Downloaded and installed OTA KitKat update on my note, phone was perfectly stock, not rooted. After installation the phone is stuck in a bootloop and displays "BOOTING RECOVERY..." but cannot boot to recovery, just restarts over and over.
Tried reflashing via ODIN the stock 4.4 update with stock recovery. Also tried flashing TWRP, Philz and the phone will never boot into recovery - it never gets past the Galaxy Note 3 logo screen.
It occurred to me that there could have been some problem with the PIT that occurred during the initial flash but I cannot flash any of the SM-N900T .pit files found floating around the forum either! The phone returns the SECURE CHECK FAILED: PIT error. Seems like the PIT may need to be a signed file in 4.4? Anyone have a signed PIT file?
Bring to tmobile show Em it won't boot. New phone in mail 2 days later. Just did it last week

Unfortunately I'm not in the US and I don't have t mobile so warranty replacement won't be so easy.

Did you have any luck acquiring a signed PIT file? Any help is appreciated.

None so far.
I'm not seeing any PIT files that will flash under the 4.4.2 bootloader.

Did you ever try using Odin 3.7? I for some reason can flash the PDA file but I have a different PIT file which obviously seems not to work... I think I just need the correct PIT file but am unsure where to get it for 4.4.2... This new update has been a nightmare..

Yeah, I tried odin 3.7, 3.9 and hemidall. Same results, secure check fail: Pit
Update: Looks like there are two versions of the 4.4BL, the latest of which checks for a signed PIT file. It won't work to flash any 4.4 pit from say, a few months ago. Need a PIT fie from someone who updated their phone in the last 2-3 weeks.
*** Nevermind, after a third Odin flash it worked.
Same thing happened to me, stuck on "BOOTING RECOVERY". Any resolution to this?
No solution that I've found. I've tried flashing multiple SM-N900T pit files found on XDA, all return the SECURE CHECK FAIL: PIT error. The phone will not boot into the stock recovery and returns the RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING error with custom recoveries. I've tried the latest versions of TWRP, CWM, etc with the same results.
As this update isn't really out in the wild recently I'd say that updating to 4.4 OTA is a pretty big risk at this point.
Hello
It looks like I've bricked my Tab S 8.4 (no carrier), so I downloaded Heimdall 1.3 (I'm a Mac user) and the appropriate stock ROM in the tar.md5 format. My problem is now that Heimdall can't pull off the necessary pit file from my tab, meaning I can't flash the ROM... Seems that I need a pit file for the SM-T700... Is there any way to get out of this problem? Has someone the pit file for this device?
Many thanks for helping me I'd really appreciate it as I'm stuck here
I have a working tab s 10.5 inch. I would like to know how to get a pit file from a device also in case if something fails. Anyway I do believe you need a pit file so odin or heimdall can flash the rom correctly.

I think there's a thread where someone posted the pit for the 10.5.
Seems like I need one for the 8.4 (Wifi only).
I think it's best if I post a second thread for the request of a pit for the 8.4.
Hi, my note 2 gtn 7105 lte has been stuck in bootloop for the past 2 weeks. I've tried to flash latest stock firmware, pit file, cwm recovery, odin. Its still the same. And when i tried flashing using recovery mode, the phone dies off. The battery is new and in good working condition.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
Are you sure you used the right pit file?
pit file
Yes sir.. I used the pit file for samsung note 2 7105 found on xda.
I tried flashing a stock firmware downloaded from sammobile and the flash was successful. Auto re-boot was selected so the phone rebooted but it booted into download mode. I flashed the same firmware again and this time odin stays stuck at NAND write start. I googled the problem and found out that problem can be fixed by flashing a pit file. I can't find the pit file anywhere online. How do I solve the issue? Can anyone provide the pit file? Will flashing the pit file fix the problem?
Check which firmware you are flashing and confirm that it matches your phones firmware, then first try without PIT File but make sure Modem and CSC are select, else brick the phone completely and then install Stock ROM but make sure you select it according to your country
