3. Root Causes & Technical Explanation

| Cause Category | Specific Reason | Technical Detail | |----------------|----------------|------------------| | Firmware mismatch | Flashing a firmware for a different device model/carrier | PIT signature/hash doesn’t match the bootloader’s expected layout | | Corrupt or missing PIT | No valid PIT embedded in the firmware file (especially in single-file .tar.md5) | Odin cannot generate new partition boundaries | | NAND damage | Bad blocks in the eMMC partition table region | Device rejects write to partition sector | | Bootloader version lock | Newer bootloader prevents downgrading partition table | Anti-rollback fuse (e.g., Samsung’s RP SWREV) rejects older PIT | | CSC vs HOME_CSC misuse | Using a CSC that resizes partitions on already modified partition table | Causes inconsistency between expected and actual super partition |
