Downloaded and installed OTA KitKat update on my note, phone was perfectly stock, not rooted. After installation the phone is stuck in a bootloop and displays "BOOTING RECOVERY..." but cannot boot to recovery, just restarts over and over.
Tried reflashing via ODIN the stock 4.4 update with stock recovery. Also tried flashing TWRP, Philz and the phone will never boot into recovery - it never gets past the Galaxy Note 3 logo screen.
It occurred to me that there could have been some problem with the PIT that occurred during the initial flash but I cannot flash any of the SM-N900T .pit files found floating around the forum either! The phone returns the SECURE CHECK FAILED: PIT error. Seems like the PIT may need to be a signed file in 4.4? Anyone have a signed PIT file?
Bring to tmobile show Em it won't boot. New phone in mail 2 days later. Just did it last week

Unfortunately I'm not in the US and I don't have t mobile so warranty replacement won't be so easy.

Did you have any luck acquiring a signed PIT file? Any help is appreciated.

None so far.
I'm not seeing any PIT files that will flash under the 4.4.2 bootloader.

Did you ever try using Odin 3.7? I for some reason can flash the PDA file but I have a different PIT file which obviously seems not to work... I think I just need the correct PIT file but am unsure where to get it for 4.4.2... This new update has been a nightmare..

Yeah, I tried odin 3.7, 3.9 and hemidall. Same results, secure check fail: Pit
Update: Looks like there are two versions of the 4.4BL, the latest of which checks for a signed PIT file. It won't work to flash any 4.4 pit from say, a few months ago. Need a PIT fie from someone who updated their phone in the last 2-3 weeks.
*** Nevermind, after a third Odin flash it worked.
Same thing happened to me, stuck on "BOOTING RECOVERY". Any resolution to this?
No solution that I've found. I've tried flashing multiple SM-N900T pit files found on XDA, all return the SECURE CHECK FAIL: PIT error. The phone will not boot into the stock recovery and returns the RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING error with custom recoveries. I've tried the latest versions of TWRP, CWM, etc with the same results.
As this update isn't really out in the wild recently I'd say that updating to 4.4 OTA is a pretty big risk at this point.
Every link I find is for a hotfile link and dead.
I need a UK (BTU) 16gb rom please. Stuck in bootloader. Odin recognises phone but Kies does not. I managed to install the DN4 rom ok but in TWRP, I did a factory reset and most of my partitions are 0 kb. Does not recognise my SD card. Nothing works.
So I want to flash stock pda and pit files via odin.
Any link to stock rom files that is not a zip as odin does not flash zip is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I have the latest full stock base for the Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 Wifi (SM-T900) and want to make a bootloader package that can be flashed in ODIN.
Inside of the full stock tar file is:
boot.img
recovery. img
system. img
cache.img
hidden.img
sboot.bin
Which is the bootloader, and what do I need to do to the file, if anything, so that it can be flashed individually in ODIN? Also, should there be a modem file? Alternatively, is it possible to create a zip of these things (bootloader, modem) that's flashable in TWRP?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not quite sure which one is bootloader. Sometimes you can't flash each one individual ly with odin(ex like creating an odin tar that just has system). Modem files are only on lte devices. Most times you don't need them for custom roms. Anyway, you can extract each IMG and create and tar the IMG up. There are a few commands and guides to tar something and add md5 to them.
As for a flash able zip yes and no. Bootloader can't be flashed in twrp most times since I have never seen anything like that. You usually have to flash bootloader with odin. Modems don't need to be flashed since twrp doesn't mess with it most times. But you can create an flash able zip of kernel, recovery and I'm unsure of system.img(may need to extract or adjust updater scipt. Though I dont fully know).
Usually the twrp flashable in ArchiKitchen so it can help with the updater scipt stuffs. Just don't add any options such as root and busybox to it. I've never seen a flashable bootloader in twrp so it's highly unlikely of it being possible.
Hope this helps!

Hi
The bootloader tar package for flashing in ODIN:
1) boot.img
2) sboot.bin
Use 'Total Commander' (google it) to make tar package (bootloader).
Any luck with the port?

I tried flashing a stock firmware downloaded from sammobile and the flash was successful. Auto re-boot was selected so the phone rebooted but it booted into download mode. I flashed the same firmware again and this time odin stays stuck at NAND write start. I googled the problem and found out that problem can be fixed by flashing a pit file. I can't find the pit file anywhere online. How do I solve the issue? Can anyone provide the pit file? Will flashing the pit file fix the problem?
Check which firmware you are flashing and confirm that it matches your phones firmware, then first try without PIT File but make sure Modem and CSC are select, else brick the phone completely and then install Stock ROM but make sure you select it according to your country

Hello all,
I've been trying to flash my Sprint Note 4 for 2 days now and came to the conclusion that I need to reinstall the PIT file. I tried using Odin to flash it to stock FW but it is saying There is no pit binary. I am unable to boot into recovery mode. I tried to extract the PIT file to no avail. If someone has a Sprint Note 4 and is able to exctract the PIT file and send a link it would be greatly appreciate and will return the favor somehow, someway.
Thank you,
Brad
