What is a Samsung PIT File?
A Partition Information Table (PIT) file is a system file that tells the Odin flashing tool how to map, allocate, and assign partition sizes on your device’s internal flash memory (eMMC).
While standard firmware updates overwrite existing software partitions, a PIT file physically re-partitions the phone’s storage.
