I wish to know the answer for that too please .
I know, as a user of i9100 ( galaxy s II ) that one can flash, using Odin, a PIT file - and can change the hole structure of the partitions on the device ( system. preload, data etc...).
For the i9100, I use the guide & PIT files from that thread .
*** IMPORTENT NOTE: DO NOT flash a PIT from i9100 on your i9105/P !!! ***
What I guess is needed to be done is as follows:
1. get a PIT file from your device USING THAT PROGRAM
2. Edit the PIT file using "PIT MAGIC" from HERE - a good hints on how to change the file my be found on this thread.
3. ensure 100% that the changes made to the PIT file are correct - cuz flashing a modded PIT file CAN BRICK the phone.
4. use the correct Odin version for your device ( search in xda for that ) to flash the Pit to your phone, after booting the phone to "download" mode and connecting it with USB cable.
5. boot into recovery and wipe advanced EVERYTHING except external-SDcard.
6. install any compatible ROM ( e.g. if /preload was made smaller to 45mb - then you can't install stock based roms )

The BIG step us, i9105/P owners need to do, is getting the right PIT file and mod it correctly.:angel:
That step is a hell of job...so common - who can help ?

Can anyone Bring a pit with More space
i find this : (pit-editor)

<KANE>How to make i9003 straight flash pack (system embedded cf-root, ext4, deodex)

<KANE>How to make i9003 straight flash pack (system embedded cf-root, ext4, deodex)
Most of the theme is zip format and flash with CWM,but so many people still don't know how to made the zip.So I make one tutorials for the people who don't know (EX:CF-Root,ext4,deodex and bla bla bla)
1.First,wipe data and cache
2.Flash the rom that you want via odin
3.Flash CF-Root(UC kernel also can)via odin
4.Open CWM,flash the deodex(zip)(how to make?google search )
5.When you want to convert you system to ext4 format,backup your rom via CWM firstAfter backup finnish,back to main menu,flash the ext4 format file(zip),restore the rom,than your system are fully convert to ext4 format!
6.After finnish first 5 step,use ADB tool
7.Go to wireless and network/USB setting,select "mass storage" ,and then Open "USB debugging" at applications/development ,open CMD(computer)
type “adb shell” and then connect to computer via USB,press enter,and than type
"dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/system.rfs bs=4096" then system.rfs will copy to internal SDcard(The system.rfs copy at here is included cf-root,ext4 and deodex)
8.Package it need to use linux system(Virtual Machine also can),at least linux 6 or Ubuntu 10
only linux 6 or above support ext4 format system file! If the version lower than 6 that the system.rfs cannot be mount
9.If you want further modify system.rfs, use terminal,type
mount:mount -o loop system.rfs /root/system/
unmount:umount /root/system/
note:(the path above is me own use! I create folder at / , switch to my new file directory, execute this command!
mount before modify,then after unmount it can be save
10.Package it ,must be add boot.bin Sbl.bin param.lfs normalboot.img system.rfs modem.bin and cache.rfs of the original rom,only can flash with this
now we need to cover the system.rfs with after modify one
Cover the normalboot.img in CF-ROOT into it.And cover the cache.rfs with after convert to ext4 one,and add userdata.rfs file
(you can get the cache.rfs and userdata.rfs at attachment, all rom also can use it!)Now you can package it
go to terminal with linux,cd Command change to the folder you create before this, put the boot.bin Sbl.bin param.lfs normalboot.img(cf-root one) system.rfs(modify one) modem.bin cache.rfs(cover one) userdata.rfs(add one)to the folder
Execute the command "tar cf PDA.tar boot.bin Sbl.bin param.lfs normalboot.img system.rfs modem.bin cache.rfs userdata.rfs" to package it!
PDA.tar is the file after synthesis ,and you can add other file if you want
11.And then copy the PDA.tar to desktop,flash with odin!dont forget to flash with pit file!Why must use pit file and userdata.rfs? Because pit file and userdata.rfs will re-partition and reset all user data ! So all version also can flash the zip file and no need to rely on other versions(pit can get at attachment)!
If it is not very good please tell me! Thanks for your support!
Hopes:
1.most of the XDA people are very pro,and I hope you can make a tutorials when you make a new thing
2.At china,so many people use I9003,so many people at XDA too!!so we hope when you create a new thing can add chinese!
(only hope,not force you!thank you!)
Wow i was sear hing just this in all the forum!! Thanks!!

Hello Kane, if i understood you, with this procedure i can make a PDA.tar file to flash with ODIN but i also need a pit file althaugh it's a single file. Am i wright?
I could use this method to get a full pda.tar with the firmware i am looking for (i mean, if i get an i9003 phone with that firmware)?
I will explain myself:
recently i poste this question in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20360464#post20360464:

Hi people, i'm looking for the firmware UBKPD (2.3.6) wich is the one that is the update from UBKB1 (2.2.1) by kies in Argentina. I would like to get the official and unbranded, but in the official roms threads of sammobile or sampro.pl it didn't appear yet (like the XXKPQ in sammobile).
If anyone get it or if is possible to get it from Samsung i would be pleased.
On the other hand, if anyone can tell me if it's possible to extract it from a updated phone and to make a .tar file to flash to others it would be helpful also.
Thank you very much in advance.

If i get a phone with the UBKPD firmware, can i make a "UBKPD_PDA.tar" file? What else do i need to put it in my phone (i got now intalled the XXKPQ)? Should i flash it over XXKPE (ginger, 4 files) or mi old official froyo (UBKB1)?
Thank you very much in advance. Greetings from Argentina.
HI,luiseteyo!Steps should be so!
put the “boot.bin” “Sbl.bin” “param.lfs” “normalboot.img”(cf-root one) “system.rfs”(modify one) “modem.bin” “cache.rfs”(cover one) “userdata.rfs”(add one)to a new folder, then go to terminal with linux,use "cd" Command change to this folder and type :
"tar cf PDA.tar boot.bin Sbl.bin param.lfs normalboot.img system.rfs modem.bin cache.rfs userdata.rfs"
hi,Uan_ar
yes,u need a pit file..it can be found everywhere lol
sure,there is no doubt that u can make a "UBKPD_PDA.tar" file use this method..and u can flash it over every rom
i just wan to say about the ugly typesetting...= - =
and it's nice ... good job...haha

OOkey, now I understood. But one more thing. I put the device in debugging mode and massive also. I conect it, I open cmd, I write the location of the adb with:
Code:
C:\Users\***\Desktop\ADB
Then I type:
Code:
adb shell
and then the code to backup system.rfs, but it does nothing in the phone and nothing in the cmd, do I have to wait? Thank you very much!!
EDIT: I answer myself. You have to wait despite it doesn't say nothing. The system.rfs backup is in the internal card (in my case)

Thank you very much Kane. I don't have any difficulties to find the pit, as you said is everywhere. However, my question was made in base that i never used pit when flashing just one pda.tar file.
What happens if i don't add the userdata.rfs? this pda.tar will work also on any other phone? which is te data that goes there? I´m asking you this because i don´t need/want the data from other phones (personal data, imei, etc.) i just want try to make a flashable update firmware for all the argentinian android i9003 comunity.
thanks again, and again
Interesting and useful. I thing the next link is useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132724
userdata.rfs must be added, when the district needs it! Any ROM like this!
After connecting phone, enter the command directly in the CMD adb shell, do not brush into the ADB!

[PIT File] - Whit a big HIDDEN partition to all Rom's. XEO_OXX, DBT_DBT and UK_VFG

GOOD NEWS
NO MORE NEED THIS PIT FILE FOR BIG HIDDEN, (for now):
Because have Members that notice have flashed UK Rom's Multi.CSC VFG after flash the Germany DBT Pit file, I tried the same:
After a full wipe I flashed this Pit file attached and link. After I have installed a XXUENB4 VFG TCL Rom that have a hidden file = 86.661 KB.
The install work well without hidden issues, no "FAIL! (Size)". Work well whit a HIDDEN partition whit Block Count = 204.800.
I renamed it because inside PIT partition we have Flash FileName = MSM8974.pit like we can see here:
Identifier: 71 <- Partition Number
Attribute: 5
.............
Partition Name: PIT
Flash FileName: MSM8974.pit
Here the DBT Pit file: https://meocloud.pt/link/4ebb315a-867c-4469-bfdf-c234ca9f4d1e/PIT-File-DBT+VFG-UK-MSM8974.zip/
This Pit file is for Note3's from 32 GB, may be to more also, not tried.
Good work whit this Pit File
==================================================
:good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:
==================================================
OLD METHOD CONTINUE HERE LIKE BACKUP:
PIT File whit a biggest HIDDEN partition to flash all Rom's. XEO_OXX.csc, DBT_DBT.csc and UK ROM's_ VFG.csc.
We have on first Kikat to Note3 N9005, the leaked Rom OXXUENA6, the next Pit file: CSC_Signed_HLTE_EUR_OPEN32G_0718.pit.
I analyzed it whit PIT Magic. It have a big HIDDEN partition whit Block Count = 471.070 ( From XEO rom it is = 20.480 <file size=8.441 KB>, from DBT Rom after have flashed the Germany DBT pit file it is = 204.800 <file size=53.125 KB> and from UK_VFG Rom's the file size is 86.661 KB).
If we flash a ROM DBT or UK VFG whit the partition from 20.480 we have this fail in Odin:
.....
system.img.ext4
modem.bin
cache.img.ext4
hidden.img.ext4
FAIL! (Size)
TESTING THIS PIT FILE:
After full wipe data + cache + dalvik and format system on mount and storage on costumer recovery...
I flashed this PIT File alone on Odin 3.09, ticked Re-Partition, and not ticked Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time.
Power off and new Download Mode to flash a new Rom, first from 20.480. At first reboot it had bootloop on Samsung logo.
New Power off and Download Mode to flash the Customer Recovery kk(0125) from Chenglu. This recovery can't mount the sdcard (I had pull out the ExtSdCard after make to it a backup from the Internal Sdcard). Then, I not had sdcard.
In my opinion the big HIDDEN partition from this pit file was need expand your size using internal storage space, Then, deleted the sdcard partition and your content.
Solution:
On Customer Recovery, Mount and Storage, format /data and /data/media (/sdcard). Not had sdcard but the space was there.
Reboot on recovery and good, now the Rom started well.
And to try, (always after full wipe before) I flashed the DBT NB7, rooted it to see the /efs/imei/mps_code.dat. The DBT was here. Good install.
Flashed also after, the Portugal (Vodafone) NB4 Rom TCL (That not have TCL but ATL from Spain by default, like problem from XEF Rom's) and flashed well. No issues in Odin "hiden.img.ext4 -> FAIL! (Size)" like before. Rooted also and on /mps_code.dat ATL now. Good install also.
After my try's I have decided to not attach here this PIT file.
It have some dangers and change the Knox flag to 0x1, because the need to flash a Customer Recovery (For me no problems, I have my 0x1 from begin).
May be You have that leaked Rom NA6 on Your Pc like me. If not, You can download it from SamMobile, it is always there. (Search, write on white box top right, Leaked Rom N9005 and You see it).
On that leaked are two, only the _0718.pit have a big HIDDEN. The _0805.pit have a small HIDDEN.
THIS IS ONLY ONE IDEA.
If You want try this...
PS: My Note3 work well whit that big HIDDEN partition and I must not have more hidden issues in future Rom's.
Like the pit say this is for Note3 from 32GB only.

This is the Tool that I use to analyze the Pit files, I never created any.
Attached the PIT Magic analyze from CSC_Signed_HLTE_EUR_OPEN32G_0718.pit. Identifier is Partition Number.
You see on HIDDEN partition the Block Count = 471.070. Big enough to all hidden files.
You see also on partition PIT the Flash FileName: MSM8974.pit. Then that name CSC_S... usually work but I prefer rename it always to MSM8974.pit like the partition PIT like, to flash by Odin. Whit this name I'm sure that it work well.
Identifier: 71
Attribute: 5
..........
Partition Name: PIT
Flash FileName: MSM8974.pit

NO MORE NEED THIS BIG PIT FILE, (for now):

Well, the NB5 Rom's have a Hidden file from 7.865 KB only. It's sure to 16 GB because the smaller to 32 GB is 8.441 GB like on XEO Rom to Poland.
The Pit file from here is only to Germany DBT Rom's, having a hidden file = 53.125 KB and to UK VFG-csc Rom's having a hidden file = 86.661 KB.
You not have need to flash the Pit file. But now You are alright to try DBT and UK VFG Rom's.

I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device after using this guide
Use at your own risk!​
CREDITS to @lch920619x for the original guide, @aboodyaiman for teaching me how to convert the ROM in the first place. This small guide is simply a newer one with updated links and steps on converting ROMs to work with 11GB pit. I'll add images when I have time yay
You will need THIS PACKAGE for converting between 8GB and 11GB pits, THIS PACKAGE for converting the ROMs you want to work with 11GB pit.
If you haven't download Odin yet then here is ODIN 3.12.3 ( you will need it to convert PIT between 8GB & 11GB
Installing the PIT files
1. Download the PIT Package
2. Flash pit your desired pit (PIT)
<8GB.pit to convert to the standard 8GB data partion - RECOMMENDED>
<11GB.pit to convert to the 11GB data partition>
3. Flash CF-Auto-Root (AP)
4. Wipe Cache & Data in stock recovery.
5. Flash modem (AP)
6. Flash param.bin (CP)
7. Flash custom recovery (AP)
8. Format all partitions using TWRP
9. Optional: Update to latest TWRP if you wish
Converting ROMs to work with 11GB pit
<Haven't test on Alberto's Lineage since I don't have the device anymore, REMEMBER that Alberto said he is NOT supporting 11GB pit for now>
1. Head to Python website, download and install Python
2. Download ROM CONVERT PACKAGE and extract it anywhere
3. Extract File context, system.new.dat and system.transfer.list from the ROM zip you want to convert in to where you extract the ROM CONVERT PACKAGE
4. Execute extractor and press 1, then press Enter three times
5. It will provide system folder when it's done
6. Extract boot.img, meta folder and file context from the original ROM zip again.
7. Replace updater-script with the one in the ROM COVERT PACKAGE
8. Add all to zip archive and flash your new 11GB pit compatible ROM

Hi
Try downloading your firmware from sammobile.com based on your country code and flash it with Odin while your phone in Download Mode, in Odin, check f.reset time and auto reboot, don't check any thing else.
The firmwares link:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/sm-n7505/SM-N7505/
SAM MOBILES FILE FAILED BUT "Galaxy-Note-3-Neo-SM-N7505-Full-Factory-rom-4.4.2.zip "
The file from sammobile (dot-com) did NOT FIX the issue of my note3 neo sm-n750; but with the old file, i tired before, ( "Galaxy-Note-3-Neo-SM-N7505-Full-Factory-rom-4.4.2.zip" from filehost(dot)com fixed the issue.
Why i failed before with the same file?
Actually i copied the "...full-factory ROM.. .zip" into an sd card and tried to 'install from the external sources' option in phone's recovery.
why?
As you know, the Odin only allow .tar,.md5,.smd .gz, .tgz formats; NOT ZIP file. I thought the recovery program can extract the zip file from the external SD card and do the rest . So i didn't try to extract it manually.
The zip file from sammobile contains only one md5 file. I tried it with odin's AP button and executed but failed with some error messages.
So I extracted "...full-factory ROM.. .zip file" (once i left), and I got AP, BL, CP, CSC files. then I selected and executed each file with ODIN's desired buttons and It gave my SM-N7505 a new life.
Anyway, Thank you very much dear Mr.MigoMujahid for spending time to help me
God Bless you

Hi Mr-Shihab
To flash a zip with recovery, then it has to be a flashable zip, it should be built in a specific way so the recovery can work with it, and the zip you have is a normal compressed files, so it can't be flashed at all with recovery, also note that the zip you downloaded from sammobile might be corruptedly downloaded, because sammobile offer a clean roms, anyway, you can also use samsung-firmware.org, it's a trusted site as well.
Ps: that md5 file you got works the same as the 4 files you downloaded after.
God bless you too
Had the same issue with a note 3 neo once, completely bricked it and couldn't flash stock firmware. Went to odin recovery mode as it is called (or something like that) and just put in some information found once you take the battery out and it did its thing and bam it is working.

There is Odin download Mode and there is Recovery Mode!!, which one do you mean?! ?
Also Recovery Mode is to flash files or wipe, and Odin Download mode is to flash files with Odin, how did you input anything there?!!

There is a recovery mode (not the one where you flash your roms and replace with twrp) in kies (my bad for not saying that) that reflashes the whole phone, you could literally erase the recovery or the kernel and you'd still be able to recover it which you can check out here

[APP] [T285] [2017/12/08] Boot Logo Changer

Boot Logo Changer
Change the boot image (NOT the bootanimation) that shows BEFORE the boot animation.
This has only been tested on the T285, but should work on the T280.
If in doubt, check to see if your PARAM partition is mmcblk0p16.
There are programs on the Play Store that can show the partitions, there names and other info.
This app does make a backup of the original PARAM partition and stores it on your /sdcard as PARAM.bak.
MAKE SURE YOUR SDCARD IS MOUNTED WHEN YOU GET INTO TWRP or CWM.
(Have NOT tested in CWM as I have TWRP installed).
Many thanks to [email protected] for the original script for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0.
He has kindly allowed me to modify his script for the Tab A (SM-T285).
His xda page is: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Boot Logo
To change the logo (.jpg file), replace the logo.jpg in the tmp folder with your own .jpg file.
Remember the Galaxy TAB A (SM-T285) display is 720x1280.
Steps to install:
- Reboot into recovery
- Select Install from recovery menu
- Select TAB-A-T285-LogoChanger.zip
- Follow recovery install prompts
- Reboot and enjoy!
If you need a restore script, please contact me or post a message.

device soft bricked but can enter download mode (Vol Up + PWR + Home). I did a:
# dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p16 of=/storage/emulated/0/param.lfs
before flashing the custom param. I restored the device using heimdall (GNU/Linux PC)
$ sudo heimdall flash --PARAM param.lfs
device rebooted and worked

Should have no problems with the .zip file. I used on my T285.
It will make a backup of the PARAM block and store it on you internal sdcard before changing the bootlogo.
All that had to be done was replace the logo.jpg file in the zip file (drag and drop). Install it in TWRP.
Obviously, if the logo.jpg file you put into the .zip file is very large, you may end up overwriting something.

the logo.jpg I used is about 600KB in size it may be the problem. What must be the right size so I do not overwrite anything?
I have dumped the partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 to a param.lfs
then the param.lfs appears to be a POSIX TAR Archive (GNU) can we just repack the file and modify only the logo.jpg? (the recovery script will repack the tar archive)
after modifying can we just write it with dd?
# dd if=./paramodified.tar of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16

The original logo.jpg is under 100kb, so a 600kb file would be too big.
I would keep the file under 150kb just to be safe.
Yes, you can use dd to write the modified param file...that is what the logo changer script does.

The script works now, I've reduced the jpeg to 50KB but it is blurry. Thank You
I have uploaded my param.lfs (it is compressed with 7z to reduce size from 2MB to 420KB, 26193062 is a CRC32 hash checksum of the file to verify that it is not corrupt) from mmcblk0p16 that can be flashed with heimdall ($ sudo heimdall flash --PARAM param_26193062.lfs) if someone else messes up.
1. download param_26193062.lfs
2. decompress with 7z (7z x param_26193062.lfs.7z)
3. flash with device ($ sudo heimdall flash --PARAM param_26193062.lfs)

I no longer have a T285. All my T285 files are deleted.
But, my guess is you made the .jpg logo too big.

Need help ASAP
Update: After a few tries, now it says

Error: Failed to send data!Releasing device interface...
Solution: Used Odin. Basically, using 7zip, packed the param.lfs to a tar file, then packing that to a gzip file, then prooding to flash via ODIN
Any one have stock param.tar file for flashing on sm-t285?? Plz help me? ? ?

You need yo rename your image to: logo.jpg
Then use 7zip or winrar to open bootlogochanger. replace the logo.jpg in the zip file with your logo.jpg
