If the phone cannot be forced into Download Mode (it loops on a Samsung logo or stays black), it is considered a "Hard Brick." Unlike a soft brick, this cannot be fixed at home with Odin. It requires a or EDL service (hardware repair tools) to rewrite the partitions manually.
It appears the diagnostic pre-flight checks did not adequately scan the physical health of the target sectors before attempting the metadata rewrite. When the utility attempted to force the write, it created a logical paradox: the partition table claimed the space existed, but the drive controller refused to acknowledge it. This corrupted the Master Boot Record (MBR) and the GPT backup header simultaneously.
In most cases, you do not need to re-partition a device to flash standard firmware. Open Odin and go to the Re-partition re-partition operation failed. odin

Attempting to downgrade Android versions or using firmware with an older bootloader security level (Binary version) than what is currently on the device.
If you must re-partition (e.g., your partition table is corrupted), you need a file specific to your model. When the utility attempted to force the write,
The "Re-Partition operation failed" error is a formidable challenge, but it is rarely the end of the road. By understanding the critical role of the PIT file, you take the first step toward solving the problem. While it requires patience and attention to detail, methodically working through the steps in this guide gives you a very high chance of bringing your Samsung device back to life.
