[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] r2d23cpo:
First my apologies to all. Personal issues had keet me out of this game. Still even when this tread did not got rolling I see that it did on:

"[SIGNUP] [DEVELOPMENT] signup sheet for AOSP build team", in the General area.

[MENTION=5864662]moonbutt74[/MENTION]

I can not deny to respond to you, my respect to your wonderful work in this forum. Thank for your time.

First be careful with what I say. I am no developer.

My best guest is that all Samsung PITs files are "universal". I have never seen a PIT file in this forum that was to be use only for Odin or Heimdall.!!! But I cab be mistaken.

Now the question is really: Is this a good PIT for P5210??? How I got it?

Well it is explained on response #3. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50234793&postcount=3

Just download Heimdall package files.tar.gz. In it you will see a folder P5200, the pit inside was downloaded from the web. But inside the folder P5210 you will see "GT-P5210_EUR_XX_20130523.pit" That is the file I created with

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=481 skip=2176

then renamed "out.pit" to read instead "GT-P5210_EUR_XX_20130523.pit"

You can look at the pit file using "PIT Magic v1.3.10 - Samsung PIT Creator, Editor, Analyzer!"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916936

Or you can use Heimdall PRINT function for the PIT.

Here is the report using the Analisys fubction on the pit

<<< Pit File End >>>
----------------------------------------------------------

So to all my buddies. This PIT File is NOT Official, I just used some tools previously discussed in XDA for other Samsung devices.

Wao, that will be nice. In fact this is the first step to run Ubuntu from boot on our device. There are a couple of friend that will like that.

I will try later to read at the link to try to inform myself.

What I have understood on this boot process is that Samsung has place some sort of Signature in the Boot/Kernel/firmware. If we try to mod or use anything different it fail the Signature Process forcing the boot process to fail. Something like that. Forgive me If I am wrong.

So I will expect that kitkat will test the boot partition for its signatures. And if the boot partitions are not as expected Kitkat fail!! At least that is how the Galaxy S*** guys has explained! Again, Forgive me If I am wrong.
