it back in,use 3 button combo to get into download mode and connect phone to your PC.
5.wait for the Odin to recognize your phone(3-5 sec) and flash
6.don't remove phone until it is fully rebooted.this can up to 10 min.
And Done
Remember always to flash with full battery(100%)

never mind about the Dalvik; don't listen to me, i wasn't thinking straight when i posted.
Listen to zodiaxe66 and scubadude.
Sammobile is free you just need to register but it is free

Well sammobile can be a pain. Try googleing stock Roms for I9000 and find different downloads. Find a rom with sbl at the end of it. And put the files in there spots in Odin. You can put the pit and repartition if you want but its not a must. Good luck

Good morning all.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000, the one day was ok and the other day was stucked in the start "Samsung Galaxy S blah blah"
When I get into recovery mode (it has the 3e android recovery) I go to wipe data/ format data, press yes, and it freezes there. Nothing more.
I tried to load the original stock firmware with Odin from the samfirmwares.com and when it reboots, it freezes on "copying media files".
Please post your ideas in a private message, or reply in the post.
Sorry for my bad english.
P.S: Wipe cache partition is being done successfully.
I dont exactly know what happened there but try get a full 3 package file for odin and also get a pit file and do a repartition. It may help you
If you can still access download mode then your phone isn't hard bricked.

@acid-fury! Which files did you flash via Odin? 1 file or 3 file method ? Also did you try Heimdall as well?
So i wanted to root my Galaxy S6 and found a tutorial.
My smartphone was 6.0.1 and the modellnumber was GM-G920F
I installed the SpaceX-Kernel_MM_RC2.1_G920F kernel on "Ap" in Odin,
after that the TWRP 3.0 also on "Ap" in odin.
I started it and the root was sucessfull but after i restarted i was stuck in bootloop.
Read somewhere online that i should wipe all data so it could recover to stock version ( i know i where stupid on that moment but i panicked), and i did it.
The only thing that was left on my handy is twrp, the normal down+home buttin odin mode doesn't work anymore.
Only option was to reboot into download mode in TWRP. I downloaded the 1,8 Gba stock md5 version for Galaxy S6 and tried to install it with odin. Sadly it stops every time after "hidden image" it fails.
I hope someone can help me.
(sry for bad english, isn't my native languange)
Use Odin 3.0.9 or 3.10
Here's the deal extraxt the firnware file into the same folder odin is in and also rename the firmware file u downloaded just delete the .MD5 at the end So it should only show .tar at the end insert that in Odin under pda
Let me know

I gave my S6 to a familymember who has a lot of experience with flashing smartphones
and will wait until he tells me if it was done.
Sounds like something,
i will definitly try that out after i got it back.
Anyway i'll replying in this thread if it was fixed or i tried out ur option.
Thx
