This error is often accompanied by the XDA Forums warning that it may indicate a deeper problem with the flash storage IC or a disconnection between the CPU and flash IC. However, in 90% of cases, it is a software issue. Common Causes for the Error
In plain English:
The most common cause of this error is simply using the wrong firmware. Double-check your device's model number in Download Mode (it will be displayed at the top of the screen). Your firmware must match this model number exactly. For example, flashing SM-G996B firmware on an SM-G996U device will fail because they use completely different processors and partition schemes.
The "Re-Partition operation failed" error is a serious but often solvable problem. For most, the cause is a simple configuration error. For others dealing with a truly corrupted device, it signals the need for a deeper-level repair. By following this guide's logical progression—from unchecking a simple box to using a correct PIT file—you have a high chance of restoring your Samsung Galaxy device to full working order.
Enabling "Re-Partition" in the Odin settings when not intended, or conversely, not having it checked when required by a specific firmware package.
The is a critical flashing failure that occurs when the software cannot properly allocate or restructure the internal storage partitions of a Samsung device.
Work through these troubleshooting steps sequentially, starting with the simplest hardware checks and moving up to advanced firmware flashing. Step 1: Optimize Your Hardware Connection
