[MENTION=3682533]AdamOutler[/MENTION] for the VZW Galaxy S4 I analyzed the PIT file produced by Heimdall and it reports the last four partitions as "remained" so I decided to manually extract my PIT file using

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/sch1545.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176

which is specific to MSM8690 S4's and the PIT analysis now shows the "remained" partitions actual values and you can see the PIT I extracted is factory signed, because I compare the md5 to the PIT from a factory Odin tar here so is this problem unique to just the S4 or is it a Heimdall problem? I assumed Heimdall just extracted the padded PIT file but even so it should still show the information for the last 4 partitions.
