WEIRD Brick? problem - cannot understand it - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so I was running TWRP 2.8.5.0-trltedt and CM12 with its own kernel. N910G.
If I go to TWRP and install a custom Sh1twiz ROM via ZIP + nadia kernel it's fine and it works.
If I go to TWRP and wipe System, Dalvik and Internal Storage and then go into Download Mode and use Odin 3.10 to install an official ROM (N910GDTU1ANK3_N910GOLB1ANK3_N910GDTU1ANK3_HOME.tar.md5) from Sammobile then I get a:
<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/004> modem.bin
<ID:0/004> cache.img.ext4
<ID:0/004> hidden.img.ext4
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Ext4)
The phone screen says:
Volume size is too big 92160 < 204800
ODIN: Invalid ext4 image
At this point if I restart the phone and try to enter TWRP (recovery) it doesn't work anymore, it goes into another screen that says:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" etc.
If I go again into download mode and flash TWRP with Odin the flashing works.
Then, if I try to enter recovery it says something... I cant read it cause it happens too fast, but it's something related to "formatting", "cache", "wipe".
Then the phone restarts by itself and the phone seems to work.
However, if I go again in download mode and try to flash the original firmware with Odin, I get the same FAIL! (Ext4)... so this means the core problem was not fixed by TWRP.
I heard I may need to flash a PIT file with re-partition clicked?
But where do I find the right PIT file for N910G?

The thing is that even if the phone seems to work I am afraid that later I might find out that it doesnt work properly... after spending hours installing everything on it...

i9505 with leakedI9505XXUFNAD_I9505OXXFNA2_I9505XXUFNAD_OXX fails to install.

I had installed the first leaked KitKat 4.4.2 on my rooted i9505 and it worked well. However when I tried to install the latest KitKat 4.4.2 I9505XXUFNAD_I9505OXXFNA2_I9505XXUFNAD_OXX firmware with odin, it fails. It can only boot up in download mode and in the recovery mode just shows the black screen of death. Is there any way to recover my i9505?
Here are the results I get with odin v3.09

I've tried all the usb ports but the problem is still the same.
I've solved the problem. I was trying to flash in vmware on my macbook pro. I installed Boot Camp and then it flashed correctly.

make sure you follow all the steps, remember you have to unzip the file you downloaded then you will be able to flash it via Odin, remember to click on PDA, and Re Partition have to be disabled, only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time should be checked, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:
make sure reactivation lock is uncheck at security settings...

Help got stuck on download mode and i think lcd is broken,

Tried to flash latest gtaxlwifi for my 8.1 Oreo Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-T580,
after Odin finished, i encountered a problem. The device didn't respond to the power button, so i can go to the recovery for the first time.
After many tries, i managed to get it back to download mode. After that, i tried to go the recovery and my screen showed some red bars, like the lcd is all messed up.
Putting it back to download mode, the screen works fine.
What should i do, please help me.
The LCD isn't bad if download screen is good. May have some how flashed wrong firmware

Well restore your stock firmware properly per your model and location and it should be good you probably flashed the wrong one or something for your current firmware

It does the same thing to me running android 7 Galaxy Tab A6 10.1 SM-T580. I tried installing different versions of twrp with different versions of odin. Does the same thing to me. some red lines, blue lines. Although if you shut down & then boot, it works normally.. but i guess no root for us!!

thats the bootloader telling you your flashing older firmware than whats on the device hence trying to downgrade which isnt possible obviously with that error download a newer firmware with a bit 4 because your device is bit 4 nd your flashing bit 3
Managed to flash an older twrp. Tablet saved.
But when i tried to install a wifi version (that's the correct for me), it said error 7 u have the LTE version (not true) and you try to install a wifi version.
A tweak with Notepad++ did the job.
oXydead - I have the same issue - which old verison of TWRP worked for you?
Not to worry - found your comments in "[Recovery][T580] Official TWRP for Galaxy Tab A 10.1 WiFi 2016 (gtaxlwifi) by jcadduono"
Thanks
you can fix it:

for Oreo (8.1) use the last Odin 3.13.1
