SGH-I727 Owners & XDA Members:
I need to completely repartition, reformat, and reinstall OS on my Skyrocket; but I've only got the radio, OS, and CSC. I still need the PIT file for my phone in order to repartition. Without it, repartitioning will fail and soft-brick my phone. I've searched the forum, and maybe I'm not using the right keywords to search, but I just can't find it. Is there anyone out there who has this file or can point me to it? I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance!
Thank you,
Ed

Honestly I think we have yet to see a pit file for our skyrocket. I can't get heimdall to work on my windows or my linux machine. I mean it works but doesn't recognize my phone. If you know a trick to make it work ide pull the pit for ya. I wonder if there is a way to do it with adb?

Just urious, y do u need to complrtely partition? Erasing data,system and emmc partitions, as well as reflashing radio then odin stock is the same, no?

I can't get it to work on my vista machine either. Haven't tried my xp or linux boxes yet.

Does anyone happen to have the correct boot.bin and sbl.bin for the Galaxy S 4G? I'd love to have them if so and I know some of the DEV's here most likely have an ODIN package with them. I promise I would search for them but we all know that it's impossible to know what's in the ODIN package without downloading then looking inside it, or someone stating what's in it. I'm looking for good files to flash after JTAG sessions on the Galaxy S 4G.
Thanks!
this is from KC1, but should still work.

Wow this may be a huge help. Ok I've seen it said both ways but do you have a T959V pit? I'm going to be using heimdall and would like to use these but as you probably know the pit is required to repartition. I'm working with a T959V that I jtagged back to life but had previously been flashed with T959 firmware and surprisingly that has the partitioning all haywire.
Ok I confirmed that those are the correct boot.bin and sbl.bin files. Now I think if I could get a hold of a decent pit file I may could get this up and running.
the only one I have is a bad on. LOL
BUT, I know there is a way to make one from the phone. I'll have to look to see how the SK4G guys did it.
They are probably just dumping the bml partition that stores the pit. Thanks for the info though so far!
Alrighty I successfully produced my own PIT file and hex edited to ensure it was about the same as a typical one as there is a lot of extra gobble that must be removed with a hex editor from the dump file. I loaded it up into ODIN and flashed some old KC1 firmware and bam! Back up and running with correct partitioning!
Do you think you could make us a working .pit from it?

Said and done. It worked beautifully on the customer's SGS4G that I hard de-bricked and should for any DEV or enthusiast if needed. Remember, there is no need to use a PIT file unless you are having partitioning problems.

Wondering which PIT 512 or 803 to point Heimdall at later when I try to flash CWM.
Don't think you Odin users need it, but Heimdall requires a pit as one of the parameters on the command line.
Any thoughts?

Really? Maybe I've got an old version. Haven't used it in a while since it wasn't necessary with the Nexus S.
Thanks.

Thanks. I suspected a wrong pit could screw things up, hence the question here.
Other says you don't need it, so I'll double check that. Please don't bother with one on my behalf just yet!

I'm very interested in knowing more about it as well. Others have said Heimdall is the safer way vs Odin.

Newer versions of heimdall don't require the PIT file, in fact it pulls the PIT data from the phone rather than requiring you to point to one.
I can't get heimdall to work with my DC on either Mac or PC. Can't get Odin either. Others report success, though. YMMV.
Odin worked initially for me on my MacBook Air running Win7 in Parallels (powered USB hub too). Still trying to get Heimdall to work and on the MAC side.
hey guys am i suppose to re-part when using odin? i forgot and accidentally did it? i dont remember if i was suppose to or not.. if i wasent suppose to any suggestions?
If i'm not mistaken yes you doo.
i don't think so. i never repartitioned mine.
Kc1 yes... Dont think so on kg4... If you do, and you was not supposed to, you'll get the cant mount/format cache errors... Then you'll have to start all over eith kc1...
Unless someone wants to correct my wrongness...

No..im sure when u use Odin and load files if Odin checks re partion then dont uncheck it if.it doesnt check it then leave it alone

Assumption of resetting Odin between...
if its wrong, unable to mount cache, then its the other way when flash the GB.... 50/50 chance...
I didnt repartition on the kg4 kernel...

I think you only have to re partition when using a PIT file along with pda, csc etc. Otherwise, you leave that option unchecked.

This is correct. The option for repartitioning will check itself after the pit is selected.

Weird, I Odin kc1 then to Odin kd1..i get the unable to mount errors when repartitioned... Only when I Odin from kc1 to kd1 did I have this. Not from kd1 to kg4..

nopes . no need to partition while using ODIN AFAIK .
When using odin to return to stock, what are the three things you insert in the slots?
the pit, pda tar, and the phone tar
is this like the rom, and like the modem, and kernel?
or is the rom and kernel together and the other the modem?
just curious.
Depends on which package you're using.

in this case, what would these be, copied and pasted below.
6) Click the PIT button and choose infuse.pit (and make sure Re-Partition is checked)
7) Click the PDA button and choose PDA_UCKD5.tar.md5
8) Click the PHONE button and choose PHONE_UCKD5.tar.md5
Thats the ultimate unbrick..will take you back to complete stock

hey dman, I understand that but I am just asking what are those individual files I am plugging in to the slots in odin. I basically want to just get an understanding of what Im doing.
Like is the phone tar the modem file, and the pda tar like the rom?
and what is the pit? something that repartitions?
and a thanks to you also for the work you do, its much appreciated.
The one with all the files for the system and kernel ect are in the pda file if thats what your asking....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
yea thats basically what I wanted to know...so what do the pit and phone tar do when odin works?
thanks for your response.

Looks like it's just another way of flashing the ROM:

I have never sucessfully got heimdall to recognize the device, with windows or linux, can't say about mac. But I'll be watching this thread And hoping for an answer

I get an error too. Has anyone successfully used Heimdall to install the ICS leak? If so, could you please post your steps?
We need a pit to use it. The only problem is the pit does not exist. If anyone who used the .exe to flash sees a .pit file in the folder, please upload it.

I think your'e supposed to get the PIT off of the phone by using the utility menu in Heimdall.
Then again, it doesn't work for me, so who knows?
Has anyone been able to flash CWM with heimdall. V1.4RC1 will not detect devices on Lnux - Ubuntu 13.04
Bump! I have no idea how to do it and would really like to know.
