[Odin] Pit re-partition takes no effect

Hi
I tried to re-partition my Samsung S3 mini with a custom pit file with Odin v3.07. This is Odin output, looks ok:

I'd like to remove the recovery partition and resize following system partition instead. The download menu on the device prints a red warning "Custom pit file", which I ignore.
After rebooting the device, I can't see any change, the recovery image still boots and the red flag in the download mode disappeared.
Why does it not work, I tried already different checkbox combinations on Odin.
Regards
Edit:
The problem was, that I tried to repartition the device without flashing the images. Instead of Odin, Heimdall throws an error.

G930A stuck in update bootloop

My G930A will no longer turn on. When I try to boot it into recovery, it shows the blue letters saying 'recovery booting' then, it shows a blue screen with the android logo that says 'installing system update'. It will switch between those screens over and over and sometimes boots into recovery but the screen is frozen so i cant do anything there. I am still able to boot into download mode though. the firmware version was G930AUCS8CRL1. I was able to flash the G930AUCS8CRJ2_ATT8CRJ2 firmware that is linked on xda, but it still has the same issues.
When I try to flash G930AUCU4CRE4_Oreo on Odin, it says:

As background, I had some success with rooting my device when it was in nougat, but I decided to revert to stock. I'm not sure if this is a residual effect of that...
This is what it says on the download screen:
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G930A

FRP LOCK: OFF

Any help is greatly appreciated

Replied in other thread as well, but I believe you need to use the key combo to access recovery.
After the screen with the blue letters that say "booting recovery" give it about 10 - 30 seconds and press and hold power while you tap (press and release) volume up, then release power. That will open your recovery menu.
Factory reset and should be good
Cheers and best of luck
Feel free to PM me if that doesn't work.

S7 edge, originally Verizon, flashed to Tmobile, now went to re-flash and I'm stuck.

I'm good to follow directions, I can't troubleshoot. Hopefully someone here can give me some direction. All info below. TIA!
Samsung S7 Edge.
Originally Verizon.
Used Odin to reflash TMobile
Worked fine for months.
Went to reflash to Verizon or unlocked.
(Perhaps it partially worked if that's possible as its listed as G935u now?)
Phone is stuck in loop.
I cannot turn the phone off using the power button.
Only battery drain will power it down.
Once charged and on, can only get out of the loop by entering power/home/ Vdown.
If I press Home: I get barcodes, check.
If I press Volume Down, Cancel
Black Screen:
Recovery Booting small blue letters...
"installing system update" blue screen, android man, two circling arrows.
Black screen flash, repeat.
or eventually/sporadically:
"no command"- blue screen tilted Android Guy with Exclamation mark in triangle
If I choose volume up: Continue

You need a more recent firmware file to flash.
This one will do the job: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117927499

Amazing. Thank you so much!
Curiosity- If I want to switch this back to Verizon per se, where can I find the updated firmware such as what you linked.
Probably a rookie move, but I've been sitting on Sammobile waiting a day and a half to download.

I think, the best way is to start here: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s7-update/
They have a special "updater" tool which can "recover" your device.

Same problem here, did you fix it?

Use the correct bootloader binary, the one you trying to flash is lower then currently installed on your phone.
Try flashing with the version 5 binary roms as displayed in your download mode.
