N920I Flash N920G Nougat Problem

I noticed a couple people had success flashing N920G INS Nougat firmware onto the N920I.
I'm having an issue where Odin goes dead after "Setup Connection" or "NAND Write Start". After that happens I'll only ever get to "Setup Connection" unless I force the phone off and back into Download Mode again.
I've done all the usual, different computers, ports, cables, Odin revisions, etc. I've never had this issue before. Before attempting to install Nougat I did a factory reset. I've also tried installing N920G INS Marshmallow and I had the same issues. USB Debugging and OEM Lock is off. When I got the phone it had Optus XSA (Australia) firmware on it and I flashed (with Odin) stock XSA firmware onto it fine.
Any ideas on what I could try? I have a blank N920I now so open to anything. It couldn't be a bad NAND could it? (I have no other bad NAND symptoms, phone seems fine).
try 4 files firmware nougat for N920I
can you help a bit more wiht the 4 files firmware? link? instructions?
now I am stuck in bootloader mode
I kind of fixed it by using the latest Odin (3.11.1).
Now I just get FAIL! at system.img. Does this mean I need the SM-N920G PIT for Nougat?
I soft-bricked and had to re-flash XSA MM for the SM-N920I.
nvhung SM-N920I Nougat isn't available yet. Any other ideas on how to get INS Nougat on the N920I?
It seems everyone who tries is getting stuck at system.img unless they were already on INS MM on their N920I.
Thanks!
Have you tried flashing 920g mm first?

I'm having a similar issue. I've tried flashing the N920G 6.0.1 and 7.0 from stock 6.0.1 N920I, and get stuck with the following error:
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> FAIL!
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
6.0.1 was flashed using the 4 file method, 7.0 using 1 AP file. Tried using Odin 3.10.7, 3.11.1 and 3.12.3.
I think someone needs to post the 4 file link so everyone can move forward

I tried AP for 6.0.1 MM INS (N920G) on my N920I with the same system.img fail. Where can I get the 4 file INS 6.0.1 N920G?
Ok I found the four files to convert 920i to 920g Marshmallow.

Maybe you guys need to do this step first then update to nougat???
I'll let you know how it goes in 20 minutes.
Thanks for files!
Fail on system.img. Phone error: sw rev check fail device 3 binary 2
Have to wait until official N920I Nougat.
So I've managed to get my phone model to say N920G in download mode, but it is now failing on system.img. This happens on both 6.0.1 and 7.0 INS

Did you uncheck repartition?
You definitely need to convert with the 4 files first.....they had the exact same problem when MM was released if you read through that thread in the link I posted, everyone was failing on system.img also back then.
I would start with converting MM first.

I'm downloading the latest 6.0.1 INS and will convert when it's done. Will update when finished.
Here are the four files from another thread...to convert to 920g MM first.

Tried that one, didn't work, downloading the latest 6.0.1 version and trying with that.

re-partition was never checked. I don't have PIT file. I tried 4 files though. fails.
I wonder if there's something in the last couple of security updates causing this

Flash N960U over N960U1

I have a Verizon unlocked SM-N960U. I flashed a U1 firmware after 1st flashing a unlocked firmware. Now i want to know if i can go back to U version?
I tried to do it & it always errors out with "FAIL" It stays on "SetupConnection".. for a while and then <ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed
Any idea how i can get back to stock VZW firmware?
Attaching the software version info
Try to look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572/amp/
As long as bootloader matches yes you can flash U again. Usually when going between U and U1 you need to factory wipe device. In my case I had to. I know when flashing csc it wipes device, but the Odin flash still failed. But after I did a factory wipe it passed without issue.

S20 FE 5G Flashing via Odin. Where is PIT File?

Hi XDA Forum,
I am attempting to Flash an S20 FE 5G using Odin and Stock ROM. I am trying to do a completely fresh install with Nand Erase and Re-Partition like I have done on Previous Samsung Phones before but there is no PIT File inside the CSC or HOME_CSC Tar Files to do this. All I can see are prism_base.map, prism.map, optics_base.map and optics.map inside the CSC file and there is no .pit extension file. How would I go about doing this?

"Re-Partition operation failed." in Odin + "Secure Check Fail : (PIT)" in Download Mode

The goal: To have unrooted SM-N960F/DS stock ROM on my current Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960N.
Some background information about my phone and how I got here:
1. The phone was SM-N960F/DS and rooted when I acquired it. No idea what the original firmware on the phone was - any way I can find out?
2. To unroot, I decided to simply flash another firmware on it. By oversight I flashed SM-N960N.
3. After flashing, realized I now have single SIM, so now I wanna flash SM-N960F to get back dual sim.
4. In Odin, I have tried to flash 13 different SM-N960F firmware onto the SM-N960N, but to no avail. I keep getting the error "Re-partition operation failed." in Odin combined with error "Secure Check Fail : (PIT)" in the device's download mode.
5. I successfully flashed the custom ROM "Superstable ROM". However, I am not able to live with the limitations of a custom ROM.
6. Flashed the same N960N firmware again without any problems. But I cannot live without my dual SIM capability.
7. Now attempting to flash N960F firmware but can't get past the same "Re-partition operation failed." error.
8. I have tried the flashing with "re-partition" enabled + appropriate PIT file ==> "Re-partition operation failed."
9. I have tried the flashing with NAND erase + "re-partition" enabled + appropriate PIT file ==> "Re-partition operation failed."
Please help, I admit hitting the state of desperation!
Search your phone's forum for a modified stock ROM that can be installed via TWRP.

Thank you for your reply. Does that mean that, for my case, flashing official firmware is out of the question?
You wrote "I successfully flashed the custom ROM" so what does that matter? After all, you wanted to check if the dual SIM works, and not if the ROM is original.

you can try flashing modem and bootloader through TWRP with a zip, and then try to use odin again with official ROM
you can find them here
GitHub - corsicanu/9810-bootloaders_and_modems
Contribute to corsicanu/9810-bootloaders_and_modems development by creating an account on GitHub.

dual sim and single sim use the same bootloader and modem, the only change that they have in software is in the efs partition, that you must not mess with.
And backup your efs partition in TWRP if you haven't yet

Thank you very much for your reply. I would have very much liked to give this a try, however, after a lot of frustration, I simply contracted someone who flashed a customized firmware for me.
