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.
If u have odin Booted its 1000% NOT BRICKED

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.

No. The cf root method is definitely as easy as it gets right now. Its posted in original development BTW. And no that warning has nothing to do with flashing the wrong firmware for your device. You get that warning when the Odin flash failed or got interrupted. Plug the phone in to the PC with that screen displayed and reflash cf root. Just check your cable/switch USB ports make sure your drivers are installed etc. Sounds like this was just a fluke

Couple of questions before anyone can answer...
1 . How are you trying to update .. through KIES or ODIN ?
2 . How are you connecting it to your computer via USB .. Front or Rear ports ?
Using Kies and side ports on laptop
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Are you using the micro usb cable that came with the phone?
A lousy cable or as mentioned above a crummy usb port could be a source of problems. Also is the laptop plugged in and the s3 fully charged?
Kies uses Odin to flash the firmware update via the USB cable to the phone, so technically you are using Odin. You wouldn't really notice Odin was being used during the flash unless you look carefully at the small dialog in the upper left corner of the s3 screen during the update.
hi, what im trying to do is use odin to install root66 jb rom but before i do that i am running aokp 4.1.2 . do i first need to wipe phone before i use odin to flash rom or is it ok to just go head and install with odin? what i mean by wipeing phone is to wipe data /factory reset wipe cash wipe dav format system and what ever else there is in cwm to do. im just not sure havent done this before so some help would great.. thanks

You'll need to do that wipe sooner or later (otherwise the stock ROM will fail to boot); you can either do it now or wait until after you've done the flash and use the stock recovery to do the wipe. I'd consider doing the wipe first to be easier.
Actually what I'm having issues with is Kies itself. I used a separate computer so that I could download Kies new but it's also a problem. Is there an easier way?

Are you using the kies version from the support page on Samsung.com for YOUR phone? If you're trying to use kies instead of a mini version for a US phone, that hasn't worked for any of the other Galaxy line phones (at least in my experience).
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I don't know if this qualifies as easier (it would for me), but if Kies isn't working for you for whatever reason, you might try just using Odin directly. You can get Odin itself over in this thread, and completely stock images over in this thread; if you want the latest AT&T build, that would be this one.
(If you're slightly more ambitious, you could also try the rooted-but-otherwise-stock images found here, as a gateway to future customisation, but that's entirely up to you...)
Yes it's Kies from the support page. I will try with Odin directly see how that goes. If not I will be back LOL
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
To put it kindly, Kies is a steaming pile of cr4p. To be honest, upgrading via Odin with the official ROM is the best way to go. I spent days trying to get my phone to connect to Kies and it was a mess. I went to the AT&T store and they told me that there wasn't anything that they can do, this is an open issue. It works for some people, not others.
Finally I downloaded Kies on my wife's Mac and it worked. So maybe try a Mac?
My sister has a Mac I will try that

Brother did a bad flash, Phone doesnt come on at all. But odin still recognizes the phone. Tried flashing stock from xda. gets stuck on setup.
Again, if pc doesnt recognize my brothers phone you would think its dead, but odin does recognize the phone. Also tried using usb jig, nothing, tried recovery, download modes nothing... Any help is much appreciated.

My first step would be to re-download a stock rom and try to flash it multiple times (which i'm sure you already have done). I know when I had a bad flash back to stock and got a completely black screen, it took me quite a few flash attempts to get it to flash correctly.
ok will do.

I had a similar issue and I managed to recover it by flashing just the stock UVLH1 kernel.
There was also a PIT file packed with Odin which I removed before flashing the Kernel.
I know this is a basic question but did you run Odin as administrator?

I'm currently running task650's current ROM and ktoonz newest kernel . I'm unable to connect my phone to my PC via USB. I've tried 3 different USB cables including the original one that came with the phone. I'm trying to revert to stock to swap out phone, but I can't flash through Odin(cant restore stock recovery) and triangle away won't let me reset flash counter. I'm at a loss for ideas, I've been looking through the forums for days and I can't find anything . I've tried flashing different ROMs/kernels with no luck.

is USB debugging mode on? did you make a nandroid when you first rooted? that would contain the original firmware you were using before flashing anything. are you connecting to your PC after putting the phone in download mode or recovery mode? just covering all the bases, buddy.
Yes I've done all the above, however during a flash of cm10 i soft bricked somehow...and lost all data on my internal.. So I no longer have my original nandroid I'm not new to flashing at all and never imagined that would happen I've learned to expect the unexpected now.

Yes, Ive tried every USB plug under the sun. My phone sometimes gets detected by my computer, and I can browse files but if I try to copy something from it, it freezes half way through, then becomes undetechable. Ive tried to flash through odin but it never works....just get stuck then fails.
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

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?
