[Q] PIT problems

I'm coming from a Galaxy S 4G I had loaded roms on all the time to an Infuse. I originally tried a heimdall one click that borked half way through. Now the phone won't cut on, but I can still get to download mode.
The problem now is I can't get ODIN to get to pass "Get PIT for mapping..." I got the package from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705260 which includes the PIT file, but even putting the files in the right slots on ODIN it gets to the same point and hangs indefinitely.
Like I've said, I've done roms in the past and I've bricked and unbricked my old Galaxy S 4G a number of times, but this has got me stumped. I'm looking for suggestions and/or tips.

A little more info: Coming from stock Froyo 2.2.1. ODIN messages up until it hangs:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> PDA_UCLB3_root.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> PHONE_UCLB3.tar.md5 is valid.

<ID:0/004> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
So obviously it tries to reset the PIT but when it calls back to it, nothing... The phone also responds to setting the PIT with a small fragment of the progress bar showing up but that's it.

Put the phone in DL mode and use this.......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610374
I picked Option C...and it worked for me...Good luck

Can't get into download mode. Tablet only shows a phone, a triangle and a computer...

I can't get download mode.
My tablet was off... when I turned on, was on a bootloop. I couldn't get into recovery, then I've enter into download mode. I tried to flash a stock rom, but odin failed.
Then I lost download mode and the tablet only shows a phone, a triangle and a computer.
When I plug to charger, doesn't shows the battery icon, but battery charges.
Maybe this is a brick?...
Thanks!

I might not be able to help but you can, can you let us know what ROM/recovery/what you were doing before you turned off your tab and anything else you can think of that may be relevant
Thanks

It's download mode with a different interface Reflash your Tab, use Odin.

I've installed cyanogen 10.1 RC without problems. The tablet worked fine. Then I plugged the tablet to charge. When I took again the tablet (after 10 hours more or less) it was off.
In this mode (triangle, computer, phone), I'm trying flashing a stock rom. Without pit file, odin fails saying "write error", and with pit file and repartion checkbox marked sais "there's no pit partition".
Only way to turn off the tablet is quitting the battery. When I put again the battery, the tablet still is off; but when I try to turn on/get into download mode/get into recovery... only shows the triangle, phone and computer screen...
I think that my galaxy tab is bricked... :crying:
Sorry about my bad english and thanks for your answers.

Try heimdall. Never tried by myself flashing system partition using it but work for recovery, boot, and param partition.

Try to go into download mode and flash a custom recovery using odin. I recommend CWM. Then try to go into recovery mode and wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and factory reset (NOTE: It will delete EVERYTHING and your tab will be like out of the box). Now try to boot into android, if android doesn't boots up then use odin to flash a custom rom or find a stock rom for your device and then your tablet should be fine.
Good luck :thumbup: and happy flashing .

Nothing...
I've tried Heimdall and doesn't detect my device. I've tried to install another one CWM and the same problem...
I've reinstalled the samsung drivers into 2 computers, differents usb ports... no recovery, no download mode and the charging icon (battery icon) doesn't appear (but charges).
I think my tab is dead... I don't know how more I can do it.
Thanks for the ideas

OK, first off, that screen is a FORCED DOWNLOAD MODE, it will happen for several reasons (usually a bad ROM flash), all you had to do was flash the stock .tar file via Odin.
Your first mistake was checking "repartition" in Odin, YOU NEVER EVER WANT TO DO THAT EVER, now since you didn't have a PIT hopefully it just cancelled out before doing anything bad. try reflashing in Odin with the stock ROM.
Heimdall will not work just because you have the drivers for Odin, infact Heimdall has it's own DRIVER that will override the Samsung driver Odin uses on the USB port (and usually any other USB on that stack) you connect the tablet to when you do the driver install step in Heimdall.
FYI, if you are on windows 8 there is a good chance you still can't do jack yet, to my knowledge windows 8 PC's are a no go for android ROM flashing.

The computers I've tried to flash with odin are with windows 8. But I flash my phone without problems...
Maybe with another windows version. I'll give a try this afternoon at home.
Thanks!!

I've only used Windows 8 for flashing so far and works perfectly fine in my experience

Trying with a pc on windows xp and the same situation... odin sais allways the same...
I've put a pit file that I found called "signed_espresso_20120220_16G.pit". I can't remember if I used another time... I'm not sure. But this last time I use it.
Could I do something more??...

YOU shouldn't EVER use a PIT file in Odin, especially if your not even sure it's the right one, using an incorrect PIT file can totally screw up your device.
The ONLY time you could ever need a PIT file is if you flashed a ROM that changed the format of the partition tables (like rfs to mtd or bml) which to my knowledge non of the ROM for these tablets do that.

Hrmmm... Have you tried to see if Samsung Kies can do anything about it?
I mean, really. Your system partition is corrupt so i doubt it can detect anything.
As a last resort could you open up the tab and pull out the battery? Or even let the battery completely run out?

I've already pulled out the battery many times. Letting the tab without battery at least 1 hour... 1 day... and when I plug it and try to access to download mode... only the same screen (triangle, phone and computer).

[Q] [HELP] GT-N8013 - Soft Bricked(ODIN MODE ONLY)

GT-N8013
Blue/Gray
16GB Wifi Only Model
I was watching a youtube video, my tablet froze for an hour, died, then I let it charge and it rebooted into the samsung logo. After that it decided to go white screen and goes to a white screen every time it's booted. I've been trying to resolve this on my own with various resources for about a month now.
I can get to ODIN mode no problem, but I can't flash anything. I have recently bought a new OEM Samsung USB cable and tried multiple versions of ODIN on two different machines. Directly connected to the motherboard and not USB 3.0 ports.
I think the solution to my problem may be answered:
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268735
or
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713297
It is hard for me to comprehend the English used in the first link as I think Authors first language is not English. I think what he is saying is that if ODIN is not working then you have to flash the PIT file via adb and a SD card, but I cannot access Recovery, and I don't recall fully how to use ADB in Downloading Mode, if that's possible at all. He also states I may need to downgrade my bootloader version based on the last ROM that I had on my tablet. If someone could educate me on that I'd appreciate it.
The 2nd link says I need the stock firmware for my country(I live in the U.S. of A.) and to nand erase all but I feel like that should be used as a last resort. I did download both N8013UEALI3(4.0.4) & N8013UEUCMI3(4.1.2) from sammobile.com though.
When I try to flash just a Recovery/ROM, with Autoreboot checked, I get the PIT error message below:

Any assitance would be greatly appreciated, I've been without my tablet for a month now. I have any backup, I don't recall the ROM I flashed because it was so long ago, but I'm pretty sure the version was Jellybean. I know my recoevry was one of the later CWM TouchScreen Rom recoverys but I can't recall the version. Thanks for any help, please let me know what information I'm lacking or what I can do, thank you all for your time.

Update
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have tried to different PIT files for the PIT mapping and they both failed. Getting pretty desperate now. I can't even NAND Erase All, I gave that a shot and it failed:
When I select NAND Erase All, stock rom(4.0.4 or 4.1.2), Pit, & Re-Partition checked, Nand Erase all Checked, I get the following in ODIN 3.07 and 3.09:

I'm starting to think its the ECCM and maybe I need a JTAG repair. Like I said before, I can't get into recovery, I just get a all white screen. When the tablet first died I got the Samsung logo and then it rebooted and went White, I never got the Samsung logo again. Any help please? Even if it's just recommendations for trusted JTAG repair sites, because I don't trust the ones I've found ths far. Or know PIT files that have worked for flashing on the N8013. Anything at all.

BUMP
I found this article here: http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23562
Exact same problem I am having, I think I'm going to need a JTAG repair. I just posted a request to get some fresh PIT files from multiple android versions. I ill keep posting updates on how this is going, I feel alone in this issue since no one has said anything but I get multiple views...but I see more and more people are starting to post in the help section for this particular brand of tablet in the past 3-5months, it sounds terrible but I'm glad I'm not alone since I feel like im talking to myself here.
Just contacted Mobiletechvideos guys, I hope they are legit. I'm will to pay $50 for a jtag repair if i can have this tablet back.

I've tried to use both ODIN & Heimdall. All files are failing for me. I tried stock 4.0.4 & 4.1.2 Roms, 3 different PIT files, I even tried to NAND erase all with a stock rom and ODIN continues to fail for me. I installed a virutal box on multiple machines running XP SP3 since windows 7/8 weren't working for me as well, that failed as well. When I try to flash the PIT files I get the output from ODIN in my OP, nothing is working for me. I'm just thinking I experienced instant death on this tablet for no reason at all. The most success i've had is with Heimdall just being able to reboot the tablet for me and then go back to Downloading mode, but nothing else is responding for me.
I'f I can get some fresh pit files from fully operational devices I will know that I've done everything I can excluding JTAG repair myself. If I can't get some fresh PIT files from multiple android versions, then I might just have to send it to the Mobiletechvideos guys to see if they can repair.
Thanks for the reply and interest in my issue!

To download a copy of your PIT all you have to do is install Heimdall, with zadig driver (Samsung/General Device) , boot your tablet into Download mode, and download a copy of your PIT by going to Heimdall Frontend, clicking utilites, and downloading and saving your PIT to your desktop(or where ever you want) and uploading it for me.
Heimdall can be found here: http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
After you are down with Heimdall, make sure you uninstall the driver from "Device Manager" in your USB Devices, that way, you can use ODIN again. A;; of this should only take about 5-10mins, as all the files are really small. i really appreciate this.

Thank you for this post, that helps me alot, it appears it is beyond recovery via ODIN at this point. Thank you for taking the time to compare your PIT to the previous one. I will wait for Mobiletech to contact me back and post an update from there.

onlysafonne, I have the same problem. I can use Odin and get to CWM but nothing I flash will get me past the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 image I cannot even get it to shut off. It will go black then power right back up.
I have flashed with Nand Erase All checked only
KIES_HOME_N8013UEUCMI3_N8013XARCMI3_813049_REV00_u ser_low_ship.tar
Any ideas? I have not heard of JTAG

I have a N8010 and I'm also in this kind of bootloop.
Nothing works.
I had OmniRom 4.4.4 installed and the newest TWRP.
I only can get into Download Mode.
When I try to get into Recovery the blue TWRP Screen pops up for a second and then it's going back to "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" Logo.
I even tried to disassemble the battery. But this didn't work either.
Any ideas what I can do? If not, I'll have to take it to repair. Got some warranty left, but I rather fix it myself.
Thanks

have you tryed to odin install your firmware? usally the bootloop is caused because you need to do a factory reset to get rid of (in your case OmniRom 4.4.4) your firmware as I see is http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/31427/N8010XXUDNE4_N8010BTUDNF1_BTU.zip/

Yes, I did try that. Is still in bootloop afterwards. I also tried to flash stock recovery or cwm recovery. But there is still twrp.
I can't open your link :-/

try this N8010 recovery with the included 3.07 odin put in PDA slot and do no check re-partiton look at picture
@Flying_Phil
yes samfirmware is picky go here and search your N8010 you most likly need to signup (it's free) and as you see most odin updates or "home" which means it does not do a factory reset which is ok if your updating a stock unrooted rom so you need to do a factory reset when coming from a custom rom.

well I tried to flash your attached file. Odin said "Pass!" but my Tablet still does the bootloop.
Like I said, I tried to flash several firmwares. All with this same result. First I tried the German version, then the Austrian and the Australian.
Now yours was the version for new zealand.
I have no clue, why this doesn't work.
Here is the log from Odin and I attached a screenshot.

well I tried to flash your attached file. Odin said "Pass!" but my Tablet still does the bootloop.
Like I said, I tried to flash several firmwares. All with this same result. First I tried the German version, then the Austrian and the Australian.
Now yours was the version for new zealand.
I have no clue, why this doesn't work.
Here is the log from Odin and I attached a screenshot.

sorry, I forgot to tell about it.
Yes I tried to go into Recovery, but there ist still TWRP on it and it still crashes after a second.
I even tried the flash without checking "Auto reboot", so I could boot directly into recovery, but it worked neither.

[Q] S6 Bricked??

Hey all,
So yesterday I rooted using PingPong root, went fine, didn't trip Knox etc etc.
Installed Lucky Patcher, ended up getting the "out of space" error when trying to install apps so done a factory reset.
Get up to the point when setting the phone up and it just hung at "Just a sec...", no matter what I done, nothing changed. So I downloaded official Samsung firmware from sammobile and that's where I'm stuck now. Odin has been sitting at "NAND write start!!" for about ten minutes, nothing is happening.
Any advice at all? Pulling my hair out, the phone is only a week old.

I forgot to mention, did try that briefly earlier but the download got stuck on 0%, left it maybe 5 mins. Any way I can use the downloaded firmware with smart switch?
Also, phone is now stuck at the downloading screen lol, how the hell do I turn the thing off?!
EDIT: NVM, got it turned off, will try smart switch again.
EDIT 2: Smart switch is actually downloading the firmware this time, panic over! Cheers for your help.

Ur welcome

Ive just found the reason why...
i forgot to turn off reactivation lock... when i disabled it, flashing was succesfull afterwards

Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8020 'Downloading... Do not turn off target!!'

HI there.
I have had the GT-N8020 for around two years on contract with a major provider here in Australia.
My wife used it mostly over that time. Myself, I only realised how great a piece of hardware that it is only in the last couple of months since she now has an S5. I have claimed it daily, lighter than my laptop.
It is out of warranty. Samsung has organised a courier to pick it up, I just have to ring courier.
I asked for a costing as it is out of warranty. No reply on that. We will fix it. I have no doubt in that. But at what cost? The lady did not give an answer even after asking a couple of times. That in itself rings alarm bells. Anyway, VOIP, lag and language barriers, very frustrating. I was transferred from my phone provider to Samsung technical support. I did not ring Samsung directly.
I do not wish to send my device away to be fixed if I can fix it myself. I have been wanting to mess with Linux on the device at some point anyway. So here is my opportunity. I am not sure if I can recover my data that is on the tablet which at this point seems impossible.
What have I done so far?......
Researched a bit and ended up here on XDA. Read “Root & Recovery Install Guide” on here.
I a not sure which ODIN N8020 firmware I need, 'touch, ohne touch or stock. The links are dead anyway for my firmware. Could you recommend another location to get usable firmwares.
I installed the USB drivers
Installed Odin3 v1.85 – cycling power I can see my device being added and removed from the log window. All good there
Installed Kies – no version recognises my device
Installed SmartSwitchPC – did not recognise my device
I downloaded SuperSU v2.67
I have left the tablet to go completely flat and turn off. I then plugged in the charger which immediately brings back the Downloading nag screen. Grrrrr.
Will the tablet still charge if left plugged in?
If it cannot charge then sending it away might be my only option.
Are firmwares country specific or can I use any compatible one?
I am hoping it fully charges. When I plug it into the USB port the device will turn off after a few minutes, as it is still low power. Not sure if it can charge via USB. Currently left tablet plugged into charger, tablet is showing the green Android 'Downloading' nag screen.
In ODIN MODE
Product: GT-N8020
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
RP SWREV: A2
Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 white colour. 4G and wifi 16gb.
I am unable to get into recovery mode as there is NO 'Home' button on the note 10.1.
I am pretty sure it had 4.4.2 on it.
Thanks
Lee

Ok I found an Australian OPS - Optus firmware.
I flashed the file using Odin and it seems my device has no PIT partition.
There is no PIT partition! eep I guess this is why it stopped booting in the first place.

EDIT: Found a PIT file but still have the same issue of no PIT partition.
Tried different versions of Odin with the same result.
Edit2: JTAG - another option I would consider. Researching but any advice is welcome.
Thanks
