Just a quick question about the PIT file. im not to savy about what it exactly is, from what i can tell it is the system file and atm all the current EU firmwares use EXT4.PIT.
Does this mean i never have to update the PIT file as long as the firmware uses EXT4.PIT?
im going to update my s2 to I9100XEKE1 later and when i flash it in odin i also put in the PIT file what would it do?
thanks

Per the instructions in the thread, DO NOT TOUCH PIT FILE.
thank you for the responce pulser, i will leave the .PIT alone when i flash. Its like one of them things your told not to touch so you wanna touch it or at least learn more about it.
i'll just read more about it, but wont touch it. thanks again

A PIT file is just instructions explaining the partition layout. You must always use a PIT file matching the current partition layout (i.e. the orignal PIT file used to partition the device) unless you are repartitioning. If you are repartitioning then every you must re-download everything (PDA, CSC, MODEM, etc.). You also need to ensure the PIT file is compatible with what you are downloading. Some PIT files might use partitions too small, for example, for the firmware you are downloading.
Yep. Pit is just a layout of the drive, nothing more or less. If you reflash the same pit, you've done nothing. Its a partition which comes after the PBL and helps it locate a bootable SBL.
Question please regard PIT
Hope this is not too much of a thread drift but may relate potentially to the PIT file.
I think I may have unwittingly changed the PIT file when using ODIN.
I definitely placed a PIT file in the PIT window.....doh
Would this cause my WiFi to not work? I have tried a number of ROMs and they all work fine apart from the WiFi, which is always off and then shows error when you click to switch it on.
If this is the case that the PIT file has corrupted this, how should I go back and correct it?
Cheers
Does anyone have a link to a stock EU firmware that isnt a tar ball package, along with .pit file?
Thanks.
All Odin flashable files are either .tar or .tar.md5, why would you want one which isn't tar ball? [sic]
Can .tar be flashed with .pit and still work fine?
I am looking to re-partition.
Sorry, i to clarify im after a package that has the PDA,PHONE, CSC and Pit files seperate.
Of course, but if your phone is currently working, you shouldn't be considering flashing a .pit file. It increases the chance of something going badly wrong, while bringing absolutely no benefit.
Thanks for the replies bud.
Yeah the reason im after it as it has decided to have a fit today for no reason.
I have had cracks appear on the screen under the gorilla glass (which stopped the screen from working), i flashed a stock tar ball via odin which was a success but the phone didnt reboot ( i left it about 20min after the flash) so now i cant get the damn thing to turn on. i think it is booting in to dl mode with my jig as odin is reading it but the tar ball packages are no no longer flashing.
its like a last ditch attempt to get it booting again before i go in to the store asking for a repair :/
its a case of bad day gone worse.
i also want one with pit
i had a link from megaupload with pit but now its down....

Well, it's your phone to brick .
Often firmwares on SamMobile include a .pit file.

^.^ i have flashed with the .pit before you don't need it as you say if you phone is booting
the ones on sammobile did used to come with .pit but they too are all the tar ball packages from what i can tell (dl 3 different ones now)
Thanks.
EDIT: found a package with a .pit here for the other person who needed it,

You use Odin right?
Volume down, home, powerbutton. Yes most probably.
Then its no harm TRY install another PDA. Rooted or not.
If it dont work, like a "boot-loop" or "kernel panic", just
"Odin" back the "old" PDA.
I have experimented hard with mix pda's, modems, and scs's,
and stumbled much, but always been able use Odin and restore.
Mixing versions as for example OXXLPB and XEOLPQ CAN make "kernel
panic", but no worry, just use Odin and restore to working
People say its allmost impossible "brick" our Galaxy S2's, so Im atleast,
are never scared to try some new stuff
Just be careful with experiement with "bootloader" in Odin. Im told that can
be scary.
Good luck, and have fun
Hi all,
First I would like to thank everyone who`s advice has made life easier for me.
However, despite my best efforts, using ODIN, or ODIN Mobile pro, I CANNOT flash a single file ROM. I have tried maybe 15 times now.
However I have had great success when the ROM file contains separate CSC, MODEM, PIT and tar.md5 files.
I was wondering if someone was familiar with this, and what (if anything) did you do to cure it, or is it simply a case that not all Galaxy SII`s are created equal, and some can be flashed with a single tar.md5 file, and some can`t.
Apologies if this question has been asked before, I have spent half an hour searching to see if anyone has asked this question, with no joy...

Looks like you are flashing an incorrect file or its not a tar but the zipped tar .
The norm is single file placed in PDA .
PIT and repartition are not recommended .

Will be more easy for you to flash rom with odin mobile. You don't need to select pda or phone, etc. Give a try

I see your point, but
When I attempt to flash a ROM with a single tar.md5 (using Desktop or mobile ODIN) file in it, it fails, (everything looks normal, progress bar and all - but at reboot it just loops at the first samsung logo, and gets quite warm)When I attempt to flash this file, I use desktop odin, and put it in the PDA section.
But when I flash a ROM that has 4 files in it (CSC, PIT,MODEM and the main ROM file - again placed in the correct boxes in ODIN) it works fine.
This is a pain `cos I want to explore the world of custom ROMs
Currently running Stock Vanilla GB 2.3.6 which I flashed using the aforementioned 4 file flash method Followed by CWM5 Rooting)
I was wondering if there`s something I`ve missed (but after 15 or so attempts, over the last 3 months, with/without SD card, Booting into recovery mode and doing a cache and data wipe amongst others - I kinda doubt it)
If I have to stick with BG2.3.6, then so be it, But I really want ICS.
Any advice anyone???
Thanks in advance for your time....S

Custom roms use mainly CWM recovery which is a single kernel not firmware .
Root + CWM .

Can i guess that you are not using a firmware download from XDA .
Never heard of your problem before in the respect that the phone does not take a single file . Wrong file wrong format not unzipped to a Tar file yes often .

hi there,
i flash my phone with a wrong pit file, and i run into a problem. its already fixed again by my self, but i want to share my experience with you, maybe someone can use it too.
you can download stock- roms, odin and pit files for your phone on sammobile.com. i found a explanation on samdownloads.de with follow information's:
- pit file with 220 on the end is for 16gb version
- pit file with 322 is for 32bg version
- pit file with 329 is for 64gb version
HOLD ON! This information's are wrong for me, and that's why i ran into this problem.
so i download a rom, and i choose the 322 file for my device and start with the flash process. result from that was, that odin hangs on step, SET PARTITION, and that was it. before, i already deleted the other pit files, while i was thinking i didn't need it. so the first was, i investigate some times to find the pit files on the net again and i start to flash with all files, one after the other..
my phone hangs with 220 pit file, with 322 pit file but i get it successfully flashed with 329 file, which if i believe to samdownloads.de was the file for the 64gb version of the phone.
in my opinion and if i look on my experience right now, for international i9300 32bg version the right pit file was the 329. after flashing it again, my phone was again fully stock, everything was fine, my 25gb free space was there, so its fine.
maybe i can help someone with this information's..

I've had my S3 since may 25th MAY and done tons of flashing of ROMS. Never have i ticked the pit as it was clearly mentioned in all the flashing tutorials. There is no need to do it and dont need to encourage others to do something which can hard brick their phones.

its only as a information, maybe somebody runs into the same problem..
It's true that's it's not advised to play with pit files, but I think it would be better if you explained to people why.
Pit files are to be used only when you need to restore partition layout on the phone. That means after you mess up partitions and not before. Bu some guys just ignore warnings like this.

The why is generally that they use the wrong PIT files .
One of the stupid reasons why is going to forum xxxx downloading firmware from them then coming here to ask why has it broke my phone .
PIT mistakes for SG range are in the thousands not just the odd few .

Nothing you can do. If you flash a wrong pit file then your phone is broken. Hard bricked.
The only possibility for you is finding someone with a JTAG box. Try one of those phone repair shops. AFAIK, that's your only hope.
Flashing a wrong pit file is pretty much the worst possible thing you can do to your phone. How the hell did you manage to flash the wrong pit file? Didn't you double, triple, quadruple check that it was the correct file before flashing?
Please don't tell me that you knew that the file was meant for another phone? I've actually seen people do that... :facepalm:

It is possible because people usually think in terms of branding. Not aware different models may exist in different regions. Example the note gen1 has Korean and Chinese and US versions, each has a different model number.

HELP i think flashed the wrong .tar root file for my Galaxy J7 Pro
Hey man,
XDA doesn't trust me enough to let me make my own post and as I'm writing this I'm supposed to be studying for the 3 exams I will be having.
So,
I rooted my phone susing ODIN and the same root file a few months ago on Android 7.1 and it worked. I used it with TWRP recovery and everthing was fine.
Then the Android Oreo update was released for my phone, finally, and I hooked my phone up to my laptop and downloaded the firmware using Samsung's new Software called SmartThings.
Now I had stock ROM, but my device was recognized as rooted and modified, so couldn't use a few apps like Samsung Health and Pay. Then, without thinking, I put my phone in Download Mode and flashed the SAME .tar root file with ODIN, and now my phone won't boot to the pulsating Samsung logo and is stuck in the bootloader
wanted to say that Odin said PASS when .tar file was downloaded in the AP slot
In download mode,
Download Mode says:
Current Binary: Custom
System status: Official
FAP LOCK: OFF
OEM LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0303)
I have access to STOCK recovery and download mode, and I've already tried factory resetting phone and wiping cache. I don't want to take more rash steps without someone knowledgeable guiding me. and I cant find any other forum to post on because I'm not a high enough member.
