2 Ways to Download and Extract Samsung PIT File

Partitions are an integral part of any Operating system including Android. The PIT (Partition Information Table) file is one of the core components of Samsung firmware. If you are looking for a PIT file to flash in Odin, you must be in a desperate situation. The easiest way to get the PIT is to extract the PIT file from Samsung firmware or your device using the Freya Tool. I say so because you may not find the correct Samsung PIT file for your Galaxy phone or Galaxy Tab from forums or firmware download websites.

Extract Samsung PIT File from Firmware

1. To download the firmware for your Samsung Galaxy smartphone or Galaxy Tab, you must have the model number and the CSC of your device. Go to Settings > About phone and you’ll find the model number.
2. To check your device’s CSC, go to Settings > About phone > Software information > Service provider SW ver.
3. Now that you have the CSC and model number, you can download the right firmware. Follow the instructions to download the official Samsung firmware.
4. Once the firmware download is finished, unzip it on your desktop and open the extracted folder.
5. Inside the folder, you’ll find 5 firmware binaries namely, AP, BL, CP, CSC, and HOME CSC.
6. All firmware binaries have .tar.md5 extension. It’s the CSC file that contains the PIT file for your Galaxy device and to extract the PIT, we’ll have to add a .ZIP extension to the CSC file. Windows does not let us see or edit file name extensions by default. To make that happen, click the View tab in the folder window and check the File name extensions option. If you’re a Windows 11 user, click on View > Show > File name extensions.
7. You should now be able to view and edit the file name extensions. Right-click the firmware binary that starts with CSC in its name, select the Rename option, and add .zip after .md5.
8. Having changed the extension, extract the ZIP file, and open it. You’ll have the PIT file for your Samsung Galaxy device.

If you follow the above PIT extraction method, you won’t have to download the Samsung PIT file from any 3rd-party website. Now, with the Re-partition option enabled, you only need to download the latest Samsung Odin and flash the PIT file along with the 4 firmware binaries.

Download PIT from Your Samsung Device

This is the easiest way to download the Samsung PIT file for your device. This method involves using the Freya Flash Tool for Samsung.

1. Download Freya and run the executable file.
2. Boot your Samsung device into the Download Mode.
3. Connect your Samsung Galaxy phone or Tab to your Windows PC.
4. Click the Read PIT button in Freya.
5. Your device will reboot to the normal mode automatically.
6. Freya will download the PIT from your Samsung device and save it to a newly created folder named “backup” on the desktop.
7. Open this folder and navigate to Samsung > PIT. You’ll find the PIT file for your device.

Download Samsung PIT Files

Below is a list of PIT files for old Samsung phones and tablets that you can download directly. Though I have shared the PIT files, I would still recommend you extract them from the firmware file itself for accuracy.

Now that you are familiar with the easy ways to get the PIT, go ahead and flash PIT with Odin confidently.

Analyze PIT with PIT Magic

If you have been using Samsung Android phones for a long time, you may already be familiar with PIT Magic. It is a pretty nifty tool that lets you create a PIT file for Samsung or edit the one you already have. Moreover, PIT Magic can also analyze a Samsung PIT file and get human-readable data of all partition entries. Moreover, the tool lets you export an existing PIT report to a text file.
