[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalpak2021:
Some Progress

Some progress guys. Here's a report.

I have been trying for over three hours to get the .pit extracted from the tab and after three tiresome hours (and a little backache), i have successfully extracted the .pit from the tab. So here it goes, first i tried to run the heimdall 1.3.1 on a windows 8 machine, wasted around half an hour and then figured there's something wrong with this version. The next thing i did was looked for a build of 1.4RC1 for windows, could not find. So i downloaded Ubuntu 12.10, ran it in virtualbox. Now, another daunting task was to get rid of unity 3d and install Gnome 3 cuz Unity was sluggish as ****.. Next thing, i download a prebuild version which refuses to work so i build my own heimdall from this link and voila, it worked. Phew!

Now, enough of stories. Here is the print-pit output.

Heimdall v1.4 RC2
