[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> 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.

Flash process in Odin hangs

Hi everybody!
This is my first posting here, I hope it's in the right category. I've used the search function, found similar problems but no one facing the same issue. I wanted to upgrade to Android 2.3.3 (2.3.4) using Odin. I tried three different Firmware releases but none worked. This is what happens in Odin:

<ID:0/006> zImage
I tried with and without repartition. Sometimes the process stops at the SetupConnection line, sometimes at zImage when obviously the kernel should be installed. When in download mode, I see a blue progress bar starting to move across the phone screen, but soon later the whole display turns green/blue/white (it always had a different color) with no more text. Hours later Odin finally displays a FAIL message.
I tried firmware versions I9000XXJVQ and I9000XXJVR from samfirmware.com with 512 PIT file. I recognized some Kies-Thread running in the background on my Win7 machine, which I killed to prevent any problems.
In another forum I was told this issue might be related to some lagfixes installing ext4. When I read that it came to my mind that I indeed had installed the voodoo lagfix in February - I had completely forgotten about that. However, is there a chance to recover the phone? Putting it into DL mode is the only thing that works. Any help is appreciated!

Can you go in recovery mode to disable the lagfix? and when you use the 3 part file always check re-partition.

Had similar problems with Windows 7 x64, 2 in 3 flashes would fail.
Try another pc if possible with Xp.

Well, I tried, but I did not succeed - (Hold Vol up + Power on) but I'll try again. Is it absolutely necessary to remove the lagfix? As mentioned before someone told me that ext4 might be causing those problems. However, I though the sd was repartitioned (when checkbox is ticked) and the firmware is a kind of disk image which is installed and thus overwrites the existing file system?

it's vol up + home button + power on, but don't release the button untill your are in the menu.
A stock firmware is made for RFS partition not ext4, i think it's that the problem, but i may be wrong.

Thank you all so far! Well, it almost worked - at least kind of. I tried it a couple of times, rebooted the PC, rebooted the phone, reinstalled drivers, used another USB port. After a couple of retries it stopped at "factoryfs.rfs" - which obviously contains the file system. This makes me guess that it does not matter which FS currently is installed as it gets overwritten by this factoryfs-thing. Please correct me if I am wrong!
Still, any help on this topic is gladly appreciated!

when you flash pda in odin the file system is over-written and reverts to rfs.
Try without re-partition ticked. Also after several attempts your battery may have no juice left in it: pull the battery, let it sit a couplce of minutes and then plug it in and see if it will re-charge -- may not, you might be stuck at download and odin.
Flash an older 2.2 firmware first: pda. phone and csc, don't bother with the pit file and don't bother with re-partition -- this is just to get you back and working, you can then charge the battery and update to jvr after.
Also check the thread on unbricking the phone -- most issues with flashing are recoverable, its just persistence.

Well, I tried to flash with and without repartition/pit-file. The download process hangs at different stages. I doubt it has to do with the battery, as the phone has been attached to the PC for almost three days now, I guess the battery is charged then...?

To which of the thousands of unbricking threads do you refer? I read something about a tool which puts the phone into recovery mode, from where I can format the sd. However, I can't get to recovery mode by pressing vol up, home + power, i just can enter download mode. I have tried various firmwares, neither did work...
Thanks for your help so far, maybe you can give me another hint on the thread you're talking about?

Try rebooting the phone,rebooting the pc,use a different usb cable(this part made it work for me), and try again. Hope it helps man cause i've been down that road and it sucked bricked my sgs 2 times but thankfully revived it because heimdall one click un-brick oh and 1 more thing if you use 3 files check re partition

Mate, try a full 3 file flash and a pc with Win XP 32-bit and ODIN 1.83
Worked for me
Good luck flashing !!

Thank you all guys, it worked - even though it was none of the tips provided here. I have no clue what the problem was, I moved to another PC, it took me three tries to flash the phone.
- The second PC was Win7 64bit as well.
- I used the original cable (tried with another one as well, no difference)
- I used just the drivers without any Kies installation.
- I used a SINGLE FILE FLASH with Android 2.2.1 first (which I was then unable to boot as it stuck with the S symbol during boot)
- Flashed 2.3.4 afterwards - worked.
My phone has never ever been running so smoothly before, even with lag fixes!
Unfortunately, my external SD makes troubles, but let's see how to fix that.
My note to all of you guys facing similar problems:
Some say, use PIT and repartition, some say, don't
Just don't care - for me it finally worked without (single file flash). Try all possibilities.
Some say, install Kies, just because of the drivers, some say, install the drivers without Kies
Just don't care - try either option, it might work - for me the drivers without Kies finally worked but I have no clue if that had any impact.
Some say, use another USB cable, some say use the original one
Just don't care - try different cables if possible, in my case there was no difference.
Some say, use the USB port closest to your MB, others say, try various USB ports
Just don't care - try different ports, the behavior cannot be reproduced, each try the flashing process got stuck at another stage - independent of the USB port used.
Some say, try another computer with another OS
Good choice - that made it working in my case. Even though the other machine was nearly the same with exactly the same OS installed. Also, I have successfully flashed my phone with the first one before.
Thanks guys, you're the best! And give Android 2.3.4 a try, it's FAST and SMOOTH!

[Q] Problem with Odin

The Odin won't recognize my phone, (SGS I9000, if it wasn't obvious).
i've searched the site for threads that show the same problem but every time the respondents are talking about something called kies.
now, i don't have this thing on my computer, and from what i understand it's a program used to connect the phone to the computer through Wi-Fi, without a USB cable.
I, however, have no Wi-Fi in my room, therefore i'm using a USB cable. so, what do i need to do to make the Odin recognize my phone?

Kies. Go to Samsung site and download. It is for updating your phone with official firmware and backing up your data.
You need the drivers from kies for odin to work. Once you have Installed kies, shut it down and launch odin.

thank you very much!
just one more thing, i need to download a file called speedmod-kernel-k15h-t24-300hz.tar
the RAR has that name but the file inside is called Zimage.
Is that normal?

Yes, it is.
Odin will open up the tar to flash the files contained within. zImage is the standard kernel format.
Read up on flashing before you continue, though. As long as you're not flashing bootloaders, you're not in any real danger, but it could save you a lot of frustration nonetheless.
You can install the drivers seperate as well -> SAMSUNG USB Drivers for Mobile Phones

Ok, thank u very much!
i've got a new problem now. i started installing a stock rom with odin and it's stuck on the same situtation for hours now..
i wanted to show u a picture, but apperantly i can't do that. oh well..
i placed the files in the correct places(the PIT, PDA, PHONE & CSC files) and pressed start after the program recognized the phone, and it just stays like this...
after i pressed start and until now this is all that was written in the "massage" section:

i was going to flash the new 4.0.4 version of ics today so i went to use cwm on my hong kong 4.0.4 version ics to factory reset and it got stuck, so i pulled out the battery and when i turn it on its stuck at the samsung logo boot screen.
I try using odin to flash roms but they are all stuck at NAND WRITE.
i try using a pit file to repartition my samsung but its stuck at the connection part T.T
i had this similar problem before installing a custom kernel on a stock ics and i bricked my phone but i managed to fix it with a pit file and dr.ketan' s pre rooted gb rom then flashed a ics from there.
Now i cant even flash dr. ketan prerooted gb rom because its stuck at nand write please help T.T
NOW EVERY ROM I FLASH IS STUCK AT SETUP CONNECTION PART INCLUDING KERNELS EVERYTHING I CANT EVEN GO TO MY RECOVERY MENU T.T

i am not able to flash that kernel its stuck at setup connection

if it stucks, just unplug the USB cable, then plug it back in, and ODIN would readily detect that.
If not still use a different USB port to plug it to.

but sometimes it nand write stuck T.T

First find a steady USB signal in one of your USB ports.. Plug to that port (to clear the issue on stuck in setup connection), The problem in the stuck connection you have is that Odin can't find a strong usb signal to send to, to your phone. Try using a different usb port (not a usb hub if your using one), then follow the previous post on top -#2 link.
Worst case scenario on your issue would to be, to take your phone back to SSC and have them replace the mobo... Your phone just got hit by the brick bug bud

wait a minute..how did you install the kernel ? thru PC Odin? Where you able to boot your phone in download mode? (not the recovery mode).

i was on stock ics kernel hong kong version of the rom then i went flash cwm from stock recovery i tried factory reset on cwm and boom my phone broke.

can you post that link you were told to flash the kernel to? That link might be an outdated one already. Anyway the point now is how to revive your brick phone. In download mode, try to flash back to stock GB and again make sure your plug to one of the usb port on your PC and make sure 'Reset time' is tick in PC Odin. After you got the stock GB in place in the 'PDA' part, try to reflash the stock firmware again.

the thing is that it doesnt restart to recovery only samsung boot logo with a yellow triangle

Is your phone rooted before? You can't make any nandroid backup if your phone is rooted. Now given if your phone still has root on it. What was the last kernel that your phone was using?
Please bear in mind, you need to really understand the instructions presented on that link I gave you. If it helps that you need to read it from the start of that thread down to the very end, then do so. It's the only alternative way I can advice you to revive your brick phone.
Now the other second option though would be (like I've said earlier), to send it back to Samsung.
Those are your only two options....

i used pit for repartition now when i boot it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again but i cant seem to connect my phone with kies? it just say connecting.... stuck there..

You will most likely need a motherboard replacement... sorry

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>
<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])

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

https://zfirmware.com/download-samsung-galaxy-note-8-pit-file/

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.
