how to flash ddjp6 official indian froyo via odin?

i am asking this question bcoz i have flashed the official froyo for asia dxjpa
and the flashing way via odin was different cozz pit file 513 is used for flashing it.
so i wanted to know the right flashing way for ddjp6 froyo .. via odin
i downloaded the firmware ddjp6.. and it contains only one .tar file
so i just wanted to know the perfect flashing method
please dont advise me to do it through kies...
thanx

You can flash DDJP6 via odin the same way you flashed DXJPA without using any .pit file and it will work. As I have also flashed the other asian versions without using any .pit file (no .pit file recommended for firmwares with only one file on sam firmwares).

So How does the pit file affect anything ? I flashed DDJP6 with the .803 pit file. I take it that shouldn't be an issue ? Also, is the boot Galaxy "S" animation from the pit file ? I don't like the one I got from the asian froyo with the disjoint s... Does the Indian froyo have that too, or the one from eclair ?

Not sure about what exactly .pit file does but had a problem installing DXJPA earlier with .803pit (failed to flash) then tried with .513 and worked well.
haven't noticed the boot animation.

Did u move from 2.1 or unofficial 2.2?

i have a question..
if there is one tar file, should i put the file in just pda or PDA,PHONE AND CSc and then flash?

PDA for single tar file

Check my signature if you want PDA MODEM & CSC seperately for DDJP6.
You can also try to use XXJPY PDA, JP6 MOEDEM & CSC.

I clarification after flashing with Odin will all the setting & data reset to factory.
Or will all the personal data, Games, applications will remain.
One more thing if the Re-Partation in Unchecked (Not selected). Will the Odin keep my data as it is on the phone or it will reset to factory settings.

thanks..
so if i Root in the current jp6 im running, and it was updated by KIES, can i flash without removing the root by using ODIN?
And also i need to know possible best options to flash official firmwares.

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.

Where can i get that 16gb pit file?
Firmware i have downloaded now ic absolutlely the correct one for my country/model (i9505)....

No one has the i9505 pit file (or someone can make it with heimdall ? )

i think u need pit file to do repartitioning

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] s5360 S5360DDMD1_S5360ODDMD1_INU.zip

Hi brother ..I just download firmware ..S5360DDMD1_S5360ODDMD1_INU.zip .. http :// samsung-updates. com/ device/?id=GT-S5360 (India)
But inside the file not include pit file boot loader csc etc ...
I just just fund 2 file 1 is S5360DDMD1_S5360ODDMD1_S5360DDMD1_HOME.tar.md5
2nd file SS_DL.dll
so my question how I update firmware through odin ...
caused don't have .. pit file boot loader csc etc ..
Need ur help/
ty .

never flash the boot loader or pit file through odin unless it is actually needed (most the time it isnt) - if you do it wrong your phone will be dead
all you need is phone modem and csc
firmware from sammobile must be split into phone modem and csc in order to flash it via odin as galaxy y doesnt support single file flashing
you have two choice
1 - goto my firmware thread as iv already done ddmd1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568853
2- split firmware yourself using my guide

n910f flashing problem

hey there to root your Note 4 smn910f you first go to settings/security and then you will see a V behind reactivation deactivate this
after that's done connect to odin and flash cf root
you will see that it will not fail

i dont want to root yet i just want to change official rom and i can't flash via odin

it says when odin write hidden.img.ext4 volume size is too big 81920<184320

Can I ask which firmware you are trying to flash? Is it for the 910f if it's for a different variant that will probably be why

I have the German and I want to flash the Greek I downloaded them from sam mobile for the n910f

just came across the same issue something is messed with hidden partition image size, the default partition size is smaller whereas the the img file on the odin file is much bigger

Got the same problem today, cant flash any rom other than the latest UK (BTU) When trying to flash any other rom I get this message. Any idea how to fix it?

Some serious problem with Odin flashing the n910f. I have just gone through a night of torment, having tried flashing the newest firmware and getting a failure due to the hidden partition problem mentioned above.
Originally, my firmware was on n910fxxu1anj4. I flashed n910fxxu1ank6, the flash failed on flashing the hidden partition with:
Volume Size is too big 81920 < 204800
ODIN: Invalid ext4 image
and the phone was stuck in a bootloop on the first screen with the text “Note 4”.
Then even with wipe, restore of backup etc the phone wouldn't boot.
Flashed n910fxxu1ank5, same failure, didn't record the numbers, couldn't get it to boot in no way...
Flashed the original n910fxxu1anj4, flash failed also on the hidden partition with:
Volume Size is too big 81920 < 471040
Stuck in bootloop, but upon reflash of CWM recovery and cache and data clean, the phone booted, and I was able to restore a backup which works fine now...
However there must be some serious problem.
Anyone have an idea what this is?

I think we need a correct PIT file for each firmware maybe ?

From what I have gathered on some of the models is that the only firmware that you can flash to your phone are the ones made for the CSC of your phone. Navigate to system/csc then look at the different CSC files in that folder. Those are the only ones I can flash on my H model anyways.

I had Swedish firmware with CSC NEE and could flash a firmware with CSC BTU. But I cant flash back the NEE firmware again. And looking at the hidden.img.ext4 and cache.img.ext4 in the only firmware I can flash it has the smallest. All the other firmwares have bigger hidden and cache files. So I think the phone needs to flashed with re-partition checked in Odin and that is not possible without the correct PIT file. I am relly tired of this phone, Samsung has made it too complicated to flash firmwares

Have you tried using Kies to do a firmware upgrade and initialization? When you plug your phone in Kies may warn you that it doesn't support your phone but you can still do it. You may be better off just leaving it alone though.

What was your original software? Could root have messed this up? Before rooting I flashed the BTU and DBT and NEE firmwares without problem. But then staying at BTU for some weeks and then rooted. And after that I can flash no other firmware. Trying to restore the phone to the NEE firmware as I am going to sell the phone.

Any more input on this? I did the same as Ogy77 and sure the phone boots but I got some strange crashes and did a factory reset and flashed back the stock recovery. So it boots but the CSC is gone as the cache.img.ext not is flashed so no OTAs will work as Kies does not regonize the phone with a firmware witout CSC?

I have the same problem, Im using xnote as i cant flash my vodafone UK stock rom
I was stuck in a bootloop but flashed twrp and installed xnote again as it was stored on my sd card luckily! I would like to know how to flash back to stock

I have same problem. I have a open 910F and get the same error on odin file size is too big. What can i do?

Pit files are really "last resort" situation. What error are you getting?
What version of odin are you using?
What model of the note4 do you have?
What happened in the first place that got you here?
Have you tried to search for a fix?
What have you tried?
More info is needed mate.

Im also on the hunt for a PIT file. I had to use one on my 9505 a few times after a brutal softbrick/almost hardbrick to recover it.

Well I was trying to flash twrp trough the twrp app. But it failed. And when I wanted to reboot in recovery.. All my phone could do was boot in download mode. So I looked for the latest lollipop firmware from Samfirmware and got an error in odin. Something about the size is too big. 85098<125876 and odin said something about exfat hidden (I'm not really sure anymore). I got my phone back to work by flashing a random pit file I found on my pc. Definitely not a note 4 pit and it failed but for some reason it rebooted back to my 4.4.4 rom as it was before I bricked it. Strange. Cause odin was almost at the end of its flash so I assume some things were flashed...
Odin version 1.83 I guess but I tried it also with 3.04 and same error
I have nite 4 sm-N910F
Searched for a pit file but as I said it was fixed by a failed flash of 4.4.4 original firmware trough odin with a totally different pit file. For some reason it booted up again. So now my phone is back... If I put it manually in download mode... Will I have the same error? Cause yeah it's not bricked... See?

What that app did was wipe you're recovery... All you would of had to do was flash a twrp/cmw/PHILZ recovery.
