[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] salilsurendran:
I was able to use Heimdall suite and download the PIT file. I then flashed the stock rom using Heimdall and repartitioned it using the PIT file. I then redownloaded the PIT file and nothing changed. I then tried flashing the 4.1.2 ROM using Heimdall. Downloaded the PIT file again. There was no change at all. Heimdall and Odin seem to be able to access my system and reports 100% success when it comes to flashing the *.img files but the PIT file reports no changes. When I use ADB devices or fastboot devices command they report no devices attached. Is there any software that can let me explore the phone in download mode. Note I am not able to get to recovery or a fastboot mode(if different from download mode). Here is the PIT file from my system as reported by Heimdall:

Heimdall v1.4.0
