[Q] PIT files to repartition? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note

I would like to repartition my internal sd card so that I have much more space for apps (games in particular) as I have upgraded to a Note 3 and wish to use my t879 primarily as a gaming device.
There are instructions on repartitioning through ADB and parted, but whenever I try to use parted to give me a partition table I get
"Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition." I have searched google for about 10 hours and through every related xda post, only to find no solution to this error whatsoever.
I found on the N7000 forums that a user created modified PIT files to repartition through ODIN.
That sounds like a great work around to my problem with parted. Does anyone know how to get PIT files for the T879 and modify them in the same way?

strange question: from me anyway

I am not used to samsung with being mainly HTC influenced, but.... How do I put this galaxy S back to exactly the way it came, its got 2e recovery and I have flashed everything thats available on the forum. The problem I have now is no roms I install will let me use the market, In the logcat when i try and install something its getting an error saying
Code:

re flash pit 512 with GT-I9000_I9000XWJM8_I9000XXJM4_CODE-MODEM with repartition ticked, unsuccessful download in market
any ideas before i buy a nexus? lol cheers
I am having the same issue, multiple ROMs. this is following doing a JIG ODIN recovery and flashing a few roms. Also, when in CWR I can't mount sd-ext. SD card seems to be okay, no warnings about corruption or anything like that, can browse and load files to it. I'm wondering if I have partitioned something incorrectly or if I need to flash a .pit in ODIN?

does it show E:INFO WRONGError mounting SDEXT:! when trying to mount in cwm?
Yes that's exactly what it says. I can't format sd-ext either, gives E: INFO is WRONGError mounting /sd-ext/!
EDIT: Resolved the issue by flashing my stock firmware (Bell i9000M I9000UGJH2), 512 pit, odin 1.3, re-partition. Will be staying at stock for the time being due concerns about the SD card and the need for me to remove my ghetto download mode JIG from my living room. Oh, and ocean waves LWP is the bomb, would kill for it on FROYO.

Emmc (movinand) hard reset???

Is there a way to reset the emmc through hardware or any other way?i had it damaged when I tried to flash back from cyanogenmod7 to samsung froyo, and now my i896 is practically unusable. Any help will be appreciated

We have a OneNAND and an SDCard.. no eMMC on this device.
Use a Heimdall One-Click and it should get you where you want to be.
Emmc is just your external SD card. Just format it.
Sent from my I897 using XDA App
Thank you for the useful information. Heimdall one click doesn't works with it because since the internal storage (or memory) its damaged it can't access to flash. It doesn't matter which software I use it always shows the same error: e can't mount mmcblk0p1

You can unzip the Heimdall One-Click, grab the Tar.GZ file out of it, load that into Heimdall, remove the "Data" partition from in heimdall, then flash and make your own one-click.
Are you sure you're using Heimdall? that error does not make sense for heimdall. If you are using a Heimdall One-Click, use the KB2 version I released. that is a known good flash.
Just for clarification, contrary to what it sounds like, eMMC partition is a INTERNAL mmc card located on newer devices. Captivate uses "SDCard" and "External SD" or "MMC", but not eMMC.
Don't get it. Is there any threat where I can learn these procedure? I've been trying all day to compress the files to a tar.gz using ubuntu but heimdall rejects it because is not the proper size

Tried the KB2 with no luck. It seems like it can not write in the internal storage. Is there a way to reset this storage through hardware or any other way to reconfigure.it?

i9000 Bootloop/Internal SD Corruption/Semi-Brick

I have an international i9000 that seems to be pretty solidly soft-bricked. I've recently moved back to Canada from the Middle East and was trying to enable to 850 band so I could use it with Bell. I was under the impression that the Bell SGS and the international SGS were basically the same hardware so I flashed (ODIN) a PDA/PHONE/CSC designed for the i9000m. At the time I was on the teamhacksung ICS.
Now, regardless of what I do I always end up in basically the same spot. After my most recent flash through Heimdall, following the first reboot I end up in 3e recovery with the following errors...
---------
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Data wipe failed
---------
I've been at this for 2 days and tried pretty much everything. Flashed through Odin and Heimdall as well as from recovery off an external SD. I tried 1-click de-brick. I tried to re-partition through ADB. I get various messages in ADB depending on what I'm doing. Sometimes it's I/O errors and sometimes it says "unrecognized disk label".
I can get to recovery and download so it seems like it should be solvable. My impression is that the partition table or structure on the internal SD card has been corrupted.
Sorry if there is already a thread for this with a simple answer, I've been through a ton and couldn't find anything that worked for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not an expert in shell but I can follow instructions. Happy to try anything at this point.
Thanks
Exactly the same issue here, so I'll just wait for a solution here.
I think I saw this problems before. Have u backed up all your data? If yes then do this 3 ways below. If you haven't backed up yet, try to do Nandroid backup from recovery mode and restore it later.
Now try this:
1. On recovery mode: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, in advance-wipe Dalvik cache.
2. Remove your external sd card ( put it back later if everything's fine ).
3: Set the USB debugging ON, settings-applications-development.
Hope this helps. If it does, please consider 'THANKS' button
At this point it doesn't boot into Android. It was looping for a while but now the boot animation will start, then the screen will go black and the back/options LEDs at the bottom come on. Anything on the phone is long gone after multiple wipes/flashes/etc. I'm not worried about that.
I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the partition on the internal SD. Does anyone know how to reset/repair the partition table and rebuild the partitions from ADB? Why doesn't that happen automatically when I flash from Odin/Heimdall? Isn't that the point of the "partition" toggle?
Or, could I try to convert the file system as if I were moving from a stock ROM to something like CM7 (ie...RFS to EXT4)? Would that recreate the partitions and fix this?
Thanks
Have you tried to flash a stock samsung firmware for your phone (i9000) and re partition using a 512 pit file via Odin? Have a read of the following thread below to get the latest Stock firmware for (i9000).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Yep, I've tried several of these across froyo/gingerbread and always end up with an unmountable internal SD card. Just for fun I went and picked another one basically at random (JV6 2.3.3) and it flashed as normal and dumped me at recovery with the mounting sd card/storage not prepared error.
Are there really no takers on this? I keep reading that these are un-brickable if they still start up.
This might be worth a try, failing that you might have to take the phone to a Samsung repair agent.

I've the same problem and I've tried everything. Not I'm sure that the internal memory is broken, so I want to use the external sd as internal memory. I'm following your manual but I can't get it to work. I tell you what I've done:
1) I've formated the external sdcard with two partitions: one of 6 GB in vfat format and the other of 8GB in reiserfs. It seems to be ok.
2) I've tried to flash with odin the JVU 2.3.6 version. Here I've some questions: Shall I check re-partition? And apply the PIT file? I've tried all combinations but I still doesn't use the external memory and I get the mmcblk0p2 error...
Any help?
Here I have posted how I have solved my problem of corrupt internal memory. Look at it and I hope someone will help.
This guide install rom to SD Card, but still have question, how to repair internal memory? i`l boot`ed rom from SD Card, but cant see internal memory, use camera, etc. who need internal memory...
Maybe are any app to fix internal memory, when android boot`ed?
In most cases I have met (including Galaxy Tab P1000 and GT-i9003) with internal memory failure or corrupted memory, the only solution is to replace the chip. If you've booted your terminal and can not use the camera or see the internal storage, you have to modify the file vold.fstab according to your android version.

Already tried to flash back a stock rom?
You could try to flash a Stock ROM. First, make sure you have installed all Samsung Galaxy S i9000 drivers on your computer, download Odin, CF-Root Kernel for Odin, PIT file and the stock rom files under .md5 ( CSC, PDA, PHONE) , after that enter in Odin, prepare the files there...( P.S: you can re-partition there ) , enter in Download Mode using the 3 button combination Home + Vol.Down + Power , Odin will detect your phone , click Start and wait.
You can find all files under "GB Flash KIT"
I had a similar problem and this method, solved it.
Hope it helps.
I have already tried this many times over .Also tried the recovery kit.The problem is installing is not possible because of a corrupt internal memory and hence I want help with installing a rom, from the external sd.
[B]It seems this guide sorts the problem out but could some smart guy please explain in detail or could he just do it i.e do the necessary changes to the rom and upload the link as i am sure many people like me are stuck.
I bypassed dead internal memory on a GT-I9000M.
Symptoms:
- Your GT-I9000M is not booting or bootlooping no matter what firmware you are flashing it with.
- In recovery, you are seeing I/O errors on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
- Trying to repartition and format the internal storage with fdisk or parted and mkfs.whatever fails.
To recover:
- Partition and format your 16GB+ external microSD with at least two primary partitions, vfat on the first one and rfs (or whatever fs is supported by your firmware) on the second one.
- Acquire a stock ROM, in my case I used JL2
- untar the PDA portion of your ROM of choice (you want zImage and factoryfs.rfs)
- Extract initramfs from zImage ( https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs )
- grep for /dev/block/mmcblk, there should be 4 .rc files containing references to it as well as within the binary file /init.
- use a text editor to replace all occurances of "mmcblk0" with "mmcblk1" (and vice-versa if you feel so inclined) in the .rc files.
- use a hex editor to replace "mmcblk0" with "mmcblk1" in /init.
- create cpio archive of your modified initramfs with `find . | cpio -H newc -o > ../initramfs.img`
- repack kernel and initramfs ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789712 ), you should have a new_zImage now.
- Mount the factoryfs.rfs as a loop `mount -o loop,rw -t vfat factoryfs.rfs /mnt/loop`
- Modify vold.fstab - this topic is well covered elsewhere (swap sdcard and sdcard1, swap mount points), then umount your loop
- Flash factoryfs.rfs and zImage using your favorite method.
That's it! Your phone will now boot and complain forevermore that the external memory is corrupt. ToDo: use third partition on external microSD as external_sd...

Hi,
I am a Noobie. I have read various threads and came across this thread. I have a dead internal storage. I followed the first few lines, got the custom rom and untared the PDA portion. I have a few questions, from the 3rd line of the above post:
- Extract initramfs from zImage ( https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs ) [[I created a GITHUB account. How do I proceed with extracting the initramfs from the zimage on my computer. Please explain the steps, bit confused.]
grep for /dev/block/mmcblk, there should be 4 .rc files containing references to it as well as within the binary file /init.[[what is grep? Are these files in the zimage?
- Please explain cpio archive, mount factoryfs.rfs as a loop and also how to modify vold.fstab.
Please explain the steps in detail as the steps are very confusing. I will really appreciate your help

Basically I can't connect my phone to my laptop due to faulty usb connector and earlier I did a factory reset on my phone (Samsung Galaxy SII / S2) but after my phone rebooted, it only came up with the notification bar and a black screen along with the message "Application Installer is not working" so after searching around, apparently my firmware has f***ed up. Now I'm trying to flash the firmware - original or any, I don't mind - via the external SD but can't find an article that's clear so can anyone help?

To solve USB problems try this , since your device is S2, (this is S1 forum) visit S2 forum for better S2 guides ( search under device for your device forum)
To Flash a ROM, you can do it with Odin3 from PC, or on CWM recovery or with Mobile Odin, direct from Phone ( only to get the idea , look here ) but go here for S2 ROM's
If you still want to know how to flash with a broken Sd card check out the guides here

I am more than 100% sure that one of them will
bring smile on your face.
(I think that you are familiar with SD card
partitioning, even the instructions are given on
the site)
If not familiar with partitioning then read below:
The easiest method is to partition the card using
recovery as most of the recoveries ( except
stock recovery) provide an option to partition.
You have to Google search for partitioning using
windows/Ubuntu as I don't have PC right now to
help you. I did by making bootable Ubuntu on my
pendrive. Then I booted in Ubuntu Linux and
made partition by its default program. There is a
video on YouTube which shows how to partition
on Linux.
make sure you are using at least class 8 or 10
SD card with at least 8 GB card. I always failed
with class 4 card.
In my opinion, a 2gb of ext4/rfs + 6/14gb
(depending on if you have 8gb or 16 GB card) of
fat32 partition is perfect for running OS on
sdcard.
In my post

I will add a little OT question (I'm new of forum can't write a pm for that, sorry!): could you be able to mod i9105P (Samsung Galaxy S2 plus) pit files? This phone have always low space for app and it isn't really supported by community (probably because of low numbers). I could be able to extract pit files if you can mod them!

Combine Device-Memory and USB-Storage
Hey,
wouldn't it be nice to change the partition-layout of the Note N7000 to something like the layout on the S3, so I don't need to use an external SD for my Pics, etc. or change the size of the Device-memory every time I've installed to many apps. So i would suggest to combine the former Device-Memory and USB-Storage to ONE big new Device-Storage which should be used like its used on the S3.
So the Storage-settings should only list the Device-memory and how it's used by the different types of Files/apps.
Is that even possible? or does it recommend some additional rom modding?

Hi @metalgearhathaway, I can (and I will) provide pit files, there is a correct way/software to extract them? I can't send you PM because I'm a new member, so please follow this Q&A 3D.
I found this thread about the phone (the 2 variants, i9105 and i9105p, last one just with NFC), with some pit files as attachment: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428753
Can they be useful (last update Nov 2013) or do you need fresh ones?
Same here: service firmware+pit files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243546
Thx for your effort
@Elwood1990: I think metalgearhathaway's mod pit files already do what you mean/need: just use 16Gb pit files, and you will have one big partition for appz and more.
But wouldn't the OS or some Apps still try to write save some appdata and stuff on the no longer existant USB-Storage especially the camera, and I'm not quite sure about that, but I think it's not possible to access the Device-Memory per UBS on Windows, so I couldn't put stuff on my phone that way anymore...
Well, it's def impossibile it happens. If you use the 8Gb pit file, 8Gb from all your 16Gb will be granted for apps, and about 5Gb for app data, photo, vids and more. And everything, even device-memory, still avaible trought USB. You just need to connect phone to PC, install USB drivers if WinUpdate don't do it by its own, and wait until N7000 appears as an external device. It will have 2 HD: external SD storage (your SD, if you got it) and device's memory (it will be about 5Gb). BTW with a Linux file browser or with a root allowed app (like ES File Manager with Root option turned on ON, or Root Explorer), you can see every byte of your phone.

No you can't, it's like formatting your windows pc without reinstalling the OS after all. The tar.md5 files is Samsung stock firmware, you can't avoid to flash it with partitions files.

Thank u a lot....
Hey, just follow OP guidelines: shut down your note, restart it in download mode (power key+home key+ volume down key), start Odin on your pc, connect N7000 to pc (I hope you previously connected it once, so you get USB drivers installed), select 32gb pit file from @metalgearhathaway and select your samsung stock rom (get it, the latest for your country/model from samfirmware). Flash and it's done.
@metalgearhathaway: any news about my question? I can't PM you yet
Im currently on Dirty Unicorns 8.2 an thinking about getting a 6gb partition for my apps. Anyone here tried it coming from this rom and can give me some tips?
I just changed my data partition to 6gb. Thanks for this guide!!! I have one issue though. I couldnt flash back my Backup i made in TWRP and I also cant get Titanium Backup to restore any of the Backups I made. It just stay at 0%. I was able to install Apps from playstore and apk file from sd card. Is this issue known and mb someone can help me?
I am trying to re-partition my internal SD hard however the ODIN does not recognizes my device.
I tried with Odin 3 Ver.1.85 and Odin 3.09.
I am currently using in CarbonROM.
I have Kies installed in my PC. I even tried with installing latest Samsung Driver and three Different USB Cables.
When powered on the phone is recognized as MTP device but during Download mode I get "Device Not Recognized" error.
Please help.

I reflashed CM11 Nightly..and then tried and it worked..
Cant see internal storage
I installed PIT (4GB) along with CWM kernel (through ODIN PC) but when phone booted, I can not see internal storage Windows cant detect internal storage too.
I also installed older CWM (CWM 6.0.3.1 via recovery) but it can not format internal storage as well.. throwing emmc error.. Please help!!

as far as I know there is no Odin for Linux, you need a windows machine to run it

between, changing the partition size to 6gb is perfect if you want to use ART runtime and never run out of space
thanks for this
Thanks,I guess 6gb is enough for me..I will try it and see how it goes..
