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] [Request] PIT File for 16GB SGH-I1337

My phone is in download mode and keeps failing when I try to flash to stock firmware. I heard I just need the PIT file to re-partition in odin and then I should be all good to go.

[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.

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.
