[solved] pit file not found error - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Many posted here about a PIT file not found during odin flash which results to FAIL by Odin.
This is how i solved it.
Was on stock MDL when i tried to root using MOTOCHOPPER which failed with SUPERUSER icon in my menu.
in was not rooted and had the superuser app in my menu. so tried to reset the phone from settings/accounts/backup and reset, which
resulted in data wipe but problem not solved. so i tried to install OUDHS Cwm based recovery through odin. this also failed first but managed to install it using a diff comp. now after this i had a binary update installation failed issue also.
I downloaded Odexed No Data Wipe Zip from the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258384
and flashed it with the cwm based recovery. the rom has su and fresh binary in it so my binary issue was solved.

see the above image, that started after i flashed the Odexed No Data Wipe Zip and my wifi was not switching on. got stuck again.
i had read in some post that many devs do not include PIT file in custom rom to avoid ^%$%$#$ during flashing, crossed my finger and
used qbking's method to unroot, that is by downloading stock MDC firmware through the samsung site and oidining it with only autoreboot checked, flashed perfectly fine without pit file error. now my phone is completely stock as in out of the box i got the MDL ota as well.
not gonna mess anymore anytime soon.

Unable to update baseband/modem.

Baseband version is currently OA3.
No matter what I do, it's stuck on OA3. I've tried flashing the standalone OD2 modem and I've also tried ODIN'ing the full stock firmware. The baseband does not change. I even found a guide that says ODIN the stock firmware, root and run Triangle Away, then ODIN the stock firmware again. No dice.
Am I stuck on OA3 baseband forever or is there something I"m missing?
Try this, power phone completely down (pull battery out if you want). Boot into download mode and flash modem again.
Deactive reactivation lock if active

Check settings/security/Reactivation Lock, turn it off. Triangle Away hasn't worked since Jelly Bean. Also turn off Auto Reboot and F Time Reset in Odin.

Want to unroot, need help please

Hi,
I'm new to android and recently rooted my Galaxy S7 Edge AT&T Snapdragon and now I want to unroot and return to stock but I'm having trouble.
To begin, I can't access recovery mode anymore. I get a message in the top left corner of the screen that says something about "custom rom blocked". I tried to follow instructions I found on XDA on how to unroot and return to stock. I downloaded the files and used Odin to flash it, it begins to do something and then gives me an error.
What am I doing wrong or how do I fix it? I apologize if I'm not explaining this the greatest, like I said I'm new to this and don't understand it much. All I want to do is wipe the root and return to stock. All help is greatly appreciated!

If Your phone works then try this ^
If Your phone is dead then post the log from Odin.
Thanks for the help! I tried it multiple times and it says each time "uninstallation failed". Could it be the issue I'm having with the recovery image?

I don't think so, but I guess that the best thing You can do right now is to just reflash the whole phone with Odin, but since You get errors in Odin I need to see the log.
I successfully unrooted last night using these instructions and the files provided. I don't know if it'll work for you though.
Instructions: https://stockromupdate.com/how-to-flash-stock-rom-samsung-smartphone/
Files: https://stockromupdate.com/2016/08/...galaxy-s7-edge-sm-g935fd-6-0-1-g935fxxu1apgf/
Note: Make sure you ignore the Home_CSC file AND the Pit tab in Odin. Never touch "Pit" unless you know what you're doing. And also note that the ROM provided might not be the one developed for your country, but it should work fine.

Search how to flash firmware with Odin, simple stuff and it should get you out of your pickle
Fully aware how 2 use odin but not sure how that's going to help I've installed 2/3 firmwares to no success m8No m8
Do you not upgrade firmware through Kies.
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
No m8 I don't really upgrade just either bang a rom on it or download firmware and odin it
Fully aware how 2 use odin but not sure how that's going to help I've installed 2/3 firmwares to no success m8No m8
Kies as in to fix factory mode .
You can download stock firmware from sammobile
These are odin compatible.
I had a similar situation when i flashed custom rom with latest twrp. (I used twrp 3.0) So i got stuck on download mode. After many searches i found how to use odin and flashed stock firmware. Then rooted it, changed recovery to custom and then flashed custom rom with twrp 2.8.7
Also provide your model no. and what you flashed so that more experienced guys can help you to come out from download/factory/odin mode.
Will do I've flashed a few bobcat and darklord to name 2 of them with same outcome I'll take screenshot on boot up

			
				
Just went ahead and googled for the heck of it... would "This" be a solution to your problem?

Samsung Note-3 N9000q stuck at initializing while flashing with odin

My n9000q started to stuck at black screen after samsung logo when booted. I tried to flash twrp recovery from odin to recover my files via backup. But after i tried to flash with odin it stuck at initializing. I tried different versions of odin but non of them work. Now i can't enter stock recovery either. How can i get past that initializing problem ?
Please tell what you did and what firmware etc .
as i say i tried to flash twrp3.2.1-0-ha3g with odin 3.09 with auto reboot and f.reset time checked re-partition unchecked. I don't know about firmware model and i don't how to check now while device is softbricked.
Try an older 2.8 TWRP.
The model number will be shown on the screen with the phone in download mode.
Post a screen shot or Odin log. These items are very helpful when helping other XDA members.
Model number is sm-n9000q never updated firmware before. As suggested i tried older twrp (2.7.1.0 and 2.8.5.0) it didn't work either.

What TWRP was on the phone before problem.
before problem it had stock recovery no twrp. The phone is full stock before.
Sorry I read OP recover files through backup and assumed backup =TWRP.
I tried but didn't succeed :/
All I can suggest is try different USB cables and USB ports.
Did you have a look through this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...elopment/recovery-official-twrp-ha3g-t3406899 ?
I look through that post and tried other ports and cables but none of them worked.

Help recovering soft-bricked Galaxy A3 (2017)

Hello,
sometime ago, I tried to install a custom ROM (it required a repartitioning script) on my old Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) - SM-A320FL, but after many attempts I wasn't able to install the OS through the custom recovery (OrangeFox R11.0) so I gave up.
Now I decided to go back at it and give it another shot, but first I wanted to return to Stock ROM to see if everything was okay.
After flashing everything with Odin, the installation of Oreo fails, and so I'm stuck in the Stock Recovery.
I tried to flash the phone many times, I even tried doing Nand Erase and Re-partition by using the PIT file that was in the ROM I downloaded, but the outcome is always the same
(On the first reboot I can see the Android updating page, the installation fails, it throws me in recovery - If I reboot the phone it remains stuck on the white Samsung screen).
The stock Recovery always shows this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I downloaded the firmware files using Friya 1.4.4.0, with the Model set as SM-A320FL and the CSC as ITV (unbranded).
Maybe I choose the wrong CSC, and this is why it's not working, but I'm not sure. The other country codes for my country (IT) should be the following:
FWB, GOM, HUI, OMN (Vodafone), OXA*, TIM, VOM, WIN, XET
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Honestly, I'm not sure on how this error can still persist after a complete re-flash of the device, so I'm here asking for your help. Thanks.
