SM-T555 - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

Hi
I bricked my sm-t555 and i'm trying to restore it by flashing stock firmware with odin. But everytime it says failed because size is to big. I think that I need a pit file to repartition but I don't know where to find it. Does anyone know how to unbrick this tablet?
thx in advance

Pit files are really "last resort" situation. What error are you getting?
What version of odin are you using?
What model of the note4 do you have?
What happened in the first place that got you here?
Have you tried to search for a fix?
What have you tried?
More info is needed mate.
Im also on the hunt for a PIT file. I had to use one on my 9505 a few times after a brutal softbrick/almost hardbrick to recover it.

Well I was trying to flash twrp trough the twrp app. But it failed. And when I wanted to reboot in recovery.. All my phone could do was boot in download mode. So I looked for the latest lollipop firmware from Samfirmware and got an error in odin. Something about the size is too big. 85098<125876 and odin said something about exfat hidden (I'm not really sure anymore). I got my phone back to work by flashing a random pit file I found on my pc. Definitely not a note 4 pit and it failed but for some reason it rebooted back to my 4.4.4 rom as it was before I bricked it. Strange. Cause odin was almost at the end of its flash so I assume some things were flashed...
Odin version 1.83 I guess but I tried it also with 3.04 and same error
I have nite 4 sm-N910F
Searched for a pit file but as I said it was fixed by a failed flash of 4.4.4 original firmware trough odin with a totally different pit file. For some reason it booted up again. So now my phone is back... If I put it manually in download mode... Will I have the same error? Cause yeah it's not bricked... See?

What that app did was wipe you're recovery... All you would of had to do was flash a twrp/cmw/PHILZ recovery.

Why do you need the partition information table?
have you tried to just flash the tar image?

nowadays tar (respectively odin) flashes won't finish and fail because of different partition layout! it throws an error message at almost the end of the flashing procedure!
@OP:
there would be a fix for avoiding the bootloop after such a failed flash: just reenter download mode an flash a recovery tar!
then the system will boot!
take into consideration that the partition which was wrong in size had not been updated! usually this is the hidden.img which won't matter! the system and boot partitions would have been successful!
Hi All
Thanks for the reply. I need the pit file for flash a vodafone official samsung rom. When i try to flash odin say say me not possible becouse i've a different partition.

Pit file is not required for flashing firmware from odin
Just download required firmware from sammobile and flash

Help need i9506 32 gb pit file

Hi
I need 32 gb pit file for Gt- I9506. as i messed with odin .
thanks for help.
When you are flashing with Odin, what is the error message? Posting the full log will help determine possible issues.
Hi
i was getting odin fail ext4 errer while flashing orignal 5.0.1 software .
So i tried to flash with pit file but unfortunatly used 16gb pit file and now i can boot in download mode or twrp but internal memory is messed up or wrongly mapped so cant flash any coustom rom.
i think i can still flash orignal with right pit file!
thanks
Please post a link or upload where i can find 32gb pit file !
thanks
Hi Pl. Help! still Cant finde suitable pit file ! Thanks
Hi,
When flashing, did you select repartition? What message did you get from Odin while trying to upload the 16gb pit file, was it successful?
Try to flash a stock firmware, then a custom recovery, and then a custom rom. Sometimes you just need to start over.
Have not found the 32gb pit file yet, but will continue to search.

When Odin gives an error when repartition is selected and no pit file is selected, i think you are fine.
I did not manage to find a file, searched through google and lxquick, browsed a few pages, with no results, sorry.
Since download and recovery still works i do not think any repartition did happen. If Odin failed this time while flashing the stock firmware, please save the log and post it here, makes it easier for us to understand what is happening. Thank you.

I accidentally checked the Re-partition button in Odin, the storage only recognize 32GB now

Hello everyone,
I have a phone beyond2qlte and I accidentally checked the "Re-partition" button in Odin without PIT, the storage only recognize 32GB now (The original size is 512GB). i am so stupid and would be so grateful for your kind help.
My phone is Snapdragon and tried every method to flash TWRP but still bootloop. I just want to have a phone for normal use now, but it seems so hard....
I flashed BL,AP,CP, CSC but still failed...
Please help me. Thanks a lot
