Looking for the old bootloader of N8000 (sboot.bin) I also found what appears to be a rarity for our N8000: the Pit file (Partition Information Table)
1) N8000 - N8013 - PIT file
I examined it with a exheditor and I also found in what block of memory is in the N8000, and that is a small portion in /dev/block/mmcblk0 and exactly after 34 sectors of 512 bytes each, with a length of 2396 bytes,
Don't seems instead, like other cell or samsung devices, there is a dev \ block dedicated.
So now not only we have Pit file but you can also save the file pit of your N8000 and also of 8013
I was able to verify that the pit file I found is exactly the same pit file of my N8000!
I made (based on other examples) a batch file (I tested, but try it for yourself) that save your PIT file in the sdcard automatically by ADB commands; need to have super user rights .
Here the bat file for N8000:View attachment N8000_SaveMyPitFile.zip
Here batch file for N8013 View attachment N8013_SaveMyPitFile.zip
This is the adb commands used:
shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/My-N8000.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=2396
Here instead the file pit found in a Russian site: View attachment Note10_PIT.zip
I hope this will be usefull for those have bricked the N8000, even with the help of the bootloader file sboot.bin.
Here pit file of 8013 View attachment My-N8013.zip
2) N8020 - PIT file
For N8020 start address is the same of pit file of N8000, but has more lenght
This is the command dd for N8020
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/My-N8020.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=2924
This the pit file of N8020 View attachment My-N8020.zip
This the bat file for extract Pit file View attachment N8020_SaveMyPitFile.zip
Edit:
Here can found firmware with every file for Odin (incluse old bootloader ) for bricked note (russian language) http://narod.ru/disk/63365822001.6b115b2c7e18ce43c43f68567fe4d915/GT-N8000_mgt.zip.html
Another thing: If you have last blocked samsung bootloader (sboot.bin), you must make downgrade of bootloader if you want that Triangle away reset count to 0 and not to 1; i have tested it!
Thanks for this (and the warning about the new bootloader and the flash counter!)
My N8000 was working normally on the latest official not rooted rom (N8000XXCMD1_N8000RBTCMD1_DBT) and all of a sudden on a normal restart it hang on the samsung screen & when i tried to put it in the downloading mode it gave me the following lines
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
i connected it to my laptop & the ODIN discovered it but when i tried to flash a rom it gave me an error related to the partition. Any idea how this can be solved please.
how can i use this 5 files rom to fix this problem...should i just flash all the files at once through ODIN (and should i include the bootloader)...i really need help here please

I would try this:
downloaded the file that the link at the end of my first post
You have all in that file: the file pit, modem, bootloader and csc ECCC ... you need to enter in odin each file in the right place; the language is Russian; check repartition so you save the file pit on your N8000
See if you can flash so...
If you have a locked bootloader,It may be that you are unable to flash it; in which case you will need to downgrade the booloader via adb
Ok?

You can do by yourself.
Use Framaroot for simple and quick root: with framaroot: you can root and unroot in one click; no new recovery need, your status is always official!
If you have recent firmware framaroot works with the last two options
With your N8010 rooted you can use the bat file in the first post of N8000 and send me
I can look it with an exheditor and tell you if is good and completed, so i can add in the first post your pit file of 8010!

You can use this batch file View attachment 1971542 that write via adb only theold bootloader sboot.bin (german bootloader)
These are the command via adb (thank to Odia xda-user) for all three file sboot.bin tz.img and param.bin
you can look in this post for S3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081748

Can i save my .pit file on Galaxy S2 (GT-i9100G)?
Why this and are different?
N8000
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/My-N8000.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=2396
N8020
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/My-N8020.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=2924
Which command i should use?
Honestly, in our case I'd save the entirety of /dev/block/mmcblk0 somewhere, just-in-case. You can pick out the PIT later, but this way you're covered all ways.
8010 PIT

Your file is too much big
Looking your pit it seems have the same size of N8000 so you must use the same command for N8000
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/My-N8000.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=2396
Please use this command and repost your pit file to confirm it

Anyone got a PIT file for the 8013? I've looked everywhere. My tablet gets into Odin and nothing else. Won't flash any rom, keeps saying that there's no PIT partition. I even tried flashing a 8010 PIT file out of desperation, but it failed with the same message.
Help?

Yep, with Odin. And I tried all the usual steps. Made sure the port was USB2, installed a 32 bit version of windows, tried different ports, etc. At this point I think either I need the 8013 pit file, or the MMC might be completely screwed.
in serious need of the n8013 pit if anyone has it
Have Your Pit file on Terminal Emulator. Type this:
su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/N80xx-out.pit bs=8 count=481 skip=2176'
This only to devices from 8 and 16GB. Not to 32 GB.

I decided to make this post to help people bring life back to the I9505X live demo unit. I know how conflicting some some sites are so I just wanted to write something all can follow step for step. Hope it helps like it helped me
1 Download rom from www.sammobile.com

11 We need to delete some files from the tar file. to do so i will list the commands below and files that need deleting. after typing each line command please wait while the action completes as it will look like its doing nothing. commands as follows
$ tar --delete --file=samrom.tar NON-HLOS.bin
$ tar --delete --file=samrom.tar modem.bin
12 Once the last command is done just close cygwin (depending on the rom you download there maybe other files that need deleting)
the files remaining should be
boot.img
cache.img.ext4
hidden.img.ext4
recovery.img
system.img.ext4
(you can check this by opening the samrom.tar file with winrar)

same problem here.....seems like the command is not written in the right way
EDIT: I noticedd that when you start the program, it creates a folder inside 'cygwin-home' which is your user name and you have to place the samrom.tar in there in order to delete the two files!
btw the command lines are correct! cheers!!

Well, based on the stock ROM I downloaded it (I9505XXUAMDM_I9505OXXAMDB_I9505XXUAMDM_HOME.tar.md5),I deleted the the files sirus2012 was referring to and I am stuck at a point were the Odin says fail while flashing the ROM....
Trying to figure out if I need to delete another more file from the .TAR
After the FAIL status in Odin, I disconnected the phone, removed battery and placed it again and I had an error saying 'Firmware needs to be recovered via Kies'
I, once then, flashed again the stock ROM(without the deleted files) and noticed there was no WiFi....
So I either have a phone with no WIFI, or an error and phone can't boot
Hope I can find a way out of this!

Don't give up on that.....I think there will be a solution sooner or later....(I'll try to find it asap) because this 'phone' is really good
Or it could be something really small that we can't see and do it wrong.

Well I think I figured it out with my S4 demo unit to make WiFi work.
All the steps were followed BUT...
I DIDN'T delete the two files(modem and NON-hlos) and continued with the procedure
The most important step was .17 which redirects you to another thread about TWRP and Adams Kernel...
Following the steps there where enough to solve my issue.
And now my WiFi works pretty good(so far so good at least for the last 2-3 hours )
Let me know if it worked for you too!
Cheers!
Hello All
I just start to work with Android files unpack and repack jobs, So I needed to extract the CSC file for I9500 model.
- I download the CSC tar file and then extract it using 7zip tool, Inside it i got two files cache.img and hidden.img
- I run this command :
/home/tools/simg2img /home/CSC/hidden.img system_.img
- After that i did this command to mount the img:
mount -o loop system_.img /mnt/system
- After that all is ok and i can check what is inside the img and add apk files or remove them.
- After I did what i needed I wanted to repack it to make it hidden.img again, So i run this command:
mkdir temp
/home/tools/mkuserimg.sh -s /mnt/system hidden.img temp 542xxxx (I puthere the original size of the system_.img using ll command)
- I got the hidden.img
- After that i repack it with the cache.img and get the CSC.tar file.
THE Problem is:
When I try to flash the repacked CSC.tar file it flashed the cache.img, but stop and failed at hidden.img
I looked here on the forum and found many post about i9500 repack steps, but all were talking about system.img or so, I only need to know the Right steps or order to repack the hidden.img of i9500 to be able to flash it via Odin flasher.
Notice: I use the same steps to unpack and repack hidden.img of S7582, S7562, and other models too, All were flashed ok with np.
I hope that someone can help me here.

Unfortunately I couldn't find the pit file, but still there's a way. If someone has a same device as of urs and also rooted, then u can tell him to install android terminal and busybox. Then tell him to type this in terminal:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176
This will extract the pit file from the ROM and will be placed in the internal.
U can post this thing in ur device forum, so someone could help u to give the pit file.???

Maybe you are querying the wrong block. Try this :
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/mnt/sdcard/param.bin

I've tried that block but it's 10mb
The dimension of param.bin it's about 1mb right?
P8 block is 530 kb
Really I don't know what is right block to export.

Size is different on each device.
On the S4 for exemple, it's about 4mb.
According to the stock partition table of N9005, param is located on 10th block.
Edit: you can also use ibs, obs or bs options of dd command to limit the size dumped from that partition.
The content never occupy the exact full size of a partition.

Ok well I will try add new boot img in block p10. I've read a guide for note 4 but when launch tar command it give me error. I'm not expert, simply follow guide at letter.
Do you have another type of command to add new img on param.bin?
Thank you for reply at this thread it's most appreciated.

The guide is very clear, use the provided script if needed.
Make sure you replace 08 by 10 in block name.
Your modified image must be =< 200kb and exactly 1920x1080px.
Sorry can't help more.
Thanks for your help.

Install Busybox (if not already done) then use "busybox tar" instead of "tar"

@freejtd If I remember correctly, you once posted on Phronesis rom thread that you have the note 7 param.bin file. I would like to have that, I'm gonna try to edit Note 3 param.bin with Note 7. I'm also stuck a param.bin untar. I have no errors everything goes perfect but I get no images in param folder (strange). But I'm still trying and need note 7 param.bin

open param.bin with a hex editor. it's empty. this is why you don't get anything after untaring. logo must be located elsewhere i guess. but maybe param.bin from another model would be helpfull for finding the data we are looking for.
