I heard the pit file is with the samsung stock firmware. But where can I find in that .tar.md5 package? which image file or which folder inside?
I search a long time. No one ask this question.

From what I understand, the PIT file has not been released yet by Samsung. When it does, then it would be possible for the community to convert the partitions sizes from the GS4 to the SG4 GE. Until it's released, we have to patiently wait.

Anyone mind giving me a link to downloading only the 803.pit file?
I have seen it on the forums, but then its only downloadable with another firmware, my internet data bundle won't last if I download that too!
Thanks in advance!!
here it is!

Thanks to Darkstriker (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596)
here you have it
Edit: too slow
At least, no one will say XDA members lack the will to help
it would also have been the first hit on google.

Thanks Mopral, and everyone else who posted ^^
First time I'm flashing my i9000, so just making sure I'm following everything step by step!
Then surely you shouldn't be using a PIT at all?

Froyo isn't available through Kies yet in SA, only in the next week or two
So I've decided to skip the wait and flash with the latest I9000XWJPA firmware, apparently the 803.pit is required, as well as re-partition with the 512.pit with the I9000XWJM8 firmware. Perhaps I'm making a mistake, terribly new to Android
For reference all PIT files and most known firmwares are available from www.samfirmware.com.
Ah, PIT files are only partition information templates for Odin to move the sizes of the internal device partitions around. Everyone should just be using the 512 PIT now as the others were just development hacks. You will already have the 512 layout so there's no reason to even load it into Odin, always just let it flash without repartitioning.
But if you're not sure, then follow the samfirmware instructions, it's making you use the 512 PIT anyway, the 803 being loaded into Odin but repartition not being ticked does nothing.

You don't need a pit or I9000XWJM8, what you need is to flash directly CODE as PDA, MODEM as PHONE and CSC as CSC...no repartition.
If you must re-partition then use 512.pit and these files from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8911755&postcount=83
You need the first download and only one of the three CSC files(I recommend XEE).
Extract once using 7-zip, then load the files as I wrote earlier and PIT as 512.pt and check Re-partition.

Hi
I there a reason for you to act as a policeman in this forum?
Hi there
Back in September, there was a leaked rom of the JB update for Bell. I flashed it successfully and everything went smoothly. But in November, Bell released the official JB update, and I'd like to flash that.
I downloaded Samsung-Updates.com-SGH-I747M_BMC_1_20121121150017_8dyms8nejb.zip from Samsung-Updates.com, but not sure what to do with it. When I put it on the phone, and try and instal it from the recovery screen, it fails.
I've looked at various posts, but can't find the answer to my 2 questions.
- Am I using the proper update from the site mentioned above?
- And how do I go about flashing this onto the phone? (I tried ODIN, but in the PDA, there are options for md5, tar, gz, etc, but not .zip files. I'm just being cautious so that I don't brick my phone.
Thanks in advance...

There are only 2 files in the zip file.
KIES_HOME_I747MVLDLK4_I747MOYCDLK4_538866_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
SS_DL.dll
Thanks for replying.
Can I flash the md5 file with ODIN? What's the purpose for the dll then?

^^^ This is what you want to use in the PDA section. You can ignore the DLL.
Yeah just flash the md5 file in odin as PDA. I have no idea what the dll file is for
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I just flashed the .md5 with ODIN, and it's working great.
Thanks to all of you for your quick response and help. Very much appreciated.
I need the PIT file for the i747M, does anyone have it? I can find all the other variants, but not the M. Thanks!

Don't get pit files from someone else, you will brick your phone. You can extract the pit file with heimdall from your phone.
I've got AOSP installed on my SGH-M919 so it looks and feels like a 9505 GPE. I want to go back to stock. I'm trying to flash with ODIN and it keeps failing. From what I can tell I just need to flash the PIT file in addition to the tar.md5 file. Unfortunately all I can find is a crappy rapidgator link that's going to take ~20 hours to download a complete ZIP file with a bunch of extraneous crap (beyond the PIT file).
I want to know if there's a place to get just the tiny PIT file? Maybe there's a better place to download the full ZIP file than RapidGator? I've tried google. I've tried XDA search. "Help me forum posts, you're my only hope."
Try this link. let me know if it works.

Thanks... but unfortunately my answer is "nope - neither the M919 or the M919n links worked." I got to an ultraspammed 4shared download page with a 20 second counter that never counted down. I tried every link and they were either an unrelated clicktrap ad or an attempt to steal various social network permissions.

Forget about pit.
Just flash this one
https://mega.co.nz/#!k1gEzDgQ!nDZe4sVHm9UEeZOaC1UKAxUnoLmQZGYCQ5VLvX6dFag
via odin PDA or AB(if odin 3.09)
THE MOST important that your cable is connected to you PC straight, w/o any usb hubs
If odin fails - change the cable, 99% your cable is bad
and you'll be fine on latest firmware/baseband
for root and knox look here

This is in the wrong forum.
Good Hello Everyone,
I rooted my SM-G985F but the camera stopped working and I don't know what caused it! Some users report theirs is working. Can you help me narrow it down or even fix this issue?
I patched AP TBM with MAGISK 72f6770d and then with 7z, I replaced the kernel with this one flashed all files in odin. And it seems like I have root, although only magisk modules worked so far from what I tested like @geiti94 said because of limitations of only read. Yeah only downside for me, I can't use the camera.
Did I used a old version of Magisk?
Did I replaced the kernel the wrong way?
Is it because my device is 4G?
thanks for help.
its because you used a kernel from another phone model.
instead, extract "virgin" boot.img.lz4 from ap file, tar it up and send to phone, patch in magisk and flash from odin.

Oh Dude someone replied! Should I do it like this:
extract with 7z or RAR the boot.img file from a clean/stock AP file.
tar it up? What does that mean? just change the file extension? Just renaming it? Or is a different process?
and then just the boot.img via odin in AP slot or whole firmware?
sorry I know many noob questions...
But thanks so far.
