So my phone just stopped working after two days of rooting. I decided to un root it and revert it back to stock with Odin. I downloaded the right file for my phone SGH-M919 but when I tried to flash it. I got there is no pit partition. I tried then using kies and that failed. So I googled s4 pit file and got to a thread that had it. But stupid me thinking that i9505 pit file is the same for my phone because Wikipedia said it was the quad core version which the tmobile is. So now i have a new error for flash.
Please help thank you
The stock tar or md5 file from Sammobile.com has the pit mappings in it.

So all I would need is that .tar and it would automatically fix the issue? Or do I have to extract the pit and use it another way? I've never had to deal with this myself but some one else is having the same problem and I'm trying to find the answer for the both of us really, I don't want to be blind if this were to happen to myself so I want to find what I need to correct it before it becomes a problem later.
Flash the stock .tar like the man said...

Just use tar file place it in pda not pit section of odin . Click start after reboot you are back to stock.

Sounds simple, I've been helping some one from here out a little and either he doesn't understand what he's doing or there's something else wrong that he doesn't know he did in the mean time but that's pretty simple for a fix. He's been "from what I gather" doing that same thing but when it starts it just hangs at the check in Odin. I told him it takes a few minutes before it actually shows progress but he's waited over an hour so maybe he did something to the partitions that's all I can think of that would cause this to happen but it's hard trying to figure out the problem when you don't have the device in hand.
Thanks for responding I'll send him the link to the thread.

If it's hanging at the "check" in Odin, it's not even began to write things to the device. The "check" part is checking the tar file. So it may have just been an incomplete download of the tar file.

Same problem as above but still getting pit error
I have the same problem as the guy above. I tried to unroot and soft bricked my phone. Kies hasnt worked neither has anything I've read. I've tried the stock tar and modified tar file from this post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628) but still havent had much success. The tar check passes so I'm assuming the files are valid and I'm uploading the file in the PDA slot in Odin 3.07. But when the program runs it gets to (check pit mapping) then it says (device removed) then (device addded) then i get a failed message. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using Galaxy S4 SGH-M919
Win 7 Home 64bit
So many variables, try original Odin 1.85, try a different USB cable and USB port on PC.

Same problem. Nothing is working. I am using the SGH-M919 pit file, but still, Odin throws errors. "Re-partition operation failed"... I tried everything nothing wants to work so far. Any ideas?
Try using an original Samsung USB cable.
In serious need of your help here guys. I bricked my T-mo SGH-M919 today trying to root. Now I can't flash the stock recovery thru Odin. Tried a zillion times, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers restarted my comp, done everything I could think of still no dice.
I keep getting this Fail message in Odin saying " There is no PIT partition" tried to search for a PIT file for my specific model but couldn't find any. I even tried recovery thru kies emergency recovery and failed at the last step. Anybody can help me please.

If you can still get into Odin mode, there's still hope. Have you tried using Odin to flash a stock image instead of Kies?

Don't use and dont need pit file.
Find the stock shipped tar file (aka) 4.1.2 Rom
Load in pda leave everything checkedbin odin thats checked.
Rooting isnt hard at all just got my s4 3 hrs ago rooted in 5 minutes soon as I walked in the door.
You need the Root_m919uvuamdl.zip
And then flash MDB setUIDoff .zip
Then flash superuser.
Thats it.

Had that and tried flashing it thru Odin several times and I keep getting the same error message. "there is no PIT partition"
Let me ask you one thing. .. is the com port in odin coming up recognize the phone ...if so you are not bricked. . The two vital things u need to see is com port turn on usually blue color and download mode..
The problem def lies somewhere else possibly bad tar file .
Try to find another source for the stock rom tar file another option is boot into recovery and flash a stock rom if you have recovery still

Well glad you got it.... but i still find it hard to believe any usb was the issue Usb recognition is usb recognition. .if odin seen the phone usb was working. ..its literally that simple... the problem initially explained was that the pit error was coming up... that all relates usually to a file error .

Nope, it was in the PDA section. I'm familiar with Odin and used it several time in the past (on my Note 8.0) . I believe the error message was either due to corrupt download and/or the USB cable. Anyway so glad it was solved quickly and thanks again for your help.

Pit file. That solved my problems. Flash it alone, then flash a good stock rom.
Long story short, directly after installing Swap Internal Sdcard to External Sdcard my phone rebooted into recovery mode saying that it could not mount /Data & /Cache. This was on Cyanogenmod 10.2 (latest nightly) and I was an idiot and tried to start over and failed at repartitioning my ROM. Does anyone have a ROM configuration directory tree for a PIT configuration so I can recovery my phone?
Model is: SPH-l900
Recovery: TWRP
This is my last resort D:
======Update======== 10/09/2013
I've done a lot of research, pretty much summed up my options. Since I do not have a PIT configuration for my SPH-l900 I can either buy a hardware / software combo to repair my phone, throw my phone away, or risk taking it to a sprint store.
Also what device would I use to repair my phone? JTAG / RIFFTag? or ???
And also no one can make a PIT file for the SPH-L900 (16GB) ?

Last I researched and tried you cannot just Odin back without a .PIT configuration file with a corrupted ROM (EMMC). Does anyone have a .PIT configuration file for the SPH-L900?
Can you get into odin download mode by holding volume down and power? If so im 99.9% sure its an easy fix. Or you can try your luck finding a .pit configuration...

Thank you so much, I was hesitant to PM you directly and thought someone else might have the proper .PIT file...
Did you just create it yourself using Pit Magic or how did you get that .PIT configuration? If you don't mind me asking.

I was looking for a .PIT configuration file because my ROM (EMMC) was corrupted, from my experience Odin only works with regular Custom OS .tar installs if you only have a working ROM (EMMC). I had to repartition my phone first... And I did look lol, I couldn't find a working .PIT file for my phone sadly and on top of that I tried to create my own but failed it hard. I guess it was a great learning experience because sprint looked at my phone and just said that they would replace my old one, and since I've had it for about a year they just let me keep the old one

What should I do next? I can get my phone into ODIN download mode but could not flash the any stock ROM. I got the message :There is no PIT partition and if I attach file t0tle.pit and check the re-partition box then I got the message second after hit the start button : Re-Partition operation failed.

OH, OK... if so then I got the message something like there is no pit file. The phone if I don't do anything but just hit the power button it will come to a blank screen with nothing in it and you cannot control anything even power button and you will need to take the battery out in order to turn the phone off but I also mentioned that I can get into the Odin download mode and when you do the tarball (your term) you will get the message that said no pit file.
Did this end up working out for you? I've downloaded MC2 (4.1.2?) and another version (4.4 I think) and everything I try keeps telling me I need a PIT file. My phone is soft bricked where it'll go into download mode, but trying to go into recovery or booting it normally and it'll turn into a Poltergeist screeen and won't do anything - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-sprint/help/odd-semi-brick-t3082102

I am in the same boat.
Woke up this morning and phone is on "Galaxy Note 2" screen. Does not even get past the Sprint and Samsung boot anims. Try to boot into TWRP to send some commands and disable Xposed, I did some playing with Xposed last night but when I went to sleep, I had done multiple restarts and tests w/ Xposed modules and all was sound. Put it on the charger and slept. Until this morning!
Not able to send and ADB commands to phone during boot.
I can get into dl mode with Odin but so far the recovery files I've tried to flashed have returned either FAILED or NO PIT PARTITION error.

Before you attempt an Odin + pit recovery have you tried the following:
1 - boot into recovery and do a factory reset
2 - flash the stock image via Odin by itself (please copy and post the results from the status screen) - then repeat step #1
If that doesn't resolve your issue....
It's very rare that a repartition is needed, as I'm not aware of any roms that muck with the partition sizing/data on the i317/i317m .... but depending on what the status screen says it may be worth an attempt. If you visited the link above, you'll see that I've temporarily pulled the files. I have a new files ready and am planning on testing the one for the i317 this weekend. I don't have a i317m so... if you want to test the file (which was pulled correctly from an i317m and is now sized correctly) - send me a PM.

Which non-stock rom? After flashing it are you able to get into recovery mode? Does this rom by any chance flash a modem.bin?
If a stock rom loads ok, chances are your pit mapping is OK.

Sounds to me like ur definitely not giving the roms enough time on the boot. Some could take 5-7 minutes for initial boot. The fact that stock works and EVERY OTHER ROM here doesn't... leads me to believe this. Patience is virtue

also, someone at your skill level should not be messing with partitions; you are just asking for a brick..
Not to mention the likely requirement of fully wiping the internal storage of the device...
Arbitrarily changing frameworks back and forth without wiping the file structure first will give you problems on boot...(boot loops)...
Additionally....once the rom is flashed...it may help to immediately go to recovery and wipe the device caches and data again...g

No. I have pictures and music and all SD card contents dating back to the time I bought the phone and I used Odin last week to return to stock.

No, but you may need to factory reset, which would delete all the files in your device..
There are possible ways trying to get around this, but its safer to just back up your important files in case something unexpected happens

Hmm.. Ok try flashing firmware with Odin, if that doesn't fix it then flash twrp recovery and reboot to recovery, after that do a factory reset within twrp.. This will perform a factory reset without wiping user files.. Reboot and it should boot up

Edit: oh and yes I know, wish it was mine :/

Right, but you're not flashing a rom, you're flashing firmware.. You could also just flash a rom, but I don't know how your buddy wants his device
Bro I love m3's!! Been in love with them since day one.. I just have that display pic because it looks nice lol

What firmware version did you try to flash? If it was ever updated to 4.3 you can only ever flash the same or newer firmware again. So if it had been updated to NC2 before, you can only flash NC2 firmware. (Latest version). If this doesn't apply, you might want to try reinstalling drivers. Also, only use Odin v3.07 or 3.09.
You can try to odin flash twrp recovery though, then make a nandroid backup to be safe. It also has a built in file manager and you can use it to copy the picture folder from internal to external sd card.

I downloaded the latest 4.3 and tried to flash that but didnt work im not sure what the phone had before and can i flash the twrp recovery if the phone wasnt rooted?
Yes, you can flash a custom recovery without root. Its actually the original root method if I'm not mistaken. (Flash recovery, then from that recovery flash the SuperSU update zip. )
Since youre using the latest firmware, we know that's not the cause at least.
Few other things that are known to cause Odin to fail...
Make sure you are using the correct firmware for the device. (Make sure if its a T999, T999L, T999N, T999V and use the corresponding firmware)
If kies is on your computer, uninstall it
Try different usb cables, yes they quite often do go bad.
Try every usb port on your computer. I've seen more than a few people find it only worked on one usb port! No idea why...
Try different driver versions. Make sure you uninstall through device manager. Drivers are in my sig.
If all else fails, try a different computer if possible.
If I think of anything else ill add it.

Yup, everything Doc said.. Double check firmware or Odin may be a little picky

I tried what you guys said and none of it worked and then i tried to install a recovery through odin and that worked. Through recovery I tried to install a zip firmware that i got from another firmware and now the phone does not start at all no boot screen no download mode no nothing. Is it fully gone now?

Firmware or ROM? And what zip is this you're talking about? Can you get into recovery? If not then you might have bricked it

I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403060 at the bottom of the first post
and yeah no recovery
but when i plug it into my computer it beeps like if something just was plugged in
That thread is pretty old and I think that was for LJA, if the phone was updated to 4.3 and you tried that it makes sense that it would brick.. Does it give you message in the connected devices?
