I have a Samsung S7edge G935 that had boot problems and I have been trying to flash with the standard firmware from Sammobile and also Frija. I could not get either firmware’s to flash with Odin in windows as I kept getting Pit loading errors etc etc. As many know Odin for windows takes forever to report an error so in frustration I wiped the nand thinking that I could reinstall a nandroid backup off an identical phone I have. Clearly I was wrong. I have found on this forum the FWUL application which I have working and although I have not yet succeeded in flashing the firmware it does at least give the error messages in an instant. The firmware’s from Sammobile and Frija are correct for the phone UK BTU and I have unzipped the CSC files to obtain the PIT file which I must assume is the correct one for the rest of the firmware. I still get the same error in jodin ‘ pit file corrupted would you like us to get the correct file for you’ but there is no obvious way to accept the ‘offer’.

Hey guys, another rooting problem gone wrong
I've got the 'invalid ext4 image - volume size is too big' error which is preventing me from flashing firmware. Apparently I need to flash it with a PIT file simultaneously, but the few PIT files I've found online don't work with the firmware I've tried
Most of these PIT files don't even have the android version on them, let alone the full PDA/CSC
If anyone has a PIT file that matches something from sammobile or tsar3000 I'd be eternally grateful
I'm using a SM-G900F with UK 5.0 firmware at the moment
Ok so here's my issue
For a very long time since the G930U firmware was available to install, I've been using that. Well I decided to want to get my phone unlocked for GSM using those services but it needs Stock Firmware.
So I tried to restore to the latest G930P firmware and ODIN is giving a Volume size error for the system.img.ex4. I've tried now a couple different firmwares and no luck. Any idea?
The latest Firmware is PH7 I don't recommend it. PG1 on down are good to go. Extract zip stock firmware to a folder and add it in to Odin all the slots accordingly. BL AP CP CSC the last slot CSC is HOME_CSC not CSC_SPT and start flashing. It always works for me.
I ended up figuring it out. I had to find the stock G930P .PIT mapping's and re-partition because G930U ended up changing the sizes.
Oh good to know. Thank for sharing
Why do you not recommend PH7 update? I've heard it helps with battery life.
Could you share the pit file you used. I tried the same thing with a pit file i found online how ever since the pit i am able to flash bootloader but unable to flash system.ext4. Odin gives me a "failed (auth)" and neyjer the 930u version or the f2 or any of the other stock roms wont flash.... Help please
Don't you just love it when people "figure it out" and then don't share how? lol
Here... Since nobody gave you this. This may not be your problem.

I flashed latest arabian firmware today and odin gave me error while flashing hidden.img, then phone brick, I unbricked it flashing only ap file and phone boot, but why that error?
Use a newer version of Odin, like 3.12. Older versions cause this error because of a new file structure in the firmwares.

I used 3.12 no errors until now
G935F ODIN3 Hidden Fail
Used ODIN 3_11 to install the Sammobile BTU image (DLPT, v7.0 Jan 17). No problem.
Now a month or two later, I repeated to process to install the latest DQCG image (G935F EE image for UK, v7.0, March 17). I also downloaded the latest ODIN 3_12. It advised selecting the HOME_CSC image (in the download there was also a CSC image... without the HOME). The install failed due to a "HIDDEN.img" fail.
Various forums suggest opening the .md5 archive with Winrar to edit the Hidden.img. I ignored this and simply repeated the ODIN task, but this time selecting the slightly smaller CSC image. This worked perfectly.
I''m uncertain why there are two CSC images in the Sammobile archive?
As a side concern, when the initial install failed, I received a message saying use the PC Smart Switch app to run the emergency firmware recovery tool. I did try this but got nowhere the tool just blinked at me (possible driver missing?).

After you flashed the ee firmware have you got volte enabled?
Hi,
I cant seem to find anything related directly to the S8 and not sure if all mobiles are the same..
I had Android 8 on my S8 and needed to downgrade to 7 to try something, I did that but after it completed I had a messy settings menu where parts were duplicated or showing the wrong sub-heading.
I've read on the forums about this and it says re-flash with CSC and AP to fix.
When I try to re-flash it gets stuck on "Set Partition" in Odin.
I read to fix this you need to enable the "re-partition" option in Odin, I have tried this and it still does not work.
I have also tried full flash or AP, CSC, BL and CP and it's still getting stuck.
Tried on two different PC's (just in case) - same result on both.
The phone still boots and works, but it feels like something is wrong.
Can someone advise on how to completely re-flash the phone? The videos I've watched so far don't seem to run into this issue.
Any help would be awesome
Update: Using odin 3.13 gives this error: <ID:0/005> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1892)
I've tried it with SamFirm and Sammobile FW.
EDIT - Finally fixed it, flashed G950FXXU1AQDG to the handset, wiping and re-partitioning the phone, after setup an OTA update was pushed for 8.0.
In case anyone else has the same issue, I used Sammobile for the FW and Odin 3.12 to flash.
Hello guys,
My note 4 was having some reboot problems and when I try to boot in recovery mode I was getting error that it couldn't boot in normal mode.
I read somewhere that I should be doing a clean flash for the PIT file and the stock Rom, I started with the PIT file and it went perfectly with Odin.
But later when I tried flashing the ROM, it fails with the following errors:
- ODIN: flash read failure
- ERROR: There is no pit binary
I'm sure I have used the exact pit file for my model, I've tried flashing the Rom and the pit file at the same time but always the same error, now even retrying to flash the PIT file fails.
I'm wondering if there is any way I can fix this problem.
Thank you

I bet 100$ (which you'll pay) that nobody can find in your message the hidden sentence about the model of your note 4.
If, by the grace of the literate and smart people here, someone can 100% say that your phone is a 910F or similar model with a Snapdragon CPU, then...
Maybe your phone has a health problem plague called eMMC failure.
Or so it looks like.
You want my paypal account ? :silly:
Did you try newer versions of Odin?
And try also the PC app of Samsung - SmartSwitch - it can flash the original firmware based on the SN of your phone (located under the battery).
Read some more about these steps and try.
Tho, it looks like a dead emmc.

Sorry man, I forgot to mention my phone model, which is N910F.
The eMMC failure error only showed once on the recovery mode.
I've tried different versions of Odin, 3.13, 3.10 and 3.09, same error.
I also tried with SmartSwitch but for some reason they say that my model is not supported.

Interesting, I have an 910C (Exynos) and the SmartSwitch worked for me - I've had a soft brick too.
Oh, well... don't have too many hopes for the emmc issue. As far as it's known this means death.
Sorry for your loss.

This here is the forum for Note 4.
That has no OEM unlock option.
