I'm trying to use full odin(1.7) to go back to stock an at&t captivate. I've used odin one click before without a problem, but i would like to do this with the full version of odin. I watched the tutorial video from the stickies in this forum.
I downloaded an odin+pit file I found here on xda. odin recognizes my phone, but when i go to pit I have three pit file choices(S1_odin_20100512.pit, S1_odin_20100513.pit, S1_odin_20100512.pit) and no matter which one I click, I cant find a rar file when I click pda.
I've now downloaded a couple of different rar files: I897UCJH7.rar, and I897UCJH2.rar
I dont know which one to use, or even if I'm choosing the right pit file.
the pit actually has no bearing on what file you are selecting in the pda section. unRAR the JH7 one and i bet there is a .tar file in there. thats what you need. the .tar

I don't use full odin very often but what I remember is use pit 512 in the pit box. The rar needs to be extracted and the extracted file will be a tar. That is what you would put in the pda box. And I have only used Odin 1.3. I have not heard of 1.7.

the 512 is the pit file you want. it has no bearing on the .tar file that you need.
Thanks for the help.I'll try that in the morning

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.
Regards
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)
btw, Happy 2013 all!

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.

Just wandering : what append if you would use PIT from 32Gb instead of 16 on a 16Gb tab?

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.
ALL THE BEST

These 2 XDA threads offer information on PIT files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=816449
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999097
Basically, I'd only ever use a PIT file if Odin threw up an error relating to it, 99% of the time these are not needed when using Odin unless you've screwed up your devices partitions.
It's handy to have this file saved as a backup though just in case that ever happened
okey i got it now, thanks it's really hepful :good::good::good:

How, a little more information would be nice?
What model did you use it on; T310, T311 or T315?
What options did you tick in ODIN?
I compared the same PIT file to one extracted with heimdall on my T310, all entries/contents were the same, it came from a T311 firmware package but T310 firmware packages also have the same file. T315 uses a different named PIT file hence why I was uncertain.
Just now I've even compared it to another PIT file off the SamMobile forums that a Moderator posted for the T310, everything is the same, ODIN will reject it if it isn't signed as well.
https://www.diffchecker.com/cta675hS
I didn't force you to use the file, nor was this a guide in anyway, your device must have been in a bad way for you to consider using it.
In any case I've now removed the file.
thanks a lot

Did that app provide you with the pit file or did it extract it from your device for you? Something seems to be not right about my device since I am unable to flash the XAR firmware but am able to flash others. So someone suggested that the partitioning might be off. To do that I need to find someone with a working pit file.

ugghhh I too need a non-screwed PIT because I think something's wrong with mine. One day it just failed to save files. Flashed the one ROM I could find but it has issues downloading from market for me so I think partitions are messed.

Hi
Can somebody help me? I need the pit file for my SM-P905M.
I updated its firmware to lollipop and I've been presenting several issues with it (have tested lot of variants) but now the problem is the internal memory. The internal memory works as expected initially but some days later (after wiping and flashing) locks as read only and the only working solution is wipe and install all over again. I've been reading about the problem and seems like the partition table is corrupted, so I hope any of you can help me with the PIT file to wipe and flash once again my tablet and make it work properly.
Thanks in advance... and sorry for the sloppy english (non-native).
