If the hardware is exactly the same, you can probably flash the e120s firmware on the e120k device. If anything is different between the K and S devices, it won't work. If the placement of the hardware keys along the bottom edge are in a different arrangement between the two devices, it won't work. For example, my S2 SPH-D710 is very similar to i9100, the only difference is the bottons at the bottom are in a different arrangement on the two devices, the search button is where the menu button should be and menu is where search should be, also, screen rotation is different. Up on i9100 is down on D710. I could flash i9100 firmware on d710 and everything works but everything is backwards.

thank sir for the reply, the e120s looks similar to e120k, i tried to flash the stock jb rom of it in my e120k via odin but it failed, i compared the files of the stock roms for the two models and found that some files are not the same size.. would this be the cause why it failed?do i need a e120s pit file so i can flash the stock rom to my e120k? thank you so much for the reply sir.

Make sure that the firmware that you tried is not made for a device that has more internal storage space.
For example, if your device has 8GB internal and the firmware that you tried is for a device that has 16GB internal, it won't work, regardless of what PIT that you use.

Yes, that might be a problem, but you can extract the modem.img from the firmware for your model and place it in the firmware file from the other model then flash it.

We can't tell you what to do because we don't have your device. I'm sorry you're having problems and that there isn't a section for your phone but we really can't help you.

If I'm not mistaken the model number for your phone is GT-I9070. That phone is a cousin of the GT-I9000. You may be able to get some useful advice in that forum.
There are a large number of firmware distributions for your phone at Samsung Update. You may be able to find a pit in there.

Your phone's the SPH-L710, amiright? Download one of the firmwares from this page (I recommend going with the latest one on 4.1.2). The firmware file is going to be rather large (maybe around 1 Gigabyte). Once it is complete, download Odin from here, and you can find a simple explanation on how to use it here. You're going to have to extract the .tar (or .tar.md5) file in the firmware .zip you downloaded earlier. That .tar.md5 goes under 'one package' in Odin. If you have any questions or you are unsure of anything, don't proceed until you understand it all. You can seriously mess up your device if you make a mistake. Feel free to PM me all your concerns and questions. I'll help.
Download firmware related to your model number from samfirmware.com and flash it using odin

As you are posting in the I9300 forum you may well have flashed wrong stuff on your different phone I9305 and bricked it .
Suggest flash recovery format sdcard system data and cache boot to download mode and flash stock rom .
But I can't seem to find a working stock rom
And this area shows on my phone as s3 9300 and 9305

Your stock rom will be here on Sammobile
If you have flashed or tried to flash a newer version than the one on this site you may not be able to just flash the stock rom it may have corrupted you EFS, see my signature link for that problem
I can't download from Sam mobile it won't let me register for some reason

[PIT] Stock PIT file thread

Here is a potential working PIT file for the P600 on MK1 (32gb):
http://relic.gdiny.com/~dasmoover/android/sgn10/p600_MK1.pit
I encourage other members with different devices and different ROM versions to run this command and upload your results:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/devicemodel_romversion.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=4244
You can check the layout in the tool PIT Magic:

Hope this helps a few people out.
I will update the thread as new models and versions are posted.
Thanks.

I did a windiff on our 2 analysis files and the only difference was the file names and dates.. shouldn't they have had some variance due to 32 vs 16 gb?
The only issue is none of these are samsung signed so they fail the usual ODIN method.

Samsung has to release one. I have the Source but it doesn't seem to be anywhere obvious.
Or we find a way to flash the PIT without signature analysis.
Here is mine. I guess it is only useful for ppl who is from Turkey cos Samsung created a model which called sm-p602 only for here (Which is almost same with p601 but dont have phone call feature. Meanwhile i am trying to port p601 firmware to this device but i dont have a useful pit. I tried lsherif's pit file yet seems like there are a problem with the pit cos it is not re-partitioning my device and also when i check with pit magic i got error. So an 16 gb sm-p601 pit will be useful if someone upload

Sorry to ask such a stupid question...but what the heck does a PIT file do that helps out? Not trying to be an ass, just don't get it. Or is it just another name for the firmware file?
don't recall it being called a PIT when i was working on my previous samsung devices anyways....i had one of these tablets but returned it because there was zero dev going on - now there's a small amount, but it's just not seeming to be worth the huge cost of the device to me. Which sucks, because it's a killer unit... if samsung was to release the LTE model in north america then that would be more alluring... HEAR ME SAMSUNG? RELEASE IT DAMNIT!
Hello i tried to execute the script but it doesn't work. I see cmd screen opening and closing very fast. Can somebody make a tuto to extract .pit file.
Thanks
The PIT Files are essentially useless unless we find a signed version or another method of flashing it to the device.
Hello. Can someone upload sm-p605 16GB pit file. I bricked my tablet so I can't do anything, and I think I damaged my hidden - /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 I guess I was formatted it wrong format. I can't flash any ROM's via Odin, I can flash recovery, root using Odin.

You need a proper root - Super SU; a proper installed Busybox then plug it into PC, open EFS professional or some program that allow to extract all partition you need. That's at least thing I knew from owning Note 2.

I would keep well away from pit files if i where you! You should only use pit files if you can't boot your phone and have tried everything else pit files have the potential to brick your device..That said have you tried using a root explorer to look at your system files?
Edit just seen you have a T mobile edition you need to post your question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-t-mobile any advice or files flashed from this forum could brick your device.

Indeed the i9300T is the same as the i9300 in all hardware aspects.
The 'T' version has the baseband optimised for the 850 Mhz frequency range to get a better reception from Telecom.
Its an Australian/New Zealand Version
