Hello, I've got this question when I downloaded a new firmware for my phone and found another pit file inside the package. I used that pit file to flash the new firmware instead of the original one extracted from my phone using Heimdall, but it gave me some issues such as file systems with wrong size and so on.
I found an option called "repartition" in Heimdall and Odin which does upload the new pit into the phone but I haven't tried that option yet.
The question is: Should I update the new partition file to my phone using the repartition option? Or should I keep using the old one?
Another question: Why do new releases have a pit file? Does that mean that I have to repartition my phone?
As you can see attached below the two files differ from 3 kilobytes of size

Well, it seems you've been using the original pit your whole life. Thanks for answering.

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

As you changed the partition structure by flashing a pit file, now you may need a pit file from G900FQ to flash FQ-firmware

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.

I seen on other forums you can basically create a working PIT (Partition Information Table) From a Working Device, obviously based on the Same Firmware set you are running, now that root is up and running, the idea is which mmcblk to dd to get it done
Here is a link for reference I found on older Galaxy Models, id assume the process is the same but again not sure about whick block device i need to copy
Pit File Extraction
Nvr Mind Found the pit file in the CSC Section of the Stock FLash Files, doesnt exactly tell me how to generate my own but does provide a working solution if ever needed
Please CLOSE

Did you ever extract the PIT file? I need one to fix my phone and I'm on the latest update that came out a few days ago. I don't have root and my S7 is stock.

I'm on PF2. I've never used a pit file with ODIN so what does it do exactly? Could you maybe help me?
I'm getting an error when rebooting in recovery saying "failed to mount /data (Invalid arguement)". I can't notice it affecting anything though. It only pops up after I select power off, reboot, or wipe cache. If I do a wipe data/cache and thrn reboot it doesnt pop up. My phone still seems to perform right but this error worries me.
Like I said, I've never tried to root or flash my phone but this is happening.

I've downgraded to PE1 seeing if that what fix my issue, but it didn't so if you do have the PE1 version that would be fine for now while I'm on this version.

if the stock files don't work i can extract a master PIT file from the phone but i need to make sure it covers all of the relevant partitions first, basically preventing you from getting an erroneous file, as they lay out how the phone should partition the emmc chip basically acting as a flash memory version of a hard drive
