[Q] Urgent Help Soft Bricked GT-i9507 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I desperately need the correct .PIT file for an i9507. I have successfully rooted using i9505 method and run a few different unofficial CM11 ROMs designed for i9505 without any issues and working perfectly, however tried to flash another rom and have failed miserably :crying:
I have the stock firmware (i9507XXUAMH2 region OPS) but when I take all the necessary unroot steps and flash with Odin it fails and says "get PIT for mapping" I've found the i9505 PIT files but can't find the i9507 PIT files anywhere on the wen!!
Seeing as the phone roots and runs the i9505 method and ROMs, would it work if I used the i9505 pit file??
Also on my download mode screen its says the current binary: custom yet the system status: official
Any help would be amazing thank you

Dont make this "crazy tests" with your i9507 if u dont want a paperweight. If u have a i9507 use firmwares and ROMS for it, no for i9505.

Idd experimenting with a pit file from an other device is anything but wise

Thanks for reply guys, was just about to post to disregard this question because I got it all back up and running again. Turns out it wasn't the .pit file. I downloaded the original firmware from another source, flashed it and everything was good again. Have re-rooted and restored the custom 4.4 rom I had on there previously.
Again thank you and regards.

Could you please tell us what that other download source was for the original firmware that finally worked?

I know this question was posted long time ago .. But for those who still cant find the pit file for I9507
Download here

You can extract the pit file from the stock ROM archive. If the stock ROM is .tar.md5 just remove the .md5 from the end of the filename then extract with winrar or whatever you like, and then the pit file should be there.

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

Where to find 4.4.2 odin firmware with separated files ( boot, phone, pda, csc )

Hi
after playing with number of 4.4.2 roms on my SM-N9005 live demo unit i tried to flash this 4 files ( boot, phone, pda, csc ) from this thread as i read there that it works well with live demo unit, but i couldnt because it is 4.3 based rom and i couldnt flash bootloader.
Odin gives me an error on the beginning of flashing. So i tried to flash 3 files without bootloader and after odin finished i was stuck in bootloop.
The only solution to get phone back working is to flash stock firmware from sammyfirmware including with .pit file and repartition.
But now i have other problem, bunch of reboots, even on custom roms. Camera gives "Warning: Camera Failed!" I tried few stock roms and few custom roms and not luck with camera.
So i want to try to flash some 4.4.2 rom with this 4 files, maybe with .pit file too, but i cant find a place where i can download them.
I tried with few singlefile roms from sammobile but no luck with getting camera fixed, god knows what i did there. At least camera worked before fine but now it wont open and it is frustrating.
Is there any place where i can download frimware with this separated files? Or is there any way that i can extract them from other firmware that i can download on sammobile?
hi same problem have you find solution ?

flashed wit pit file .. still no success.. I used a European pit file..
where can I find uae pit file.. or the pit file is common
If you can reach boot loader, or even power on in any form it's not a hard brick. - It'll just be a case of finding the correct firmware and PIT file and reflashing.
What software was on before?
What software did you try and flash?

OK if you have tried an EU PIT file, you'll need to find the full firmware for your region as you've probably changed the partition stuff now with the EU PIT. Grab the Dubai firmware (latest if possible) then do a fresh flash via ODIN (use 1.85) and you should be good to go.

Odinable Custom ROM for GT i9500

Ive got my Samsung S4 i9500 edition bricked and i cannt boot normaly....
it cannt boot to CMW / TWRP either but the good news it i can go to download mode with no sweat and odin can detect this phone.
The problem is when i flashed a new rom ( a stock rom) ,it hung at "mapping PIT / Partititon PIT" , even when i used correct pit file. I read some source that because the last rom is custom rom so i cannt go directly to stock rom because the pit partition is ruined. And now i really need Odinable CUSTOM ROM and I try to search .... there is no odinable custom rom for this phone or I have missed.
If there is someone know that precious Odinable Custom Rom ... it would be so great.. Please Help
Download a stock trust pit file for your model phone and flash it with your stock rom with repartition checked! !!!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T530NU HELP PLEASE

I am having a heck of a time installing the stock firmware on this device. It came to me softbricked and I have used almost every firmware available from the XDA official Galaxy Tab 4 forum, Sammobile and even the SAMFIRM tool. I do not know if this is a PDA issue or what, But I have been able to flash the bootloader with TWRP and install some custom roms which makes me think I am using the wrong firmware but I am lost as of right now.
FIRMWARES I HAVE TRIED:
T530NUUEU1BQC1_T530NUXAR1BQC1_HOME.tar
T530NUUEU1AOA2_T530NUXAR1AOA2_HOME.tar
T530NUUEU1ANK1_T530NUXAR1ANK1_HOME.tar
T530NUUEU1AND4_T530NUXAR1AND4_HOME.tar
T530XXU1AOA1_DBT1AOA1_v4.4.2_Repair_Firmware ( 4 file repair) Only one I can find
Other Regions XAC and BNN Firmwares
_T530NUXAC1BQC1_HOME.tar
T530NUOVS1BPL1_T530NUBNN1BPL1_HOME.tar
I have tried multiple cables and odin3 versions
Odin3 v 3.04
Odin3 v3.07
Odin3 v3.12.3 & v3.12.5
Odin3 v3.13.3
Odin always fails on aboot.mbn not matter what...sometimes I can get it to say re-partition failed or secure boot fail PIT or secure boot fail aboot
When I flash the stock bootloader I can see at the top of the screen T530NUUEU1BQC1 and at the bottom Multi CSV, XAR selected.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Anyone have any suggestions at all?
If someone could please let me know what I am doing wrong or any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Something I forgot to mention is whenever I try to flash the stock firmware it always fails on aboot.mbn. I really hope someone can give me some insight on this.
I can't answer your questions, but: Does it have to be the original Stock Rom? Why don't you stay with a custom rom? Dirty Unicorns MM may be old but it's very stable since years on my device.
I mean I don't " have" too install the stock rom but I would like to know what my problem is it would greatly help me in the future on other devices.
I will give dirty unicorn a go.
