[INFO][DEV]SGS2 Epic 4G Touch Partition Structure - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Here are the partitions for the Epic 4G Touch as identified by Heimdall. The .pit file was successfully created by odub303 and found here
After talking to Hacre he informed me that the partition Identifier is offset by -1.
So basically, if the partition identifier below says "7" for recovery.bin, then it means it is actually mmcblk0p6....

Rebooting device...

nice, needed this! thanks jerdog

just updated the OP to reflect that each partition number is offset by -1

does anyone know what factoryfs.img does?
Maybe u can flash that to zimage partition? Sorry for my idiotic questions, maybe someone can enlighten me, there's no instructions on any of this.

I hope you don't flash that to the zImage partition..... factoryfs.img is the stock /system image for the phone....
others can probably state it more eloquently though.

This looks like a first in Loke history. Apparently this device is capable of writing to external SDCard? Be careful while flashing. Correct me if this is not external mmc.

Partition Name: BOOT
Filename: boot.bin
this is the Primitive Bootloader. This is the first bit of firmware loaded on your device at boot time. It initializes memory and loads the SBL.

Partition Name: EFS
Filename: efs.img
The EFS is a partiton which handles the serial number and carrier information on your device. be careful with this. You may lose service if you mess up this partition. make sure that you copy this partition. Google "EFS Backup STL3" for more information.

Partition Name: SBL1
Filename: Sbl.bin
This is the Secondary bootloader. it can be considered an operating system on it's own. This is where loki (what Heimdall and Odin talk to) lives. It also has an SBL prompt which you can use over UART to talk to the device and load/delete partitions or make serious changes to the device. A wrong SBL can lead to bricking. Make sure you flash boot.bin and Sbl.bin at the same time. To be safe, flash params and repartition as well.

Partition Name: SBL2
Filename:
Usually this is a duplicate of SBL. It is intended for a backup but I'm not totally convinced it's operational. This is supposed to be like a backup SBL, but I've never found it useful especially because it won't boot if the PBL does not match.
Code:

this is where SBL stores information. This is the settings for boot and contains the image you see on startup as well as the Download Mode image and others.

This partition is where the Linux kernel lives. Nuff said.
Code:

Unknown 1: 0
Partition Block Size: 90112
Partition Block Count: 16384
Unknown 2: 0
Unknown 3: 0
Partition Name: RECOVERY
Filename: recovery.bin
This partition is a duplicate of the Kernel partition. It is intended to be used for a recovery but I have never found it useful. You can flash garbage to it and the phone will boot and enter recovery just fine. However, if you flash garbage to the kernel partition, this partition won't boot. I don't understand it's function really...

Unknown 3: 0
Partition Name: MODEM
Filename: modem.bin
This is a firmware like the Linux kernel for the Modem. The modem contains an entire operating system on it. This is the reason we can talk and surf and play with apps at the same time. This firmware won't keep the phone from booting, but it can affect things like Phone, Data and GPS.

I don't know what UMS is... I assume it's like a second modem on the device. It is likely the same as the MODEM device with a bit different functionality.

Anyone care to elaborate on UMS and Hidden?
I'd like to note that Voodoo LagFix is no longer required.. These are all EXT4 partitions!

btw... why is this stickied? The pit file is a useful tool. a printout won't help for anything.

Good to know - thanks. Unstickied.

LOL seriously, this coming from a guy who supposely makes kernel yet doesn't know what factoryfs is and asks if it can be flashed to zImage? ROFL.

Is there a key combo to zap the PRAM? That will most likely fix any issue anyone has! also kidding.

Can you post the output of this command?
Code:
ls -lR /dev/block
Ok found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34302258&postcount=21
so this shell cmds gave me a 501 MB file which is probably the NAND dump :
adb shell
su
stop
dd if=/dev/block/bml0!c of=/sdcard/bml0c.outfile
## wait 2 minutes to finish
start
## wait 30 sec

does seem to know oneNAND partns either
parted just can handle the sd card on SGY
Wow its not noob stuff
I wanna know how if we change partition size maybe we can got extra size for /data maybe
ya itz poss with PIT FILE MAGIC see above
look up the tags.
but which parted (editor) is working on on our SGY'S "oneNAND" and which partition manager ?

tt is a oneNAND system
the dump contains all messages as plain string text

Run both parted (linux version and ARM version with GPT support) on that raw file, if it doesn't contain a partition table the filesystem may be obtained somehow.

some individual partns filesystems can be obtained via magicISO, because RFS is FAT compatible.
still a nice oneNAND dump reader would be a nice thing.

ok but using parted on a single partition should always work if the filesystem is recognized

with that stuff one can implement "mobile ODIN" flasher for SGY-phone.

Just modify a kernel you like to boot off how ever much space you want for /data

[DEV][REQ] .Pit for SGH-T889

I need someone with a stock ROM rooted or not, deodexed, odexed are fine. Use will need heimdall, and common sesne
See image attached for instructions and please save the file as PIT_SGH-T889_16GB_12-28-2012.pit, zip it and upload it here. Thanks in advance, I am working on a ROM at the moment and need this ASAP to continue development.
C'mon folks !
Lots of people could use this.
Yep hopefully someone will see it and help us out.
I might as well supplement that request with one for the T889V .pit too.
Pretty sure they are the exact same bro. I'm going to T-Mobile now to see if they will exchange it for me, if so I will pull the .pit myself.
**bummer they closed as I wrote this. Will try tomorrow, if not Samsung already sent me a return label.
From SGH-889V I got ..but when I click detect device...it says devices detected.

Forgot to add ...I am using MyROM v2...But I suppose pit should remain same no matter what
Much appreciated hkfan !
crap I think my phone is gonna be bricked. I used odin 3.07 with this pit and stock t889v MCT firmware and it's stuck on get pit mapping. been waiting half an hour
Did odin formatted anything yet ..if no then I suppose you can disconnect your phone and connect again after restarting odin( just dont restart phone) ...I used to have this issue with samsung vibrant......still let someone else confirm this

If you are having issues make sure to:
#1. Kill all background Kies processes.
#2. Pull battery for 2 minutes, 1 of which you are holding the power button.
#3. Restart ODIN & try again.
I got lucky it didn't write anything, but I can't seem to flash the rom. Tried different usb cables and odin versions. It gets stuck at get pit for mapping.
You're saying its stuck at "get pit for mapping" with or without the repartition option checked?
If any issues with pit then I can create again... I ll wait if it doesn't not work for multiple people
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I didn't try anything with the file, but it seems there's quite a bit of padding at the end (0x00 bytes), which might cause Odin to fail.

Alright guys, I wanna start this off with a nice healthy "I told you so". I said once Verizon was allowed to lock devices with Samsung, the rest of the carriers would follow suit. I was met with resistance on that statement, but the AT&T bootloader is now just as locked as Verizon. We need to unlock it. This forum will be pretty darn dead until we are able to do this.
The rules
Keep this thread clean. I'm asking for strict moderation. If your comment doesn't advance the thread, it will be reported and put in que to be deleted. The whole point of this thread is to maintain high information density. This isn't a support thread. If someone has a "user-level" question about something, take it to a new thread in the Q&A forums. The mission isn't to support everything.. We're focusing on just one thing and that's:
Lets get this bootloader unlocked
First up, lets make it perfectly clear. This device is bootloader locked.

System files
The files contained here come directly from my device. I will not guarantee that they will flash. In fact, the SYSTEM partition has been modified so it will likely not flash. However, this is a copy of ALL THE partitions on my device. Odin Flashable ROM: http://d-h.st/BHF
To my knowledge we don't have a version of Odin that will work properly with this device yet.
These are my device-specific files. I am posting them in hopes they will be helpful. I recommend NEVER flashing them to a live device otherwise you will end up with some funky stuff and probably under the same surveillance that I am under . Basically, this will change your serial numbers and stuff and they will no longer be right. Don't flash them:http://d-h.st/8Hc

We need to figure out a way to get @djrbliss's exploit to attain root permissions, then simply copy the /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system partition off the device. Stock Firmware is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
[*]Heimdall is having problems with this device so Heimdall will require an update. If someone would, please follow @Benjamin Dobell's tutorial here and submit a log of a simple package so we can get heimdall working. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/heimdall-and-usb-logging-tutorial-xda-developer-tv/
[*]This relies on two unknowns, but we need a bootloader set which does not have signature checks enabled. Possibly from a developer version. It may be possible to replace the SBL1,2,3 and aboot with an unsigned bootloader set which will break the chain of trust above the bootloader Will not work because of signatures
[*]Figure out how the PARAM partitioning works. I see that there is support for partition tables in the PARAM partition based on the Little Kernel bootloader output from above. This means it's possible we can boot from SD.
[*]Determine the possibility of loading custom firmware with Samsung Knox
[*]Once we have the items above done, we can move on to writing the exploits. [/LIST]

Awesome work, bad news on it being locked. I assume rooting and doing some minor /system mods like disabling some bloat won't soft brick. Another fun challenge!

Haha. I guess I can see why you would say that. I've actually unlocked and assisted unlocking plenty of HTC bootloaders and SPLs back in day. I will help as much as I can here.

you don't belong here either. your java is out of date. blame mac, and update java. Go to Q&A for further support. I swear to god, we're not running a daycare and this is EXACTLY what I posted in the rules.

Alright guys, I wanna start this off with a nice healthy "I told you so". I said once Verizon was allowed to lock devices with Samsung, the rest of the carriers would follow suit. I was met with resistance on that statement, but the AT&T bootloader is now just as locked as Verizon. We need to unlock it. This forum will be pretty darn dead until we are able to do this.
I've packaged a CASUAL method based 100% on @djrbliss method. I prefer CASUAL as the same file will work on all platforms and it's contained within a single executable. http://d-h.st/64i

listen i know what your trying do the reason i was informing u is because u claimed as stated in bold above that it works on all platforms which it does not... and i am running the latest java. not starting flame anything just letting u know. this isnt a daycare... i was just testing ur file and found a flaw.

A) Please stay on topic on this post
B) if you are going to report a bug that appears to be releated to the runtime, say which you are running (ie Oracle version X, Apple version X, openjre version X etc). I'm going to bet you are using apple's, which is both up to date (to apple), and out of date (compared to oracle). I run into similar problems (with other software).
This should be moved to orginal development IMHO.
Off-topic intro: Good to see you again, AdamOutler. It's been a great pleasure working with you in the past. Love the video - you're like a surgeon with that thing.
Somewhat related part: I've looked into the USB chip a little bit from an external perspective (playing with resistors on the ID pin). I've achieved two different types of UART output and "Factory Mode" (see next section), but unfortunately that's all I've seen. It seems older Samsung devices had the FSA9480 (or similar), and we had lists of different resistances we could try... but none of these other resistances work now on the S4.
Possibly useful part: When using 301k resistance, we get "Factory Mode" instead of "Odin Mode". I don't know if this makes any difference, but I figured it would be worth pointing out here. See attached screenshot.
Question regarding UART: Previously, we were able to get an SBL prompt using UART. Is this not possible, or is this the "console=null" part you were looking at in the UART output? If we got to this prompt, I would imagine this to be quite useful.
Request for info: Can you shed any light on the USB chip? We're trying to find out which resistances enable different modes, such as car dock mode (if it still exists) and anything else that might be useful. Heck, there may be some fancy new modes that might be useful for unlocking this bootloader (unlikely).
Thanks again for your amazing contributions to the community.
Hi Adam,
Was hoping you would get this going. Started looking into some of those unknown chips and then I came across this.
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S4+Teardown/13947/2
Looks like they did their own tear down of the AT&T Galaxy S4 and provide some nice information about what each chip is and who manufacturers the chip. Hopefully this is helpful in diagnosing the board itself and some insight on how the board is laid out to figure out how to crack this bootloader.

generally Factory Mode and Odin Mode are the same I have never come across a practical difference except the words. However, we can figure out more once we get a bootloader analysis.

Probly. However, I'm 100% sure null console is embedded into the boot.img. I'm 90% sure the entire boot.img is signed.
Code:

[email protected]:~/Desktop/GS4CASUAL/partitions/new$ abootimg -x ./boot.img
writing boot image config in bootimg.cfg

I can't at this time. However, I would bet it's an FSA**** chip being that they've always used that for resistance monitoring between pins 4 and 5 (aka x and 4).
I got a phone call from Josh (@Connexion2005 ) from MobileTechVideos.COM . He managed to do a JTAG on this device. You can seee more here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkfEhu4trRY He's just as interested as anyone else in getting this device unlocked. Here's some highlights/relevant information from our conversation which pertains to this unlock
@Connexion2005 has the ability to recover ANY bootloader problem at this time. This will bring "Hard Bricked" devices to Working or "Soft Bricked" states.
He did not grab the SYSTEM partition because this is generally provided by SAMSUNG. His reference device is now rooted which invalidates the SYSTEM partition. The SYSTEM partition must be torn from an unrooted device.
The Flash Counter and mod status has been located in the PARAM in the past. We need to get this torn from a live, unmodified device.
Josh has volunteered to provide a 100% stock SYSTEM and PARAM if somone can provide him a device
So, if anyone wishes to ship their 100% stock device out to MobileTechVideos.com , he will be able to provide us a 100% back to stock as torn from a live Galaxy S4 device.
I just got the system files up and online bootloaders, kernel, modem, system, and everything else. it's a 1.7gig tar.md5.gz file. 3Gigs uncompresed! Even though it's in Odin format, because it contains a rooted SYSTEM partition, it will not flash properly. Again, do not flash this file. http://d-h.st/BHF ping @Ralekdev

Not to hijack this thread gents, but curious as to how to check if the bootloader is locked on USCC (uscellular) devices.

Fairly certain "WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE" its not a determining factor.
Maybe we could start a donation fund for some developers to get devices. What do you guys think?

Bounties are ok, as in "I will give X to whomever does X first".
Threads with the intent just to buy dev devices are not (unless a more senior mod wants to step in and clarify the rules more).
Hey guys. My friend has a stock AT&T S4 that he could possibly send to josh, to create a flash.
Side question - Would it be possible to do the same to a stock T-Mobile S4 and load the boot to an AT&T S4?
Thanks

You couldnt partition with recovery, and you may brick the phone when you try it.
