Need PIT partition file for at&t S4

Hi Guys,
I had rooted my phone using motochopper then yesterday I received OTA update. Everything seems to be fine then later I started getting Samsung Text-to-Speech engine has stopped working everytime I opened Gallery. It was very frustrating, so I did factory Reset. After Factory reset when I go to last screen to startup my phone(Learn about Key Features:Air view, Air gesture) and click Finish. I get "Unfortunately Settings has stopped" error. I found the stock firmware here hxxp://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/ But every time I use Odin I get PIT Partition not found.
Please help guys, I am stuck, don't know what to do now. :crying:

You can get the stock firmware from the "Development" section and also a step-by-step guide how to do it...search the development section for it. You can also find a lot of information about the issue you are having with the "stopped settings" error, again you can search for the info. I would also suggest you research ODIN to make sure you have the correct boxes checked so you don't hard brick your phone. Good luck.

i had the same exact issue and tried ODIN. didint work. i used to KIES to restore my firmware and it works again! try using KIES.

I checked all appropriate settings for ODIN before upgrading the firmware. I got the same error all the time. I will research "Stopped Settings" error and let you know if I find anything. Thanks for the quick response.

Hi I am choosing "Firmware upgrade and initialization" option to download the firmware. I put my phone into recovery mode as per steps mentioned and click "Start Upgrade" it takes around 40-50 minutes to download the firmware, then after sometime I get failed to connect to the phone. It's weird the "Start Upgrade" option is only enabled after I properly connect the cable and Kies have recognized the phone. Then why after some time it would say failed to recognized please try again?

weird mine never said enter recovery. what i did was plugged in my phone and i did the ""Firmware upgrade and initialization" then it gose through all the agreements and downloads the firmware. then it'll auto boot in to download mode for the install. are you using the stock usb? which port are you using on your computer? is KIES up to date? do you have the right drivers?( then again i think kies will install them but just in case) try already being in download mode.
also you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261232

I tried same at&t stock firmware but this time I used Odin 3.0.7 like Adam recommended in another post to upgrade and it worked like a charm. Before I was using Odin 1.8.5 and I was getting Missing PIT partition error all the time.
Thanks all for the quick response.

I get different errors trying to flash stock ROM in Odin too. Missing PIT error mostly. Now phone is stuck at bad upgrade screen. Kies won't detect phone to use that method to restore either. Any other suggestions??

Did. Wouldn't have appealed for help without first making sure I followed the OP's instructions perfectly. I know the rules. I read the other posts before posting. I'm here for 2 things: To learn how to get the most potential out of my devices and to contribute from my experiences when I can. Thanks for your prompt reply though...
EDIT: solution to my stuck phone problem was solved by visit to ATT store for replacement. I can tell you what happened to my 7 day old device that brought it to the point where it would not load through Kies or Odin:
Eager to remove Samsung & ATT bloat stuff, I rooted using motochopper then used Titanium Backup to remove all ATT related apps & some of the Samsung apps. I got the unlock icon on lock screen as others have after root. I removed Superuser and replaced with SuperSU. Unlock icon went away and phone status went back to official. This is when I started noticing the Samsung text-to-speech program would frequently FC during the launch of few apps. Internet would also FC during certain operations. I read of others having success installing the stock ROM with ODIN and decided to give it a try. At first I got the no PIT error then finally after a few repeated attempts it moved past that point but then failed for some other reason during installation. I did notice a little activity on the progress bar on my device during Odin flash, but when the flash failed, that was it. My device was locked up. My PC & Kies would detect the device but could never connect or mount the device. My guess is that some of the Samsung apps I deleted were tied to the Samsung engines and the lack of their presence somehow caused FCs. Comments and questions appreciated.

Got the same Odin Mode Recovery Kies problem, No Pit fixed with ODIN 3.07 used PDA and loaded normal firmware.

[Q] S4 not starting,please help me out!

Hey guys,please help me out.Today while Rooting International Galaxy S4 with CF-Auto-Root via odin,the odin encountered a problem and ended eventually interrupting the Root process.when I turn on the phone it says ''Firmware Upgrade encountered a problem.Use Kies to recover it.''
So i downloaded the official Jellybean 4.2.2.When I started installing this firmware via odin,its always getting stuck at Setup connection and eventually says Failed.This is happening again and again.I tried using different USB ports and using different PC,but still no success.
Please help me out guys,please.

Option 1, Make sure no Kies is running in the background and try flashing using odin 3.07/04
Option 2, uninstall kies restart the system and re do the process of updating the firmware / try diffrnt ports and cable if possible
Option 3, If this does not work try latest firmware that should work

[Q]HELP Samsung S4 not starting

Hi guys,
First thanks for all your help in advance.
My mobile yesterday started to give me error "Not registered on the network" every time I tried to do a phone call. After google-it apparently this is a common problem on the Samsung devices and following a tutorial on the link bellow I was able to root my mobile phone without any problem and following the tutorial on idroidspace I was able to try all the solutions as suggested
As a first option they told me to try using ARIZA patch, but when I ran it says that my model is not compatible. As second option they advice me to flash my modem, I have follow all the instructions but didn't work as well, I was still receiving the error when I tried to do a phone call.
Today I was looking to find the stock firmware (ROM) for my Samsung thinking that a reinstallation could work to solve the error, but after I installed the Kernel file using ODIN v3.07 my mobile is now saying "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message and after that is not showing any image on the screen
I'm trying to turn my mobile using recovery mode but the same message shows up and the mobile is not turning on...I'm only able to turn the mobile on using the download mode...and ODIN is still detecting it
My Mobile is a Samsung S4 GT-I9505 XXUBMEA unlocked to all the networks from UK
Can you guys please help me? I probably have destroyed the phone already and seek for help to late. But can you guys help me?
Thanks

You need to go to http://www.SamMobile.com and download the newest official stock
i9505 Odin flash firmware/rom and flash it.
Here is the firmware you need:
GT-I9505 United Kingdom (EE) 2013 November 4.3 I9505XXUEMJ8 I9505EVREMJ2
This is the latest official stock samsung jellybean 4.3 firmware for your phone.
This is the stock official firmware for your country and for your phone so it's NOT rooted.
You will have to create a new user account at SamMobile.com but it takes only a minute.
Good luck!

I'm downloading it now.
To install it I will need to use ODIN, right? Click on the button PDA and select the right? Just in case and for double checking
Also, do you think this will solve the error with the phone calls? And should I worry about the kernel message on the startup?
Thanks

is it possible to get root and recovery on these roms? no point if cant..............do i need downgrade then root and recovery?

yes. that is possible as that you will change knox warranty void to 0x1 i think.

hi guys,
I have managed to install the suggested firmware and now the mobile is turning on and I have the recovery mode back as well. The only problem is now the Wi-Fi doesn't work and the error is still there everytime that I try to do a phone call.
There is any suggestions? Do you guys think if I use a custom firmware instead of the stock one the problems will go away? Do you guys recommend any firmware for my device?
Open for any suggestions as I really don't know what can I do more...
Thanks

Hi guys,
I was just on the phone with Samsung support and they actually told me to look for an answer in the forums, and I will be surprised how much information can I find out here...
I'm writing a complain at the moment as the phone is not even 6 months old and I really don't know what to do to fix it
Any suggestion from your guys? I'm really out of options at the moment
Thanks,

SM N910V Software Update Failed

A week ago i tried updating my verizon samsung galaxy note 4 via the Verizon Software Repair Assistant. First i upgraded it to the latest software available but as there were some problems during the instalation i decided to repair the phone(deleting everything) an made a backup in my computer. The thing is during this process it got stuck over and over again in 83%. So i took out the battery (even when its not recommended to do so), uninstalled the Verizon Software Repair Assistant (first i deleted the device from my computer), drivers and Kies. But when i tried to download everything again the USB didnt recognise my phone and didnt download the Software, tried looking for it online but no luck.
Now i am stuck with this message in Odin Mode:
Software Update Failed
Your device didnt update successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update.
My phone details:
Model: SM-N910V
SKU: SMN910VZWE
Tried to solve this with Kies, Smart Switch, unroot it with Odin, etc and it didnt work. Can somebody help me?

You should download the latest stock tar file and flash it with Odin. That should resolve your issue.

Thank you for response, help and effort, but I did by Odin few minutes ago, just using repair firmware file for my N910V Note4..!
If somebody has same issue or similar I think him/her could use it to resolve too. Thanks to xda user Trex888 who published the next link to download correct file for my phone: http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...ader-csc-pit-files&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82
Complete thread link is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/software-update-failed-sm910v-t3498246
Thanks again..!

I had same issue, fail on all firmware (Verizon Note 4), changed usb cord, flashed back to stock and was even able to downgrade (5.0.1).

Does anyone know the name of the file that worked? Link is dead.

S7 Edge - Bricked

Hi Guys,
I'm a bit stuck and having tried to read as many posts as I can I still can't find an answer. I tried to put a custom rom on my s7 edge after successfully rooting it. Putting the rom on didn't go well and i'm getting the Kernel SeaAndroid error on startup.
I can still get to download mode/TWRP recovery but I don't have an SD card and I am using a Mac. Every fix I have seen seems to use normal ODIN for windows which I can't use. I tried flashing the rom using Jodin3.
At this moment, I just want to get my phone working so am happy to go back to stock initially. Can anyone help??
Thanks

Have you tried emergency firmware recovery or whatever it is via SmartSwitch? The Desktop application I mean?
Here's a link to the Mac version:
