[Q] JOdin3 Casual - Can not load PIT file - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am trying to unbrick my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i using the JOdin3 Casual online applet (I can not post the outside link).
I can connect my phone and everything is fine.
However every time the applet tries to obtain my PIT file it says that it tired but could not do it. If I manually add a PIT file then the applet crashes so I am at a dead end.
Please can someone advise if they can get this working or if there is something else I can try?
I have used Odin on a PC (via VMWare on my Mac) but I can not get the phone to be recognised in 'download' mode.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

You need to use Odin, not JOdin. And not emulated through VM. Odin is a low level utility, sensitive to timing. In short, you need to find or borrow a PC and use Odin to be assured of success. I'm not saying that it's impossible to emulate Odin with VM but many have failed before you and it is at least a difficult thing to accomplish.
Find a PC and run Odin. Even then you may have to try several different USB cables or ports before you get a successful write. Also it is imperative that you pull the battery and use the volume down + home + power button to enter download mode. If the write attempt fails do not close Odin. Instead pull the phone battery a second time, then vol down + home + power again to re-enter download mode. Then attempt the write again. Inevitably it will succeed the second time after the first failure.
Also note that due to the likelihood of existing partition corruption that you should provide a known good PIT file, rather than let Odin try to use the existing partition information from the phone.

Hi fffft,
Thank you for your advice which seems pretty good, I will try and do this via a friends laptop tomorrow.
Do you know where I can get a known good PIT file as that is something I have really struggled with?
Every single one I find the link is dead.
Many thanks

Well you've posted in the S5 forum. Most of the S5 PIT files can be found here.
But you also said that you have a Galaxy Ace, so it's not clear if you are posting in the wrong forum or referenced a different phone that you have by mistake. You didn't give any details of how you searched, so we have no way of knowing whether your search was effective or comprehensive. But most people do not do thorough searches. It's likely that if you spent a few minutes longer or varied your search keywords that you could find the PIT file that you need. Or alternately find someone else with a working Galaxy Ace, in person or online and have them extract a PIT file from their phone.

I have an Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i and it seems wrongly assumed that this was the correct place to put it. If it is in the wrong place can a moderator move it for me or let me know how I can move it?
I am by no stretch of the imagination an advanced user and have searched as thoroughly as I know how to using Google and links in posts that I have found on forums. Using these searches I have found numerous PIT files but none of them have worked so far. As I said I am not advanced but I am learning and know a lot more just from the above posts.
I will look on the forum here and see if there is a PIT file that works for a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i.
Many thanks for your help and I am sorry if my lack of knowledge riled you.

Hi fffft,
Thank you for the links. Most of them I have already seen after searching myself and they mostly return dead links to the PIT file or simply have a link for Odin that has a PIT file in the download which returns as a corrupted file when Odin runs it.
If you followed those links yourself you would have discovered this but it was easier to simply paste a few Google searches in and assume that they would be working. Here let me Google this for you doesn't always make you look clever.

You couldn't find the correct forum or a working link to the file you needed. I provided both for you and all you can do is complain that you look foolish.
Good luck with your problems

Can't connect to network?

I bought this phone via craigslist, and it works minus getting connected to my network (tmobile)
i tried rooting it, but when i go into recovery, it says that there is no sdcard/update.zip directory..my sd card is "unavailable" when i check it in the settings.
i factory reseted my phone, and still nothing with the service. any help?
Try going to settings , wireless and network , mobile networks , network operators and click search now . It might take a few searches but it will eventually register to the network .
I tried that as well, it gives me some error with my sim card.
but my sim card works in every other phone, just not this one
I've lost all hope in society. Man, people knowingly sell things with problems. What makes someone think it is morally okay to rip off another person. Why be a morally corrupt individual?
I hope your phone is fixable, seems like the person sold it to you knowing there was a problem.
Try using odin to go back to stock JFD, see if that helps. Just make sure you can get into download mode with the 3 buttons with no problems
I'll try that, any other ideas..?Thanks btw
I noticed that odin is only for windows, while I'm on a mac..
how do i go about doing this on a mac then? i was thinking restoring a stock rom might help..
You can use Heimdall as an alternative to Odin. It runs on Macs and linux boxes.
Here is the thread that contains the DL Link and info about the program. I have personally never used it, but have read that it's fairly simple. I also recall a member from xda making a video tutorial that he posted on youtube.
EDIT: Here is the original thread from the I9000 forum.
If you have any questions it would probably be better to post there.
I believe the developer checks that thread far more frequently than the one here in the Vibrant forum.
Thank you so much, I'll try to fiddle with this.
I can't seem to locate a stock rom anywhere, the mirrors that I found on this website (the bible thread) the links were dead
Well hell that sucks.
I've got it. I'm zipping it up right now and I'll start uploading ASAP.
I'll post back when it's ready for you.
Awesome,thanks!
Here you go, man. Samsung T959UVJFD True Stock Firmware
After you download the archive. Unzip it and there will be a two files inside, 'T959UVJFD.tar' and 's1_odin_20100512.pit'.
I tried this, but I still get the error that my sim card does not allow connections to this network
any idea what could be wrong..? i sure hope i didn't lose $280 dollars...
Perhaps the phone was locked to a different carrier? I remember when I first got my Vibrant and was reading about rooting, I also saw information that switching networks between AT&T and T-mo was *extremely* easy. I thought I remembered seeing information at one point regarding the codes for each carrier (so you could lock back to t-mobile), but I can't find it now.
Here's the post on unlocking your phone though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
thanks so much! this might be my problem!
i downloaded the SGS_Unlock.apk, but when i opened it,it said there was no codes and asked me if i was sure that i was using a samsung galaxy s?
Edit:i'm using a mac, and i'm trying to use the mac software for the unlocking, but when i run the software it tells me this
strings: can't open file: ./nv_data.bin (No such file or directory)
strings: can't open file: ./nv_data.bin (No such file or directory)
Your code is:
I get a blank.?
Is there anyway you can contact the person you bought the phone from and ask them what network they were using the phone on? Or even ask them what exactly they have done to the phone?
They haven't been answering...****ing assholes
Are you rooted? I think that you need su permission to see the path that nv_data.bin is in.
Also, if you go to Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, what do you see there?
i am not rooted, i will root my phone tonight
Are you still having the "SD card unavailable" issue after flashing back to stock firmware?
When you are ready to root use this.

E footer is wrong, e signature verification failed when installing OTA update?

Hi folks!
Just bought myself an S5, have successfully rooted the phone, and decide to install the Alliance Rom with no issues.
I then downloaded the Black Glass OTA Theme, went into recovery mode and tried to unzip the file (Using Philz touch) - I received the following two error messages: "e footer is wrong, e signature verification failed"
I'm on android v4.4.2 - I backed up prior to this so I've just restored back to factory settings for the meantime, but I'd like to know why I'm getting those two errors if possible?
Many thanks!

Could be many reasons, you don't have enough information yet to know. Crucially, you failed to paste the verbatim error and the context surrounding it here. Or even link to the theme you refer to. So we don't have much to go on.
As it is labeled as an OTA theme, it will be specifically formatted for that custom ROM. So wouldn't it make more sense to seek help in the custom ROM support thread?
The actual error could be anything from a corrupt download (did you verify the md5 checksum or try downloading the theme again?) to a marginal USB cable (did you try a different USB cable and port?). Or many other things. Did you search the support thread to see if anyone else was troubleshooting similar issues?
.
Sorry, I'm completely new to the forum so don't know my way about.
How would I go about obtaining/providing the verbatim error?

You can copy and what you see on screen from the log that Odin or Kies makes. Or alternately make a screenshot.
Most questions could be expediently answered by a search of the forum too. But for some reason, most people don't try that.

I appreciate that, I did try looking via the forum before asking but didn't find any mention of 'verbatim'...
I also searched for the errors I am experiencing and whilst I found several other threads, none are a similar scenario to mine.
I am not using Odin or Kies, I was able to root my phone successfully, and installed the Alliance Rom with no issues.
My issue occurs after downloading an the OTA update/theme and then going into recovery mode > Install Zip > Choose zip from /sdcard > OtaDownloads/ > Install Black_Glass_S5
I ticked to check the MD5 sum, it came back with with 'MD5 check: error'
Signature verification causes the 'E: footer is wrong and E: signature verification failed' errors.

Your search technique needs polishing. If some particular keyword doesn't work in a search, then use a synonym or reword your search query.

And there is crucial information that you didn't provide earlier. The very reason why I wanted the verbatim context. We are't psychic and can't help you effectively if you don't provide a detailed account.
Adding those details is a huge improvement. You selected a feature (check md5) without understanding how it worked. That caused an error. You then asked us what the error meant without telling us that you had done that and not providing any context or details for us to work with.
The error message, in context, tells us that you either tried to check md5 on a file that doesn't have a md5 - therefore a spurious error. Or the file was profoundly corrupt.
.
It's not my intention to be vague, I simply do not know what information is relevant/beneficial to you.
I deleted the file and then re-downloaded a new copy but it still won't unzip the file, the issue also occurs for another OTA file.
If there's specific info I can provide then by all means let me know and I'll provide it.
Appreciate the help and patience - evidently I'm still a noob when it comes to all the features/tools.

If you were already an expert, you could pare down the details in your post to the minimum amount needed. But when seeking help in an area that is new to you, you should provide the maximum amount of information. If in doubt post more, rather than exclude something when troubleshooting.
Nothing impairs someone from providing effective help as much as missing crucial details. The only things you should withhold are personally identifying info e.g. serial numbers.
Someone knowledgeable trying to help you can easily sift through too much info. Not the reverse.

Do you mount your SD card into a USB card reader and then use in a USB port on your desktop or laptop?
because if you accidentally made the "E" port into "read only" on one file, or anything on the drive it could have locked the entire drive down, which to me is exactly
what it sounds like,
put the card back into your desktop, right click as if you were ejecting drive. select properties> preferences> share file settings and set to "Everyone"
yes i know its old, but its not a bad thing to bring up to answer for other newbies right on front page.
thanks this helped me a lot

Stock ROM for Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9506

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone could provide a known working link to a stock ROM for the GT-I9506 (preferably Australian, although I'm not sure if that matters on an unlocked phone).
I've tried the well-known sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com links that can be found all over Google and these forums, many times each. The sammobile.com ones always drop in and out regularly throughout the download when using a segmented download accelerator (iGetter on OS X to be precise). This doesn't seem to be a problem at first, since 20+ retries will eventually get me to 100%, but the resulting file always unzips to a *.cpgz file that unzips to another *.zip (a well-known corrupted zip file issue).
Trying to download the same files through Chrome will always eventually time-out (I've never gotten past 20% this way; usually much-less).
The samsung-updates.com files are even worse, being hosted by two separate mirrors that are equally useless unless you pay for a "premium account".
I realise I'm a bit late to the party, since the S7 is now on shelves in Australia, and that's probably why the popular download links on Google are now dead or very unreliable. But if anyone could please provide me with the latest available stock ROM for this phone I'd be forever grateful!

Have you tried the SamFirm tool?

Hi there, thanks for responding! I'd never heard of SamFirm until you mentioned it, but after reading about it on here it seems like exactly what I need! Will give it a whirl when I get home from work this evening (it's currently 8:10 am here and I'm running late LOL). Thanks again!
Just wanted to update this thread in case anyone might fight it useful in the future.
It turns out that the sammobile.com links are still valid as of this post's date. The problem I was having was simply due to Mac OS X not recognising the specific zip format that the files have been compressed under. I'm still unsure exactly which format that is, but nonetheless the solution is to either use The Unarchiver to unzip the file on a Mac, or better yet, use a Windows machine since Odin requires that anyway!
My sincerest apologies go out to the sammobile.com admins who have actually done a wonderful job of stocking all the possible ROMs for practically every Samsung device ever made. It was just my sheer n00biness, and the fact that I was using WiFi, that led to me having connection issues and unzipping problems (solid download over Ethernet; completed in ~2 - 3 hours through Chrome, no DM).
As for GDReaper's suggestion to use SamFirm, I had problems running it on a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM on Mac OS X El Capitan, so gave up and tried the sammobile.com links from a friend's PC. As stated above, everything went smoothly with those links once OS X and WiFi were taken out of the equation. Of course YMMV since my area seems to be particularly overcrowded with WiFi devices and I've had troubles with it since I can remember.
So to sum up, SamFirm may or may not work well from a proper Windows PC, but the sammobile.com download links for the GT-I9506 definitely work as well as your connection will allow (at least the Australian Telstra and Vodafone ones; haven't tried any others).
Many thanks again to GDReaper, and also to everyone else who puts so much effort into helping Android n00bs like me

Unbricking and QPST - All Snapdragon / Qualcomm devices

Hello All,
First let me say thanks to all XDA Developers, and without this forum I would still be a pleb when it comes to unbricking. :highfive:
The link to QPST: androidbrick.com/download/latest-qpst-2-7-build-422-425-430-437-qfil-qualcomm-flasher/
(Sorry, I haven't passed 10 posts yet, so you have to manually enter into the address bar)
I came to this forum seeking answers to unbrick my hardbricked Note 4, and after many hours of heartbreak and headache, I have come across a tool called QPST.
This tool is used by Qualcomm, and if you read carefully through the accompanying documentation, you will find some interesting stamps - such as "Confidential" etc.
While I am no expert in the use of QPST, from my own incomplete research I am convinced this tool can be used on any device which sports a Qualcomm chipset (Snapdragon etc.) to unbrick it from certain death.
I have not yet succeeded with my attempts at unbricking, but it is now only a matter of time and kind people pointing me in the right directions. :fingers-crossed:
I am looking for the right files to go in the "phone image" and "boot image" lines in the QPST Software Download program.
I hope we can all see the opportunity this tool represents and spread the word among the greater community, not just developers.
Edit:
Using Software Download:
Phone image files will have a .hex extension and I do not believe they can be found on sammobile. I still haven't found the right one.
Boot image files: I still don't know what they will look like. Likely a .hex file.
Using QFIL:
I suspect all these files can be acquired from a service ROM (whatever a service ROM is - I don't think it is a ROM for android as I know them). I am not completely sure of this however.
Using the flat build option will let you select the programmer. It will have a file name like:
prog_emmc_firehoseXXXX.mbn
(Replace XXXX with the correct numbers for your snapdragon. I don't know what the right ones for the Snapdragon 805 are, but I strongly suspect 8084, with a remote possibility of 8064. Edit: I don't know, don't take my word.
There are posts for other phones on XDA, I don't know if they use the 805 chipset or if the files are compatible.) <--- If anyone wants to research, feel free. Team efforts make a big job seem easy! Please post your results!
Accompanying your firehose file will be a bunch of other files in the same folder.
You will need two .xml files to go with the above (usually in the same folder), which will look like as follows:
rawprogram0XXXX.xml (here XXXX denotes some numbering system which will be determined by the internal memory of the device eg 16GB, 32GB, 64GB. I saw an example for a OnePlus One which had rawprogram0_64G.xml.
I'm NOT 100% SURE on this numbering system, as elsewhere on XDA I have come across different file names!
Here's the truncated link: androidbrick.com/ultimate-qualcomm-snapdragon-unbrick-guide-snapdragons-are-unbrickable-qhsusb_dload_qpst_qfil/)
patch0.xml
When I find the above, I will post or hassle an admin to post, as these will likely unbrick any Snapdragon 805. Happy hunting!
Here's a truncated link to XproZayd's thread, where a different avenue is explored (and where I got my idea about the 8084 number for firehose -- Remember, I could be wrong!)
forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/unbrick-samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910w8-t3249970
This thread is for discussing QPST and how to use it - if you have a hard bricked phone I am not able to help at this stage. However, should anybody find / 'acquire' the right files to use with QPST, we will all benefit.
What made your device hard brick
Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
Mistake 1: I bought the phone with the known problem of a USB port not working.
Mistake 2: I bought a replacement USB board and replaced it myself, after which the fun and games began. The one time the screen did light up I got an error message about mmc read fail and could not boot.
Mistake 3: Like a fool, I pulled the battery. Now I have a hard bricked / useless Note 4.
Unless the mmc is physically damaged (which I refuse to believe) the phone should be salvageable from its hard brick state. Provided I can find the right files to go with QPST.
Edit:
I have tried contacting Qualcomm to get the files, who have pointed out that they are proprietary to the licensee, ie Samsung. Here's the e-mail below.

What were you exactly flashing ?
Is it detected in pc as qhsb loader ?
Is the splash screen GALAXY NOTE 4 showing up ?

Update:
So far I have contacted Qualcomm, Intrinsyc (they sell Snapdragon development boards), and a Samsung retail outlet.
All have come back as a negative - the closest I could get was the Samsung retail outlet where a dude used to work in the repair centre and had access to the files then.
Unfortunately, Samsung revoked his permissions now that he only works in a retail outlet.
He knew what I was talking about, but due to Samsung and their encryption etc, he couldn't provide me with the files.

Hello All,
First let me say thanks to all XDA Developers, and without this forum I would still be a pleb when it comes to unbricking. :highfive:
The link to QPST: androidbrick.com/download/latest-qpst-2-7-build-422-425-430-437-qfil-qualcomm-flasher/
(Sorry, I haven't passed 10 posts yet, so you have to manually enter into the address bar)
I came to this forum seeking answers to unbrick my hardbricked Note 4, and after many hours of heartbreak and headache, I have come across a tool called QPST.
This tool is used by Qualcomm, and if you read carefully through the accompanying documentation, you will find some interesting stamps - such as "Confidential" etc.
While I am no expert in the use of QPST, from my own incomplete research I am convinced this tool can be used on any device which sports a Qualcomm chipset (Snapdragon etc.) to unbrick it from certain death.
I have not yet succeeded with my attempts at unbricking, but it is now only a matter of time and kind people pointing me in the right directions. :fingers-crossed:
I am looking for the right files to go in the "phone image" and "boot image" lines in the QPST Software Download program.
I hope we can all see the opportunity this tool represents and spread the word among the greater community, not just developers.
Edit:
Using Software Download:
Phone image files will have a .hex extension and I do not believe they can be found on sammobile. I still haven't found the right one.
Boot image files: I still don't know what they will look like. Likely a .hex file.
Using QFIL:
I suspect all these files can be acquired from a service ROM (whatever a service ROM is - I don't think it is a ROM for android as I know them). I am not completely sure of this however.
Using the flat build option will let you select the programmer. It will have a file name like:
prog_emmc_firehoseXXXX.mbn
(Replace XXXX with the correct numbers for your snapdragon. I don't know what the right ones for the Snapdragon 805 are, but I strongly suspect 8084, with a remote possibility of 8064. Edit: I don't know, don't take my word.
There are posts for other phones on XDA, I don't know if they use the 805 chipset or if the files are compatible.) <--- If anyone wants to research, feel free. Team efforts make a big job seem easy! Please post your results!
Accompanying your firehose file will be a bunch of other files in the same folder.
You will need two .xml files to go with the above (usually in the same folder), which will look like as follows:
rawprogram0XXXX.xml (here XXXX denotes some numbering system which will be determined by the internal memory of the device eg 16GB, 32GB, 64GB. I saw an example for a OnePlus One which had rawprogram0_64G.xml.
I'm NOT 100% SURE on this numbering system, as elsewhere on XDA I have come across different file names!
Here's the truncated link: androidbrick.com/ultimate-qualcomm-snapdragon-unbrick-guide-snapdragons-are-unbrickable-qhsusb_dload_qpst_qfil/)
patch0.xml
When I find the above, I will post or hassle an admin to post, as these will likely unbrick any Snapdragon 805. Happy hunting!
Here's a truncated link to XproZayd's thread, where a different avenue is explored (and where I got my idea about the 8084 number for firehose -- Remember, I could be wrong!)
forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/unbrick-samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910w8-t3249970
This thread is for discussing QPST and how to use it - if you have a hard bricked phone I am not able to help at this stage. However, should anybody find / 'acquire' the right files to use with QPST, we will all benefit.

Im in the same boat with my NOTE 4 N910F. Totally blacked out but still picking it up on the PC with QFIL files have found some files but there not the right phone I think.
so fails to load with SAHARA.
cannot find firehose for 910F. Wish someone could solve this one and then publish it all. someone will eventually but QFIL will unbrick all Qualcomm provided you can make the files.
Let me know if you or anyone does. cheers

Tried this?
Reporting Via N910G.
Hi, got a Phicomm Energy M+ (E551). It turned off as the battery was empty, so I charged it overnight.
But:
-Switching it on only shows the phicomm logo
-Trying to enter recovery, shows phicomm logo for a second and then the screen stays lit. Nothing else happens.
-On Windows 7 device manager shows it as "RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (Com3)" (VOL Up+VOL Down + Power)
-fastboot/adb wont find it
-I tried this http://www.droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/
I dont have a emmc backup but an unzipped Stock ROM of the E551L which support told me to use. (put on SD card and reboot into recovery, but I cant get into recovery)
Hence I use the unzipped ROM with the Qualcomm FLasher :S (http://na.phicomm.info/release/E551L...TA package.zip)
-It starts the process but then says "Failed to enter EDL" (Emergency) mode
Another thing I stumbled across is :
E551L has Qualcomm MSM8916 and Android 4.4.2
E551M has Qualcomm MSM8915 and Android 4.4.4
Will I have to quire a deepflash cable or am I missing something here ?

[SEARCH] working COMBINATION_FA70_G950FXXU5ASF1/FIX file. will it work on U5DSFB_DBT?

Hi,
got a friends SM-G950F. Its on G950FXXU5DSFB_DBT.
Tried to flash COMBINATION_FA70_G950FXXU5ASF1 via Odin. On the phone i get: only officaily released binaries are allowed
Saw here and here that it seems there is a COMBINATION_FA70_G950FXXU5ASF1_FIX file available, just dont be able to download it cause i only find dl on liveon and seems impossible to activate the free account to download the file.
so my 2 question:
1. will this file (G950FXXU5ASF1/_fix) generally work on G950FXXU5DSFB_DBT? as im a OnePlus guy i dont exactly know all parameters in the samsung naming convention. seems first comes model, then BL version. Thought rest would be language stuff wich wouldnt be important (for me) for combination use.
2. someone got this file or one combination file which should work on the version i got here?
thx for any help!
noe one can help or at least point me in the right direction?!
