Bricked after root attempt

[Slingbox]

I'm not touching root until stock kernel hits the shelves.

What exactly is the .pit file and why would we need to use it as the .tar file is all that was needed for now.

The .pit file is kinda like a list of all the partitions on the phone. It's not needed with the tars we're flashing. Having the wrong .pit file in place can damage your phone in much the same way as incorrectly re-partitioning your hard drive. It's recoverable, but only with the right tools.

So when we get the official files from Samsung it will need the pit file? Also will flash he radio an everything else back to stock no matter what we have on he phone. Sorry, have used HTC devices in the past. Would like to be able to go back to fully stock and make a backup which I never had chance to do.

I did something like this with my Nexus (don't have your phone, just reading), but Sprint couldn't/wouldn't do anything after I unlocked it. I mistakenly used GSM rather than CDMA root files (too new with not enough info out there). Very upet.

I had to call Samsung and they had a program that I downloaded that completely reset the phone to factory, it was called Samsung SimpleDL for SPH-D720. They had one for each phone.

I downloaded, ran this. It was nerve racking not knowing what to do, I was on 2nd day of release, but it completely wiped what I had done and put it back to factory. It takes a while, looks like nothing was happening, but got me back when nothing else did. I have also used that on one of my Epics.

So look there, it might help you. It is completely different than Odin and files. Good luck.
