There is no PIT parition / Phone hangs at boot screen (Samsung Galaxy SIII Screen) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, unfortunately my phone took the opportunity to have the power button jam and cause it to loop on and off whilst it was charging for roughly 7 hours. The phone now hangs at the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" Screen.
I've tried flashing a stock rom via Odin , however i get the error "There is no PIT parition."
Is there any other workaway around this?
I have read around the forum and tried different usb ports but to no avail.

Are you sure you didn't tick to use PIT?
If not, your partition table may be broken and you'll need the one on samfirmware.com to revive it.

Where can i get the partition table at samfirmware.com?
It it in the forums or somewhere on the front page? I can't seem to find it sorry.
Would i also just re-partition it with the PIT file on Odin?

Hello! I have found the partition file for the 16gb Galaxy S3 however i receive a new error.
It says :
<ID:0/004> Added!!

How do i fix this? Thank you and sorry.

If it was the correct PIT file used then it looks like either a JTag repair ( cheaper) or a service centre repair .

Try to use also another Odin version such as 1.85 and make sure nothing frome Kies is running in the background. No need for jtag. Your phone is not dead as long it enters download mode.

Not necessarily true. If you have nand rw corruption, it can still be possible to enter dl mode, but require jtag.

maybe you are right but i have never encountered this. i have usually been forced to S1 and S2 after wrong bootloader writting. they could not be booted so had to fix them via jtag.

if you are skillfull enough you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731255
you will need another same phone and the multiple tars that i told you to download.
bear in mind that i will not be held responsible for any further damage if any occurs,
i have not made this nor i have tried it. this absolutely Samsung made. if you feel that it is over your head DO NOT TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can flash stock recovery through Odin - PDA
OR
BACKUP data to PC and flash full firmware package with Odin. Follow Intratech guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
You can download firmware packages from XDA (Intratech etc), samsung-updates.com or samfirmware.com
Then re-root and flash CWM recovery

You don't need to get into recovery when using Odin. You need download mode. But any search would have clarified that
Power off and press :
Vol down + home + power (keep depressed until download mode)
Same for recovery (Vol up instead)

I think his problem is that he can't enter recovery, he can only enter download mode. He's asking if there's a way he can enter recovery mode through Odin (by flashing it?) not the other way around.
