Hi everyone, I want to make a thread that will host PIT Files for any device capable. I already know how to make them using Heimdall, I would just like some assistance regarding how detailed the data should be for each PIT file.
For example, i have a "Galaxy Note (ATT GSM) SGH I717 quincyatt", lets say i created a PIT of the device, could someone else benefit and use that PIT for their SGH-I717?
Also would it matter what ROM I'm running when making a PIT (I make all my PITs on stock ROMs only), but lets say I'm running stock JZO54K.I717UCMD3, I make a PIT file and someone who needs the file for what ever reason is planing on pairing this PIT file to flash while flashing another ROM in Odin would that PIT file be incompatible, or are the ROM and PIT independent?
Any other helpful info would be appreciated, I've been reading up on PIT files throughout XDA and haven't really obtained conclusive knowledge, specifically on the questions I'm asking here.
what I ultimately plan to do is have device specific detailed list with links to PIT files per device, but i just want to know how specific the info per phone needs to be. Thanks in advance!
Ohh and one more thing, I've noticed LG and Sony devices use tools, similar to Odin, are PIT Files specific to Samsung (i know what PIT stand for), or can this info be pulled from other devices too? I think I remember getting partition data from one of my Motorola Droid phones way back by doing something similar, I'm not too sure though.

They are independent indeed, and pit is partitioning info which depends on device model only. So anyone with same model could use your .pit file with any ROM. And, besides, it is almost imposiible to find .pit file for i717 somewhere in internet so it would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone help me, I need to know how much GT-p3110 is compatible with GT-3113...?
I have a need for a .opt & .pit file, for GT-p3113 8gb. I have tried other forums, but with no luck in getting a verification email from them yet, as this process has been a couple of days and still waiting. My efforts are not at an all loss, as I have found my answers there, just not able to communicate with other members there, so...?
I have found this .pit file here, and this post has mentioned that is was working on an 8gb device, but just how compatible is this .pit file...???
Here is that .pit file by the way.

Would like a bump, as I am in need of this pit file as well.
What do you need this for exactly...?
Can you just find a Stock Rom, for your device and start from there...?
Again, what is the need for a .pit file..., there may be another work around, by just installing a Stock Rom and then re-root...
Sent from my GT-P3113 using XDA Premium HD app
I've been planning on gathering enough files to make a completely full system recovery in case I mess up my GP-P3110 really bad.
I have finally encountered the factory firmware for my gTab which is has the ZTO CSC but what I really had in mind was to be prepared for even the hard bricks. When it comes to my Galaxy S GT-I9000B all I need is the original fimrware (which I already have for the gTab) and a .pit file, but I have nothing else besides the original firmware for my gTab.
I came across this page (http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-2-7-0-p3110-root-clockworkmod-recovery-96473/) where there seems to be the .pit file for the P3110, but I'm not sure if it actually does the job. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, I was wondering what else I should have in order to bring my P3110 back from the dead, since someone said something about a .opt file also. What is it?
Thanks for the time!
My phone is not happy with me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999V 16gb on Wind Mobile (Canada).
I can only get it to boot to download mode. I can not reflash recovery. All attempts have failed.
I suspect I have a corrupt partition file.
I know playing with PIT files are a last resort, and I am now there.
I have just paid a local store $35 dollars, and they can't do anything with my phone. (I suspect they too are trying to track down the appropriate PIT file)
I have done a ton of searching, but have not had any luck.
Can anyone point me to the sgh-t999v 16gb pit file?
Thanks a ton!
:fingers-crossed:

If you have a T999V and are willing to help out, please see this post

It has some very easy instructions on how you can create a .pit file from your phone.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I have a Tab 2 7.0 8gb. Unfortunately I've had to write 'Unknown' for the Android version as I have no idea and no way of finding out, let me explain...
I bought this tab for £15 off someone who was convinced the battery had exploded due to the wrong charger being used. I thought it might be a fun project!
I couldn't get anything from it but I switched the battery for a new one and there was some life (when plugged in the battery icon comes up with the circle of lines but doesn't move).
I then found that although it wouldn't boot up it would go into download mode (but not recovery). So I tried to flash a stock ROM with Odin (done that quite alot on various devices) but it kept getting a write error and failing.
I went back to the guy who sold it to me for more info and he said he'd tried to flash a ROM before with odin and checked the Nand erase all box and it hadn't worked since then (he did tell me it was dead so not too annoyed!)
So I've tried various things with Odin but no luck, so I turned to Heimdall which I've used less but still have a bit of knowledge about it.
I kept getting errors during flashing there as well so I thought I'd try flashing the separate elements of the ROM using the frontend. The only problem is, whenever I unzip the ROM to a *.tar and then untar it with 7-zip the files I get aren't the ones listed in any of the guides for Heimdall. I've tried with a number of different roms and some files are similar but I don't get a file called zImage or a boot.bin file.
The files listed in the Heimdall guide are:
a. Zimage
b. FactoryFS.rfs
c. Param.lfs
d. Boot.bin
e. SBL.bin - not always included
f. cacher.rfs
g. dbdata
h. modem.bin - not always included
Here are the ones I get:
system.img
cache.img
hidden.img
recovery.img
boot.img (*.img not *.bin)
sbl.bin
param.lfs (in one ROM but not others)
Sorry if this is a simple thing and I'm being thick, but can anyone explain it to me?! Is system.img the same as zImgae or something? Also, any solutions to a brick that aren't on most of the forums would be appreciated!

try using a pit file with odin. im thinking it wouldnt have an error if you had the pit file.
to answer your question "what have i done?" it would seem, you changed things you didnt understand and didnt realize the consequences, resulting in a big @SS mess
dont do that
Like I said odin won't work because of unexpected partition layout.
I'm fully aware of the consequences however I will be the recipient
Of a Samsung galaxy note 4 next week so I was just experimenting
And I will definitely not be rooting that

ill just assume you dont know what a pit file is, and ill move on. good luck!
No need to assume, I'll be honest I've no idea what a pit file is or how to use one
Etc etc, however I'd be interested to learn if you can give me the basics, everybody has to start somewhere and the only way to progress is if people share the knowledge,
So what do you know that can help me??

go to your devices forum where the return to stock post is, and see if there is a pit file for whatever version you have. if not, try a search for pit over your general and q&a forums. im sure you will find some, just need to match them to the stock files.
on odin, there is a pit box, check it and link your pit file.
I'd just like to let you know I have managed to sort my phone out
I got a clockwork mod ,and now I'm using something called CyanogenMod
I'm not quite sure how I have managed to achieve this but I have my WiFi connected
to my phone again, Odin is installed and working with no unexpected partition layout
Problems, however my SD card won't mount and I can't seem to get Google playstore
But for now its a small price to pay considering where I was this afternoon. I think I've done well
I have ordered a new nand chip since the one in my current device is dead i'm wondering if anyone could make a pit file for me please as I believe ill need it to restore with odin
there is a guide on how to do so here
