G920F hidden.img failed. Any suggestions?

[Line of life]

I have G920F. When ever i attempt to flash it, i get the following error:

Firmware: G920F_v7.1.1_XXU5EQH1-201709112_HOME

After flashing both files phone keeps resetting in recovery.

I also attempted many more, but they either get hidden.img error or they complete but reboot in recovery. (And no matter what you do it stays bricked in recovery mode.)

Any solution or suggestions?

I have also attempted flashing without hidden, but it still gets stuck in recovery.

If not why not try 4 part file?

hey bro just open the full firmware .tar in 7zip or winrar and extract only the hidden.img archive then rename it as hidden.img.tar and flash in ap or pda in z3x box or odin and the phone will work.

Yes this a good solution... I recommend you to use this method... Second method is to use PIT file... You can find PIT file from this link:

G920F pit file for branded firmwares

Hint: if you have Multi firmware Open CSC file with WinRAR and extract PIT file from it and you can use it...

I attempted all of the suggested solutions, sadly none worked.

But after long hours of searching, and trying differnet things i found the fix!

Here's direct link to it: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f684...olved-2246222/ (#8)

And a big shoutout to vasko_bojilov, the solution provided fixed the issue.
