I'm trying to change the stock firmware on my unlocked unrooted international S3: I9300 to an official Samsung ROM downloaded from sammobile. The file I downloaded is called I9300XXDLJ4_I9300OXADLJ4_BTU. It's the UK unbranded firmware. The current firmware is on the phone is:
AP: I9300XXBLH3
CP: I9300XXLH1
CSC: I9300OPSBLH3
I have unzipped the file downloaded from Sammobile, which then gave me a tar.md5 file. So I change the file to just .tar, then unzipped that file. Inside that file I have:
boot.img
cache.img
hidden.img
modem.img
recovery.img
system.img
I then tried to use this tutorial on youtube called: How to Use Heimdall on Mac OSX to Install Kernels and ROMs!
When I open Heimdall on my MacBook, I plug my phone in (in download mode) and go to utilities, detect device, which it does. Then I save the PIT file on my desktop. I then go to the flash tab and browse for the PIT file, load that. Then when I go to add the files I don't have any files listed above called zimage or factoryfs etc, but also the Heimdell options doesn't have anything called kernal or the other ones anyway. My options in the partition name drop down box are:
Bootloader
Userdata
OTA
Hidden
System
Cache
Radio
Recovery
Boot
Param
EFS
BOTA1
BOTA0
MD5HDR
TZSW
The video says to match the files, but mine seems to have different names for things.
I have searched and read many forum posts on here and other sites. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong with either the unzipping or with Heimdall?
Thanks
Samsung hate apple....thats probably your problem

Thanks, but I only have access to a Mac. I did try my work computer, but it won't let me install any programs like Odin and drivers without Admin privileges.
Does anyone have the Partition Info file (.PIT) that can be used in Odin to repartition our phones if needed?
It will be very good if someone can provide one
But that I have seen posted anywhere yet.

I have tried to create one with Heimdall on my Mac but I get an error that it does not get the proper end of file or the .PIT and it will not create anything but a 0 byte file.

Can someone that is rooted follow the directions in the second post of this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737448
Just FYI of anyone searching for a TMB S5 PIT file, it can be found in the thread that philow cited. Note that this is for a standard, 16 GB phone. If you have a 32 GB phone that means two things: I am envious and you will need a different PIT.
SM-G900T /S5 TMB 16 GB PIT

I am needing the pit file for the VZW tab SM-T537V. Can anyone post a link or this file.
Thanks
For those of u who need help getting the pit file for SM-T350 to use Jodin or something of that nature.
