hello. i would like to repartition my device due to some problems but i can not find the right pit file. i guess i should install the one for my corresponding rom and device. I installed one which works for me so far i guess but i could not transfer some files from my pc (tested on two) properly so i guess its not 100% functional... also will my data stay put? Thanks in advance!

TT.TT today, I somehow bricked my galaxy player...Can anyone please try to upload the Pit file..
Here is how to do it:
1. Download Heimdall Suite
2. Open "heimdall-frontend"
if you encounter errors in windows, you need to install the zadig libusb driver. 3. Remember to "show all" from the menu in the program.
4. Put your device in Download mode
5. Click the Utilities tab
6. select an output filename. The file should always end with a "pit" I'd recommend something descriptive. eg..
GalaxyPlayer4.0-16G.pit, or G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig.pit
7. upload that file to mediafire
upload it to mediafire

yup...I saved my ROM before re-partitioned it ...>< what is your version? Mine is Galaxy player 4.0 16Gb?
I will upload it, and post it here as long as I am done.
I sent you the link via inbox. The forum didn't let me post the link.
After restoring the ROM, can me do me a favor? TT.TT follow the 1st post and upload the PIT file.....I will be really really appreciate it.
Thanks
I got the PIT file. But, what to do next? TT.TT any idea?
Sorry I answer so late, but I wasn't able to make it work. I think I also need pit file, because when I bricked my device I used a pit file from US version.
If you have the pit file you can use Odin to write the ROM
Regards.
I see I am not only guy having crashed their original PIt file. (sad)
I see a group of XDA expert working on that but I am not allowed to post because I am beginner.
I have seen many post about PITs file availability but no one about the 32Gb version i am looking for.
I have already tested many of them with different FW without big success, the best is to reach the Galaxy player logo after the boot signal. I seems it is a lack of space may be because i use the 16Gb version.( all wipes done)
I read that the original PIT is present in every FW, how can we extract it from there in order to replace the wrong we are using?
Can you adress my request to some expert if not boring.

Hi!
I know that I'm asking about forbidden subjects but I have no intention of doing something stupid just want to understand some things about S2.
That's what I think I understand:
- PIT is a file that contains partition layout on our device, that partitions are later flashed with files from rom package (files are partition images in fact)
- Normally we do not need to re-partition because there is only one partition description available on S2 - so all ROM share it (also it's not recommented coz if sth goes wrong we have big problem - device without partitions)
- EFS is one of the partitions and it shouldn't be touched (contains IMEI etc)
Here is my question:
Some people flash ROM with PIT and repartition and still have working device - how is it possible ?? - re-partition should wipe everything including EFS.
EDIT:
One more thing - when exploring XXKP8 rom package from sammobile.com noticed that there is PIT file and some file named
I9100_EFS_I9100XXKP8_CL42141_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
that contains efs.img file I wonder what is this file for. Some generic EFS image ??
Regards
Slig
The pit is used for partition mapping, basically telling the program which block device is which partition. You dont need to use the pit as Odin can pull it from the phone, this also prevents people from using i9000 pits (sgs1, and yes this has happened)
Efs has both generic files and device specific files, I think.

Yeah I read about that epic failure. That is why I'm asking - want to know everything before doing anything.

The recommendation is not to flash PIT file or repartition unless you know what you are doing .
PIT does not wipe EFS .
Their is a PIT file description post on the forum .

Yes, I'm fully aware of that. I'm just the kind of person that like to know why so I decided to investigate this subject deeper. Another thing is that I'll probably try to use heimdall and that program requires better understanding than "use PDA field in Odin".
You can just flash a .pit file and check repartition. You just have to make sure your flash won't fail. If you have faulty drivers or a damaged usb cable, then it will brick your phone.
If you want to try it, make a flash without .pit and repartition and if it works you can use them. Its just something unexperienced users should not use.
Unless something changes, we don't need to repartition, (one case might be if android plus tw is bigger than 500 ish megs Samsung would need to make the system partition bigger) so we just don't need to use it, and making the risks sound worse it keeps newbies away.

Very interesting informations that answers many of my questions.
Hello,
I just wanted to flash the newest ics leak, but i accidentally formated the emmc.
Now my backups are gone(didnt copy to pc), i have no usb storage mode, is gives me a error: E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).
I cant download stock roms from some topic here because its hosted on megaupload, and you know its gone.
What can i do? (or search for )
Go to Sammobile & search for an unbranded firmware for your country. If you can't find any/they don't have any, find/use the latest available specific to your carrier. Flash whichever firmware you use in Odin & follow any specific instructions Sammobile have for flashing their firmwares (might differ to the ones you used to get here, don't know for sure, never used Sammobile firmware).
Thx, i download the firmware but their flash guide is hosted on multiupload which seems to be broken too.
And the files i downloaded... i cant recognize them.
I got a JW1_JV5_JVT.tar (europe, the last one, Netherlands.)
Inside i got a boot.bin, cache.rfs, factory.rfs, modem.bin, param.lfs and a sbl.bin.
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.
EDIT: I think i found a download... hoping its good.
EDIT2: It worked, thx for your help.
I tried to install a custom rom yesterday. Unluckily I treid to do it quickly before leaving the house. I rooted my tab, then copied the custom rom file and the Gapps file to my internal storage card and also installed a newer CWM version. At some point I must have formated my entire Date because there are no files left on my internal storage card. The tab goes up to the Samsung Logo and that's it. I'm guessing that there is no OS installed on the device. (Galaxy Tab 10.1n 3G - GT-P7501)
Now to my questions:
How can I copy the ROM File to the internal storage card using odin or any other programm? I can go into the download mode and I can start CWM.
Do I have to install anything else or should the Rom be enough?
I read somewhere, that I should copy the PIT File to my tab but I can't find the file anywhere!
After spending the last 4 hours looking for answers and a solution I hope that someone here can help.

You can't use odin to copy a file to your device and the mount sd-card option in CWM has never worked for me.
What you need to do is flash a stock odin file with its pit file and then you can reroot and reflash CWM.
Put the rom and gapps on your tab,
and hopefully then you can flash the rom everything will work correctly.
Here is a link to the odin tar file I use: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3mpm0lez9ikbzvf/Stock-3.2-HTJ85B.UEKMM.tar
You can find a tutorial for flashing this on XDA somewhere.
Thank you so much!!
It didn't work at first but after taking the tab out of the docking station and changing the usb port it finally flashed everything without hanging at the bin file. i will try to install a custom rom now.
thanks again!

No problem! I'm just glad it all worked out for you!
I am facing same problem but with TWRP recovery mode. I wiped out sdcard and all data. I am using P7500 tab. Can you help me through the process. All I can do it right now is go it recovery mode, nothing else.
well, just do what highriser posted, download odin, download a tar file that represents a Gtab ROM and flash it to your tab using download mode. As I am at work I can not provide you with links to the files (as online storage is blocked by our IT Security).
Check this thread and pay attention to the "UNROOTING & RESTORING STOCK RECOVERY" part.

Hi to all.
I would like to ask a few questions, that i haven't been able to find the answer to,
even after extensive search.
I have a G925F with the G925FXXS5EQI7 Firmware.
As I have seen at sammobile.com, the newest and more common Firmware updates come with XXU Firmwares.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s6-edge/SM-G925F/
The attempts to install a XXU Firmware over the XXS have failed,
with the error in Odin which I assume is because of the wrong hidden partition size and/or PIT file.
The /proc/partitions file in the XXS firmware has this in the partition table:
259 1 204800 sda17
so I assume it's the 200M partition size, correct?
I have seen this pages regarding the PIT files.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...g925-pit-files-multi-thread-download-t3171636
https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30136
The first one here at XDA has nothing but dead links,
while the second has every PIT file from the first one except the HIDDEN300M pit,
and a additional HIDDEN250M pit file not present in the first link.
So the questions I would like to ask are:
1. Could you please inform me on what is the correct PIT File to download,
in order to install the XXU Firmware? Any download link if possible?
2. I have read somewhere here in the forums that if I install the largest (so the HIDDEN250M, or 300M)
PIT file will allow me to install any firmware, but will eat away some MBs of storage, is that correct?
3. Should I install the PIT file alone, in the PIT options without any firmware, or along with a firmware?
4. Is data/cache wipe necessary, or could I just update from the XXS firmware without data loss?
5. With the correct (largest?) PIT file I will be able to install either XXU or XXS firmware, right?
I would really appreciate your input on this.
Thank you in advance.

Google. There are loads of links. Which pit you need?
It's quite easy.
Use samfirm tool in manual mode (enter which FW you want to have) and tick binary nature. It'll download the latest multi part factory image which contains the right pit file in the CSC part.
If odin detects it there it uses it.
