Lots of good information. I am a crazy one that has been looking to start developing ROMS. Why not end my frustration with my TAB 3. I will begin reading and learning and will help develop a non TW ROM.

I been having some troubles with Heimdall. It wont program my tablet? the error is "ERROR: Protocol initialisation failed!"

So I started looking for P5210 pit and since I could not found one I decided to try an old trick use in other devices.

I use

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=481 skip=2176

And after testing the pit it seems correct. Looking inside it shows that its real name is "GT-P5210_EUR_XX_20130523.pit" so I rename it.

It is funny the only previews pit I found was for GT-P5200_EUR_XX_20130523.pit. Similar names.

So I created the other missing file needed for heimdall the "firmware.xml"

I attached the files.

But I still have not find why Heimdall wont communicate with Tablet?

Here is an analisys of the partition table

Code:

	P5200		P5200		P5210		P5210		P5010		P5010
Identifier	Partition Name		Flash FileName		Partition Name		Flash FileName		Block Size		Block Count

80	 IAFW		 iafw.bin		 IAFW		 iafw.bin				4096

I know the table looks bad. But take the data to a spread sheet. Note that the Block Size & Block Count shown is for P5210 only. it is different for P5200.

Nitro_123 · Feb 12, 2014

Now that we know the partitions, would it be possible to package say ubuntu and flash it to the device using heimdall ? is that possible at all :/

r2d23cpo · Feb 14, 2014

@Nitro_123

jijiji you are like us, you want with all your hart Ubuntu in Tab3 10.1. Nice
We on the other hand, want with all our hart AOSP or Cianomodgen.
I bet you having Ubuntu alt least boot up should be feasible but at this moment I may not be your guy.

I am trying to make Heimdall work for Tab3 10.1.

Good news:
I thought I had detected what seems the problem. But My collection of data was done in WIN7 version.
I have setup my CodeBlocks to compile Heimdall so that I can work on it.
I have started to do some mods, recompiling and testing.

Bad news
Ubuntu Heimdall behave very different than in WIN7. Delays are different even the debug messages change.
So the initial thought of a time delay of 1 second is not seen in Ubuntu. Still failed in the same spot.
Heimdall source have no comments!!! But it has many print labels that are easy to spot.
All the nice tools that I have to debug usb are for windows! I need to get some for Ubuntu.

Still It seems feasible.

r2d23cpo · Feb 19, 2014

I just want to say that I still working. Not as easy as I thought.
In Ubuntu many USB Device Managers query the USB port, disk driver , HID, Modemmanager, Audio & Video Player etc..(many others).

In particular some even "claim" the USB for them-self. This alternate USB managers make difficult the reverse engineering. In other words when I sniff ( monitor) the USB data I am never sure who sent what!!! I can say that I am learning a lot for sure.

Today i decide to use a different strategy. I will create my own communication program so I now for sure what I been sending to the Device. Well I will use an old ATT Captivate for initial testing. The Idea is to create a a good sequence that I can latter test against my P5210. With the intention to know if I can recreate the good sequence that I had record previously with WIn7+Odin.

It is not my intention to create my own Heimdall, but to have a good comparison to point the defect or suggested modification in Heimdall.

Be back when I get something useful.

pit file

hello,

sorry to bother you,
my question is, is this pit file specific to heimdall usage or is it a universal file usable in odin?
thank you for your time

m

afterthought, there i a point in the boot process where a flag android cos path taken
go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589370&page=2 post #18
the theory being if this can be modified/sticken/spoofed etc. then any kernel should load and boot through.

r2d23cpo · Aug 21, 2014

First my apologies to all. Personal issues had keet me out of this game. Still even when this tread did not got rolling I see that it did on:

"[SIGNUP] [DEVELOPMENT] signup sheet for AOSP build team", in the General area.

@moonbutt74

I can not deny to respond to you, my respect to your wonderful work in this forum. Thank for your time.

First be careful with what I say. I am no developer.

moonbutt74 said:

My best guest is that all Samsung PITs files are "universal". I have never seen a PIT file in this forum that was to be use only for Odin or Heimdall.!!! But I cab be mistaken.

Now the question is really: Is this a good PIT for P5210??? How I got it?
Well it is explained on response #3. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50234793&postcount=3

Code:
So I started looking for P5210 pit and since I could not found one I decided to try an old trick use in other SAMSUNG devices.

I use

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=481 skip=2176

And after testing the pit it seems correct. Looking inside (Reading the PIT file) it shows that its real name is "GT-P5210_EUR_XX_20130523.pit" so I rename it like that.

Just download Heimdall package files.tar.gz. In it you will see a folder P5200, the pit inside was downloaded from the web. But inside the folder P5210 you will see "GT-P5210_EUR_XX_20130523.pit" That is the file I created with

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=481 skip=2176

then renamed "out.pit" to read instead "GT-P5210_EUR_XX_20130523.pit"

You can look at the pit file using "PIT Magic v1.3.10 - Samsung PIT Creator, Editor, Analyzer!"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916936

Or you can use Heimdall PRINT function for the PIT.

Here is the report using the Analisys fubction on the pit

<<< Pit File End >>>
----------------------------------------------------------

So to all my buddies. This PIT File is NOT Official, I just used some tools previously discussed in XDA for other Samsung devices.

go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589370&page=2 post #18
the theory being if this can be modified/sticken/spoofed etc. then any kernel should load and boot through.

Wao, that will be nice. In fact this is the first step to run Ubuntu from boot on our device. There are a couple of friend that will like that.
I will try later to read at the link to try to inform myself.

What I have understood on this boot process is that Samsung has place some sort of Signature in the Boot/Kernel/firmware. If we try to mod or use anything different it fail the Signature Process forcing the boot process to fail. Something like that. Forgive me If I am wrong.

So I will expect that kitkat will test the boot partition for its signatures. And if the boot partitions are not as expected Kitkat fail!! At least that is how the Galaxy S*** guys has explained! Again, Forgive me If I am wrong.
