[Q] Which file in the Samsung installer is the PIT? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I want to use the files from the Samsung EB13 updater in Odin so I don't have to jump through their usb plug shuffle, which file is the PIT file? Is it SamsungPST_SPHD700.dll?

You don't need to use a pit file..just put SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 in the PDA slot and go from there

I was wondering the same thing, thanks

the .rar file only contains CSC and PDA files... and after flashin there is no network as PHONE file is missing....
any suggestions please...
Just install any rom that have all these files and then using registry fix upgrade to the latest DDJG4 ROM which is far more better and stable..
am using the same ... after changing a lot of rom .. its the best i found for indian galaxies.. need more help .. do write dowm.
U can also directly install DDJG4 through ODIN.. it has all the files .... i never needed modem or csc file only pda and pit did the upgrade.

Did you enable repartition checkbox while flashing via odin and did you use the 512.pit file? If I 'm not wrong ddjg4 is a single tar which has the pda, modem and csc. Select pda in odin and point to the tar file.

i enabled repartition but still getin the same error.... do i have to format my phone b4 doin it.. m using XXJPC firmware currently and want to move back to the official one... please help...
JPC is a real pain ... has lot of bugs .. also it changes the product code to KOR after reading a lot i managed to get back my product code to INU ....
Try doing a factory reset and then flashing with ODIN with repartition on .... or use the registry hack method and upgrade to DDJG4 via kies.
first format ur internal sd card and then ur device and then try the method below
the rar file ddjg4 contains 2 files 1)add_odd and 2) dll file. , add_odd .. is a tar file just ignore the dll file...
1) open odin , tick the repartition ..
2) select the 512.pit file
3) select the add_odd as pda
4)remove the sim and the sd card
5) put the battery and the back cover
6) put ur device in the download mode
7) connect device to computer (using data cable)
8) click start
and i think you should be back to ddjg4

Super Confused About Heimdall

Hi, I'm trying to put stock 2.2 back on my Epic and I'm using Heimdall as I don't have my Windows PC here at college.
So I have 1.31 frontend installed and opened, but I cannot for the life of me, find what needs to go under "Heimdall Firmware Package." Where can I find that file? And also for the PIT, I just downloaded the 2.2 tar for the Epic from the XDA wiki, is that the right thing?
Thank you so much!
I don't have heimdall set up...but i think the tar goes into firmware DO NOT QUOTE ME...and the pit goes into pit obviously. The pit is a .pit file needed for partitioning.
I always use 7zip to open the tar and put them into the correct spots on Heimdall. This was I can use my own choice of recovery and param.ifs.
Yes, you have to open the tar file and put each individual piece into the appropriate section of heimdall

The link doesn't work for me, could you reupload it? Also does this contain data about your /data partition? If so this might be specific to your model (16/32/64 GB)

Can you please explain how you got the pit file? from what I understand you cannot simply dump the pit anymore unless I missed something.
requested access to this as well-- can you post somewhere other than Google Drive as people cant get to this file?!
can you please grant my request to download the file? I have a soft bricked phone and I really need the Pit file. thanks so much

According to: http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-extract-pit-file-from-samsung-galaxy-devices/
Requirement: To be able to use any of the methods described below [to extract the PIT file], you must have root privilege on your Galaxy device. Both the methods have been tested on the Samsung Galaxy S5.

This means that, unless someone gets it directly from Samsung somehow (leak, release, or otherwise), you'll need to wait for root on the 5.1.1 stock ROM.
I don't know a whole lot about the PIT file, and why someone would ever need it (apart from screwing around so much that you overwrite your partition information on the device... which would be hard for the average user to accidentally do).
Have you tried Samsung Smart-Switch? I don't know if it's capable, but it might download the PIT info from the internet before restoring stock firmware on a 100% borked device.
Thank you for the reply; by adb I know does not work without root as I looked over those methods. But there is also Heimdall that should be able to extract the pit while in download mode and has the option to save it,but seems not supporting this device. Also odin performs this tasks " Get PIT for mapping.." ,but does it automatically and there is no option to save from a working device with same details to use on other. I need it for a g925t that is stuck on samsung logo after odin restore and showing in download mode SW rev. check fail. device:2 binari 1 , and I think by flashing with a pit might fix it

Let us know if this worked. I need to restore back to 5.0.2 also from 5.1.1. Thanks
will not work to restore to 5.0.2 from what I know and might also damage it,so do not recommend to try that

Marsh file for OS X and Heimdall

Totally lost. Try to download marshmallow tar and update. But I download, open heimdall and use browse for file. But it is not valid to open and put in cue. I don't know what to do. Is it a different file for Apple. Mac socks by the way. I have no other choice.

Tried again. Just fails to load pit file. Doesn't recognize tar file. Can't even choose file. Tried jodin, can't download. Tried smart switch but apparently sprint doesn't allow that either

You have to extract the tar file. What you actually flash is the file with an extension of .MD5.

Afaik you need the multiple! part stock file for this:
The pit file is inside the CSC stock file and can be extracted by ->
delete .md5 from the extension
open the remaing CSC......tar file
copy pit to desktop
When in Odin give it the place where the pit file is and check "repartiton".
