Not trying to create a issue here and i am sorry if i break any forum rules since i don't really follow the forums very much.
I just need some help cause i think my phone is soft bricked . I don't know what caused the brick because one night i was watching a youtube video on " How to cook that" and then the next morning i wake up and my device doesn't start up .. Its stuck on the Samsung logo. Now before all the people comment on how i should do the recovery thing and all i just want to clarify that i cant get into the recovery option as well and i even tried flashing stock rom quadruple times but odin says PIT partation no found . Now I even tried the pit partation and downloaded the file but odin says reparation error . Now i have searched the internet all over before posting here so here are the list of things that i have already done and havent worked
1) Tried going to recovery
2) Tried flashing a recovery
3)Tried falshing stock rom ( PIT Error)
4) Tried flashing stock rom with the PIT file ( Re-partition error)
5) Used the new original cable for flashing ( I read somewhere that non-original cables tend to not work)
6) Used different ports in the pc ( same thing .. read some where that one port may not work)
7)Tried flashing through three different laptops
8) Used a software called " heimdalloneclick " still didnt work
9) And finally tried praying to god to fix my phone .. still didnt work.
and then i ended up opening a new thread to post my problem ..
now i bought this cellphone about a year and a half ago and was working just fine .. could this be a hardware issue ?? I dont know so please can some1 help me !! Much appreciated . Thank you
Model no SM-g900h
What PIT file did you use? Firmware files differ mainly in size of hidden partition, you may need to use other pit files, some has only 10MB space for hidden partition, some 50, some 100, and some firmware needs even 200MB space for hidden partition, but i couldnt find working PIT file for 200MB.
EDIT: didnt notice you have G900H sorry :/ still you can use program PIT MAGIC to enlarge hidden partition using your pit file
will try that and let u know how it went .. thanks for taking your time to reply . Much appreciated
Where is ather Pit file because I have a same problem?

Okay so i downloaded the pit magic thing that u told me and when i opened it i didnt know what the fudge it was.. it was like some alien sheet thanks for your help tho. but it would be helpful if u can get me some pit files
Is your S5 the 32GB version?
If yes, I don't think we have a 32GB PIT file available, if it's the 16GB version, this is the correct PIT file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2794808&d=1402604385
But DO NOT flash that PIT if it is the 32GB version, or you could end up with a 16GB phone, permanently
Hi, i need the PIT file for E700H. My phone is currently stuck in bootloop, I've already searched for the file on google but didn't get it. Thanks in advance

Well, i did a NAND Erase all, so flashing anything again doesn't do anything. And so i needed the PIT to do a clean flash with repartition and so was asking for PIT, i got the file online and now everything works fine
Attaching the PIT file in case anyone needs it in future.
excellent

my mobile just bricked, neve gets out of the samsung screen, but I can't find the goddam pit file for a samsung e700M
Hi!
Some time ago my n910F tottaly bricked(it was on Norma V11 ROM). After some reserch, i've managed to turn on download mode via microSD card and from there i've tried to flash BL,AP,CP and CSC. Unfortunately odin failed (PIT problem) so i've tried to flash PIT file. It crashed too. Phone restarted and, when it came back to download mode it was looking diffrent. Now there are 2 diffrent errors:
1. There is no PIT binary
2. Device have invalid PIT
What should i do now? I don't have any ideas Maybe awesome community of XDA will help me?

I've been using tutorial that recomended me to use those files:
BL: "BL_N910FXXU1DPI1_CL9117724_QB10791804_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT" >> DPI1
AP:"AP_N910FXXU1DPI1_CL9117724_QB10791804_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT" >> DPI1

CSC: "CSC_VFR_N910FVFR1DPF1_CL8447885_QB10051693_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT" >> DPF1
All of them failed (Probably not their fault) so i've tried to flash PIT file named "TRLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit" (i think it should be the proper one). Still no luck there. As you can see on the video ODIN fails that flashes

You flashed the wrong pit!
Flash this firmware
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/116551/N910FXXU1DPL2_N910FBTU1DPL1_BTU/
With this pit at the same time.

Still doesn't work PIT file that you gived to me looks exactly the same to the one that i used. Phone keeps saying that there is no pit binary, or "wrong PIT id".
Maybe there is a problem with that download mode? To turn it on i have to eject microSD card, while phone is reading "T-flash". And even then there is no android logo like it is on normal download mode. Only some writings...
Is there a way to flash PIT via microSD? Every time i start phone it keeps saying that it's copying from T-FLASH and after that it's rebooting...
The device bricked not becouse of bad flashing, so i'm starting to think that this is a hardware problem...

Hello,
Please provide more details. and plz consider these when unbricking....
{No 1 is most important i have been in this situation and only the official firmware accepted the pit file for me}
1. Download your official firmware from sammobile.com and try to flash that with the default pit file. (or try this one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84115590/SM-N910F_32GB.pit ) when you get your phone up and running you can root and flash any custom rom of your choice.
2. Files you trying to flash have really long file names. I know it does not cause a problem but when you are in trouble you must think about all the possibilities. Download files with shorter file names just in case.
3. Try to flash one file at a time.
Try and report will respond.
Thanks!
Hi!
I've got some problems with my PC, and then i had to pass kind of " school leaving exams" so i was absent here, at xda
Now back to the topic:
My phone still don't want to boot. @callumbr1 I've done everything that is in that link, before i even writed here . Thanks to that my phone turns on to the moment that is shown on the video. @hi_blues Everything that i've downloaded was either from sammobile or from some tutrials "how to debrick etc" here on xda. Link provided by you didn't changed anything
2. All of the official firmware that i found has long names, but i think that more important then name of actual file is lenght of path to access it So I've tried flashing directly from C://... but nothing helped.
3. So flashing one file at a time does nothing
Maybe some other ideas? Becouse my n910F bricked i had to switch to my fathers nokia 3310 (the old one). Well, i really lack some features like Camera, Internet or colorfull display
I've had many phones in the past and never had a problem flashing stock and custom on any of them, but i've run into a issue with my sisters J5 2016 that i cant sort out.
As far as i understand she did an OTA update, but it failed halfway. The phone turned off, then wouldn't reboot......thats when she gave to me.
I first tried to access recovery mode, but this was not working.
If you just try to power up normally, then you get the samsung screen, but with the error message in corner.
View attachment 4231349
Only mode working is download mode, but this has an error in the first line that i have never seen before (it actually starts my worry that the internal memory is damaged somehow)
View attachment 4231345
I tried a firmware (single file in the AP box), but failed on pit.
So tried a version of firmware with the 4 separate files, but same error messages, so retried with the separate .pit file included in the flash.....still no joy, same error messages.

I have searched Internet and xda, but can not find this fail, so hoping someone might have a solution, or a way i can prove the internal memory is damaged (maybe theres another piece of software that i can use)

Use Smart Switch. It will automatically download and restore anything needed even if that means a pit file. Give it a try using thr Emergency Recovery option.

Thank you for trying to help, that is much appreciate, but maybe i didn't make it clear.
The only working option is the Download mode, the Recovery mode doesn't work, so Smart Switch cant connect/see the phone

Doesn't matter. Just enter your s/n of the phone found behind the battery in the Smart Switch menu saying "Emergency Recovery"
It doesn't specifically need to recognise it or show as connected. Just make sure ur in download mode with cable in and enter the emergency data in the bokes so Smart Switch can force download the stock firmware for your phone

Unfortuantly it was a fail.
Smart Switch downloaded the firmware, but could not install it and displayed a user friendly "Unknown Mode" message (i did check by plugging into odin without switching the phone off and odin showed it was in download mode).
The last message on phone screen reads "mmc: mmc_read fail" (this appeared when Switch came up with its fail message)
Just for clarity I tried all the above multiple times with different leads, and even different laptops and have upgraded my own phone without issues earlier .....so i am near admitting defeat with this J5 6
I do have to say again, thanks for suggesting and helping

i dont know my answer will help or not. but i have met some older samsung phones with error in mmc. mmc is a hardware, so if you want to fix you have to change the mmc. maybe you can search for information about mmc on google to make sure.
by the way, why dont you go to service center? your waranty still 0x0
yea like mfmuam mentioned, take it to service centre and most likely they will change your motherboard. If your warranty is unexpired it will be totally free.

Unfortuantly her warrenty expired about 3 weeks ago (almost like the phone knew it had to break away that date ), but yes i have considered hitting ebay and getting her another board. Shes on holiday at moment, so will have to wait to see what she wants to do....... Thanks for advise though :good:
check your android security patch level ( im now in may 1 2017 region XID ) and than you download stok rom same like security patch level in your phone and than flash with odin put in pda.

@meerameer
Hello,
please dont give up.
But also please dont be a fool and try repair change motherboard
by yourself.
You could try to re-flash with Heimdall program at Linux-System.
But before you can try to flash in Windows with Odin 3.12 program again.
download the very first firmware rom from samdownloads (they have 4-part rom with pit file)
make sure your battery is at 80% minimum
take out the battery
wait 30 sec
press and hold only power button for 10 sec
put back battery
start phone in download mode with no keys but only usb jig insert
start odin 3.12 and prepare all files but take CSC_(your-code) (do not use the csc_home!), take option with reboot, and also re-partition
connect phone with pc and start odin flash
Another idea would be to flash some custom recovery only and do full wipe
there, and then let Smart Switch emergency repair the phone.
You also have still a chance to get it repaired by the Samsung Service,
for maybe just a small fee. Just write them some short lovely email.

Thank you Mr Frantic for the nice clear instructions :good:
I actually spend all day fixing hardware on phones and laptops, but thats hardly the rocket science of software like you developers get into. I have done flashing etc since the days of my beloved ACE.
I followed you so far down to 7, as i don't have a separate csc, apart from the csc_home file and for all my searching for a UK separated file firmware i had no luck, only got the combined one
I have tried what you suggested, but am going to try again following you to the letter :highfive:
PS Custom Recovery wouldn't go on, failed on odin at the .pit and theres no recovery (as far as i can tell) on the phone, just displays the J5 6 first screen, with the addition of the info text you get when in Download Mode.
@meerameer
Hello,
you could also try firmware for another country like germany, as the chance is good
that there it will be possible to choose english language in setup.
Maybe you can try this german firmware with csc_dbt.
But you need to be registered to samdownloads and firmware zip has password for encrypt
but its written on the download site (its mostly samdownloads.de)
The csc_home will not erase the internal storage since there is normally no pit file in it.
Because you need to re-pit and format the phone completely, you must use any
csc_(any country) but not csc_home.
Maybe thats why Odin fail for you so many times, because you never got any csc part
with the pit file in it?
You can check the csc part file if there is a pit file in it, you can open csc file with 7-zip.
EDIT:
Anyways, i have attach now the single pit-file for the j5-2016 european version.
So now you can try flash your 4 firmware in Odin with this additional pit file.
In Odin you got the menu for repit, where you can select the pit-file
manually (there is a warning that pit from csc will be used, but since you dont
have any csc file with pit in it, you can give a try.)
Else you still have the option to use SamFirm download program, where
you can download the newest firmware with option in binary nature (that means 4-parts)
and there will be csc file with the pit file already in it,
so you can flash like you already did.
I hope that helps..

Seems I was having a dumb moment earlier. :silly:
Yes I checked before and the csc contained "J5XNLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN220M.pit". Thanks for the pit file also, I have checked on file size and they are exactly the same .
I have been questioning myself wondering if had right pit for my model, but screen and sticker (under battery) all say J510FN and all the .pit files i have found are all exactly same file size.
In total I've tried two 4 file firmwares, and 3 single file ones from different regions and release dates. All stop on that pit error before it even gets into the essence of the firmware.
Can you think of any software that can test the mmc , something that might give a bigger hint to whether its a hardware issue?
Hello,
well there is the option to test the mmc with special equipment for experts.
But its difficult and requires knowledge.
Did you try another Odin version?
Maybe Odin 3.09 or 3.10.7 can flash the firmware.
In older version of Odin, only check option for re-pit.
Do not make auto-reboot.
Only check re-partition and f.reset-time.
Do not use BL.
Only use AP+CP+CSC+pit file
When flash is finished, take out battery and put back in,
and restart manually into download mode and flash again the single firmware file
in AP.
I think you have flashed a different firmware version which is not suitable for your pit file
with the 220M addition.
It is very important to use the corresponding firmware files.
Maybe you only use the provided pit file for flash (do not select anything in BL, etc),
just select the pit file in re-pit menu.

Ok tried this, but still no joy.
I think you are certainly correct about what you were saying about the 220m pit file, as that one on the phone screen gives the message "ERROR There is no pit binary".
The pit file you posted gives the error "SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT"
But the only time i have seen a SECURE CHECK FAIL message before is when i have accidentally in past tried putting completely wrong firmware on a phone , does that fit with what you know ?
ADDITIONAL INFO
My sister told me last night she had in fact taken it to her local indepentant phone shop to see if they could repair, they had no luck.
So i dont know what they did to it in their attempts. I do now have to wonder if they badly failed and now the phone is confused to what pit it should have, hence errors on software that should have fixed it
I've checked with the imei and the serial to make sure I'm defiantly looking for right files (J510FN), also my sister had from new and its never had a replacement board etc.......so im sort of hitting a brick wall.
Seems only option is to drive the 50 miles to the city, where i know there is an authentic Samsung repair store and hand over my life saving for them to look at it and tell me what we already know
Hello,
its really weird, its hard to find out what went wrong with your phone..
Maybe the guys at the generic repair center did the final brick of it.
As you said with the pit file i provided you got another kind of error.
I think there was some mix in bootloader and pit files which were used
at begin error stage 1.
I seen some kind similar problem when people was cross-mixing the 4-part
firmware files (they wanted use older bootloader but newer modem and system
or vice versa).
As there is still shown the samsung official binary but custom system, it is
possible the guys at generic repair center did use Odin and checked the
nand erase all option which is never, never, never a good idea.
Try to flash with this Odin v3.10.7 version
I strongly recommend you get your firmware file with
the SamFirm downloader ,
where you can search for your model SM-J510FN with countrycode BTU,
and check option to download in binary nature , so you will get the 4 parts.
The program requires .NET Framework 3.5 (Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) installed)
Here and here.
If you have the firmware there is no need to extra select the pit file for
flashing since its in csc_btu integrated. Just check option repartition, f.reset time.
These files also get checksum, then the secure fail *should* not happen...
If not fail then after finish flash take out battery, wait, put back,
goto recovery and do factory reset..
Im running out of ideas.. , anyways good Luck .

Hello,
its really weird, its hard to find out what went wrong with your phone..
Maybe the guys at the generic repair center did the final brick of it.
As you said with the pit file i provided you got another kind of error.
I think there was some mix in bootloader and pit files which were used
at begin error stage 1.
I seen some kind similar problem when people was cross-mixing the 4-part
firmware files (they wanted use older bootloader but newer modem and system
or vice versa).
As there is still shown the samsung official binary but custom system, it is

OK, I have a couple of hours free now, so will try this.
Just like to say again, thanks for all your suggestions, you have been more than helpful :fingers-crossed:
UPDATE
Tried what you suggested, but still no joy.
Tomorrow i need to go near the city, so going to take a detour and take phone to the Samsung Shop. I'll update you on what they have to say about it .
Thanks again
Sad to hear it didnt work
I just was about to say, try what I said but also select the same separate pit file in the pit menu.
Im pretty sure the "right" mix of the right pit file and the corresponding firmware files could
help. But theres so many versions to try and its hard to find especially older firmwares..
Best regards.

***Final Update***
I managed to get the logic board checked by Samsung and the emmc was corrupted. They wanted £124 to fix it.... Which I declined, as I can a replacement board on ebay for around. £60.
Chances are that the fault was caused by when my sister took it to a local generic repair shop, and might have been ok if she has gone to a more reputable repair shop.
So my note to all is research your repair stores when you have a fault, as the cheapest doesn't always mean the best.
