The "Re-partition operation failed" error typically occurs when using Odin to flash a new firmware or kernel on a Samsung device. This error message indicates that Odin was unable to successfully re-partition the device's internal memory, which is a critical step in the flashing process. As a result, the firmware update or modification process fails, leaving the device in a potentially unstable or unbrickable state.
. This ensures all partitions are correctly updated. You can find official firmware on sites like Hardware & Driver Troubleshooting Change USB Ports re-partition operation failed. odin
PIT files are often found inside the CSC firmware file (not HOME_CSC). You can extract it using a tool like 7-Zip. Load into Odin: Open Odin and go to the PIT tab (ignore the warning popup). Load your specific .pit file. You can extract it using a tool like 7-Zip

Initial diagnostics suggest the failure was precipitated by a "Bit-Rot" scenario in the underlying filesystem structures. While the re-partition command was syntactically correct, the drive's firmware reported bad sectors at the precise boundary where the new partition was to be written.
When “Re-Partition” is in Odin, the tool uses a .pit file to rewrite the device’s internal partition table (e.g., sizes/locations of /system , /cache , /userdata ). Odin automatically enables re-partition when flashing a 4-file firmware (BL, AP, CP, CSC) or a PIT file.
