[Q] Flash fail no PIT file :( N9005EVRGBPB1 Help! - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

[Q] Bricked after NE6 bootloader flash

hey guys,
i tried the new rom by civato, for this i flashed the NE6 bootloader. the rom didn't work as expected (no data) so i tried to restore the stock rom NB7 via odin.
odin said succes, but the phone did not boot. i flashed cwm and flashed som roms from there, but i always got a freeze/bootloop, even after factory reset.
so i tried a full new flash with nand erase all. flash succeded, but i could not boot.
then i downloaded the N9005ZHUENE6 firmware from hongkong and tried to flash it, but odin always fails. now i get the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue." message and can't do anything with the phone anymore.
Can you please help me?
thank you in advance!
edit: problem solved, the NE4 pit file from sajjjjjjad did the job!

Head over to the HK thread(s) and see how to restore back to normal with Hong Kong variants it's a little different (you do have a HK version I assume? and not just risked an HK FW flash?)--- You can flash via ODIN again even with that error on the device.

Is there a difference between the international N9005 and the HK variant? my N9005 is from germany. i flashed the german firmware again and the error is gone, but the device is still in the bootloop..

Very slightly yes. More to do with some HK Software issues, that's the only N9005 firmware which shouldn't/can't be flashed on every device model N9005 - regarding your bootlooping.
Grab a PIT file, sort out what firmware you use and match them, then flash via Odin, there are a few guides and it's pretty straightforward, however you need to read properly or you risk a hard-brick.

I flashed the latest DBT firmware a couple of times, with a PIT file and without, with full nand erase and without. Odin always says passed but i get no boot sound and the device gets stuck at the boot animation.
I think the problem could be the NE6 bootloader i flashed, but if i flash the NE6 again after i flashed the NB7 firmware it doesn't boot either. Is it possible to downgrade the bootloader to another KitKat firmware?

thanks for the tip, do you have a source for the NE5? i can't find a download for this.
You can use www.sammobile.com/firmwares.
Make sure you have the correct pit file as you changed it to the hk version before

on this site i can't find a NE5 version. i flashed the ND6, device didn't boot.
so i tried to flash cwm, worked fine. then i was able to install and boot the latest cm11, but the baseband, min, prl-version, meid, imei and iccid are shown as unknown. so i tried to restore the efs backup i made via terminal emulator, it looks like it worked but when i reboot nothing changed.
any other ideas?

Hong Kong firmware is not for the international version. Hk phone is 16gb only and had different partition. So don't bother with it.

If your baseband is NB4/ND4/NE6 then you cannot downgrade however you can
upgrade if when any updates are available.
Good luck!

Why can't I flash a stock rom from a different country? Odin says "FAIL! Size".

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.

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.

Need a Lollipop Pit File!!

Hey Guys,
a few minutes ago, I tried to flash the newest Lollipop Rom from a german carrier via. odin. Before that, my Note 3 was running the leaked HongKong version of Lollipop. I missed, to backup my pit file and thats why I can't flash the new system. The problem is, that now my phone doesn't even boot. It even won't accept the HK version of Lollipop.
Can someone uploade his/her Pit-File for me?
Sorry, can be closed.
Got it from here.

[Q] Website for PIT files?

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

11gb pit on 5.0.1

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.
