Can't flash custom pit files - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't flash any fit file except official one for my device.
Any other pit file(my custom pit file or one of other device) will cause a "Secure Check Failed (PIT)" error.
Is that mean my device can only use official pit file? I can't change it?
For example, my phone is G9200 in China.
I can only flash ZEROFLTE_CHN_OPEN (G9200).pit which is for China.
I want to flash ZEROFLTE_CHN_HK.pit which is for HongKong, and is also for G9200, but I failed.
Anybody can help? Thanks very much!

The PIT file need to be signed, and it needs matches the version number of bootloader.
So, you can't flash it.

SM-P905 32GB Pit File
I accidentally check re-format in Odin when updating my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 LTE to Lollipop, so I really need a pit file. I cannot boot into recovery mode to try the fix suggested here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2767414. Kies fails when trying Firmware Upgrade and Initialization and the Recovery Code box is empty so I can't try Firmware Emergency Recovery. I have searched the internet for a pit file and I can't find one anywhere, anything that looked promising had dead links. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am going to try this one now. Have the same problem. Will update

Nand Write Start Fail.

Can i use the option nand erase all in odin? If not someone please provide me with a pit file for my S6 SM-G920W8. I cannot flash boot loaders and anything else besides twrp.
You need to have same or newer bootloader version for your phone. Thats all.

Galaxy S6 Flat SM-G920W8 Flashing Error. Nand Write Start, FAIL! I dont know what top do,
My question is if i can flash G920F's Modem and Bootloader on my G920W8?
And why does it not say nand write start fail when i am flashing twrp?
why are you trying to flash a g920f to g920w8???
You should use the same firmware for your phone to prevent issues.
Rrgarding with your last 2 posts, it is contradicting, you mentioned you cannot flash anything besides twrp, but you followed it that you failed in flashing twrp.
If you encountered with flashing firmware, I suggest to use a G920W8 firmware that is latest. I assume you are using an old firmware. Tell us your current and your firmware you are flashing.
Where did you get the twrp version? Are you sure it is not corrupt? A valid ODIN file? .md5 or .tar?
You need to give us more details in your issues.

SM-G920F firmware flash fail in odin - ANY SUCCESSFUL FLASHES?

Ok guys, Could be a simple answer. I currently have an S6 and it is unlocked and currently on German Vodafone. I have attempted to revert it to BTU firmware as I'm in the UK. I followed all the available guides to achieve this via odin but it failed almost immediately. It failed at Hidden.img I think? Anyway the phone then failed to start up and took me straight to an error screen telling me to connect it to smart switch. I then found out how to fix it and managed it so phone up and running again. Is it possible to flash the BTU firmware in the first place?
Thanks
Come on guys, surely there must have been someone out there with the same problem as me and has managed to overcome it?
The answer is:
extract the Firmware with winrar and extract the hidden.img separat to your Desktop. rename it to hidden.img.tar and Flash that again (AP), after that your phone should reboot. if not, go into recovery make a reset. Here is a link in german:
https://www.androidpit.de/forum/670145/samsung-galaxy-s6-s6-update-problem-hidden-img-fail
That's how I solved the problem with the phone going into error. I need to know if it is possible to flash the firmware BTU to my phone?

It's 100% possible but check first if the rar file is not corrupted.
I had problem with corrupted files failed in odin.
Ok, I completed yet another download of the firmware for BTU but once again the flash failed. I had to carry out flash with hidden.img.tar in order to restore phone. I don't understand why this is happening? Any ideas?

SOLVED: How to flash baseband/modem (modem.img) with Odin?

Before I get to my question, a quick background, which might help with explaining my question. So recently I switched to another cellular carrier on my unlocked S6 Edge (G925F) and now I would like to flash the baseband from the firmware corresponding to my new carrier in order to get better/proper connectivity. I downloaded and flashed the new carrier's firmware .tar.md5 using Odin, however, in the process of flashing, Odin threw a FAIL message when flashing the hidden.img file. So I had to manually extract and flash that file again, and it worked.
Anyway, it seems like, because of the aforementioned Odin FAIL message, the flashing process did not include the new modem.img file. So now I would like to manually flash that in order to get better service on my new carrier. So how do I do that? I tried flashing just the modem.img file with Odin by selecting it in the "CP" field, however, the flashing process gets stuck on "File analysis..." and nothing gets flashed. Am I doing something wrong? Can I flash that baseband some other way?
UPDATE, SOLVED:
I figured out the solution. I had to manually create a new .tar archive (with 7zip) containing just the modem.bin file. When I tried to flash that with Odin (by adding it under the "CP" field), it successfully went through.

May I please ask you, how did you get a firmware with a modem binary inside it? So far I've downloaded two different firmwares for this device, latest baseband versions, and none of them ships a modem.bin or anything similar. I'm totally puzzled.

Galaxy Note 10 Lite stuck in Download mode and I cannot flash anything.

Hi y'all
So basically I've followed the https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html tutorial to the T . However, my phone has booted into download mode instead of, well, rooted android with the error ODIN MODE(AVB FAIL) Error verifying vbmeta: Hash Mismatch (3).

How can I at least bring it into a flashable state?

You should still be able to flash an unmodified full stock firmware or a stock combination firmware to possibly repair any damage then flash the full stock firmware. Try using the "repartition" setting in Odin when you flash the stock firmware, it may or may not also require flashing the firmware along with the PIT file for your specific model number. Your PIT file may be available for download or you may be able to extract it from the firmware files.
