Samsung Mesmerize; SCH-i500; Rooted stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread with Busybox!
I really don't know how I got to this point, I've flashed w/ Odin so many times now, that I have no idea if the above is still where I'm at but here goes the problem:
I turn on my phone and it doesn't even show the Samsung logo, just goes directly to the Samsung Recovery Utils with #MANUAL MODE# displayed at the bottom of the screen.
"reboot system now"
again, reboots into the same recovery mode (Samsung...)
"apply sdcard:update.zip"(after returning to the main screen):
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
"wipe data/factory reset":
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
(Invalid arguement)
E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount HIDDENSDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
"wipe cache partition": works fine though
I know this has been asked before but I haven't found any other posts about the Samsung Mesmerize SCH i500 & I'm not sure if this is model specific & don't really want to take my chances, sorry.
Ok, update: I just used Odin to reflash to rooted 2.3.4 & it still goes to recovery mode (Samsung) & all the options are the same (w/ the same results) as above, I can't get my sdcard to show on my computer to manually apply the update, unless there is a way I don't know of, the only way I know requires me to be on the phone's Main Menu & use the notification drop-down menu to activate transfer mode on my computer, what am I missing?
Now I used Odin again, this time to put ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.0 on it & now it booted up in CwM Recovery mode but I still get the same error when trying to apply the update (see above)
Trying to "- mount USB storage":
E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
I just want to format the whole thing, phone & sdcard, & start over from scratch as though I had just bought the phone.
Ok, for future reference, if anyone has a problem like this, unless you find another solution, this is what I did:
I downloaded a rooted stock 2.2 Froyo, ran Odin & just put the SCH-I500_USCC_EA11_REL_ROOT.tar.md5 in the PDA part & flashed it, it went to the recovery screen again at boot up but, after selecting Reboot it went right to the phone splash screen, so, I guess I'm back in business but I haven't tested anything yet, I'll update this post to keep you all in the loop, wish me luck.
It would seem that I can get wifi but I don't have a carrier or 3G, as far as I can tell, its become no more than an iPod Tough (just having wifi access) I can, however, now access the sdcard, when I plug the USB cablein it asks if I want Samsung Kies or Mass storage.
I don't know
Download and unzip the linked file. Place the tar file in the PDA slot and the pit file in the PIT slot. Make sure repartition is checked and the flash. This should get the phone booting again.
http://db.tt/fOG2Lf6
Once this is done download and unzip the linked file. Do the exact same thing. Place the tar file in PDA and the pit file in PIT. Make sure repartition is NOT checked and flash. This should have you booting into EH09 without issue.

Worked great, thank u very much, started off w/ the signal bars at full but wouldn't make any outgoing calls or send any messages but I could receive messages (text), every time I tried to make a call it kept giving me a recording, something about "To make a collect call please enter the are code and phone number of the person you are trying to call...." so I type the number & it responds w/ something "....the number you are trying to call cannot be billed..." "...to make a phone call w/ a pre-paid card or a credit card..." so I just entered the US Cellular activation # & I was back in business!
ok so after this!
After i do this (Hopefully it works) then could i use ODIN to flash the pre rooted 2.3 rom? or not?
Once done with those instructions you will be on EH09. Odin a recovery and flash the below linked file. It will root it for you.

Any chance you could relink those? I'm in the exact same boat.
Is there anyway I can get those links? When I click them it say's they're expired or something...

Switch off your phone, hold volume up+power+home button and let go of power button only. Then wipe data and reboot

I will try when i have time and if i have no opportunity left...because with re-partition i guess i will for sure lose my data ty anyway for answers, just remembered now that "clicking thanks button is better then saying thanks" so here i go thank u all
Yep, you'll lose data.
ok..
I have wiped all datas and the phone booted, ty....but now i see i only have an older version of the firmware 2.3.4 and XXKPH but no root acces...so how can i flash my phone in order to have root access?
Yo guys, again a problem....i have finally flashed my phone to XXLE4....i flashed it twice in order to get it rooted aftet with vf root, so i downloaded the rooting file from here http://www.mediafire.com/?07jdblow193h1jw i guess i chose the right version (it is for XXLE4)...so after geetting xle4, i flashed that file for rooting and now phone keeps on rebooting randomly after very few seconds it is booted....wtf
.-.
Ok the issue is kind of solved....im now sure that is the cf-root file which leads the phone to keep on rebooting...now i flashed again the XXLE4 and everything is cool....ill try out rooting with superoneclick....still if u have have suggestion it is welcomed of course cheers:fingers-crossed:
bad news
Ok with SuperOneClick i cant update it.....these are the last strings where the error is:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system > /data/local/tmp/output 2>&1
export TEMPRANDOM=76636
export PS1=END:$TEMPRANDOM;cat /data/local/tmp/output

look, if your firmware has only 1 file.. then no need..
but then, you'll have to first flash a firmware which has 4 firmware files... for doing that flash pit file and then the firmware files..
then to flash the rom with only 1 firmware file, in PDA select that one file and flash..
huh?

Hi All
I have searched and searched but can not find a 32GB PIT file for my GT-P5100 (obviously 32GB version).
I need this since I was stupid enough to use a 16GB version while flashing (I know, was pretty stupid hey?)
The tab works 100% with 4.1 JB, just minus 16GB worth of storage!
Can ANYONE please let me know where to find a 32GB version partition file? (the Sammobile site only has 8GB and 16GB)
- OR can I use another type Samsung Tab PIT file?
Thanks for ANY help...
EDIT: This is solved, read on to see some epic assistance!
Hi. Did you use a PIT file when you flashed the ROM? If not, then I think you don't need one to put back your original partitioning neither - just try to flash back the original ROM (if you made a backup), or a ROM from the Development section which is exactly for the P5100 32GB. At least that's what I would try, as using PIT file is very risky, especially from a different device model.
What ROM did you flash btw? If it's a custom ROM, you could also ask the developper for a solution.
UNless you actually flashed a PIT file or checked off the repartition flag in oDIN then nothing should have affected your storage layout.

Thanks for the help, I however did use the PIT file (still not sure why I did!) I also went back to the original ROM to see if somehow this would help. The Tab works without any issues, just partitioned to 16GB
I flashed with official rom, XXCLI5
oh, then I think you're right, using the original PIT file would be the best option... (unless there are system commands that allow repartitioning, but I couldn't find anything).
here you find some explanations about the PIT files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999097
then you might want to check this post, it gives a lead for a solution (even two - someone with unmodified partitions extracts for you the original pit file of the tablet, OR use this PIT file editor ):

Hi
I have a pit file for you because I have the same problem. To make a long story short I retrieved it from a working 32GB p5100. I varified the PIT file by using PIT Magic to compare it to the 16GB version. Unfortunately for some reason I cannot get odin to partition my P5100 with this PIT file. I assure you it is the correct file. See if you can use ODIN to install this file. If you are unsure if it is the correct file download pit magic PIT_Magic_v1.3.10_Release to varify.
Pit file attached !!!!!! Used txt to upload. rename type to pit
See if you have any luck repartitioning your internal SD. I think that if we can find the correct stock rom the re-partitioning will be possible.
If you can get this pit file to do what it is supposed to let me know. In the meantime at least we have the correct PIT file.

John S A
Thanks guys, will try this PIT and keep you posted...

For interest, what Odin version are you using? I tried with 1.87
Also looked at the PIT file in PIT Magic, as you mentioned it does look ok. (LOOKS ok, I also compared this with the 8gb and 16 gb versions)

This PIT file really works!!! A great thanks to author. But, for it became work you need modify it. First, you need to change file ext from .txt to .pit. Next, open this file by any hex-editor (i used HxD editor for this purposes) and remove all zeros in the end of file (C6 D6 48 F6 must be last bytes in the file). Save file and answer YES in change file size dialog. Now size of file should be 2132 bytes. Now You can use this file by ODIN with repartition option checked. After programming You must to boot into recovery mode (power on with volume down buttons) made swipe\factory and swipe\cache. Now space goes back.
I tested this half our ago on my P5100 which I was programmed with 16GB pit.

Here is the working pit file zipped after the input from the "RUSSIAN WIZZARD"
USE ODIN 3V1.7
STEPS
UNZIP ATTACHED ZIP P5100_32GB modded.zip
LAUNCH ODIN
SELECT PIT, SELECT REPARTITION, SELECT ROM OF YOUR CHOICE.
DESELECT REBOOT
UNPLUG AND REBOOT MANUALLY AFTER ROM COMPLETION BY HOLDING IN POWER AND VOLUME DOWN INTO RECOVERY MODE
DO FACTORY RESET
YOUR P5100 SHOULD NOW BE A 32GB TAB AGAIN.

I played with few (official) firmwares and after initializing my device using smart switch, I can no longer return to my original firmware. It's turns out that the initialization through smart switch used a pit file with very little place for "hidden.img"
Every firmware with above average hidden partition fail with odin.
Where can I get pit file for my location or even better - full firmware with pit included?
Thanks in advance
Sammobile?

Same problem here.any help?
Hi
we meet again
I found this firmware
http://www.gsmforum.ru/threads/221072-G920F-(Galaxy-S6)?
it contains pit with 100MB for hidden.img
I downloaded but haven't flashed yet,
too many flashed in the last couple of days.
edit:
just compared the 100mb pit with the one currently on my phone using this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916936
the differences are - larger hidden.img in expense of userdata
Thread moved to proper forum.

Hi
That kinda make sense to me.cause before i flash a european rom with pit file i had less user data i don't remember exactly but it was like 200mb less.
Would u share that new pit with larger hidden.img?i mean just the pit.i will test that and share the resault here
I can still flash one or two more roms.
Have fun

How do you do that?
If you're on windows - download 7zip and make a new tar with all the files from original firmware+the pit file
ok,just double checking to make sure i do not make any more mistakes.i should put the pit file here right?
Yes
------------------------------
when you choose to add files to archive
just select in archive format - tar

If you prefer, you can do it in another way
download this file
https://mega.co.nz/#!oJF1nAAS!bHpoSXEiBBLLYtj4HYQZUDvCcvLwUUgNin3wJLeT3eI
flash it (and only it) as csc
reboot again to download mode and flash XSG (original - without added pit)
Very Nice Thanks for the INFO. :good:
I only want to know why PIT can brick your device?

Hello all!
This is my first tutorial here, hope to be useful as it was for me. After several attempts and extense research mainly here in XDA I finally achieved to downgrade my SM-G920I from 7.0 to 6.0.1 even with secure boot enabled.
The basics: Using a chilean stock 6.0.1 ROM:
- I've extracted all files from the stock rom and repacked it as 4 files without sboot.bin Instructions here: forum DOT gsmhosting DOT com/vbb/f777/tutorial-create-samsung-4-file-multi-firmware-your-own-100-a-1860706/- I've used a PIT default file for my model and region from here: sammobile dot com/forum/threads/30173-galaxy-S6-G920-pit-files
The instructions are the usual, Using Odin 3.12, flash the files into their respective slots and select the PIT file into PIT tab also. In options disable auto reboot and check re partition.
Download link in progress, but you can DIY with the instructions before.
downgrade issue can you give me the PIT file for sm-g920f please

Have you downloaded a 6.0.1 stock rom for your model and then followed my instructions?
PD: The FRP for your device in on the second link mentioned before.
There is easier way ,after extracting delete all .bin (aboot cache hidden and something else cant remember)then repack using 7zip to the originat format u will notice that the new archive is bigger it's about 3.6 gb inside there is data,system and some other files flash the new archive with odin and thats all ,worked fine t mobile g920t downgrading from nougat to mm

Yes, you are right. Using 7zip is a lot easier.
Will work on Att version G920A with locked bootloader on 7.0? I've been researching 2 days to see about downgrading it 6.0.1 while taking least chances as possible. If answer is yes, when repackaging should I remove md5 extension on all 4 files?
Thanks

Just select the file and compress them using normal compression in options ,maybe the problem is with your version of odin
