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.
Hi All,
Probably a topic which has been covered and answered but I couldn't find an answer for. I have an S4 i9507 and was careless and flashed the device triggering the Knox Warranty Void. I'm not too fussed about the warranty on the device but what would like to do is flash the modem via Odin. I'm not having much luck doing so and returns a FAIL (Auth) error when I try to flash. My question is: Are you still able to flash the modem with Knox Warranty void Flag set to 0*1? Or am I stuck on the baseband I have forever?
Thanks in advance.
I have a old Samsung Charge that I have been using. I have used odin and custom roms and the phone is currently rooted....so I have some experience with doing so. I am planning on upgrading to a new Galaxy S5 and will need to root and tether when I get it. I use my phone for internet connections, so I need to get all the files necessary before I begin working on the new phone.
I have downloaded both the NCG and the NE9 Kernels, Odin 3.09 (which I found 3 versions of, and settled on the internal marked Samsung). I downloaded the Multitool v4.44 but I don't think that is necessary. I also have SuperSU Pro and SuperSU, and Towelroot. So I think I have everything I need....I also have wifi tether...which I will need to get back on line if necessary...
I was looking around for a PIT file, not sure if I need it...but if things go wrong, I would like to have it to set the phone back to stock.
Is there a pit file available...and do i need it...
Thanks

All you need to get rooted is towelroot. I initially rooted and installed safestrap and put Alliance ROM on to a rom slot before I found out safestrap rom slots are borked and you have to install custom roms on the stock slot. I odined back to stock NCG and did not use the pit file and all came out good. After I re-rooted, I just use Xposed framework and modules.
You can find the pit file and everything else you need to go back to stock here ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53447942&postcount=1
Thanks for the link.....
I noticed the stock kernels are around 2GB each.
When I was collecting files for my root, I had come across a posting by Cat McGowan titled something like "How to get root back after the NE9 OTA update
within that posting, there were 2 kernels that were needed to be downloaded.....which I did..
1) G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 at 11,431 kb
2) G990V_NE9_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 at 11,471 kb
When I used your links, the Stock kernels are about 2 gb each. Big difference.
What if anything are the 2 smaller kernels used for as opposed to the larger 2gb kernels.

The links in the post I pointed you to are the full factory stock system tar files. The entire phone package of which just the kernel is a small part. If you want to root NE9 you have one of two options. If you are running NCG, you can just go ahead and take the NE9 OTA update. HOWEVER !!!! You will lose root with NE9 and Towelroot will not work to root it. You need to flash the NCG kernel into NE9, apply towel root, then flash back to the NE9 kernel and voila ... you will have yourself a shiny new rooted NE9 S5
Option two would be to install NE9 via Odin with the factory tar file. Either way, you have to flash the NCG kernel to obtain root and then flash the newer kernel...
Thanks for clearing that up....

I originally rooted/supersu/busybox/safestrap/alliance and found I screwed up using rom slot. I odined back to stock ngc with tar file, re-rooed, supersu/exposed framework and modules is what I currently run. I just shut down the phone and first booted into stock recovery then shut it down and booted into download mode. No where on the screens did I see any indication knox was tripped. I believe a message gets displayed that knox warranty void if it is tripped. So, no, I am going to say it is knox safe.

The only way to know if your knox has been tripped is to go into download mode. There is a notification on there for
Knox=0x0 - not tripped
knox=0x1 - knox tripped

Knox not even listed on the screen, maybe disabled in Xposed framework
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900V
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, PI
UDC START
But I did read in other threads in researching prior to all I did that knox does not get tripped. I researched both before initial root and prior to odin back to stock.

I dunno about that ... supersu disables knox and I think that's why it says it is off. (I could odin back to stock to see if it says on but I ain't screwing with a good thing). I downloaded samsung phone info app from play store and knox status is 0x0 ... that is knox not tripped.
Furthermore; that knox status of 0x0 is not just after rooting the phone. When I first got it, I rooted, installed safestrap, supersu, busybox and installed alliance rom on rom slot. Then found out about the bugs in safestrap and I odined back to stock. I then rooted, supersu and Xposed framework with modules. The knox status is STILL 0x0 ... so I feel pretty confident in saying people are safe to flash away if they do it properly.

Very true.
Hey guys,
I'm a noobie to flashing my phone and have attempted to do so, with no success and now my device is bricked.....so i'm looking for a handout here before I totally give up and see if the local Verizon store will help me at this point.....
Here's the story,
I attempted to installed a custom ROM using Safe strap, but couldn't get it to take. So, I then decided I no longer wanted my phone rooted. Downloaded an MD5 file, and used ODIN to attempt to flash it back to stock. Hit start in ODIN, then immediately got an error message, and now my phone only says that a firmware installation has failed and use the backup program.
Ok, so I tried downloading the MD5 file again and still have the same results. I keep getting the following screen when I attempt to flash it via ODIN on my phone:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SM-N900V
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: OxO
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: Ox1
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
AP SWREV: S1, T1, A1, A3, P1
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
UDC START
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 3 > Binary 1
So I have no idea what i've done here by poking at it......and have no idea what to do now besides crawl for help and ask for forgiveness at Verizon.....
I'm currently downloading the latest MD5 file from Sammobile.com in a last attempt. The previous MD5 files were obtained via other sites.
Again, any help is appreciated.....

You tried downgrading your bootloader. Flash your latest if you can find it.
Thank you for the help!
Is there any possibility I could ask for some help as to where to find the bootloader file? I'm assuming you find and download the file, then add it under the BL box in ODIN, in addition to checking the [Phone Bootloader Update] box?
Again, thank you for the help, I have no idea what to do next other than what you have helped with......and no phone now due to my own incompetence.....

If you have the N900V firmware file to upgrade to, the bootloader will automatically be flashed in the PDA all-in-one file. No firmware comes without a bootloader already inside.
Just flash the latest firmware using Odin (if you can) and then everything will be flashed as a new system except your data which may remain.

Got it. So, most likely what's happening is the MD5 (Frimware file) i'm trying to flash has an older bootloader than what's already on the phone, so i'm getting the error message telling me this. In essence, the phone is telling me i'm trying to downgrade and not allowing it.
I have located a new Frimware file via sammobile.com by typing in my model number (N900V) and the date was April 2014 for the file. Hopefully this is the right one, otherwise, I have no idea what to do next......as this is the latest file I can find by my limited experience/means.
So, once the download completes (not a paid member on sammobile) in about an hour, i'll give it a shot via ODIN and hopefully it works this time.
I will keep this thread updated as to the success/failure. Again, thank you for the help.......I have no idea what to do at this point other than take it in to the store and get scolded by them. Hopefully this MD5 file from sammobile is the right one

The MD5 single file should be the AIO file that you only need to flash through AP, and it will handle everything by itself.
The file from sammobile.com flashed perfect! I have a phone again, thank you so much! I see my KNOX counter is still set to 0x1, I assume that will always indicate it has been tampered with?

Hi, I would like to unroot my A3 2015 with the following specs:

CURRENT BINARY SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X1 (3)
I think the KNOX was tripped because I downgraded my phone to KITKAT and now I would like to make it official so that I could make it LOLLIPOP again so that I can sell it. Is there any way to unroot it?

Your counter is already tripped, and you can't "un-trip" it. Just download your firmware in .tar.md5 for your country from AndroidFileHost, then you'll have back a pure stock and unrooted android. But your flash counter cannot change now, your warranty is void.

Oohh okay. Can I already safely update (OTA) it to Lollipop??
There is not "safely", just update using Odin if the OTA isn't proposed.
Odin isn't dangerous, just check "F. reset time" and "Auto Reboot", nothing more (you can check "Nand Erase All" if you want to get a clean phone and lose all ur files)
