[Q] Odin problem

Good Morning all. An about a week or 2 ago I was asking about a knox and all of the things related of it. Finally I decided to root my mobile (i9505), but unfortunately whenn i connected it and tried flash a recovery with Odin I got this message
Code:

<ID:0/005> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I know that my partition table is corrupted, but i don't know why. I never before connect my mobile
1) Is it possible to brick my device when i flash a PIT file? I got one from this thread

2) What might to corrupt my Part table? I updated my rom via OTA.

[Q] NC4 Eclipse Flash

Hi there,
I really need a quick few minutes of help. I began the night last night by trying to upgrade safestrap from 3.72 to 3.75, for what I later learned to be for no good reason. Anyway, I ended up wiping my entire internal storage including the root files, which forced me to odin back to MJE from NC2. So then I installed MJE and let the system upgrade to NC4. Then I proceeded to root and safestrap my system with success (including installing busybox). I then rebooted into recovery and flashed the Eclipse rom (I've tried stock and Rom-Slot1) and then rebooted into download mode and Odin'ed the NC2 kernel, which results in a fail every time. The odin log says it falis after aboot.mbn every time.
Please consider helping me!
Thanks!
P.s. This is the odin fail log.

[Q] weird bootloop

I flashed the recovery for SM 9005 (new kernel) with Odin 3,09 (Chose AP, this = PDA, right?). While flashing it started bootlooping, and for just a few seconds it showed the lockscreen then bootlooped again.
I have root and recovery, but everytime i start the phone it bootloops a couple of times before it fully starts the phone. Basically the phone works just fine, it just struggles to boot.
EDIT: Crap, I tried to install Xposed Framework, but KNOX seemed to block it, rebooted, now its just bootlooping, somtimes it briefly shows the logon screen, but never fully boots.
EDIT 2: Flashed a remove Xposed.zip, it stil bootloops (A LOT) ,but eventually it starts up properly?
EDIT 3: Tried to wipe cache and dalvik, no luck. Tried to reflash recovery, both including the regular kernel, and the old kernel, no luck.

As you can see I got suceed 1/failed 1, any tips? Would a data wipe fix the bootlooping?

[Q] CF Auto-Root Failures

I am trying to use CF Auto-Root for my GS-4 i9500. I power up my phone in "download mode" but as soon as i do it already says 'Downloading... Do not turn on target!!'. I waited for a while (watched a tv show so probably 40-45 min) and nothing changed. The upper left says; Odin mode, ..., Write Protection: Enabled, eMMC BURST MODE enabled. I turn it off and back on in download mode (still says 'Downloading...'), load up the binary, connect the phone to my comp (odin says 'Added!!' and recognizes the COM port it is connected to), and click start. About half the time i get:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I have tried 4 different USB ports and 3 different cables. I can simply click restart in odin and try again when i get this error
The other half i get:

in the upper left on my phone I get, in red; start [224, 1440], secure magicode check fail : recovery. This requires me to reboot the phone for another attempt. I have clicked the PIT button in odin and there are no files there.
I have found some similar threads for the first failure but they all seem to require re-partitioning and re-make (?) the PIT file which is apparently "extremely risky". As for the second failure, I found several threads with a similar failure but they were regarding going back to stock and seemed to be caused by a bad recovery image?? On the up side my phone will still boot into factory software just fine, but I would really like to figure out what I'm f-ing up.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help

If I were you, I would look for a custom recovery and flash this. I use Philz Touch Recovery, you can root it from it and it works perfect.
Links here: http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16644#files
flash it in Odin using AP.

Bootloop and can't enter recovery or flash stock rom with odin

Can someone please help me out
This morning i was running AlexisRom on my Galaxy s8 (SM-G950FD) which is an s9 port for s8 but the headphone jack wasn't working on the rom so i downloaded a stock rom from Sammobile and tried to flash it through odin, and after i put in the BL, AP, CP and CSC file and pressed start, it gives me a fail and says :

And on my phone in the download mode, it comes up in red writing:
[CM] SW Rev. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE 3. BINARY 2
Also, i cannot get into recovery at all by pressing Bixby + Vol up + Power, it just bootloops
If i try install TWRP, my phone boots and shows the Samsung screen and says in pink writing on the top:
RECOVERY image signature check fail!!!!
Reboot to avoid warranty bit set!!
And i am 100% sure that the phone works as i had it working yesterday perfectly fine.
The roms i have installed before this one:
Stock S8 Rom
AMBASADII ROM FOR S8/S8+
Alexisrom s9 port for s8
Someone please help me out, if you need more details please ask!
THANKS <3

For anyone who has the same problem as me, here is a fix i found after almost giving up,
Go to Sammobile.com or Shell.BoxWares.com and download the latest firmware for your phone model, even if it isn't your country, still download and flash it, i live in ireland, so i should have 3IE Firmware but i downloaded the Indonesian firmware and it flashed without a single hassle

Its due to bootloader issue

You are trying to flash a old bootloader on top of new bootloader version, downgrading is not allowed AFAIK

There is a simple reason for this. If you came from TWRP as "reboot to download", this creates the problem. Turn off the phone. Go to download mode with Vol_Down+Bixby+Power and then press Vol_Up button. When I enter download mode like this, it flashes without any problems.
