I9500 11GB reverting to 8GB - Galaxy S 4 General

I got a weird issue, I re-partitioned my S4 to 11GB and everything worked fine.
But when I revert back to 8GB the mobile doesn't get recognized by any computer.
I tried stock and custom, Kitkat, Lollipop, and Marshmallow but no luck.
Tried connecting it while in recovery mode, GearCM or TWRP v3, still no luck.
The only way to fix this is by re-partitioning it to 11GB again.
Any solution? Anyone faced that before?

Have you tried flashing the stock ROM with a PIT file?

I flashed two different Stock ROMs with different PIT files but no luck.
I even done a Nand Erase All with different PIT files, but still I can't get it recognized to any PC.

So why don't you keep it 11GB? Why do you want to go back?

I'm keeping it 11GB, but some ROMs doesn't support 11GB, such as RR ROM...

If u odin a stock rom over 11GB partition the bluetooth doesnt work
u must do the steps that u did to go to 11GB exactly but pit file that must be 8GB one
so do this steps before odin a stock
1st backup efs and so on
2nd odin these files
1. a bootloader file that has param.bin as BL in odin
2. TWRP recovery as AP
3. a modem as CP
4. JA3G_EUR_OPEN.pit as 8GB pit
after odin it go to twrp advanced format all partition (except external) step by step not all together (u will see a lot of error after formating do this step again until there was no error )
then odin a stock rom

any modem : yup (just be a lollipop one)
any bootloader : nope
bootloader must has param.bin

Sorry for hijacking,
If you need param.bin, I've this one stored on my cloud storage. Feel free to use it.

Edit:
Could be flashed over 8GB or 11GB pit.

IT WORKED!! Thank you so much
But I got a little question, it's 8867 in size while I got a pit that makes it 8888, do you think it's because of that pit file I got?

idk bc I didnt use 8gb pit for a long time
I think all the 8gb pit are same but ur case is weird
u can check ur pit files exact partition size with a software called "PIT Magic v1.3.10"
:good:

here is what i did.
in BL i put the param.bin
in AP i put twrp
in CP i put the modem
in PIT i put the 8gb pit file.
then boot into twrp and format each partition (no errors) and now i am flashing the stock rom.
did i do it correctly?

I need to put a special note, that you need to format /data as ext3 first and format it again as ext4 as the direct format doesn't work.

update:
i tried what you suggested, reflashing stock rom now. encountered same problem even in twrp, the phone reboots itself.
god help me i am trying to fix this for 2 days now.
=======
Here is the problem that i am encountering right now.
i am not sure what i am doing wrong, and this time whenever i flash something from recovery the phone reboots.
here are the things i did, using philz touch, i chose the install new rom (i do this everytime when flashing a new rom) then flash RR, was able to finish it but stuck in boot loop. so followed the same steps and flashed 2 other roms, infernus and halcycon (used these roms before) however before finishing the installation the phone reboots.
next step i flashed twrp via odin (success) and flashed the latest version via twrp recovery. guess what same problem, with RR it is stuck in boot loop while with other roms, it does not complete the installation. this thing never happened to me.
next step i used this adb thing and i believe it is successful, however same problem persists.
the only thing i can think of is to flash the original i9500 firmware which i am downloading right now and will flash it via odin.

Do you have the original firmware? If so put it in AP and the 8GB pit file and tick the Nand Earse All, wait for the ROM to be booted, reboot into stock recovery and do a full wipe (factory reset and cache) then reboot.

Then flash TWRP and try to install the RR one and give me your feedback.

Can you get back in to Download mode and install a custom recovery? If so, try that, then use the recovery to flash your ROM.

You stated in the OP that you had a 32 GB, so you'll need a 32 GB .PIT. However, I don't believe that is your problem as a .PIT defines the partition table layout on the device. That should not have been changed at all. I'd try redownloading the ROM you want and try again, or I'd choose another ROM. Also, are you 100% sure that the ROM you are using is compatible with your tablet?

[Q] N8020 semi brick,stuck startup logo,No Recovery Mode!

Hello All,
My N8020 is now semi brick after trying to flash it back to stock.It was on custom rom before but showing different errors so i decided to change the rom...First i tried to install another custom rom which was cynogenmod 10 but after intstalling this rom from cwm phone stuck at cynogenmod startup logo i waited for long time but still nothing.Then tried different versions of cynogen roms but same...After all this i decided to install a official rom so i flashed this with
N8020XXBMA3_N8020XSABMA2_N8020XXBMA1_HOME.tar
but now the real problem started..Now i can boot phone in download mode but not in recovery mode at all...Then i tried to flash a cwm via odin and get "PASS" messege in odin but still no recovery mode...Tried to flash to flash clockwork recovery several time but nothing changed and then i check in download mode the custom flash counter increase every time i try to flash cwm...then i searched the stock recovery for 8020 but when i try to flash it via odin i always get "FAIL"...
Now i m out of ideas and searching for a real solution....SO can anybody please tell me what to do next to get it back to life???
Regards,
Muneeb

You are correct, I can't find for n8020 either.

Try to flash cwm again. Don't check auto reboot in odin. When finished flashing cwm, press power+volume up, when samsung or whatever appears on screen release power but keep presing volume up until cwm loads.
Let me know if you have any luck.

I would start all over from scratch to ensure the files you used were for your device.
THIS IS THE AUTO ROOT PACKAGE FOR AN N8020. UNZIP THE FILE & FLASH VIA ODIN
THIS IS CWM RECOVERY FOR N8020. FLASH VIA ODIN
THIS IS TWRP RECOVERY FOR N8000 WHICH IS WHAT YOU WOULD USE. FLASH VIA ODIN
Its possible at this point you might need to run a pit file. Nand erase as well. Read into them before EVER attempting.

Hello,
I have tried these two already "CF-Auto_root" and "N8020-CWM-6.0.2.8-Darkman.tar.md5" but still same..But now my question is will N8000 twrp recovery work on N8020?
Pit yes it can be the solution but its bit risky isn't it?

Yes N8000 is the twrp recovery for N8020. Yes pit is risky but if you read into how to do it and follow it you will be just fine. Sometimes a device may require running NAND Erase also (meaning checking the box in odin). The biggest problem with pit file is people not knowing and just running it as if they were getting a custom ROM.

Thanks for ur time!
I didn't find a working pit for my n 8010. Don't worry too much about the binary counter, mine was 118 today, I reset it with triangle away. I don't have the balls to do a nand erase on mine, I'm not even sure that is required for my problem, at least mine is working.

Yes, dont check auto boot though leave that unchecked and if it passes reboot to recovery and do a data wipe then reboot. If you run into error add your pit file to the pit window along with your stock tar.md5 file and run it just as I mentioned before with repartition selected
Make sure the pit file you use is for your device model/storage size

TWRP and CWM see development threads .
Oddly enough a notification was sent to my email. That's correct though I'm no longer active in this forum.
Here is all I have left on the Galaxy Note 10.1, anything else you need you will have to find.

[Q] (Q) HELP....GT-N8010 bricked ?????????

Hi there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 WIFI (GT-N8010). I had it rooted, custom ROM on it.....frequently forced closes so i decided to cleensweep the thing. Went into TWRP....did factory reset (wipe cache, Dalvik and System) and then formatted DATA.
So no OS anymore.
Then when i wanted to flash the custom ROM (from external SD like i always do) again.....it got stuck.......couldnt flash it it said. Okay.....so.....now what i thought. I tried the procedure of flashing with the galaxy Toolkit. Doesnt work because it waits for "debug enable"....but there is no OS.....so cant do that.
Then i made the biggest mistake i guess.
I flashed new firmware through ODIN.....but accidently for the GT-N8000. Strange that the procedure went well.
Then it came: the device got stuck on the Samsung logo.....no bootloop....just the logo. When i restarted the tablet it went strait to download mode (power and vol - normally) I dont even get the choice of cancelling or continue to download mode. The screen looks like this:
ODIN MODE
product name: gt-n8000
current binary: samsung official
system status: custom
(and then in gray) RP SWREV: A2
And NO custom binary download: no
When i go into recovery mode (power and vol+) it goes strait to the android with "downloading, do not turn off device"
WHAT HAPPENED ????
And does somebody know what to do PRETTY PLEASE
Hope you guys know what to do....or is it bricked ????
PS. It's still seen by Odin !

I had the same problem as you, and I had to flash via Odin v3.09 a firmware 4.4.2 and it rebooted fine.

just flashing 4.4.2 didn't do the trick. ...odin said "fail" when trying to flash the nand. I had to flash another pit file with it. Why that had to be done I don't know. ..just read it somewhere.
Thnx for the reply

Could I please have a secure PIT file for the GT-N8010 16GB bought in France? I've bricked my Note 10.1 after updating to the official Kitkat (N8010XXUDNE4_N8010OXXDNF1_HOME.tar.md5). I did a wipe data and cache and all seemed to be working fine for 2 days... but the tablet got stuck on a game and after a force close has been stuck in a bootloop with no access to recovery mode. I do manage to get into download mode and have tried to flash a number of times with different roms (going back seems to be impossible with KitKat) but to no avail as I keep getting an issue about 'no PIT partition'. I took it to a shop (as my warranty ran out a month ago - lucky me!) and they were also unable to flash the tablet so the issue does not seem to be the cable or the drivers (as Odin recognizes the tablet). I tried flashing with a PIT file (ticking re-partition with and without the kitkat rom) that I got on some website but I'm not certain it is the right one for my GT-N8010 and it also fails. Before I try a Nand erase I want to make sure that I have the right PIT file. By the way does the PIT file you have work with KitKat as the one I found seems to be for an outdated version of Android and as Kitkat doesn't enable one to go back to an older version of Android I'm in a catch 22 with only the Nand erase option left?
FYI, I tried flashing a recovery like TWP to try flashing custom roms but it also doesn't work.
Any other ideas? Should I tick Nand Erase and Phone EFS Clear. As the issue seems to be the kitkat bootloader is it possible to flash a bootloader? Can't find any trace of anything other than the tar files for GT-N8010 in Jelly Bean or KitKat. Anybody have a bootloader, PDA, CSC and Phone file for the GT-N8010? Can one attempt the following on a GT-N8010: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757&page=2 ?
Thanks for any help as I've been without my tablet for weeks now!!:crying:
Need PIT file for GT-N8010 16GB under Kitkat
Any PIT file please? Thanks!

can you send me that pit file too, please?
Me too!
I'd like that file too...
I just flashed the wrong bootloader file onto my N8010. Luckily it's still working!
Still looking for the correct KitKat bootloader, but I'd happily take the pit file and see if that works.
Pretty Please!

I have the same problem... flashed 4.4.2 on a North American Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) with Odin and am stuck in downloading mode.
Can someone send me the pit file I require? Please!

Lucky me! Flashing the wrong bootloader probably didn't work. I was able to flash a stock KitKat rom yesterday and my device still seems to have a working pit file.
Details: German Note 10.1 GT N8010 updated to KitKat, but the pit file seems to be older. Any other info needed?
This is how I got the pit file.
Code:
sudo heimdall download-pit --output Samsung-Note-10.1-PIT.txt
I had trouble opening the result in a text editor, so I'm not sure, I got it right. You'll probably have to rename it... Let's see, if I'm allowed to upload.

Thanks... Any idea what the name of the original PIT file is?
(I believe it should have the .pit extension. I hope I can rename this file accordingly?)
Sorry, no.
Heimdall doesn't seem to care how the file is named. I'd hazard a guess, that it's similar for most Samsung devices.
help please. .
Hi
Any chance of sending me the PIT file. . I did the same! :'(
Thanks in advance .

Remove TWRP without clear data or tactory reset.

My friend was installing the twrp to root a J7 metal.
Now the cell phone does not restart, and I do not know what the **** it did KKkkkkkkkkkk
It wants to remove the twrp without formatting the device.
If installing the original rom by Odin using home_csc does it return to normal without formatting?
open the program odin, select the section PIT, put all the checkboxes and flash. The PIT. file can take from the archive of the stock firmware zip.

That is, I just get the PIT file and put it in the Odin field, mark these boxes that you mentioned and click on Flash Will not this format the phone? Because it can not be formatted otherwise you will lose all the data ...

This is the problem, he could not lose the data of the device ... would be to use the method of installation of the complete rom in Odin but using the home-csc we would be able to return the system without losing the data?

You may be able to pull the stock recovery from the AP file of the firmware an flash just that with odin !
That may work for you !

So if I just use the AP file that has inside the ZIP of the rom I can recover the original Recovery and so the system can restart the boot without needing to format and lose the data?
Sorry for so many questions but it is a delicate situation and really he can not lose the data of the device.

No if you pull the stock recovery img from the AP file in the zip you can make tar file so you can flash just the stock recovery an get twrp out of the phone !
If you flash the hole AP file you will format the phone ! At that point mite as well all four files !
