[Q] Need PIT file SM-T535

A colleague of mine tried to flash his T535 with a stock rom from sammobile but bricked it in the process.
While doing this he got this message from odin:
<ID:0/008> hidden.img.ext4
<ID:0/008> FAIL!(Size)
Searching forums like this got me to the conclusion that I need to flash it again with the PDA and the PIT file, but I could be wrong.
I cannot find the PIT file anywhere, does someone know where to find them?
Would this solve the problem or do you guys have any other tips?
Thanks in advance!

I also need PIT file for SM-T535 tablet.
Mine comes from FTM (Orange) and I can't install other stock rom, like XEF.

Hi . You can to take Pit-file from service firmware or use service firmware whole for flash via Odin .

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.

1. Different country (CSC different) affects only to 4G and OTA updates.
2. CSC ("Country Specific Code") is basically the configuration data APN, MMS, etc ... in each country.
3. Flashing new firmware erase root access.

It worked man without root
And all my data still the same after flash without wipe xD
And no problems with wifi networks

I want my Lollipop

[Q] Note 4 SM-N910F 5.01 firmware upgrade fail Ext4 to small

Hello,
I have a note 4 SM-N910F and I'm from Belgium.
I have upgraded succesfully my note to 5.01 with a Netherlands firmware N910FXXU1BOC3_N910FTPD1BOC1_TPD. However in this firmware the APN for ZiGGO was hardcoded and I couldn't remove it.
In the mean time a new 5.01 for Belgium has become available N910FXXU1BOC5_N910FPRO1BOC1_PRO. But when I try to flash my note with Odin 3.09 I always end up with an error being hidden.img to big and an EXT4 size fail error. Then I need to flash back to the previous firmware to make it work again.
I redownloaded the firmware to make sure (MD5 was correct) and tried to erase the Note before flashing but with the same flashing error.
Any suggestions ?
Thank you

Make sure you are using the latest ODIN version, which is 3.10.6 and run ODIN as administrator.

I'm using latest Odin in administrator mode but with same result (hidden file failed size too big ext4 error). I see in the forum lot's of people face the same problem and they solve it by integrating it with a new PIT file in Odin. However I can't find the correct PIT file for this one..
Cheers

@toxictoy
Did you find how solve your problem?
Because I have the same problem like you. The only different that my note4 have region code BTU.

I was able to find online a PIT file for the note 4. I used this to flash the new rom and this worked perfectly.

Could you give me a link to this PIT file ?

G950F - cannot flash System via ODIN

Hello,
I am unsuccessfully fighting with sotfbricked Galaxy S8 model G950F.
I've managed to flash via ODIN latest BL, CP and CSC, which makes stock recovery available.
So to sum up - only stock recovery and Download Mode works.
When flashing AP - no matter if correct file for latest firmware according to my CSC, or to other CSC files - Odin flashes almost 70%, then suddenly stops:
<ID:0/005> system.img
<ID:0/005> userdata.img
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
On the phone it says then in Download mode "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(SYSTEM)" in red.
Has anyone successfully solved similar situation? Any ideas worth trying?

download the right firmware. check your latest firmware of phone model at sammobile.

Already did that. Downloaded almost 9 different firmware for either my carrier CSC or country CSC, but the error persists.

what binary your phone required?

What do you mean?
I've tried to flash G950FXXS7DTB5, G950FXXS7DTA6, G950FXXS7DTA1 for OPV and XEO regions.

it will work if you flash the right set of firmware.

It seems like right set of firmware doesn't work

G950FXXS7D numer 7 you must look in other firmwares

Every single binary 7 firmware is failing due to "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(SYSTEM)" in red in Download Mode after trying to flash.

Only official binary error is probably due to flashing firmware not signed by Samsung. This can happen when bootloader is locked and/or rmm/kg state is prenornal ( flashing non Samsung firmware )
While flashing the correct Samsung firmware will normally get you out of trouble with the error message.
What odin version are you using?
Can you post a screen shot of download mode.

I've tried ODIN 3.13.1 , 3.14.4, 3.14.1 (patched), 3.12.7 in various firmware configurations.
Below screenshot of data from download mode (with KG State - Prenormal), and screenshot of the error after trying to flash AP.

I don't really get your point. Do you want to install the official firmware or a custom one? One easy solution would be to flash twrp and search the forum for a ROM you want to flash (there is even stock debloated ones that are better than total stock in my opinion). Can you please provide more details on what you are trying to achieve and what's the problem?

Anything above Odin version 3.13.1 should do, as they support .lz4 compression ratio.
You screen shots from previous post looks ok to be flashing stock firmware. With KG state being prenormal you will have issues flashing non Samsung signed firmware ie: twrp, root etc.
Since the Knox has been tripped do you know what has been done to the phone before. May provide some info on what is happening.
As a matter of interest have you tried Samsung Smart Switch to try and fix the issue. It does have a recovery option in there. Do you have latest Samsung drivers installed on PC.
Note: Running Smart Switch and Odin can cause issues with each other.
