My Galaxy Player is Korean, and i tried to flash a International firmware, but i failed.
Mine was originally KRKPL, and i tried to flash XXKPH. I didn't know I needed to factory reset, so i came back to KRKPH, and tried to wipe, and failed. I flashed KRKPL and i couldn't as well. XXKPH doesn't work also.
When i tried to do factory reset, it says it can't mount.
I've attached two pictures.
This is not mine but it has same situation.
Plz help me guys...

Have you tried to wipe the cache and whatnot? If so take a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498421
What are you using to flash a rom?
Just a comment to you: this is not a hard brick. It is hard bricked if you cannot turn it on at all. This is a soft brick.

Um... I'm really sorry but as English is not my first language, i cant fully understand wts there...
Just to make sure wts happening on my device, I cant boot it and I cant wipe cache or factory reset cause it says it cant mount
And... since they(the people on that link) are talking about LG device, not Galaxy Player, I cant use the files or smth...
Maybe it is because i didnt understand it. i think so.
So i will be great if you just explain to me little bit easier and more wt i should do..
thx

im using odin to flash the ROMs
and i thought it was a hard brick.. soz
The problem on the other post was the same as yours. However he used rom manager to flash the rom which was the source of his problem as he told rom manager that he was using a different device to what he was using.
What version of odin are you using? Also just checking, when you flash, you are putting it in PDA and have all the things that need to be ticked/ unticked, ticked or unticked.
I think that you're problem is that you have lost your partition tables. So this is what you should do: odin3 rebuild partitions, with valid pit file and one package in PDA

ROM Manager is a app of market, past that I dont know much as it hard bricks my device the moment you grant it sudo permissions, but Cyanogenmod likes it as you can wirelessly "send" ROMS to your phone.
Ill see if i can get a 16G PIT
- Edit, only can find PITs for the 4.0 version 16GB, but I assums as the hardware stays the same (only size of solid state drive changes) it should work, good luck.
One package in PDA and yes, it is the firmware file, it contains boot, systemrfs, csc and modem perhaps- not to sure as its not a phone. but it has all you need.
so... ur telling me to use 4.0 PIT and 5.0 firmware? is that right?
and isnt rom manager a app in android device? how can u use that to flash a rom?

Im note sure about your first question but harry will know that. I would have thought that you would use 4.0 pit and 4.0 firmware, maybe harry thought you had a 5.0, I will check with him.
But yes you can flash a rom with rom manager however I would not recommend it as it is likely that it will brick your device. Check other people trying it on your 4.0 though, I wont use it because I do not fancy I hard brick. There are however many other applications that do the same but I would stick to odin if I were you. If you did decide to use a mobile rom flasher then I would say mobile odin would be your best choice but once again I have not used it myself.
If you choose to use rom mangager then check out this for a full explanation: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/32771-faq-what-rom-manager-how-do-i-use.html

I would use pit for 5.0 8gb and firmware for 5.0, korean and see how it goes if you can't find the 16gb pit. This is because only the size of drive changes, no other hardware nor software. The kernel should be exactly the same. So I would not recommend using 4.0 pit otherwise you may brick or come into another problem. If the 8gb pit does not work then ask around on the forums for the 16gb pit, and if no one has it then give the 4.0 16gb pit a go.
Sorry I got a bit confused there, I was helping someone out who has a 4.0.
I would stay away from 4.0 stuff for your 5.0 if I were you
Sent from my Motorola Xoom
The 5.0 firmware and pit, the 5.08gb will be wa better match than 16gb4.0
wait... i fount GB70 16GB PIT(Korean one), and flashed with KRKPL, but still doesnt work...
I have checked re-partition and put PIT and firmware on odin.. :'(

You're problem is a problem with lost partitions, so you need to get them back. Usually by doing what you did before. So I will look for you and if you look online as well, you need to put partitions back to stock or recover lost partions.

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.

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.

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?

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

YES, I KNOW THAT ALL QUESTIONS GO IN THE Q&A FORUMS BUT ITS HERE TO GET THE DEVELOPERS. SINCE I HAVEN'T FOUND ANY PERSON THAT CAN HANDLE SUCH SITUATION. (Please read ahead to take note of the problem clearly)
Please think of this as to help me (and other people who made these dead like this one). Don't comment "Questions go in the Q&A forum you friggin' NOOB". I know all of this stuff!!!!!
How it happened??:-
Rooted the phone using CF Root 6.4. Working "Perfectly"!
Did an OTA update (0.17MB) accidently. Encountered Random Reboots after then.
Then it won't boot at all
Stuck at the "GT-i9300" logo.
I HAVE THE NANDROID BACKUP BUT WON'T GO INTO THE RECOVERY SO ITS USELESS (is there any way to do it without the Recovery??)
Current situation:-
No Recovery. Tried Re-flashing the Official ROM and Re-rooting it. Either doesn't shows up or when shows up stays for 2 seconds and then goes to the GT-i9300 Logo.
Download mode is PRESENT.
Charges with NO PROBLEMS. Shows the Battery Logo going up and the Blue LED comes on too.
It once gave an error saying : "E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted."
It also gave a similar one in the above but with some other error. I didn't noticed it.
Odin Flashes WITHOUT any errors(no errors within the Odin). Writes the Firmware completely but unable to proceed due to some unknown reason.
I have tried these:-
Changed the NAND Memory Chip. Still the exact same problem. (Partition problem or something?)
J-Tagged it. No use!
Flashed all the Official ROMs via Odin.
Re-Rooted it. No use. Recovery isn't stable. Keeps rebooting after 2 seconds to the GT-i9300 Logo.
Please take this Question very seriously. Since its not just me with the same problem. There are many many other people with the same problem and with no solutions. Isn't this the main reason of XDA-Developer? Or is it just ROMs, Themes or Kernels? A person would be more happy if he gets his/her phone repaired instead of lying there on the desk and keeping those papers in there place and stop them being blown away from the fan!
For the moderators:- I know this isn't in the rules of the XDA to post a Question in the Android Development Section but this is here to summon all the ROM Developers and the Kernel Tweakers. Thank You for your valuable time!
Flash FULL ICS rom with .pit file

Download *.tar file from sammobile. As you have download option live, you can flash the same with help of Odin (for ICS)
Flash A Stock ICS ROM with Odin.
Get them from Sammobile or from a thread with stock rom collections.
Even get an Galaxy S3 .pit file for odin.
That will fix it.
Just to keep you happy, Most Samsung Devices are unbrickable. As long as it boots, even if its in bootloop it can get fixed with odin.
Keep us updated.
Sorry, even questions like this go into the Q&A, that's where the devs are, aswell..
Anyway, go to this website and create an account.
Download latest JB/ICS ROM and get a .pit file. Open Odin and flash away..
Done, your phone is working again..
Moved to Q/A, there is no reason to post this in the development section.
That is the problem!! No one in the Q&A section answered like u guys have :/
All I get told was "give it to the Service Center".
Anyway! Which PIT file should I flash. A Procedure would be nice. My Last firmware was 4.0.4 don't know the number.
Ohk so I found it from the Nandroid Backup. It was I9300XXBLG8 I also found something written as IMM76D
But this was before the OTA update. Can someone tell me about the .pit file for it?
Which .pit file should I use?
bump?

I gave it to a person here in the phone market. He also J-tags it. He had a spare broken motherboard. he changed the NAND Flash Memory Unit by himself. He said it is in the same condition as it was before. So no problem to the NAND Flash Memory Unit is done.
Suggest that you join sammobile as posted and use stock firmware .
Sammobile has a forum and you may get more information regarding a PIT file there .

Hey! I didn't noticed its JJE!
I remembered u helped me alot in the previous Threads I made!
I downloaded the U.K version. Which is the one I had according to the Nandroid Backup I made.
I opened the "system.ext4.tar" by WinZip.
Saw a CSCVersion.txt file.
It had written "I9300OXABLG8" on it.
Also in the "build.prop" file (Opened by Notepad) I saw I9300XXBLG8 written aswell.
So I downloaded that one.
So I have only one Question:
Which PIT File should I put? :/
I see 5 of them :-
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit
M0_20120220.pit
mx.pit
Which one?
should be the last one...
Why don't you just spare yourself numerous headaches by sending the phone in for repair? Just say it died on you or something.

If you flash the wrong pit file or if the pit file fails to flash, you might destroy your nand memory. The pit file is the partition table, hence you should be very careful.

Ok so Im gonna give it to the Samsung Service Center first thing. I don't wanna completely Eff up my device :/
Gonna take the phone from the person I gave to and hope to God that the NAND change has made that flash counter to Zero :/
Just as the Subject says. Only for knowledge purposes (though my phone is bricked :/ )
I get absolutely NO ERRORS while flashing ANY firmware for that matter through Odin. Though my phone is U.K Unbranded I9300XXBLG8.
It should boot-up but doesn't :/
Can't get into Recovery either. Not even a glimpse of it.
Stuck at the i9300 logo :/
Anyone care to help me and answer the following questions?
1. When is flashing a PIT File suitable? At what error u should do it?
2. Do I have a Bootloader/Recovery Problem or something?
3. Will J-Tagging help it?
4. Can someone tell me what is causing this problem? I haven't seen anyone with this problem yet. The firmware as well as CF Root flashes successfully (in Odin)... though the phone shows no positive results.
5. Should I go for PIT or J-Tagging or something else? I don't wanna risk it. All I know is that u should only flash a PIT file when u get the "Get PIT for Mapping" error. And J-Tagging is when the phone doesn't boots up. (I may be wrong)
Anyone with some suitable knowledge please drop by and help me.
Or someone who had this problem before.
My phone is a GT-i9300
CSC Version: I9300OXABLG8
Last Firmware was XXBLG8.
Pebble Blue non-branded and 16gb version.
THANK U
don't panic!
You should be able to fix it by just flashing a stock firmware with Odin
---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------
you could also try removing the battery for a few minutes and then reinsert and try voting recovery again
Only go for a pit file, if you're planning to flash-lock the device, or repartition it, for that matter.
Don't panic, if your device is bricked, it's not, actually
You f***ed up your boot partition..
Goto sammobile.com/firmware, register, download latest U.K. firmware and then you should be good to go. Then you can root it and everything. DW about your SD, it'll stay as it is..
Hope I could help!

Yes I have a question about that. I'v been looking for the 3 part firmware. I couldn't find it there :/
I have flashed the exact same firmware u r telling.
Btw ur the only one who has said that doing the PIT file will not risk my S3 :/

Flashing a pit is risky, and interruption could lead to hard brick, however if you do it right then all will be good, I used to flash with pit on the s1 regularly as it was a necessity coming from cm to gb, or something along those lines.
Just make sure you know what you are doing
PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!
OK i think my phone is alive. I managed to get it into the CWM Recovery. But there seems to be one little problem. That I can't mount my SDCard. Even tried mounting in the "Mounts and Storage" Option. Im kinda hopeful but I don't know what to do now
Tried Factory/Data Resetting but that didn't do any good. Have i Effed my SDCard or something??? :/ :/

any specific error messages about that in cwm?
Personally i used .pit with no issues. My story was that i changed the original partition layout and flashed stock .tar after that. CWM was functional but couldn't mount anything. So i just grabbed a .pit and flashed stock together with .pit - all fine.
And regarding the "interruptions" during .pit flashing - it was the same speed as flashing without .pit, at least for me.
If in your case it's simple filesystem corruption, connecting over adb and launching fsck on the messed up partitions should provide some results.
