I don't think it's possible to downgrade back from 5.0 to 4.3
The 5.0 has an updated bootloader which means you can't downgrade.

Sorry friend but probably you have bricked your phone . You have to flash sectional stock rom whic has 'pit' extension as far as i know. But just in case Google it and do some research about brick. I wish yo can handle this as soon as possible. Good luck :good:

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.
I have read read read cant find a specific solution ..Ok im on KOT49H I337ucufmld. I was on 4.3 before I have flashed with odin many times at first I got a fail at the start aboot.mbn nand fail ..so I removed that file and it started to install but failed at the end... my knox is set to 01 . my boot loader of course was locked down when I tried to flash another recovery.. so I read and people suggested pit files along with tar so I did that. no firmware Samsung official or otherwise will try to install at all with the aboot.mbn intact within the tar . ive flashed and flashed ..everything... so then I got a 32 gb pit file and did a nand erase in odin...and I noticed that by doing that I have my stock recovery back . I then re flashed the proper 16gb pit file and it remained working..so now I have download mode and stock recovery both working but have NO SYSTEM at all installed and cant seem to install one....I need good solid advise..is it a paper weight or is ther a way to zip or tar back either by odin or stock recovery.. help please.

Are you sure you're on the mdl bootloader? What do you mean when you say you're on 4.3? That's not consistent with mdl bootloader. My guess is you're not on the mdl bootloader and that flashing the mdl tar in Odin won't work for you. In a terminal emulator on your phone type
su
getprop ro.bootloader
They'll tell you what bootloader you're on.
If you're not on the mdl bootloader flash the nb1 tar in Odin.

correct information
I was on 4.3 before I updated I have flashed several tar files ..I don't have any system working on phone I can't do what you have recommended. But
The Information I gave came from the top of the the screen in recovery mode.
What version are you trying to flash through Odin?
Hey, I'm on the Lollipop Samsung rom and the N9005 is on lollipop bootloader. The lollipop wasn't as smooth as kitkat but I decided to flash stock kitkat from samfirmware via odin. It failed and didn't work. I flashed a pit file (not realisising it was for 4.3) and the phone boots but I can't find any pit file for lollipop. Can someone help please thanks!!!
If you successfully help me I will buy you a coffee !
Don't worry guys, solved my issue. Found .pit file in a separate stock rom downloaded from a file sharing site. Will get back on update to see if it fixed!
Baseband is unkown and I'm getting no signal. I'm scared I corrupted the efs... can someone please confirm.
Flash modem who works before to get back your imei

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.

No you really need to read the Forum Rules...moved out of the Development sections.............
I have 2 Galaxy Grand Prime Duos. One is working which has the model SM-G530/DS, the second one isn't working which has the model of SM-G530H/DV.
The SM-G530H/DV model is bricked, I think, because it only shows the 1st Samsung intro and doesn't then it's just stuck there until it turns off on its own and its battery is also dead.
I've tried to reinstall a stock firmware of the latest firmware 5.0.2 using ODIN 3.10 but it always fail mostly saying "There is no PIT partition.".
I've tried to download .pit files for G530H but it doesn't work either.
I tried to extract a .pit file from my working SM-G530H/DS but I can't seem to find the .pit file even though it says extraction successful.
Can someone give me the .pit file for SM-G530/DV model???
Here's what it says on the Download Mode:
MMC: mmc_write fail
SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT
ODIN : flash read failure
