PIT file for GT-N5110 ¨[solved]

[civato]

I need the PIT file from a GT-N5110 PLEASE!! My partitions are messed up , did a little to much of flashing and testing.
Edit: solved
Solved , ha I saved my tablet the second time from a near hardbrick.

I need to stop my flash addiction . But it is so thrilling, Oh the tablet is dead :crying: , Ah it is back a live .....


More info , I tought I messed up partition as I got stuck in bootloop (again) and restoring EFS didn't solve the problem.

I noticed I marked "NAND erase all" in odin by accident and that was the reason why I got myself in this mess.
So never use that thing in Odin.

How I figured out what was wrong , well that was easy , I had stock recovery on my tablet as I installed a official samsung firmware.
So I started up recovery (stock) and it gave me some info , data partition could not be mounted.

I used the stock recovery to do a data/factory reset and it solved the problem.

Next thing I will do is get my PIT file , you need to do that from within linux but that is no problem got both running on my system. Just need to find out on how to extract it, google will help me...

I want to know everything about this tablet , and make sure it is unbrickable if you just got the right files.
So the PIT file is the next I want , that is what you need when you mess up partitions.

Hi civato, you can extract the pit using heimdall on windows as well.
On my device this corresponded exactly to the file I get directly from the device as root with

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=n5110.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=8192

I have never used the pit, the emergency has not happened yet for me, so I can't.recommend anyone to use this, but someone could compare to verify theirs is the same. Attaching the pit and text description of pit for n5110 ONLY obtained from heimdall:

Oh thanks , will give it a try , best that we start collecting these files as I see a lot of users of samsung devices at one point need it.
I had some strange stuff going one but was able to save the device every time.

This is my PIT file of my GT-N5110 , it is the same as yours but I took it with the latest Heimdall so I think that is why some names are different in the print out text.
If you look at the block sizes you see they are the exact same size as yours. So I'm guessing this is a good backup for the GT-N5110 16GB , now it is up to other users with other devices to do the same.

I have a 5100 and is also soft briked

Hi,

I have almost the same problem. i don't have the pit file, but I have a N5100 (the 3G model). My problem is that I can't get into reocvery either. I can get into download mode though. Do you think I can use this pit file on my N5100?

How do i run this in odin?

I use Odin 3.07... you have to unzip the pit file, and select PIT file and open your pit file you unzipped. Tick the repartition box and start the upload.

GT-N5100 PIT can't be flashed

Hi civato, you can extract the pit using heimdall on windows as well.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=n5110.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=8192

Hi, using heimdall with Arch-Linux.

Problem: PIT can't flash on GT-N5100.

Question:

Does it right, that the right using of dd is in this case:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=[B]NAME_OF_THE_PIT[/B].pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=8192

A few years ago i'd crashed a hard disk and with the help of robi (Linux-Club.de) i fixed it. (Look here: linux-club.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=118487

So i know, prinzipally i can get an image from the Tablet with dd.
But I'm not a freak.
And I think, maybe it's better to safe the image first, bevore repairing.
That was the way with the harddisk, so no dates has been lost.

I think, the synthax to get an image from the Tablet is like this:

dd if=dev/sdx of=/mnt/sdx/sicherung/image_Tablet.img

Right?
