Hey there, thanks for this post! I have invested so much time in trying to flash TWRP onto my Samsung Note 4 using my Macbook Pro and it has been a nightmare lol. I am stuck in trying to obtain a PIT file on my JOdin3 which is required to flash the TWRP file that I have uploaded to the PDA tab on JOdin3.
Full disclosure – I am not a programmer and thus quite the novice at all of this–So here is everything that I have downloaded for this entire process. The end goal is to spoof Pokemon Go on my Note 4 lol. I have downloaded that package which included the java, heimdall and JOdin3. I have also downloaded the proper .tar file from TWRP for my Note 4 N910V. The mac that I have is a brand new MacBook Pro 13-inch 2017.
I am able to open JOdin3, and surprisingly my device is being recognized but when I press the start button on JOdin3 I am being told that I need the PIT file in order to start. My understanding based on other videos is that Heimdall is supposed to generate the PIT file? I downloaded the “unofficial” Heimdall which seems to have downloaded and installed but I do not see a specific Heimdall window being opened upon installation so I am just assuming its built in with the JOdin3? Essentially I cannot flash the TWRP file on JOdin3 because I don’t have the PIT file, which may be due to not having the correct Heimball. I dont know, I am completely lost and defeated right now and would do anything for some personal assistance.
Hi Dan,
Thanks for a detailed question. Yes, you need to extract the PIT file of your device.
Follow these steps :
Install Android SDK on your computer and go to Settings> Developer options and enable USB Debugging on your device.
Launch a command prompt on your computer by placing the mouse pointer at an empty space on the desktop and then pressing Shift key. Choose the Open command window here option;
Connect your Samsung handset to the computer;
In the command window, enter the following command:’adb devices adb shell su’;
Then, grant root permission on your device;
Type the following command: ‘dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176’;
Your handset’s PIT is finally backed up to the internal storage of the device. Save it on your PC.
When you say “Launch a command prompt on your computer by placing the mouse pointer at an empty space on the desktop and then pressing Shift key. Choose the Open command window here option;” is this on my terminal app for my Mac? I am not using a PC. “Your handset’s PIT is finally backed up to the internal storage of the device. Save it on your PC.”
