Flashing Stock Firmware without Odin or Heimdall - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

I am having some issues with flashing stock firmware to my Galaxy S9 the Model is a SM-G960F and I have been able to pull a version of the stock formware from the sammobile site. I can flash TWRP and then a custom OS however I need to update the current device to Android 10 Q for the OS I want. I use a Linux system and I have ADB and Fastboot installed and I have no issue sideloading or flashing firmware onto the device. However, the stock firmware comes with a number of .tar.md5 files that I am unsure how to use in order to flash the device back to stock in using Fastboot and ADB. If anyone can provide some assistance. I am running into a wall when it comes to completing this install from Linux
Any assistance is appriciated.
EDIT: Alternativley, If anyone can tell me how to install the Vendors on the S9 SM-G960F without stock update that should work as well.
TIA!

Hi, just went through the process of flashing stock on my S9 too. It was rather a pain in the a**.
First of all, you will not be able to flash full stock to a Samsung device (in download mode) using fastboot/adb, those don't work with Samsung devices.
In general fastboot is useless for Samsung.
You can just go ahead and extract all those .tar.md5 files with tar -xvf filename.tar.md5.
(Use CSC if you want to wipe data, otherwise HOME_CSC. Although I'm not totally sure in which cases you would have to wipe data manually anyway.)
There should be a vendor.img file somewhere, I think you can just flash this via TWRP by selecting Install > Install image > (choose vendor.img) > (select vendor as target partition).
That would be by far the easiest way.
But I have never tried this way! (At least, all that could possibly happen is a soft brick that can be fixed by going full stock.)
I don't get why you do not want to use heimdall in the first place, as the only way I'm aware of to flash via bootloader/download onto a Samsung device is heimdall or odin and heimdall is natively supported on Linux.
When you would use heimdall, after extracting the .tar.md5 files, you would find a .pit file somewhere, which shows a mapping of the extracted files to the partitions. You can view this mapping with heimdall --print-pit --file filename.pit.
After this, build your heimdall command like heimdall --BOOT boot.img --SYSTEM system.img ... for each of the extracted files. DO IT ALL IN ONE COMMAND!
Although the version of heimdall I tried to use had a problem. Aparently some versions of heimdall are unable to flash a system.img larger than 4GB.
So I had to overcome my pride and use Windows with Odin for the flashing. (Normally I use Arch btw )
Hope I could help you a bit on your quest with this little booklet.
Best Regards!

Hello,
Thank you very much for this exchange, because I am in a case very near from the Arcticstagmedia's description.
I'm on the same device SM-G960F, looking to flash a stock ROM on Android 10 (Q) before to install /e/ OS (Q) on it.
I did the :
Code:
heimdall print-pit --file STARLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
It returned me :
Code:
Heimdall v1.4.2

And it failed.
I'm a very newbie on Heimdall and Android. I'm not at all a developer, I'm just wishing to learn a bit, to become step by step a more advanced user, and to be more aware of the stuff I'm using everyday.
I'm using NixOS, so I would like to avoid the Odin option. Only if the Heimdall variant fail despite your help, I'll have to do it with Odin through a VM.
Thanks again for this topic, and maybe it could help other people if I can then confirm I did it.

[Solved] rooting SM-T210 under Linux?

Hi,
I actually try to root my Galaxy Tab 3 according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853
But I dont want to install Windows intentionally for this stuff so I try it under Arch Linux (64bit)... I downloaded the JOdin3CASUAL-linux-R991.tar.gz (the browserversion runs neither with jre7-openjdk nor jre from AUR) and installed Heimdall via AUR
But JOdin tells that the automatically generated pit is invalid (The PIT file was corrupt. We cannot continue without a PIT file.)

Does anybody has experience with Heimdall under Linux?
Okay..I didnt get JOdin running correctly (still getting corrupted pit file message), but I got my device rooted via heimdall frontend (thanks to zibrah3ed).
If other linux users are having trouble rooting their devices - you can try this:
1.) download T210.CWM.6.0.4.5.recovery.tar.zip and android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip from here
2.) copy android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip to internal or external sdcard of device
3.) decompress T210.CWM.6.0.4.5.recovery.tar.zip (should give you recovery.tar.md5)
4.) rename recovery.tar.md5 to recovery.tar.gz
5.) decompress recovery.tar.gz (now you should have a file named recovery.img)
6.) put device into download mode with "home+vol down+power" and connect it
7.) verify device is detected via terminal:
# heimdall detect
8.) download pit file from your device via terminal:
# heimdall download-pit --output smt210.pit
(file is saved at the current folder you are situated in the terminal)
9.) let device auto-reboot, then reenter download mode
10.) start heimdall-frontend (I did it with gksudo heimdall-frontend) and click "Detect" (@Utilities tab of Heimdall)
11.) click on Flash tab of Heimdall
12.) browse for the downloaded pit file (@Options PIT)
Make sure "Repartition" is NOT checked/selected
13.) click on "Add" (@Partitions (Files))
14.) change Partition Name to RECOVERY (@Partition Details)
15.) browse for the decompressed recovery.img (@File (recovery.img))
16.) uncheck "No Reboot" & "Resume"
17.) hit start
18.) the device will automatically reboot when finished...
19.) turn off the device and press "home+vol up+power", when the Samsung logo shows up release power button but keep pressing "vol up+home" until you enter CWM Recovery mode (takes little while)
20.) install zip android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip (the navigation is a littlebit weird, but well explained here)
21.) reboot device
After the reboot my PlayStore was broken (displaying "no connection" although I was able to surf on websites in the browser)
Doing a factory reset in CWM Recovery mode helped and I was able to install Superuser.
Would be cool if I get JOdin running because its easier to handle.. but I have no idea how.
Anyways I think this problem is more releated to JOdin thread so mods feel free to close this one.

Can i usw this file for re partion With Odin ?

sry forget to activate thread subscription
here's my pit file downloaded via: heimdall download-pit --output smt210.pit
you can verify that it is the same as from the first post (factory setting) with heimdall frontend
go to Utilities, @ Print PIT check [O] Local File, @ PIT File Browse for smt210.pit, then click on "Print"
regarding Odin: sry no idea, because I dont use Windows and therefore I dont have much experiance with Odin..but I think it should be possible as long as the PIT-files are standardised
you can also try this

Can this pit file be use for the Sprint Galaxy tab 3 7.0?
my PIT file comes from a branded device (german isp 1&1, of which a logo is shown when booting)
but I cant tell if that is problematic, because I dont have another device to test this

need .pit file to return to stock

well i was dooped on another thread saying with root u could sim unlock your phone on your own. it required root according to the thread. so i rooted then found i still had to pay for a unlock code.
so now i want to return my sm-g920p to stock and i can't get it to flash with odin because it hangs on get pit for mapping step. seems my .pit file on my phone is missing or corrupt. is there anyone who has a link to the .pit file for a 128 gig sprint galaxy s6? i have found what seems to be a pretty easy way to pull off the pit file from your phone but mine doesn't seem to be there.
http://techbeasts.com/2015/04/07/how-to-extract-pit-file-from-samsung-devices/
it has to be from a 128 gig SM-G920P from what i have read. if i can get some help i would really appreciate it. doesnt seem i can unroot it without it
i did find a pit magic app that says u can create a pit file from scratch but i can't seem to find any tutorials on how to actually use it

That article will not work for extracting the PIT from a GS6. You need to change the copy statement:
from: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176
to: dd if=/dev/block/sda of=/sdcard/phone.pit bs=4 count=801 skip=6144
Got this from here. This from G920F. Can't besure if it is the same for G920P. I extracted for my G920P - 64GB. It sort of looks like what I got from my S4.

This appears to work. I loaded the extracted PIT into Heimdall and printed it and got this:

when i run it in terminal it tells me no such file or directory
i ran a adb command and it gave me this
801 +0 records in
801+0 records out
3204 bytes transferred in 0.012 secs
i have a file in my sd card phone.pit
if i try to open it with pit magic it tells me an error occured when opening file. does that mean that my pit file is bad on my phone? and if i try flashing it with the pit file and odin i could screw it up?
ok so i checked out the heimdall app and tried to print the pit file directly from device and got this
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12
so when i open local file on the pc that i pulled directly from my sd card i get this

I think that is a legitimate PIT. Would I flash with it? NO! Not with the knowledge I have about PITs. You'll have to look/ask around in the other threads that Koop pointed you to in the OI1 thread.
@sand1303, seriously I would refer back to the link that I posted and ask someone with more expertise than we here can provide.
Thanks for the input. I switched cables last night and it flashed 2nd try. I did try two other samsung branded cables originally but i guess the last one i tried was the newest one. Too bad knox is tripped and samsung pay will never work on it unless someone finds a way to reset it

Having the same issue
Just Softbricked by device this morning while trying to update to Ol1, idk what happened but something failed and now i can only go into download mode or to a screen that says "An error has occurred while updating the device software" tried to download again from sammobile and flash through odin and it gives me an error telling me there is no pit partition, tried flashing a recovery, got nowhere there either, if im not mistaken, the only thing left to do would be to flash the pit and the firmware from sammobile, i cant seem to find a downloadable pit file online, and i cant get it off my phone obviously.. SM-G920P 32GB

Using Heimdall to Unroot Device - Which Partition To Flash?

Hello,
I've seen guides using ODIN to flash the T705XXU1BOL2_T705OLB1BOL2_T705DXU1BOJ1_HOME.tar.md5 file.
However, I'm using Heimdall. In that case, which partition should I flash to?
This is the output of print-pit:

Thanks!
Just use twrp to flash the system.img
do what ashyx said or use odin in virtualbox
Thanks ashyx and Nandr0idC0nsumer.
I didn't realise that you could simply flash stock ROM using TWRP. All guides I have seen pointed to Odin or Heimdall.
In that case, how can I get system.img from T705XXU1BOL2_T705OLB1BOL2_T705DXU1BOJ1_HOME.tar.md5?
Rename the .tar.md5 to .tar. Now open it with WinRAR (free application) and extract system.img and boot.img. Now flash those in twrp and you're done
done it with Odin on Virtualbox. Thanks!

What would be the correct way to install TWRP on a S9 (exynos) using Heimdall?

heimdall ERROR: Failed to unpack received packet. error when flashing stock image

After installing LineageOS 17 on my SM-A520F phone, I got blocked by FRP lock. So I downloaded latest stock firmware from Sammobile and extracted img and bin files (sorry, can't mention the guide used for this). However, when I tried flashing with heimdall v1.4.2 (by running
Code:
sudo ./heimdall flash --BOOT boot.img --CACHE cache.img --CM cm.bin --HIDDEN hidden.img --RADIO modem.bin --PARAM param.bin --RECOVERY recovery.img --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin --SYSTEM system.img --verbose
, I got this error:

I went through couple of posts, but nothing came out of it. I'm on Linux, so I probably can't use ODIN. My phone PIT looks like this:

If I forgot to mention something important, please bear with me, a newcomer.
EDIT: I tried to use another official ROM for my country, only to end up with error
Code:
Custom binary(SYSTEM) blocked by FRP lock.
Would it make sense to try
Code:
system.img
from the other firmware?.
