How can i flash my i9003 when there is only one file and none of it even states that it is a PDA,PHONE or CSC fileso be patient wit me.. how to flash ..any one could help me...

Just select the pit file as normal but remember to uncheck repartition box and flash , then reboot in download mode and put the ddkb2 single file in the PDA slot and flash
Press Thanks if it helps you!!!

dont do this foolishness by selecting the pit file..
directly choose the PDA file .
andperform a hard reset after flashing..
ur done....

But don't u need a pit even for flashing a single file package?

No... You don't need a pit file when flashing binary as a single file.
Select the tar as pda and flash it.

The PIT file is to repartition the phone for a clean wipe. When upgrading you need only the PDA file, Considering it falls under the same OS version

I need a PDA,PHONE and CSC file for I9003DDKB2 because in my i9003 I have already installed I9003XXKP9.So I want to change it back to my orignal I9003DDKB2 in my mobile.
So anbody who has the file please upload it.
Problem that I am facing in the I9003XXKP9 is the camera is not working, is there any way I can rectify the problem and retain the I9003XXKP9 in my mobile.Then may be I wont need the files for I9003DDKB2.
Thanks in advance

Flash to xxkb3 following krazy's guide and then flash to ddkb2 without using the pit file...put your file in pda and flash

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.

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] PIT File for SM-G900I

I need to flash a .pit file in ODIN as I can't flash a standard PDA file due to NAND error.
Where do I find a .pit file for a SM-G900I? I can't seem to work it out.
Any help would be great

Help! Odin failed on friends phone.

Help I've tried to flash the H3G lollipop on my friends phone and odin has failed. I'm reading the I need to use a pit file to repartition the phone but my question is, could I use my phone to create the pit file? I successfully flashed it yesterday on mine. If not, where can I get the pit file please?

I got this pit file from XDA should be helpful probably.

Should I update my PIT file?

Hello, I've got this question when I downloaded a new firmware for my phone and found another pit file inside the package. I used that pit file to flash the new firmware instead of the original one extracted from my phone using Heimdall, but it gave me some issues such as file systems with wrong size and so on.
I found an option called "repartition" in Heimdall and Odin which does upload the new pit into the phone but I haven't tried that option yet.
The question is: Should I update the new partition file to my phone using the repartition option? Or should I keep using the old one?
Another question: Why do new releases have a pit file? Does that mean that I have to repartition my phone?
As you can see attached below the two files differ from 3 kilobytes of size
