[Q] Which PIT file?

Hi,
My samsung GT-I9300 suddenly stopped working.
After entering recovery mode I found out that the phone cannot mount ANY file system (no access to /system /efs etc).
I then decided to flash the modem with odin v3.09.
I entered the download mode on the smartphone (by pressing hold,power,volume down) and connected the smartphone to the usb port of my pc.
Odin detects the phone (COM port number is displayed) but as soon as I start the process Odin reports that "there is no PIT file". I've found and tried a PIT file but that file isn't accepted.
The question is: how do I find out which PIT file I need?
That error message usually means you have a corrupt emmc chip. You can try flashing the rescue firmware (search in general forum) but probably need a new motherboard.

[Q] BOOTLOOP No Normal or Recovery Boot/ Downloader works/ Odin does not detect on PC

Phone specs:
Samsung Galaxy S3 Verizon SCH-i535
It was already running KitKat 4.4.2 before I rooted
This is my first time rooting and flashing ROMs to my Samsung Galaxy s3 and I have bricked it. I'm pretty sure it can be salvaged but have yet to find anything that works.
I have written the long version for those who need it, but the short version is that I screwed up and can no longer boot into recovery mode or normal mode, I'm not even sure if Download mode is working, and my device isn't recognized by Kies or Odin on my PC so I cannot yet do a recovery from there.
As of now my phone only boots into Odin Mode and gives the following info:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
and displays the yellow triangle error and says: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software repair Assistant & try again.
I tried to use Samsung Kies which has an emergency firmware tool but my device will not connect and become recognized by the program.
This is pretty much where I'm stuck.
Keep reading if you need additional info.
Steps leading up to problem:
I was able to Root the device succesfully
I then downloaded the latest CM11 package (cm-11-20140217-NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip) and Gapps
I also downloaded the TWRP recovery img (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-d2vzw.img)
Once I had these downloaded I got the app [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool
I opened the app and tried to do a backup but I'm pretty sure it failed, or at least it said it failed. I couldn't find out how to check, but was not worried since I have already backed up my important files to the verizon cloud.
On the app I went to recover using other file and found the TWRP recovery img I downloaded.
From here I booted into recovery manually, but it did not bring up the TEAMWIN screen for TWRP like I've seen in other video tutorials so I rebooted into normal mode went to the Rashr app again and followed the prompt to do a Recovery boot using the TWRP img.
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEMS BEGAN:
It began to lead into recovery mode but it gave a message that said something along the lines that I have tried installing a custom OS and to take my phone to the nearest verizon store.
I turned it off and tried to boot back normally but got the same error.
I tried to boot into Download mode and was successful! So I thought yaay!
Read a tutorial to reload a stock version of android here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319
I followed all the steps but when i got to 7. which said You should see your phone under ID:COM (you should also see it has been added in message) I was not seeing my phone there. I figured it may be OK since I was able to install the drivers so that meant the USB was working so I went ahead and ran Odin to recover Jelly Bean 4.3 onto the device.
My thoughts and guesses as to what the problem is:
I think that it may be because I was already running 4.4.2 and/ or didn't have the proper bootloader when I tried to do the TWRP recovery.
Am I on the right track? Thanks for any help!
Please ask. In correct forum this is int'l s3 (i9300) forum

Flash the stock firmware using Odin 3.09.
To do it install the Samsung USB Drivers.
Then boot into Download mode and connect your device with your computer.
Load the firmware file you downloaded in Odin and make sure re-partition is unchecked.
Click Start.

There's a link to firmware from that video. Have no way to test it. Odin will check the md5 for you though. Make sure that version is compatible for your region / carrier (if necessary) and at least the same android version or better for best results.

Error Cannot Update Software

Hello,
I've Samsung Galaxy SM-J701F/DS and i did factory reset and started getting into panic mode. So, I tried to flash stock ROM through odin and I only selected AP and left other files like Bl, CP and CSC. Thus it took longer time without any result so, I closed the odin. Since then my phone only boots in download mode.
And while trying recovery or normal boot I get " Error Cannot Update Software ".
I used this ROM:

Greetings, @su2674raj
The answer is simple!
"Flash stock ROM"
There is a way to flash the firmware again. First unlock your bootloader
Requirements: A PC of course, A working USB cable, your A10, unlocked bootloader, Odin 3 or Higher, and a mind, some patience.
I am not responsible for bricking your device.
This is how to unlock bootloader. I just chooses a random YouTube video I don't own any content I WILL SEND.
Galaxy A series bootloader unlock:
Downloading "Samsung Odin"
Then download "Samsung Odin" to your PC. I prefer latest version.
Odin download link: https://odindownload.com/
Galaxy A10 firmware
Then download the Samsung Galaxy A10
firmware.
Galaxy A10 firmware: https://samfrew.com/fr/download/Galaxy__A10__/f4ji/PAK/A105FDDU3BTF1/A105FOJM3BTF1/
You can back if this isn't your A10 version and choose another one from the site bellow.
Now shut your A10 down. (To shut it down just hold volume down and power for more than 10 seconds. Now hold both volume keys while device is off... Then connect USB cable. Allow the download mode thing. And when it say "downloading" you will see a yellow thing appears in "Odin" tool.
Now... Unzip the firmware and open Odin.
The files inside the zip will start with something like this
A file will start with "BL" at the beggining so obviously load it in the "BL" section in odin
The one starts with "AP" will be putten in the AP section. Etc.
Warning!
The "AP" might take some time to load. It might say it's not responding but just wait for it. You are loading 2GB firmware.
After loading all the files simply click start. That's all! Wait for it and it will reboot . I hope this be helpful for you.
TROUBLESHOOTING SOME ISSUES!!!
If you connected your phone in download mode to PC but you didn't see yellow colour that means you have to install "Samsung galaxy USB drivers" from online.
After flashing... (Clicking start) if it finished and the ROM said Invaild... You have to get another firmware from another site (use a YouTube video I
recommend)
if the Odin stuck on "setup connection" for more than one minute that means you have to click "reset" then close Odin and restart your mobile to download mode again and start everything again.
TIPS!!
In "Odin" if you filled all the required files in thier right section there might be a section without a file in it. Just skip it
Consider installing twrp recovery for easier ROM flashing (without a PC!)
Android 11 ARM64 LINEAGE OS 18.1 is unofficially out for our galaxy A10. It can be flashed using the twrp recovery. The twrp can be flashed uising Odin.
Thanks all i will try it and let you know the outcome of the same.
