Who can do true pit file for GT-N7100? I got Pit Magic but I cann't do. Please help me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916936
I need the PIT file from a GT-N5110 PLEASE!! My partitions are messed up , did a little to much of flashing and testing.
Edit: solved
Solved , ha I saved my tablet the second time from a near hardbrick.
I need to stop my flash addiction . But it is so thrilling, Oh the tablet is dead :crying: , Ah it is back a live .....
More info , I tought I messed up partition as I got stuck in bootloop (again) and restoring EFS didn't solve the problem.
I noticed I marked "NAND erase all" in odin by accident and that was the reason why I got myself in this mess.
So never use that thing in Odin.
How I figured out what was wrong , well that was easy , I had stock recovery on my tablet as I installed a official samsung firmware.
So I started up recovery (stock) and it gave me some info , data partition could not be mounted.
I used the stock recovery to do a data/factory reset and it solved the problem.
Next thing I will do is get my PIT file , you need to do that from within linux but that is no problem got both running on my system. Just need to find out on how to extract it, google will help me...
I want to know everything about this tablet , and make sure it is unbrickable if you just got the right files.
So the PIT file is the next I want , that is what you need when you mess up partitions.

Hi civato, you can extract the pit using heimdall on windows as well.
On my device this corresponded exactly to the file I get directly from the device as root with
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=n5110.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=8192
I have never used the pit, the emergency has not happened yet for me, so I can't.recommend anyone to use this, but someone could compare to verify theirs is the same. Attaching the pit and text description of pit for n5110 ONLY obtained from heimdall:

Oh thanks , will give it a try , best that we start collecting these files as I see a lot of users of samsung devices at one point need it.
I had some strange stuff going one but was able to save the device every time.
This is my PIT file of my GT-N5110 , it is the same as yours but I took it with the latest Heimdall so I think that is why some names are different in the print out text.
If you look at the block sizes you see they are the exact same size as yours. So I'm guessing this is a good backup for the GT-N5110 16GB , now it is up to other users with other devices to do the same.
Had the same problem and followed your instructions, thanks man now my note is back to live. And running your rom and kernel.

I have a 5100 and is also soft briked
Hi,
I have almost the same problem. i don't have the pit file, but I have a N5100 (the 3G model). My problem is that I can't get into reocvery either. I can get into download mode though. Do you think I can use this pit file on my N5100?
I need pit file for n5120 please where I can download it

I use Odin 3.07... you have to unzip the pit file, and select PIT file and open your pit file you unzipped. Tick the repartition box and start the upload.

Hi, using heimdall with Arch-Linux.
Problem: PIT can't flash on GT-N5100.
Question:
Does it right, that the right using of dd is in this case:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=[B]NAME_OF_THE_PIT[/B].pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=8192
A few years ago i'd crashed a hard disk and with the help of robi (Linux-Club.de) i fixed it. (Look here: linux-club.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=118487
So i know, prinzipally i can get an image from the Tablet with dd.
But I'm not a freak.
And I think, maybe it's better to safe the image first, bevore repairing.
That was the way with the harddisk, so no dates has been lost.
I think, the synthax to get an image from the Tablet is like this:
Code:
dd if=dev/sdx of=/mnt/sdx/sicherung/image_Tablet.img
Right?
Before I talk about my issue let me just say that im a noob compared to you guys. I decided to post here because I thought I would be able to get some helpful information. Please do not hate on me.
So I have been trying for a while to root my phone and it has been hard because the only computer I own is a chromebook. I was finally able to get my hands on my dads work laptop which is running linux (zorin os 7 based off ubuntu 13.04) and I decided to try a method I found called jodin3 which is like odin in the web browser. Everything went fine until I clicked to flash. It said that I needed a pit file and it said it could get it off my device. I clicked to do that and it said it failed. I then proceeded to try and find the pit file by going to google and when I had found a link it said that there was an error as you can see in the screenshot (it was taken on my chromebook but its exactly the same on the other computer). Can someone please give me a good link to download the pit file because im gonna need it to root my phone.
Welcome to the site. You don't want to flash a .pit file unless you really know what you are doing. The pit file will repartition your phone and if you use the wrong file, you are likely to end up with an expensive paperweight i.e. an unbootable phone that is difficult or perhaps impossible to fix.
I am not familiar with the jodin tool you refer to or why it needs a .pit file. In Odin you would normally ensure that repartition is unchecked and you would not need a .pit file to flash. Pit files are not usually needed unless you are recovering from a brick or (expertly) reallocating memory. Or flashing a full factory ROM, which will already incorporate a safe .pit file. The .pit file that you want will likely differ depending on your phone's memory size and you didn't specify things like your memory size, OS version or EFS format.
If I am missing something and you truly need a .pit file, then you should be doing a lot more reading so that you understand what a .pit file is and the risks of using one. There are threads on this forum that explain how to create .pit files although I can't personally vouch for their accuracy.
In your place though, I'd use a safer rooting method e.g
