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.

thanks for the quick response guys.
The pit file came in the ODIN download on that thread.
the ODIN file was named
Odin3-v1.85.zip
The pit file was in that zip file. The pit file was named
u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
Thanks for any help you guys have to offer.
oh wow i really never noticed that pit file lol since i got it from melvin's thread which is stickied in the dev section.
you should call up t-mobile and just tell them you woke up and noticed your phone won't turn on anymore. They should issue a next day warranty exchange. hmmmm you probably will get it on monday since its already friday.

I am pretty new to flashing and rooting android phones. I have a GNex 4.1.1 JB Stock ROM. It was stuck in a boot loop somehow and I wasn't able to fix it by factory reset. Someone told me to unlock and root the phone to install a new stock ROM.
I unlocked using the Wuz toolkit. But rooting wasnt possible because I couldnt push files through ADB. Then I tried doing an ODIN flash using this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827685). But I got stuck at NAND Write Start.
Now I have a Phone <-> Yellow Triangle with Exclamation <-> Computer. Which I believe is download mode for Samsung.
Then I tried an OMAP Flash using this method (http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-1465412.html). I was successful installing the OMAP drivers and running the bat file. However I am still have the phone/yellow/triangle/Computer logo on my screen.
I tried to do an ODIN flash again but still stuck at NAND Write Start.
I already tried to do this:
1.) Repartiion using the PIT file [ODIN]
2.) Then OMAP flash
3.) Then Flash PDA file using ODIN.
I also tried it by swapping steps 1 & 2 but no progress.Can someone tell me the exact sequence of steps or any advice what to do now?
First of all, let me list your mistakes before I help you out:
Mistake #1: You used a toolkit. By doing so, you skipped over the entire learning part of unlocking and flashing your device, so you have no idea what went wrong or what you did.
Mistake #2: You used Odin when you didn't have to. You can mess up your device with Odin, while it is next to impossible to do so using fastboot. We have a Nexus device, i.e. a device with an unlockable bootloader and the ability to use fastboot. In my opinion, Odin should only be used as a last resort.
Mistake #3: You did not read enough before you decided to fix your bootloop. There are a bunch of stickies in the General and Q&A sections. Did you read any of them?
Now, on to fixing your issue.
Go to the Dev section and find the IMM76D Odin file in a thread started by Chainfire.
Follow the instructions in that thread to flash the complete package. Odin should be able to flash your device even though you are on the screen you currently see. Do not use a JB Odin package, use an ICS package.

I read a few articles and i know it wasnt enough. I posted a thread on android central and a senior wrote down some steps and i followed that. But going for odin and omap was totally my experiment.
I links to the imm76d image do not work any more. File not found error. There were no other sources i could find. Do you have another link to the file?

I downloaded the image and tried an odin flash but seems to be stuck at nand write start. I also see that this process does not have a pit to repartition. I had previously tried to re partition it using the pit file given in the jb stock rom odin image. Can i use the same one here?

You shouldn't need the .pit file. That's what probably messed things up in the first place.
If Odin is not working, I guess you can try Omap flash and then Odin. Note that if you try omap flash, and then Odin still doesn't work, I don't think you have any other option besides sending it in for repair.

I tried the OMAP Flash. It executes perfectly in the command window but my phone still shows the "connect phone to PC" picture with yellow excalmation. After that I tried ODIN flash the IMM76D tar file but I am still stuck at NAND Write flash. What I want to know is that what are the reason for getting stuck at NAND write flash and what should have happened to my phone after OMAP Flash was complete?
Furthermore I was also thinking if using a USB jig would help me get back into fastboot.

After OMAP Flash, you should still see the "connect phone to PC" picture with yellow exclamation, but now Odin should have worked. Not sure why it gets stuck on NAND write flash. Maybe try un-checking the F. Reset Time option. Someone about a week ago said that it worked for him.
With me not reading about Samsung latest OTA locked bootloader , I rooted my phone, installed TWRP and updated SU, them I am stuck at a soft brick at the download mod, I have tried every possible way with ODIN to no luck, I always kept booting to the damn download mod, then accidentally I was able to flash this pit file to bypass the stuck download mod and was able to boot normally
All you need is ODIN and the attached pit file,
1. Download attached file and unzip it
2. Run ODIN
3. Click on pit
4. Loacate the unziped SGS-I337_16GB.pit file and load it
5. Click start, phone will reboot when when compelete
6. Done
Thought to share my findings
Good Luck Don't forget to Hit the Thanks Button
This is interesting. Is the PIT file you linked a "signed" PIT file?
The reason I am asking is because the PIT file listed in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323019&highlight=pit
...appears to not be signed and I think people had trouble flashing it through ODIN because it was not signed.
The size of the PIT file in the thread I linked and the PIT file in your post is different so it definitely appears to be a different PIT file.
Where did you get the PIT file from in your post? Was it pulled from a device running MF3 firmware?
Also, people should be aware both PIT files are for 16GB phones. It says so in the file name, but it's worth an extra mention just the same.
Thank, and it will be interesting to find out more information about this.
wait so, this will just fix the fact u tried to flash the recovery on mf3.. u weren't able to downgrade to amdl were u ?

The reason i am asking is because I think people have tried to use the PIT file (the one I linked above) with ODIN, and although ODIN reported it as successfully flashing, it actually did not flash. Of course, the PIT file I linked above couldn't have been from MF3 (it wasn't released at the time of that post), but I was wondering if it was a signing issue with the PIT file that kept it from actually flashing, and if not, what would be the difference between the PIT file posted by the OP and the PIT file that is in the thread I linked (other than being pulled from different firmwares)?
It is my understanding (I might be wrong here), that flashing a PIT file via ODIN to a phone would erase all partition information including ROM, KERNEL, and boot partitions. Without this information (in this case a MF3 TAR file) being flashed through ODIN directly after a successful PIT file flash, how could the phone successfully boot back up into MF3? And we all know an ODIN flashable MF3 TAR does not yet exist.

As much as I would like to see it work, I don't think it would be a good idea.
A. If the OP was on MF3, how did he even attempt to install TWRP as was stated?
B. (I mentioned this in one of my lasts posts in this thread) If the PIT fil actually has flashed successfully, how would any information (other than partition information) remain on his phone? Wouldn't the PIT file wipe it completely...requiring the OP to immediately flash a firmware TAR file...which does not exist yet for MF3?
Something either is very right with this (a breakthrough) or is very wrong with this.

I am theorizing (just a theory) that the PIT file actually did not flash through ODIN. It reported as flashing correctly (successful), but as others have experienced, it was a false positive and didn't really flash. I am guessing the OP's phone started to work because of the method ODIN used to reboot the phone somehow bypassed the bootloop caused by trying to put TWRP onto MF3. I have seen a couple of recent posts where people were able to boot their phones by somehow getting into recovery and canceling a certain operation out ( I'm not sure which), causing the phone (that was in a previous bootloop) to start booting correctly.
I hope it is a break through as well, but I am leaning towards my explanation (or one close to it) as the reason for the OP's success.

And here is another example of someone getting out of a bootloop through Download (ODIN) mode:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44433724&postcount=11
Possibly, Odin triggered a similar reaction.
Actually, the original thread i pulled that post out of sounds very similar to what happened to the OP in this post.
Take a look at the OP of this post to see what I mean:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398336
So, I think my theory is correct. The PIT file never actually flashed, it was the interaction between ODIN and D/L mode that overcame the bootloop.
But hey, feel free to keep messing around with the PIT file because you never know...

Sorry if this off topic but what's stopping someone from wiping the bootloader partition and flashing the MDL firmware?
I'm not sure if this would be done via a PIT file, ADB script or some other method but in general isn't this the path of last resistance for achieving root/bootloader access?

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?

You need the Root_m919uvuamdl.zip
And then flash MDB setUIDoff .zip

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

Change cable, change PC, download latest Odin version, and reflash stock TMO ROM
Yes cable and USB port can affect Odin's ability to flash

Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and Odin, rebooted my comp and used the Sammy USB cable.
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 .
But glad it worked out and u didnt loose a 600$ phone.

I own three Samsung devices, and my sgs2 will not transfer files or work with adb when I use a generic best buy rocketfish usb cable. The original Samsung cable works every time.

I have seen that a lot.
I actually bought a few spare Samsung ones from eBay to make sure I would always have a good cable.

Well... one case to the next is different. .. ive never had issue using a lg cord moto cord or htc on a samsung device. .
I just think that the op post if you read his initial problem and how it was stated i think it had to do with trying to odin in the pit section instead of pda.
Ive seen this issue before.
Once again glad its fixed

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) ?
I have
Just odin back to a stock rooted LJC rom and it will automagically repartition your phone back the way it needs to be.

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

I have same problem and tried to do things as your guy have shown: get the t0lte.zip and MC2 but the pit re-partition is failed after all just seconds after hit the start. Tried to do with several USBs but no help.
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.

You should not need to repartition. I don't believe they changed to go to 4.3. What happens if you do just the tarball?

My meaning is try flashing the tar file only. Don't add the pit file or check repartition.

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.
Kchannel9.. so you got a new motherboard. Were you ever able to recover any of your data off your old motherboard?
