Bricked my sgs4?

Hi, Tried to install root through odin for the first time but the install didn't complete.
Now my sgs won't boot anymore.
It gives, the firmware upgrade error.
I can boot into download mode.
When i try to flash the original firmware for the i9505 it gives an error (something about a pit file missing)...
What can i do to get my sgs4 working again?

seems partitions are corrupt so try getting the 16GB pit file and set it in odin with the repartition option enabled..... and try flashing the new firmware

Under normal circumstances, DO NOT tick "re-partition" during Odin flash of firmware.
Only tick "re-partition" if you have the PIT file as described in previous post
Ensure any firmware (double check !) is that for your specific model.

There's a .pit file in the DOWNLOADER folder at this link: moulnisky DOT com/index.php?dir=Samsung/Firmwares/GT-I9505/
I haven't tested it so don't know if it works, but there you go.
P.S. I had the same issue and restored my phone using Kies firmware recovery mode: samsung DOT com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00048586&fm_seq=52928

[Q] I need help! Soft brick my note 4, need a .PIT file.

My phone is stuck on firmware on "upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried Kies 3 and it doesn't recognise the phone. I tried different firmwares the invalid .4ext error and says the file too big 475000 < 512000 something among those lines. I read that I will need to re-partition the memory with .PIT file for the note 4, which is no where to be found on google. I hope someone will be kind enough to extract the .PIT file from their phone and post it here.
Cheers,
Mus

Me too

I had the same problem. All i did was use Odin to put TWRP on my phone and it booted back up.

N910F
I tried many way nothing happen i cant use odin fail in everything i try to flash with rom or recovery. and now phone keep restarting and i cant wipe data?? anything i add or delete after restart go back like before like nothing happen?????

Guys I tried flash latest Sweden and have same problem size too big and ext4 failed,then I flash Philz recovery and voila phone booted everything its ok!!!

If you download a stock Samsung ROM, remove the .md5 from the end of it, and then extract the archive, you should find the PIT file in there.
I've not had to do it myself, because I'm using an S4 at the moment and was able to get a PIT file download on its own. So I can't verify 100% that it will be there, but I read it in a thread somewhere that it is.
Give it a try..

same problem
i hv same problem. but after instaling all samsung recovery.tar via odin it stuck on start up showing "android is not seandroid recovery."
i hv tried dfrnt stock firmware to flash via odin but all fails. need help?????????????

Thanks, but no pit or xml for pit inside the zip...
And how to use it with Odin 3.10? With Re-partition checked? Can you do a how-to?
Thanks

Load newest drivers for device from:
http://www.samsung.com/support/downloads
To completely flash the device, in ODIN v3.10, Simple load all four parts into there designated slots:
"BL" = BL
"AP" = AP
"CP" = MODEM
"CSC" = CSC
Then check to re-partition, nand erase all.
Charge device to 100% battery!!!
Place device into download mode, hold volume down, home button, press and release power.
Press volume up to confirm.
Connect to computer.
Check the phone bootloader update, and efs clear checkboxes once device is recognized.
Hit the START button!!
WAIT FOR REBOOT!

Wow it works! Tnx! At the first boot the default language is for Greece but the rom works perfectly in Italy and, I presume, in many others european countries. Only an hint for the noobs: in Odin on the CP file selection you must load the MODEM_I9300... file. Good luck!

I edited the instructions! Thanks @orsonbear!

Did you check the re-partition box?
And the pit file where is it?

It is located inside the .tar.md5 file. It will re-partition if you check the box. You can extract it if you like, but if you dont know how....honestly you shouldn't be messing with it, IMHO

Link is dead.. Can you help.. I need to repartition. Thanks

you can create .pit if custom recovery work (example terminal in twrp) or in debug mode (software on forum EFS_Professional)
use any stock rom

Please help. I need that link for my phone. That link already death. Some one please..

cmon, use google find any rom for your phone or samobile

Cmon.. I know what I need. If you have juz giv. And i say thanks.

Why do you need the partition information table?
have you tried to just flash the tar image?

nowadays tar (respectively odin) flashes won't finish and fail because of different partition layout! it throws an error message at almost the end of the flashing procedure!
@OP:
there would be a fix for avoiding the bootloop after such a failed flash: just reenter download mode an flash a recovery tar!
then the system will boot!
take into consideration that the partition which was wrong in size had not been updated! usually this is the hidden.img which won't matter! the system and boot partitions would have been successful!

Hi All
Thanks for the reply. I need the pit file for flash a vodafone official samsung rom. When i try to flash odin say say me not possible becouse i've a different partition.

Help need i9506 32 gb pit file

Hi
I need 32 gb pit file for Gt- I9506. as i messed with odin .
thanks for help.

When you are flashing with Odin, what is the error message? Posting the full log will help determine possible issues.

Hi
i was getting odin fail ext4 errer while flashing orignal 5.0.1 software .
So i tried to flash with pit file but unfortunatly used 16gb pit file and now i can boot in download mode or twrp but internal memory is messed up or wrongly mapped so cant flash any coustom rom.
i think i can still flash orignal with right pit file!
thanks

Please post a link or upload where i can find 32gb pit file !
thanks

Hi Pl. Help! still Cant finde suitable pit file ! Thanks

Hi,
When flashing, did you select repartition? What message did you get from Odin while trying to upload the 16gb pit file, was it successful?
Try to flash a stock firmware, then a custom recovery, and then a custom rom. Sometimes you just need to start over.
Have not found the 32gb pit file yet, but will continue to search.

When Odin gives an error when repartition is selected and no pit file is selected, i think you are fine.
I did not manage to find a file, searched through google and lxquick, browsed a few pages, with no results, sorry.
Since download and recovery still works i do not think any repartition did happen. If Odin failed this time while flashing the stock firmware, please save the log and post it here, makes it easier for us to understand what is happening. Thank you.
