If Steps 1 & 2 fail, your partition table might be corrupted beyond a simple mismatch.
: If the internal physical storage chip degrades or suffers from bad blocks, it turns into a "read-only" chip that rejects layout changes entirely. Step-by-Step Solutions to Resolve the Error
If you can provide the (e.g., SM-S908U) and what you were attempting to do (e.g., root, downgrade), I can give you a more targeted solution. Share public link
: If re-partitioning is necessary, you must load the specific .pit file for your exact model and storage capacity into the PIT tab in Odin.
The firmware being flashed belongs to a different model number, carrier, or region.
: Ensure the smartphone maintains at least a 50% charge before initializing a flash. If the phone loses power during a re-partition cycle, the storage chip can suffer a fatal hardware brick.
Use the latest version (e.g., Odin v3.14.4 or newer ) to ensure compatibility with modern Samsung partition structures like super.img .

The "re-partition operation failed" error in Odin is intimidating, but in most cases, it is caused by a simple misconfiguration: forgetting to uncheck the Re-Partition box. Before assuming your phone is hard-bricked, work through the 12 fixes above. Start with unchecking Re-Partition, then move to cable and firmware verification.
The "Re-partition" option in Odin instructs the software to restructure the device’s internal storage layout (NAND) using a PIT (Partition Information Table) file. If this fails, it means Odin cannot write the new partition structure to your device's memory. Common causes include:
