Samsung Galaxy S5 plus G901F - PIT files

Since more and more people have this device and since the stock ROMs are mobile carrier and country dependent, in order to flash these ROMs you need the proper PIT file to do that.
It would be helpful if those that have this device could contribute, extract and attach the PIT files, indicating the G901F product code, PDA, CSC & modem details.
How to extract PIT from your device​You must have the following installed:
SuperSU
Busybox
Terminal emulator
From terminal emulator​
Code:
su
Grant permission to run as root and then run this command
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176
The file will be located in the internal sdcard (memory), with the name out.pit. Copy the file to your computer and attach it here as a zip.
From adb shell​You must have Android SDK installed, "USB debugging" enabled from "developer options". Now connect your phone to computer, open a cmd window and go the location where SDK is located. Then run the following commands, one at a time:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
su
Grant permission to run as root and then run this command
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176
The file will be located in the internal sdcard (memory), with the name out.pit. Copy the file to your computer and attach it here as a zip.
I was able to use the PIT from Vodafone Germany to flash the ROM for Vodafone for other countries. As you already know, try it at your own risk

I guess you can give it a try with the ORL or VD2 PIT files

I'm failing to root my S5
I am also using the UK version on EE, unfortunately the PIT file provided by Phoenix09 didn't work for me. Here's some details...
Model number: SM-G901F
Android version: 4.4.4
Baseband version: G901FXXU1ANK1
Kernel version: 3.10.0-2413392
Build number: KTU84P-G901FXXU1ANK3
I'm using JOdin for Mac (JOdin3CASUAL-r1141-dist.jar)
CF Auto Root (CF-Auto-Root-kccat6-kccat6xx-smg901f.tar.md5)
And the PIT from this thread (G901F_pit_G901FXXU1ANK3_EVR.pit)
JOdin is unable to retrieve the PIT file from my phone, It gives me errors and states that it can't reboot the device. Even after providing it with a PIT file it still gets stuck and can't go any further, thus no root. Do I have the correct PIT file for my phone or is an issue with Knox being enabled?
Thanks.

Hello, i was wondering if it is possible with the wrong combination of pit file and rom to cause battery drain?
Initially the phone had 4.4.4 and after I tried upgrading to 5.0.2, obviously it failed so I had to change the pit file.
I observed battery drain after several cycles, came back to 4.4.4, the battery problem is still there.
Performed reset from phone, from recovery menu, the phone enters deep sleep but with screen on it has a very rapid and abrupt descend.

have you tried kies3 emergency recovery? it wipes all and flashes stock (branded). then you can flash back anything you want.

Hi All,
Has anyone a dutch T-mobile PIT-file for me for the G901F?

i have also battery drain problem im trying to fix it for two weeks now..... i downgraded to 4.4.4 but it was crap compared to beautiful 5.0.2 so i flashed back to LP and then it started... after one night -30% ... battery curve is straight down on chart but it is ure stock with knox 0x0
i tried to flash different roms even latest BOE1 but problem remains... i cant go to sleep when i have ~30% because i won get up when my fone dies over night... before that i had -3% over night!
i noticed that phon wont go into deep sleep as much as it should, 300Mhz has highest use... but all applications that can check app battery use shows Android System .... which tells me nothing as it could be anything :/
help me please... i love this phone but with this battery drain issue im willing to sell it and buy LG G4...

[U/U1][02/2021][FUA1]Note 9 Official Firmware and Guide to Convert to USA Unlocked

[Updated][ETH1]
If you only want the firmware and know what you're doing, then links will be at bottom.
If possible, Use the original charging cable that came with your phone, as sometimes there can be errors if you use an aftermarket cable.
If you don't know how to flash or convert from U to U1, read on.
As a precaution, I recommend removing your SIM card and SD card before flashing!
THIS WILL RESET YOUR PHONE!
Firstly, Download the modified Odin below as well as the firmware.
Step 1. Ensure that you have the Samsung drivers for mobile devices installed (which will also be linked below.)
Step 2.Extract the Firmware Zip that you downloaded, Open the modified Odin and click on the BL box, Then select the corresponding BL file.
Click the AP box and select the AP file, Do the same with the CP and CSC files by putting the matching file name into the corresponding boxes.
Step 3.Ensure USB Debugging is enabled and then shut down the phone. Then hold (In this order) Volume Down, Bixby, and Power button until you get to the Download mode warning screen.
Press the Volume Up button.
Step 4. Plug in the phone, and check Odin to ensure you see a blue box that says COM (also has a number at the end)
Step 5.Press Start in Odin and wait till you see pass, if it says PASS, The flash was successful and within about 10 minutes your phone will boot into the welcome screen.
If you are converting from the U firmware to the U1 firmware then you will have no carrier bloatware should have better performance and possibly better battery life as well.

Firstly I was on "U1..ARL1" then passed to "U CSAA" ( different than U1) and now I'm running latest N960USQS1CSD1 but my phone is bit laggy and still got the lags/stutters from lock screen when I slide quick menu and animations....Now I want to try itself U1 firmware and I hope all laggy and stutter will gone!
Do I need to roll back to ARL1 then flash CSD1 or I can do that directly?
Thanks

Thanks it worked for me

Flashed without problem but still got the lag when change the wallpaper :crying: If its infinity wallpaper there is no lag, but if I change the laggs/stutter starts.....What I supposed to do? Anyone? Also there is a lag on animations....
I flashed too many times and different firmwares and no luck...

in step 2 you say "Open the modified Odin and click on the BL box, Then select the corresponding BL file.
Click the AP box and select the AP file, Do the same with the CP and CSC files by putting the matching file name into the corresponding boxes."
Yet you only provided the ROM file. Where does the ROM file go and are there other files to flash that go in the CSC, CP BL and AP boxes?

Did you extract the zip? All of the files should be inside the zip.
I'll redownload them to check and make sure.

jd14771 said:
i have not finished downloading the rom file, i did not know the files were zipped inside, i think it would help if you mentioned this as i was ust going to flash the file whole as i downloaded it.
they are most likley there, i did not know to unzip the archive. So this will work on a locked us variant?
Click to expand...

Yes it will work on any USA Note 9.
Thank you for bringing that to attention, I will update the thread, I apologize for the confusion.

I'm glad everything worked out okay! I'm at work right now so i apologize for the delayed replies.

Do you have lags/stutters on this firmware? (Especially on lock screen with none infinity wallpaper
when swiping down quick panel?)

Thanks converted AT&T to unlocked and everything is perfect

Will flashing u1 remove a carrier sim lock?

Call recording is only available on certain international firmware. It's a CSC feature that isn't available on the U.S. firmware. If you have root you can add the call recording feature to your CSC and that will be the only way to get call recording unless you find the specific international firmware that has it enabled but that firmware may not be best suited for your carrier/region. Also, enabling call recording will replace the call waiting & "add call" button which will make 3-way calls and ability to answer call waiting a problem. For this reason I always chose to not enable call recording. However, with root you can change csc anytime you need call recording and revert when you no longer need it. If I remember correctly, you also have to do a factory reset when adding the call recording in CSC because the csc/settings database is created on first boot only and adding this line in CSC after the phone has already booted and created it's CSC database will not enable call recording. It must be done on a fresh boot after a wipe/restore. I wanted to give you a heads up based on my experience so you know what to expect. Root is going to be mandatory unless you find the international firmware (rare) that has call recording enabled from Samsung.

Hi,
Here is my note 9 info (8.1.) from AT&T carrier, but I am not living in US.
- Model: SM-N960U
- Firmware: PDA version: N960USQU1ARH2 / CSC version: N960UOYN1ARH2
- Actice CSC code: XAA
- Service Provider:

XAA/XAA/ATT
So can I use the firmware N960U1UES1CSD1 which is uploaded in this thread to flash my phone into 960U1 ?
Or should I use the firmware N960U1UES1CSD1 which is specified for XAA ?

As far as i know u can flash any firmware related to N960U, N960U1 and even N960W.
for specific carriers after flash u will have their bloatwares .

Will a N960U converted this way take OTA updates in the same way that a phone that started out as a N960U1 would?

Is there a way I can make this work on a Linux based OS?

Is this XAA region??

Note 9 SM-N960F/DS Firmware problem.

I have a Note 9 SM-N960F/DS model. I bought it from KSA (Saudi Arabia). The phone came with Android Pie (9) out of the box.
Unfortunately my friend rooted my phone and now i am running on "N960FXXU3CSFA/N960FOXM3CSFA/N960FXXU3ASF1" version with "Security patch level: 1 June 2019". I am unable to use my Samsung account and all the security features (finger print, Ratina scanner, Face recognition etc).
When i switch back to original firmware i.e
PDA N960FXXU3CSG1
CSC N960FOXM3CSG1
i got all the features functioning but my SIM card shows "Emergency calls only".
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, My friend took my phone and told me that he will make it compliant with our local network and make it approved from the Telecommunication authority.
He has downgraded the phone with older firmware version i.e N960FXXU3CSFA/N960FOXM3CSFA,N960FXXU3ASF1. The security patch level is 1 June 2019
I have checked the Knox e-fuse which is not tripped which means its an official ROM and not altered.
Now, i have the latest firmware version downloaded i.e N960FXXS3CSG1 but when i try to install it in my phone it does not recognize my SIM card and phone is in "Emergency calls Only" state.

not sure how you check knox but if he really rooted then its too late and knox cannot state cant be reverted.
typically checking via software is not a good method . going to download mode and checking warranty state 0x0 means is not tripped. anything different means it been tripped/blown.
anyways that dosen't make you phone have no signal though.
i suspect he screwed up the twrp recovery flash procedure for twrp and botched the flash back to stock via odin.
read up on odin and how to use it. get latest version.(search and read)
read up so on how to get latest firmware for your phone and which csc your carrier is so that you can download the correct firmware and have best results for your sim carrier.( in doubt try BTU csc firmware)(but search and read about the subject of phone types firmwares and CSC)
also the firmwares your quoted seem old. not sure why you ended up using it but you should get one that is from july.
E.G.:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/SM-N960F/BTU/
(get the most recent! july 25th)( u can dl odin from there too)
on your PC, install samsung android drivers or simply install samsung smart switch. it will install the necessary components.
in it self smart switch can flash firmware automatically for your device. so you might want to try it first.
if you go towards the odin flash route and found the correct firmware or want to try BTU multi csc as suggested above:
put phone in download mode and unzip on PC firmware and flash with odin BL,AP,CP and CSC. But for csc choose csc.md5 instead of home_csc.md5
(be patient while AP is being checked before adding cp and csc)
edit: details steps on odin flashing procedure below
henklbr said:
1. Extract (un-rar) the firmware file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin) ***
2. Download Odin v3.13.1
3. Extract Odin ZIP file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin)
4. Open Odin v3.13.1
5. Power OFF Note9
6. Reboot Phone in Download Mode (1st plug-in USB-cable to your Note9!!!, push Bixby + Volume Down buttons, while pushing them plug-in USB-cable to PC
7. Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
8. Add the firmware files to their designated slots
9. Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
10. Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

last but not least don't listen to your friend or let him close to your phone again. reading and searching on xda is much better. everything has been already asked. you just need to search for it.

I haven't try SmartSwitch for N9 but worth to try as it should be able to detect proper csc for your phone.
Else find the latest firmware for your phone with Frija/Samfirm then flash with odin.

well may be your friend tried to change IMEI of phone which is illegal in any country. Match your IMEI with box by dialing *#06#, if IMEI are same then no need to worry. you need to register your phone IMEI with PTA by paying tax. after paying tax they will whitelist the IMEI of your phone and you will be able to make calls.
just for information, my note 9 is also brought from Saudi Arabia, but at that time one device was free, so i got my phone registered by providing my travel details to PTA and they whitelisted my phone.

Please guide me solution.

+1 using cho firmware

guys just use samfirm tool 0.3.6 on your PC to check for the update. no need to ask or post if its out or not:
enter as device model:
SM-960N
And Region: dosent really matter but u can choose the carrier that the device is from:
LUC
KOO input this one if unsure
SKC
KTC
or choose the one with the latest fimrware/date code
(but rightnow only May is available)
check regularly as the app seems to connect to samsung servers so it will be the first place for the firmware to pop up.( and download speeds are fast. way faster than sammobile free or other crapy sites.)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...g-firmware-t2988647/post57842725#post57842725
to dl the tool on the post link above , skip the part where it says depreciated and dl it from attached OP post. read up though on the windows ( MS redist) dependencies to run it.
downloaded firmware is flashable once extracted using odin 3.13.3 from here:
https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.13.3.zip
this required to see phone com port with odin
samsung usb drivers:
https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/M...ver-for-Mobile-Phones-1-5-65-0.shtml#download
put phone into download mode:
(make sure your device is off before doing anything.) hold the following button combo: VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY and plug usb cable from PC to phone then release button when you see DL mode and press vol up to accept to enter it.
in odin:
to not reset/wipe data fill in all slots with unziped md5's from file downloaded with samfirm: BL, AP, CP AND CSC (use ONLY these 4 corresponding files*)
(* For csc: home_csc.md5 is to not loose data and regular *csc.md5 will wipe clean.) (userdat.md5 is korean bloat, skip it not needed if you are not on korean sim carrier)
if you are on a custom rom(rooted device) and just want to update bootlaoder and modem to latest, then flash only ;
BL.md5 and CP.md5 in the according slots.
flashing official firmware and components like this dosent trip knox or voids warranty so its all safe.
edited for links to the tools needed and some clarifications.

with root its easy. but without i dont know.
try to install the KOO firmware. i believe it is the "unbranded" firmware for korean n960n devices.
be careful of personal data if you try. using the method described above to flash with odin.( the part when using csc.md5 file because i might wipe data from phone. but it might also remove bootlogo and more bloatware apps from korea)

I tried flash trwp crownite and failed at flashing via odin, i think is not working for now (pie)
This is my buildnumber N960NKSU2CSE3 this for baseband N960NKOU2CSD2 if i download KOO firmware
which one should I choose? Buildnumber or base band?
Btw i got firmware KOO but unziped file i get 6 fil, AP, BL, CP, CSC, HOME CSC, and USER Data how i must input User Data File to?

I'm in Korea too, using an unbranded KOO N960N (exynos). It seems like the update is unavailable in this region. I left a question on the Samsung Members forum, and it seems like they're saying the night sight camera mode had some pretty large bugs, so they have to fix that. Also, the night sight camera update was just released for the S9 series, so hopefully it shouldn't be long before we can get it for the Note 9.
[edit]
Also, checking the latest firmware for N960N in SAMFIRM results in the same firmware, an outdated May 2019 version withOUT night sight camera. Looks like we will have to await the official release ...
This sucks because my Mate 20 Pro takes absolutely stunning pics at night.

all required information was posted in my big post. please read it and follow it correctly to get your answers.
moreover you might need to install samsung android drivers. you can search for them on xda or you can install samsung smart switch. it has the drivers built in. the software is useless it is only being installed for the driver package.

well its the one i posted 6 or 7 messages ago...

just got the update with night mode and july security - n960n.

I am also a N960N user, cheers！

No carrier logo on KOO, but the phones are more expensive. No bloatware whatsoever.
BTW, we just got night mode a day or two ago.
The night mode is still 2 or 3 generations technologywise behind the Mate 20 Pro, Im gonna have to sell my device so if anyone in KR wants to buy it, leave me a PM.
Its in pristine condition with 6 cases

u have to flash a minimum of BL AP CP CSC
there will always be some carrier bloat leftover. the only way is to root and install a custom rom to get rid of everything.

[Guide][SM-T555] UNBRICK Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 [SM-T555] [SM-T550]

Hey,
I successfully unbricked my device.
If it fail you are flashing wrong FIRMWAR. HAPPENED TO ME FEW TIMES.

Follow this, it's very safe since you are flashing Stock Rom.
In order to get your CSC regional code you need to contact Samsung. This is really boring since you will have to deal with multiple agents from customer support.
I first contacted Samsung US via Live Chat under support... and they didn't provide any details about product Region at first. So I contacted them few times until they helped me.
YES SPAM THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN.
DONT EVEN SAY YOU ARE NOT FROM US AND DONT MENTION HARD BRICK OR ANYTHING.
So, according to them, my device is for Germanic region (I already knew this, I had some HSH Hotel bloatware).
I contacted German support via live chat and my device is from Austria.
VOILA.
Now that I know which region it is I need to check CSC Region Codes and I made a list.
I searched for them online until I matched codes on the left and Telecoms (carriers) on the right.
Austria (csc codes are on the left and Telecoms on the right):
CSC Regional Codes = Telecoms
AOM = AUSTRIA - unknown /generic probably
MOK = AUSTRIA - unknown /generic probably
TTR = Austria - magenta (former telering/t.mobile)
TRG = AUSTRIA - TELERING
MAX = AUSTRIA - t-mobile
DRE = AUSTRIA - Drei 3 (former Orange)
ONE = AUSTRIA - Orange
MOB = AUSTRIA - a1
ATO = AUSTRIA - Open Austria - directly from Samsung
So, I contacted Drei 3 and A1, I spam them a lot and eventually both agents answered my device is not on their list.
Since my device was SIM UNLOCKED I decided to flash ATO since it's Open and directly from Samsung AUSTRIA.
FIRMWARE
Caution, I didn't like 7.1.1 since I want Root.
So I flashed 5.1.1.
YES I HAD 7.1.1 BEFORE BRICK BUT I FLASHED BOTH 7.1.1 and then I flashed 5.0 for testing purpose. You can chose 1 of them and both are safe.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So now that I know which CSC Firmware I want to flash I have to download it. Yes, Firmware is same terminology for Stock ROM.
I downloaded mine from GALAXYFIRMWARE .COM
You could download older firmware if you want, I flashed both for TESTING
I had firmware 7.1.1 and that one I downloaded.
7.1.1 ATO
Then I downloaded 5.0.2 ATO
Choose which one you need.
Then Extract zip in 1 folder.
ODIN
Download unpatched
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...
forum.xda-developers.com
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I leaved CHECKED AutoReboot and F.Reset
FLASHING
FOR 7.1.1
Now, every file from extracted zip make sure it matches Odin box:
BL file is going into BL slot
AP file is going into AP slot
CP file is going into CP slot
CSC file is going into CSC slot
For 5.0
There will be only 1 extracted file.
It goes into AP slot
Now make sure your Tab is turned off.
If not, remove back cover and unplug battery and plug it back again.
Download mode:
Press Home + Power + Volume Down
(at the same time)
When prompted blue window, press Volume UP
Now connect it to Odin and wait 2minutes to connect.
Start flashing.
If it fail you are flashing wrong FIRMWAR. HAPPENED TO ME FEW TIMES.
PIT FILE
USE This if ABOVE FAILE.
I did not test this.
Okay for some reason you are really in bad position and you really want to flash PIT.
Well you can extract Pit from 7.1.1 CSC.
Copy CSC file to Desktop and rename it to .zip extension:
It will look something like this:
CSC_ATO_T555ATO1CRH1_CL14058996_QB19181858_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now extract it and look for Pit extension file.
Its something like:
GT510LTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOW make sure in ODIN Re-Partition is CHECKED.
Now that you have it and you are flashing with PIT.
IN ODIN THERE IS PIT OPTION CLICK ON IT.
IN PIT SLOT PUT PIT.
IN OTHER SLOTS PUT OTHER FILES FROM EXTRACTED ZIP.

Btw if you know how to root this device Android 5 or 6.
Let me know.
