Help for Odin

[Marios1441]

I tried to flash a downloaded firmware using Odin for my Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 S7275R phone and i checked the 'Re-partition' box because i want it first to wipe all data but Odin writes an error and refuses to continue. What should i do?

Uh-oh.

Most tutorials for flashing will warn you strongly about not checking the re-partition box. In order for your phone to be properly partitioned you need the correct PIT (Partition Information Table) file. There is some excellent information on xda about it. [GUIDE] [INFO] The reality of PIT files - xda-developers .

Unfortunately, everything I've read so far is that repartitioning without a pit or the wrong pit will brick your phone. I really don't know if it's recoverable at this point.

Is it other app that will wipe data before installing firmware? Not from the Samsung recovery screen because thats what i m trying to avoid. The bad version of the built-in OS that has slowdowns so i will write a fresh downloaded version after the wipe without any files of the built in that its process is starting after the wipe that the phone boots and begins installing fresh OS automatically. I don't know if i wipe first from the recovery screen and then install a downloaded firmware is installing some files from the built-in OS rom before i succeed to hurry up and flash with Odin and so destructing the process once again.

When you install firmware you are essentially replacing the entire OS, so there wouldn't be any reason to wipe. Mind you, some custom roms will leave your /sdcard partition intact saving your media and images, but you have to check that on an individual basis.

Kies has the ability to repair a damaged phone provided it can recognize it. It will return it to stock, assuming you haven't done irreparable damage to the file system. What I'm saying is that I don't know if it's possible for you to fix this.
