In this guide, we will show you the steps to extract the PIT file from any Samsung firmware, flash it onto your device, and then unbrick it. Every major OEM has a slightly different approach when it comes to providing the stock firmware for their devices. For example, Google packs it inside the ZIP package. As a result, you just need to extract via WinZIP or WinRAR and you could get hold of the associated files.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, OnePlus has all its partition files loaded inside the payload.bin file<\/a>. To extract this BIN file and get hold of its files, you will need a standalone tool. Furthermore, Oppo and Realme have their firmware inside the OZIP package<\/a>. This again requires a separate tool for extraction.\u00a0But you might ask why do we need to extract the firmware package?<\/p>\n

Well, it is mostly needed for two purposes, to root your device by patching the stock boot.img via Magisk and flashing it via Fastboot Commands<\/a>. The other use of this is to unbrick your device, which is done by using partition files. Upon extracting the stock firmware, you will get these files belonging to different partitions of your device. These include the likes of system.img, recovery.img, vbmeta.img, boot.img among others.<\/p>\n

We could then flash all these files individually via fastboot commands<\/a> to their respective partitions and your device will be up and running. But when it comes to Samsung, everything goes out for a spin. This is because the South Korean giants treat the entire firmware process quite differently. But what is the issue and why is it leading to a few confusions? Let’s check it out! After this, we will list out the steps to extract the PIT file from the Samsung firmware, flash it and then unbrick your device.<\/p>\n
