Hi Guys,
i get myself to serious trouble. I am looking for help.
description:
I had some problems with flashing new rom to my GT-P3100 8GB.
I was looking for solution and ended up with corrupted filesystem.
I discovered that only solution is to re-partition my device.
Sadly i used wrong PIT file. I flashed accedentaly PIT file for 16 GB version.
Problem:
Tablet is communicating. I can connect with ODIN, wtih Heimdall, i can get into download mode, i cant connect with Android Studio.
I am no able to succesfully flash no ROM (incl. stock rom from Samsung). Flash of rom is partial, can boot into "encryption unsuccessful" screen
Cant flash again with PIT file for P3110 8 GB version (ODIN says fail). P3110 is WIFI version.
Is solution to this situation delete everything from internal SD card and the re-partition?
Do you have any ideas, please?
I believe that this is not hard brick, because i can communicate with device.
I trying to solve it for three days already without luck.
Problem solved!
I managed to find proper PIT file for GT-3100 8GB version.
After re-partition with help of ODIN all flash went well..
Both PIT files in attachments

Hello.
I bricked Galaxy S4 LTE-A by applying CWM recovery to the phone.(The phone was unlocked before bricked)
All trials, from factory reset to re-installing the rom(working unlocked rom) failed.(infinite boot loop)
Now, I'm trying to unbrick the device by reinitializing the partition, but I don't have PIT file, and google search gave me nothing.
So, if anybody has stock Galaxy S4 LTE-A, can you extract PIT file?
PS. Any suggestions to unbrick the device will be very helpful.
I have SHV-E330S, where is the pit?

okay so my Samsung tab3 lite was rooted but I did something and now it is stuck in CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.8 and I have the basic android ROM downloaded on my computer and not sure how to fix this problem Is it possible for me to put the ROM on my sd card then install zip on my tablet? I have tired odin but it can never find my ROM
Any help would be amazing!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You are on the right track to Odin the stock firmware to get your device working again. But you need the stock firmware, not a rom zip. If you've downloaded the stock firmware it does download in a zip format but you need to extract that so you end up with a .tar.md5 file. Use that in Odin. Also see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3. It's the forum for the tab 3 and does have some information for the lite version.

I have downloaded the firmware but odin does not see the firmware at all not sure what I am doing wrong but could I put the firmware on my sd card then put it in my tablet and install zip?
Have you extracted the firmware zip? Use winrar or 7-zip. You need to use a .tar.md5 file in Odin. That's what you'll get if you extract the stock firmware .zip. Use that in the PDA or AP slot in Odin, depending on what version of Odin you're using. See this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539

I got the md5 file and got it in odin and clicked start and then a couple minutes later it said failed and now my tablet only says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try again" so I went to kies and went to Emergency Firmware Recovery tab under tools but it can not find my device
OK, XDA Assist is a forum to point you in the right direction and not to solve your issue. So I'd ask here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/help. But use the usb ports in the back of your computer, 2.0 and not 3.0, and try different usb cables. Odin can be finicky.
I can successfully flash Twrp, And I have flashed a rom to use my phone, But i cant flash stock firmware? I just get "Nand write start" and then "FAIL" in ODIN. Any ideas if a pit file would be useful? My device is as followed: Galaxy S6 32 GB TELUS SM-G920W8.
Please reply if you have any ideas? Thanks, I have also tried kies and smart switch, I got nothing. Thanks

Could this be because i flahed a 5.1.1 rom?
so i am on the latest firmware BOI1 and i decided to root my sprint s6 the other day to try and do a sim unlock. so i am trying now to return it to stock. i downloaded the correct firmware and used the latest odin3(i believe it is the latest) and the md5 check would do good but when i tried to flash the actual firmware it kept hanging on "setupConnection" and fails
Wiped cache and factory reset from recovery. It has hung at getting pit now the last couple times. I re downloaded the firmware directly from sammobile website this time
looking for the pit file. cant seem to find it. does anyone have a link for the 128 gig sprint version? getting desperate here. don't want to do something im gunna regret lol
i found a tutorial to extract it from your phone but without being able to boot up the phone i can not do this. is there a way to run adb commands on a phone stuck in boot loop? is there anyone who can link a valid g920p pit file?
Ok guys, Could be a simple answer. I currently have an S6 and it is unlocked and currently on German Vodafone. I have attempted to revert it to BTU firmware as I'm in the UK. I followed all the available guides to achieve this via odin but it failed almost immediately. It failed at Hidden.img I think? Anyway the phone then failed to start up and took me straight to an error screen telling me to connect it to smart switch. I then found out how to fix it and managed it so phone up and running again. Is it possible to flash the BTU firmware in the first place?
Thanks
Come on guys, surely there must have been someone out there with the same problem as me and has managed to overcome it?
The answer is:
extract the Firmware with winrar and extract the hidden.img separat to your Desktop. rename it to hidden.img.tar and Flash that again (AP), after that your phone should reboot. if not, go into recovery make a reset. Here is a link in german:
https://www.androidpit.de/forum/670145/samsung-galaxy-s6-s6-update-problem-hidden-img-fail
That's how I solved the problem with the phone going into error. I need to know if it is possible to flash the firmware BTU to my phone?

It's 100% possible but check first if the rar file is not corrupted.
I had problem with corrupted files failed in odin.
Ok, I completed yet another download of the firmware for BTU but once again the flash failed. I had to carry out flash with hidden.img.tar in order to restore phone. I don't understand why this is happening? Any ideas?
