Hi everyone!
As I'm in need of a PIT file for the Galaxy S5 G900F with the newest update from Samsung, since I got a couple of problems with my phone which might be linked to the PIT, I was looking somewhere to get it. I got a couple of questions regarding this, which I was unable to find using the search
1. Is there any website / forum from where I can get the specific PIT file I need?
2. Should the PIT-file be used with certain firmware-updates?
3. Is the PIT-file carrier/region-specific?
4. If yes, would it be possible for someone to provide me with the NEE (Northern Region, SWE, DK, NO) PIT file? (I will love you 4-ever, if this is the case)
All answers are appreciated, and thank you in advance!
If you Googled the first part of your post "PIT file for the Galaxy S5" you'd have found them right here on XDA
Did that

Yeah, I found that post. What it doesnt say though is whether the PIT files are region/firmware specific. Secondly, it doesn't have the NEE PIT file, if that is the case.
PIT files are for repartitioning the phone, they are only model / device specific, nothing else

So i bought my tab a week ago, and since i was so used to xda and my htc phones i decided to flash the newest firmware ( which at that point was the JK5 ).
My firmware was P1000BUJI4 or P1000BUJI5 and i simply used odin 1.7 and the pit file called P1_20100909.pit to go to JK5. I never went to JJ4 ( do i needed to ? )
It went straight to JK5 with no problems, no repartion and direct boot was ok.
So i am seeing some new additions here.
People are flashing a db file after flashing the JM6 , why is that ? I own a euro tab and i have voice capability out of the box.
So if i try to go to JM6, do i have to flash that db file too or i dont ? Someone that knows should do a tutorial about what are the pit files do, and that db file and how is the proper flashing process.
I am not implying something, i am just saying that it should be done for the not so advanced users, so they wont brick their devices.
EDIT : Noone even caring to answer some simple questions ?
I think your questions are covered in the JM6 firmware thread in this section. The consensus seems to be that you don't need to flash the "db file" as you describe it. I'll be flashing a UK model tomorrow with this firmware so am interested in this too, but that thread is probably where you need to be asking (if it hasn't already been answered).

THanks for the answer, but the dbdata file had to be flashed so that i would be able to boot back to ui.
I found out everything i wanted the hard way, thanks for the answer though.
Why can't I flash a stock rom from a different country? Odin says "FAIL! Size".
Hey guys,
Got a G900I from Taiwan. I live in Australia. I went to www.sammobile.com and downloaded the latest unbranded Australia rom. Went to flash it with Odin. Odin got about 95% through then failed saying "FAIL! Size".
Any idea what the issue is? I the successfully flashed the latest Taiwan rom with no issues. I can deal with using the Taiwan rom, I'm just more curious what the issue is from a learning stand point. I never had any problems like this with my S3 and flashing other country's roms.
Ta.

On Galaxy Note 3, Taiwan and Hong Kong devices are NOT compatible with other stock firmwares. It is due to they have different PIT files.
So it may also be the case with the S5.

Admittedly I'm not sure what this means, but both original and active claim to be "BRI".

Ok, BRI is for Taiwan.
In order to flash unbrand firmware on your phone, you should have PIT file from that firmware, and flash this PIT file together with the firmware via Odin.

Thanks. I can do some research from here. But seeing as you've been a great help, do you know if there is a good website for archiving PIT files?
(PS. Not sure what the guy above this comment is asking or why it's relevant to this convo =/)

You can ask someone who owns S5 in this forum for help. It needs root to extract the PIT file.
in order to extract the PIT file, install Terminal Emulator and enter the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/S5.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176
Then copy the S5.pit file on the sdcard.
BTW, can you upload your PIT file from your own Taiwan S5?
Sure. Here ya go.

If you do have PIT file from another (international) S5, please send me so I will compare partition structures to see if any difference.
Hi,
I am confused about PIT files. I have a 16GB S5 with the Vodafone IT carrier.
Is the PIT tied up to S5+16GB+Vodafone, or is it tied up to the ROM version (S5+16GB+Vodafone+Android-x.y.z)? That is, given the same model, carrier, and ROM (stock), is the PIT updated at each OTA?
And, do I need to look for an "updated" PIT file if I have the following flow over time:
- have stock official Vodafone IT Kitkat
- flash various CM ROMs
- flash the official Vodafone IT Lollipop
Thank you.
hello
The pit file is a partition map.be carefully with pit download for ur modell of device

You will find in xda pit file
Thank you, but this does not answer my question. I know what a pit file is, but I do not understand if
a new pit file is produced at each official Samsung release for each S5 model. So, we need to backup every time
OR the pit file never changes for a specific model
PIT file is for the specific phone only, not ROM
It is a Partition Information Table

Ok, so if there is a ROM update by Samsung, even if it is a major release (e.g., from Kitkat to Lollipop), the PIT file does not change.
Was asking because I was wondering if a ROM might require a different partition table.
Thank you!
No, that's why the PIT files have the S5 model number and storage size as their names
ie: G900F 16GB
Updates by Samsung are designed for specific devices, that's one of the reasons you can not use a different devices ROM on your S5, along with other things like drivers etc
Hey guys i want to use 11gb pit file on lollipop i looked to thread kitkat chinese link was given to us. But i want to use on lollipop with any lollipop rom for i9500.
Can anyone help me? What should i flash ?
And if you tell me how i can , i will persuade
I've made a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/pit-mostorage-mod-t3222959
I modified the I9505 pit file, I need the original I9500 pit file so I can compare the two. If they are the same, you can safely flash the I9505 modified pit file, however you risk bricking your phone (but I think it is still possible to boot into download mode and flash the original pit)

No you cannot do that. If you use the Chinese .pit then you can only use offical Chinese. Probably also custom roms.
Hey guys, I'm having a little trouble trying to flash my rooted 32Gb UK EE Note 3.
I want to take it back to original firmware from EE, so downloaded N9005EVRGBPB1 but it fails on flashing due to partition size issues.
I have no backup pit file (stupid, I know), so I can't repartition this to successfully flash the ROM. Where on earth do I find the correct pit file to flash alongside the AP file that I already have.
Eeeek....and cheers!
Where did you get the firmware?
No to worry, sorted it. Cheers!
