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.

Does anyone have the pit file for this phone? Need to repartition. Found it for the n7000 but not the i717. Thanks in advance.
Oh sure. Lots of people have it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
If you go to samfirware.com you will see which Pit's go with each firmware, 512 is the most common, dont risk it...check!
I'm pretty sure they are available there as well...
and do not !!!...change the file names inside the tarballs....= instant brick...IMHO
And I did a little searching for you...see if this helps as well....g

Did you ever get this? I'm currently unable to mount my internal SD or move apps to it even though its practically empty. I think I need to re-partition and from what I've read the past few hours you need a PIT file to do it.

boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset, forgot what its called exactly but you get what i mean. its takes a while to boot and may even go through the boot cycle twice so give it some time.

Will this PIt file work on i717d ?
Hey,
I have somehow managed to brick my phone, here's how it happened..
I was using it, it was quite alright.. But then suddenly, the power button menu started appearing for no reason.. Then i couldnt use the power button at all.. But it got automatically resolved in the evening.
I found my camera to be very unsatisfying, so i updated the camera fw, and it was successful. No issues in the phone as such.
The next day, i found the phone stuck in a hard bootloop, unsolvable by taking the battery out and all.. The recovery mode resets into boot after like 3 seconds.
I put the phone in download and flashed a single file official rom from intratech's thread , that didnt solve anything.
So i thought that i had no option but to flash a .pit file and repartition the phone.
Now, i have an indian gt-i9100, and i looked everywhere for a .pit file , but i cant find a comprehensive guide which includes the .pit file.
I found this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458&page=1
It has all the files, modem, code, and csc. Even the bootloader. But after downloading the package, i couldnt find a .pit file.
So i carried on with the multi file flash, voila, no recovery for me now. The phone still goes into download mode though.
I can carry on with the bootloader flash, but i wanted to try and clear and partitioning problems there might be, if any.
Please help.

EDIT--
Just got the .pit file from the post mentioned above.. did the repartioning.. still the same problem ..

No. You read my post wrong.
I said, you need to flash a special stock firmware that will wipe everything, including data on your phone. Stock firmwares naturally don't wipe data etc after flashing.

I tried flashing XXLPQ from intratech's thread.. Single file flash.. Still not working. It brought back recovery though, But it resets into boot again. Like after 3 seconds.
I m out of my wits here.. What the hell should i do to get this phone to work?
Is it hardbricked? Is it time for me to pay for the repairs at the nearest service center?

pit : http://www.mediafire.com/?pu1nh622wudgzey
Firmware: http://hotfile.com/dl/146748985/809318f/I9100XXLPH.zip.html
Kernel : http://www.mediafire.com/?65a5a59666hdopx
PASSWORD FOR EXCTRATING KERNEL : [email protected]
First flash pit .. once done remove usb , remove battery again get the phone in download mode
flash only kernel in pda once done remove usb , remove battery again get the phone in download mode
after that then flash pit and the firmware together
in firmware u will find 3 files
CODE -> PDA
MODEM -> PHONE
CSC -> CSC
I think you should choose flashing the stock firmwares, where you should wipe everything: caches, dalvik cache, factory reset; however, backup your files.
Flash the firmwares that'd give you that "fresh new feeling"
If flashing it once won't work, i think you could try flashing it again.
But i think you screwed up somewhere in the steps.. mmmm you could try using simple fw's.. ones where all the files are in one PDA file

OK so many of u might know this thing
I rooted the phone... did an OTA Update. BAM phone not booting up
Still in the same condition tried all kinds of software/hardware techniques. Before trying the PIT file i thought that I might give it to Samsung and ask what they say (My frnd's frnd works there)
So he said this
"Ur phone has a Processor problem, There is no problem with the Partition on ur SD Card. I can change the Processor for u but its a 20% chance that it might work. A Motherboard replacement for Rs. 27,000 will only do it [bought the phone for Rs. 55,000]"
So here is my status:
I'm waiting for the phone to come back and I'll take it and try the PIT file thing
My device is a U.K Unbranded Pebble Blue and rooted. Sometimes goes into the Recovery. Almost about 1 in 10 attempts it goes there and 1 in 5 attempts it is actually stable in it. Other wise it just gets back to the GT-i9300 logo.
So!
2 people say that my device should be flashed with the "mx.pit" file. These guys were experts. I mean 1000+ on the Thanks bar.
1 person says that it shud be "...029.pit" format. He did it on his own. Same device as mine but just that his was White in colour. ONLY DIFFERENCE
I need Answers on the following:
1. Is my phone really having the processor problem? Cuz if it was then it shudnt hav booted up in the first place (I thnk?)
2. WHICH PIT SHOULD I GO FOR. ALSO I'M HAVING A BAD TIME FINDING THE 3-PART FIRMWARE FILE.
3. Flashes OK in the Odin. Like it should on ANY S3. Doesn't gives me errors or anything. But it seems like it doesn't really affect it at all. Its still the same. WHATS THE CULPRIT IN THIS PROBLEM?
4. When I go to the Recovery mode (when stable) I can't mount the SD Card? :/
On going to the "Install Zip from SD Card" it says "cannot mount Sd Card". So i think it is the PIT Problem.
He does says "We are trying everything on our par. Even we're doing what we aren't supposed to be doing to a normal person's S3. (frnd u know)."
So what should I do?
I KNOW ITS A LONG THREAD. BUT DO READ IT CAREFULLY :/ :/
THANKS I REALLY NEED SOME HELP...
How did you manage to do an ota update with a rooted phone....usually a message comes up with something like (phone is modified, update cancelled) so how you managed to do that i dont know!....firmware files for the S3 only come as 1 .tar file because thats all thats needed, in terms of the .pit i suggest you search the stickies....theirs bound to be something in their. But im still baffled as to how you managed to do an ota update on a rooted phone :s

2 people say that my device should be flashed with the "mx.pit" file. These guys were experts. I mean 1000+ on the Thanks bar.
>>>> 1000 thanks does not make an expert in PIT files .
>>> PIT is deadly do not flash a wrong PIT .
I need Answers on the following:
1. Is my phone really having the processor problem? Cuz if it was then it shudnt hav booted up in the first place (I thnk?)
>>>>Samsung Service would need to answer that question .
He does says "We are trying everything on our par. Even we're doing what we aren't supposed to be doing to a normal person's S3. (frnd u know)."
So what should I do?
>>. Take the phone back under warranty to a Samsung service centre with trained staff .

Either someone mistranslated it from another language or they are trying to rip you off.
It's VERY,VERY hard to replace the soldered CPU on the logic-board and I'm sure your CPU and logic board are fine.
Usually motherboard replacements are executed whenever they have no clue what's wrong and don't want to search the issue.
There is no problem with the Partition on ur SD Card.

Your SDcard has nothing to do with the issue at all. The only problem is your internal storage (which is an SSD, not an SDcard)
Your partitions might be corrupted.
Please define "phone not booting up". It if's stuck in a bootloop, try removing the SDcard and booting the phone to CWM recovery,
and formatting all usual partitions, then running ext2fs on the internal partition.
(Tip: if you have data on it, you can usually skip the formatting and only run ext2fs, that way you usually won't lose any files but the chance of the phone booting again is lower)

The Internal memory is generally called an internal 'SD Card', so no need to be picky
Just use the recommended PIT and pray to god, if anything goes wrong just get it to the service center and behave like a blonde, seriously.. be dumb.

Did you not read the post above....flashing a .pit is not good and he could end up doing more damage than good....fool!

If phone cant boot, maybe filesystem is damaged. TS should completly reflash everything (that will recreate partition table)

OTA can't break hardware (I believe), so this is software problem. In the worst case JTAG station will be needen

I would not send it for warranty repair if your able to boot into recovery - samsung will void warranty for good.
If you can go into downloader mode then I would do the above with a stock rom and PC odin. - preferbably the one that was shipped with ROM or last official update (for UK XXBLG8)
the PIT file determines the partitioning tables so will be needed. I don't know the standard size and type for SGS3 as not done on sgs3 (but have on other devices) - you'll have to research it; look in some of the stickies in general and development section. (this is better and make you more confident then being told and just relying on that. the stickies have somewhat silent agreement behind them. )
I am no expert but have been flashing long time with some breaks which have always been fixed by odin and repartition with PIT. AT the least it may fix it at the most it will completely kill it but less chance of samsung figuring out that you rooted it.
It is unlikely to be processor problem - even 20% processing power is ~ 300mhz quad i.e.1100mhz which should boot the system just take a while.
THANKS alot guys who replied. really helps me out
I've been going into the market for like 2 months now. Searching for something. I even changed the Internal SD but that didnt do the thing. I know its a Software problem and the only thing I haven't tried is the PIT file.
About the Processor thing. he says that "there is 20% chance of it being OK after that". Sorry if I mistyped that. and yeah i wont do that thing as the processor is very hard to replace. i have no idea how he will do it. but he really has fixed S3's in the past with doing this.
and the phone was with Samsung Service Center. My friend's close friend works there. He also tried everything. He is the one stating the Processor Problem
As for the condition.
The phone just boots up to the GT-i9300 and then reboots to there again... and again... and again.
goes to download mode NO PROBLEM!
Flashes the ODIN files either root or Home.tar with NO PROBLEM too. but it doesn't gives ANY errors. and still it doesn't do anything to it. Still gets stuck in the Bootloop.
If u guys need any more details regarding this. Do tell. please!
Plus:- I've too checked in the Stickies. NO ONE has this problem in which ODIN flashes fine but the software fails to do anythng good. it does WRITE on the Internal SD but doesn't do anything good. I can say that because when I root it. It sometimes goes into the Recovery.

How did you manage to do an ota update with a rooted phone....usually a message comes up with something like (phone is modified, update cancelled) so how you managed to do that i dont know!....firmware files for the S3 only come as 1 .tar file because thats all thats needed, in terms of the .pit i suggest you search the stickies....theirs bound to be something in their. But im still baffled as to how you managed to do an ota update on a rooted phone :s

GUYS! My only way out is to flash a PIT File with 3 part file. I can't find the FULL ROM of it. Mine is U.K - BTU
16GB Pebble Blue unbranded GT-i9300
Just tell link me the file please! Then if it doesn't work I will give it off for Mother Board replacement since its the ONLY way out. And it doesn't really matter if I do the wrong one (but still I would really wish the PIT file would fix it) they will JUST REPLACE THE MOTHERBOARD!!

stop!
before messing with pit files, which is extremely dangerous, flash a stock ROM through Odin and then do a factory reset from recovery

Exactly this^^^^....pit file flashing is an absolute last resort, not a first solution
did you tried flashing 4.0.4 stock rom with odin?
same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago, flashing 4.0.4 and after that flashing 4.1.2 fixed it.
try to do not mess with pit especially if you didn't backup your efs folder. it is not needed.

I've already tried to flash a stock firmware, but I still couldn't get it into recovery. I'm not sure if it was the right one though. I have a regular unbranded SIII, is there a specific firmware I should flash?

okay? the first thing to do here is just flash a stock ROM, no need for pit files
Mine was stuck before than samsung logo, on the model number screen. Almost 1 second or less after opening the device.
Then i flashed 4.0.4 and magically it opened without any loop or something. Its useless to flash 4.1.2 or any other jb stock rom, for some reason it seems not fixing the loop issue.
Again, there is no problem related with pit files.

It's all individual, what worked for you might not work for others. Don't say that flashing JB is useless, because it's not
I flashed stock 4.0.4 firmware through odin. The operation was successful, but I was still unable to enter recovery. What am I doing wrong?

Follow the steps to root and flash your custom ROM again as if you just got your phone. The same thing happened to my T999, and it took me 3 tries doing this to finally get back into Recovery.
try to flash in odin stock rom then root use cwm then try to go to recovery..
My cousin's having the same exact issue and we've been unable to find the proper rom. Can anyone please tell me where to get one? I've downloaded some "international" ones but when i try to upload it it keeps telling me failed, i've tried at least 4 or 5 different roms.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
Phone is:
GT-i9300
using it in the US with StraightTalk in the US (been working like a charm for ~6 months, all of a suddent when into this weird limp mode)
Phone was running jellybean 4.1.1 (through kies) and not rooted
Try several times before giving up. Sometimes it works after when the device feels that you've had enough stress and fear.
I mean the problem is common but it's solved in different ways or different repeats.
But it seems that your problem is a software problem that can be solved.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, i mean flashing jb was useless for me in that situation. Thanks for the correction
