Hello,
I have ran into a huge problem with my tab S and I have been trying to fix this problem for weeks on end. The problem is I can't seem to flash my tablets stock rom without it giving me some error message saying "invaild ext4 image". I have done some research and from what I've found I need the PIT file but I can't find it at all. I know you can extract the PIT file from your device but I don't have access to the OS right now, just ODIN and my custom recovery. The OS is 4.4.2 and the Version is T807PVPU1ANK1 before It messed up. I have also tried to flash a higher OS version like 6.0 to the device but every time I try I get a message that says "Image file too large 5000 > 54466" or something like that. The device was not rooted before it broke either. This tablet is very expensive so If someone could please provide me with the PIT file for this device I would greatly appreciate it. (Image below is what the error is)

When Odin fails like that it usually means the firmware is not correct for your device.
It seems here you are trying to flash a very old kitkat firmware.
This may not be allowed by the bootloader if you are attempting to downgrade.
Try the firmware below. I also advise you upgrade your version of ODIN to at least 3.10.6

I assure you that (SM-T807P) is the correct model number because I wrote it down and made sure it was correct. Unless you have the PIT file for the device I doubt I'll get it working again. It needs to be re-partitioned while the OS is installed because no matter what I flash I get the same error.

First, thank you for finding the pit file for me. I flashed the firmware in Odin along with the pit file but this time I got a new error message I'm beginning to think this tablet is not going to recover now. I've tried three different firmwares one gave me the "invalid ext4 image" while other firmwares gave me the error message "Volume Size is too big 5120000 < 5929600"

I would use Smartswitch or kies to download your firmware to ensure its correct.
Select firmware upgrade and type in your model and serial.

I think I know why I get an error when I flash firmware now. The pit file I flashed to my tablet wasn't for the 10.5in version it was for the 7in model. I don't know if the 10.5in and 7in share the same pit file but if they don't then that's my problem.

Thats the serial for the battery. Try downloading Samsung phone info. Im not sure if it gives the serial or not, cant remember.
Also not sure what you mean about the pit file, its definitely for the t807p?

Hi all im having a problem with my factory unlocked n7100 i have downloaded the latest united kingdom 4.1.2 from the firmware section and flashed the 3 pda/csc/modem files with odin everything went fine but when the phone reboots i get two error messages (unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped) & (unfortunately messaging has stopped) i have cleared cache and did a factory restore but the problem is still there the message app just crashes it is a fresh install no back ups and never been rooted also when i connect it to kies it says it is unable to update the version of firmware thats currently on my device i would like to use kies or OTA updates in the future any help would be much appreciated i have been searching for hours to no avail.
Try reading through Dr Kevin's threads again, just to be sure. Re-download the rom you want, from a different source and double check the MD5. Doesn't sound permanent, just a bad flash. Make sure you wipe everything again.
Thanks for the reply i re-downloaded the the same firmware again from sammobile incase somehow it became corrupted the first time with no luck same result could you point me to another sourse to download firmwares i have tried a similar firmware from another site but it on gave me the one file instead of the three which i flash with pda within odin but the problem was still there

Might the same as the Sammobile but if the MD5 checks out, it should be fine.

I have tried the firmware given and several others from different sources still no luck i have noticed that all the official roms i have downloaded came as one file which i placed in pda slot on odin and flashed but the the first 4.1.2 firmware came as 3 parts pda/modem/csc it was after i flashed that rom i notced the problem with both error messages so maybe its something todo with the modem/csc files that were flashed ? I cant find another BTU firmware with 3parts to reflash i have also tried other region firmware

Once you flash the firmware, go to recovery mode and Wipe Data/Cacde... Make sure that you have backup of the phone contents.

The one file has all the other files like modem,csc in it.. This kind of error usually happens if the data is not wiped out. But as you said you have already done that several times, I don't know what might be the problem..
As you said that you are having unlocked N7100, I hope you downloaded this file http://www.hotfile.com/dl/229498497/9ffa6b9/N7100XXDME6_N7100OXXDME2_BTU.zip.html
Yes thats what i thought that all files were included in the one yes that is the exact one i have on it now i also tried it from different sources just typed *#1234# into the dialler what i have is ap: N7100XXDME6 CP:N7100XXDME4 CSC:N7100XXDME2 ? I appreciate the Help

Usually the product code is set when you Factory reset your phone in Recovery mode.. In your case it has not changed.
I checked in the Sammobile for Ireland based roms. But all seems to be carrier branded. So BTU rom should ideally work as it contains EIR CSC

Yes Sure someone more knowledgeable can help,you can PM your problem to Dr.Ketan (Search in this forum) he is rely genius.
Look my signature for N7100 toolbox, find PIT and download it
extract to .pit
Flash that PIT for PIT tab of odin (selecting pit will auto select re partition optiuon, keep it selected)
Again repeat but this time along with ROM file (single file ROM also enough). Rom file for PDA and pit file for PIT
Flash and report back.
I have a demo model Samsung SM-T320x i have flashed the right .pit file and got correct allocated storage but the final issue i have is that when the tablet starts up i get samsung live demo unit show. I believe this is part of the bootloader can anyone confirm this for me please? If so does anyone know how i can flash a new bootloader?
Thanks for everyone's help so far

I suppose you flashed a ROM after you repartitioned your device.
Which one?
Also can you post screenshots to see what you mean?

I flashed the .pit file with official firmware from sammobile.com the flashed unofficial CM11 nightly.
I am unable to provide a screen shot of the actual device due to the live demo unit displaying at first startup. I have googled an image but of a different device to give you an idea.
Thanks again

I don't know about that, but I have read in the forum about Knox resetting about a procedure that a guy used to restore his soft bricked phone. He states that "I used the Samsung KIes emergency firmware recovery tool!".
If flashing the Stock ROM via Odin didn't do your thing perhaps the mentioned procedure will. The tricky part is that "... it wants you to report a few numbers under the battery". Perhaps it's the Serial Number which you can get without removing the battery.
Perhaps what applied to Knox resetting will apply to your issue too. Let me know how it goes.

That doesn't fix issues for those of us that need to have the full stock firmware to re-Odin with. Guess those of us in the same boat wait a week or so. My problem was removing the knox files with root explorer. Bad move. Makes the phone unbootable. Called Samsung tech support and they confirmed that. Rooting no problem. Recovery screen totally blank. Never get to see the the white/green screen some say they have for a recovery screen. The magic use volume up keys 7 times etc I have seen posted don't work for me. Samsung specifically told me the stock firmware is proprietary, so they wouldn't give it to me. I can wait a week or so for developers to get their hands on appropriate files, including a custom recovery that actually works...like good old TWRP :victory:

have you tried to flash the S6 file? not the S6 edge but the S6. Try to get yourself in download mode and do that. Make sure you are using the correct odin. That is what happened to me and I was able to obtain ROOT.
If you can get into download mode, you can now use Kies to install the stock firmware. Just did it about 3 mins ago.

I used Kies to restore the Firmware. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the Firmware file on my computer (Or could not figure out how to use it). I did see a temp file that was the correct size, but it's name and extension were wrong. I tried to open the file using 7-Zip and WinRar, but neither would open it. At that point, I just allowed Kies to do it's job, and it worked well. Removed ROOT and am now running Stock Firmware and Stock Recovery. KNOX is still tripped, but I don't care at this point.
In Kies, use the option: "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization". You will need your Model Name and Serial Number. Found on the box or in Settings if you can get there. I've got a T-Mobile Edge, so my Model Name is SM-G925T. Your serial will be unique.

I deleted via root explorer a slew of knox fies. Samsung told me by doing this, it renders the phone non bootable. That is why I need a full stock firmware tar file I can use in Odin, to flash the original complete firmware for my 925 Edge.Removing root, re-rooting, will not help. Chainfire said that SamMobile rleased the firmware files but all I get is web page not available. Grrrrr. Really wish someone would post the file in the Development sections or at least provide a working link.

I had also removed all of the KNOX files, and most of the Samsung Files trying to get close to AOSP, but it became unstable. Kies re-installed the COMPLETE firmware again and all the stock files returned. I don't mean it removed ROOT only, it flashed the complete firmware. Kies uses ODIN internally to do the flash.

Okay I was able to find a workaround on how to restore my phone through Kies without getting an error.
do the following: 1) open Kies, click on tools, Firmware upgrade and initialisation, enter your model number and serial number and let it download the firmware, after an hour or so depending on your connection speed the firmware will be downloaded and your phone will reboot into recovery to install the firmware. done

That's exactly what I was saying to do a few posts back. Did it yesterday and it worked fine.
EDIT: I'm going to run through it again and see if I can find the downloaded file. I believe I found it last time, but it was not a TAR file, rather a temp file specific to MY phone. But I'll try again, and if I get it, will post it here.

No problem, as long as we all get there at some point. The temp file that Kies downloads is called tmpE635.tmp It ends up being about 1.6GB in size. I tried to open it using 7-Zip and WinRar, but neither will open it. I'll post it in case anyone wants to try using it in ODIN. I don't know if it is specific to MY phone, or the T-Mobile S6 Edge in general (SM-G295T).
But, honestly, I would suggest you use Kies yourself so you are positive to get the correct file. You WILL get the error message that says Kies does not support your phone, just ignore that and keep going.
Phone Serial Number
I just realized that the Serial Number Kies is asking for is not on my Box. It's in the settings/about/status menu, and also on a sticker that is stuck to the Plastic Wrap that was around the phone in the box. Looks sort of like this: R58G31D1PBA. So, if you cannot get into your settings, or don't have that plastic, I'm not positive how you will get it to start the download. Maybe if you just use someone elses serial number, that will start the download???
EDIT: Link to the Temp File from Kies (not sure you'll be able to do anything with it)

WTF
Had the download stall on me twice, 35 and 47 percent.
Hi,
Does anyone have one or know how to get it?
Odin is not able to download one.
Thanks,
Maced

Odin was not made for downloading anything.
Afaik it's integrated in the CSC.... file.
I've extracted it once and you're free to use it of course no warranty or anything.
Btw. what happened that you have to repartition it?
Thanks, actually I am not sure I have to.
To be totally honest - its first time I am trying to install a new OS on this device - it has original version now.
Was just following instructions online - I am not 100% aware about ins and outs. Also it seems JOdin does not allow install without PIT.
It says that the your PIT is corrupted.
Thanks!

Usually you uncheck repartition.
pit may afaik only be needed when device has lost it.
Odin works without.
You only flash TWRP with it and after that you don't need it anymore until you wanna turn back to stock.
Mine is from dbt stock firmware perhaps that's why.
Silly question but you've unpacked it?
@maced now that I'm home I've checked.
Extracted it from this stock file I've got via samfirm_reborn0.3.6.2: "CSC_OXA_T325OXA1BQB3_CL10765915_QB12683141_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar" what you can do yourself from the file suitable for your device.
Tried everything. Searched through the webs for past couple of days. Everything failed.
Majority of articles are from times of Ancient Rome. None work and are outdated.
Reflashed stock with nand erase and pit file. Checked and failed.
Tried root related solutions? Checked and failed.
Searched modem file. Failed.
Downgrade to prev version? No longer plausible. Due to BIT.
I flashed and reflashed with odin numerious of times. Nothing. Useless. Absolutely useless.
did u solve it?
Did you guys find anything? I think I'm gonna go check at a repair shop for someone with the z3x box and hope for the best.

Nope, he said no matter what rom he flashed it was always unknown IMEI.
However I found something interesting, turns out my IMEI and baseband numbers are intact when I check them from recovery. Maybe downgrading this phone should fix that, although I'm not sure if it is possible.

no, its not possible because of the bit.... can you try using an old modem to see if it solves the problem?

its the CP file in odin
try flashing one from may or august.. don't try november or newer
You need to download an older firmware (older than november, never try that ****ty november update!) of your country's a32 and use just the cp file

I'll get an older firmware from sammobile and get back to you if anything different happens. Just as a note, someone here on XDA said they were able to downgrade when using a Magisk altered ROM.
Edit: I found something similar on another samsung phone here on XDA: thread here.

Could you flash it with a magisk modified rom?
@Mighty_Rearranger maybe you could try flashing an android 12 gsi? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sing-odin-without-twrp-phh-lineageos.4114435/ I don't have the phone with me right now so I can't test it

OK I tried doing that and now phone is bootlooping with secure check fail md1img error, that's the anti-downgrade thing complaining. No luck down the downgrade hallway.
I think the only option is to wait for a possible solution from the Magisk people or check if a future update somehow fixes the problem.

how do you check them from recovery? I was able to see them once after a botched flashing, entering download mode, there was a "show barcode" option or something like that.
I have read in an older thread in this forum, some guy solved it by downgrading, but to a version which is impossible to downgrade to for us, because our phones already came with the AUJ4 firm, and acannot go back.

what's the idea? there aren't any custom roms, are there?
or you mean this way it could be possible to downgrade?

i don't know probably, and we could get a backup from someone with a not fricked phone and edit it to our imeis
