As i have made for n8000 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41158546#post41158546
Here you can find My PIT file (N9005 - root de la vega - firmware XXUBMJ1- so not bootloader blocked) View attachment My-N9005.zip
for repair bricked phone

Pit file with blocked bootloader are different? this is a question...

You can save your pit file by yourself with this batch View attachment N9005_SaveMyPitFile.zip
But work only if your phone is rooted and with the option USB Development active in your N9005

The start address of block mmclbk0 is the same of N8000 but the pit file is more big
This is the command in adb dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/My-N9005.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=4244

You can post your PIT file here if are different with the version of your firmware
For different model of Note 3 you can save your pit file and post here or send me to test if is completed and ok
I hope this will be usefull
Regards!

Both Pit file are good (My-N9005.zip and My.N9005.rar). The PIT Magic can control them and we see the contents.
From this THREAD I attach the PIT_Magic.exe to work on WindowsPc. Thanks @lyriquidperfection Dev. from PIT Magic.

Attached also the analyze from My-Note5rar.pit and My-Note5zip.pit, renamed by me.
(Identifier is partition number on PIT File Analysis).

Whit Terminal Emulator the command dd work also on phone.

Thanks @ghibli3 . Here the PIT File from my Note 3 N9005 stock rom MJ7.
Thanks to all!
At first look in 3 pit files there are differences only about two fields: hidden.img.ext4 and userdata.img.ext4; in these 2 field differences also about a value that is not explained in Pit Magic (real address memory of phone?)
But more evident is the last block of 64 bytes of the pit file that is always different

THIS first Leaked Rom MH1 had also a Pit File. Attached, may be You want to compare.

Like we read HERE, the last block bytes must be always different, I quote:

My theory is the signature is to verify the pit file is a genuine samsung pit file so the worst that could happen is odin or the device will reject the pit file if it isnt signed.

Good theory but why so many bytes for a signed?

I have compared with this View attachment CSB_signed_HLTE_EUR_OPEN_32G_0805.zip and same differences
