Hello together,
after many tries to get my nokia 3.2 rooted, i end up now with a black screen.
Only the Qulacomm mode is working.
Get anyone managed to flash the stock firmware with QFIL provided from the rooting thread?
I always end up with "sahara fails".
Every help is welcome!
Thanks!!!!
After many tries I have finally put my phone back to life.

please do, i encountered a similar problem.
HowTo Flash STOCK 00WW
1. Trigger nokia 3.2 to edl-mode (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/guide-how-to-trigger-nokia-3-2-to-edl-t3962841)
2. Flash the given image from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/rooted-nokia-3-2-t3945206)
- This was the main problem. I never managed it to flash the image with the Windows Programmer QFIL. After more research in Internet, i found finally a Linux application called QDL that work directly without any problems. This application can be found here https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/guides/qdl.md.html .
- Flashing the software ends up into a bootloop. Also i got a message on startup that the bootloader could not be trusted anymore. After a software-update, this message disappears.
3. Flash all the user images again manually with fastboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
flastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Whyever you have to flash this partitions only to the active partitions without the suffix _a or _b.
Then the bootloop is finished.
The phone boots normally to Android ONE.
The next problem which occurs on my phone is now that it is not able to connect to GSM network. I guess this happens because i deleted all the necessary partitions for the modem (modemst1, modemst2, fsg).
I get it managed to restore the imei, but still no service available.
In original my phone had the software 00EEA. Perhaps they use different drivers. My luck is that i got a cheap damaged phone from ebay with that firmware.
My next step is to modify the code from QDL that it can read the partitions from the damaged phone and save the software to computer.
Then i will flash this software to my phone and look if this software will run on my phone!

Thank you for your reply, it seems that your problem is more complicated than mine.
I have a global variant with 00WW software and i attempt to root the phone. I successfully flash the patched boot.img and had root access. However wi-fi didn't work after that.
Since before flashing the patched boot.img my phone was running on a different firmware from the one that boot.img was extracted from, so i think that was the problem.
I attempted to use QFIL to flash my phone back to 00WW_15 and it failed half way, bricked my phone.
Normally you can use the EDL Mode every time.
My phone only showed black screen and it was always possible to connect in EDL Mode and flash again.
Did you try to flash again? What happens then?
Flash the given image from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/rooted-nokia-3-2-t3945206)

What did you mean by Flash the given image ? Was it flash the firmware package with QFIL ?
My main problem is flashing, it always failed half-way and the error log reported that needed files were missing from the package.
Okay. I used the linux program QDL for flashing.
But i saw, that in the xml file rawprogram0.xml a few files are missing.
The linux programm jump over these files but perhaps QFIL do not.
For example is there a picture.img listed which is not available..
Try to remove them manually from the rawfile and test again.

@update:
Also the files "demoapp.img", "dp_AP_signed.mbn" and "dp_MSA_signed.mbn" are missing.
Remove them from the XML file and try again!

Okay QFIL still failed half-way but i manually flash the user images and my phone boots normally now
Hello,
my nokia 3.2 europe variant wont boot up its stuck in fastboot mode. What can i do to bring it back?
I get this: FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)
P.S. if i do a fastboot reboot it boots back into bootloader
I also had this problems for many many times and don't know what went wrong when this happens.
The only thing that helped was flashing the complete firmware again in EDL-mode.
You can try first to flash only the 5 user-images with fastboot, which i mentioned before in this thread.
I uploaded this files for you, because you don't will find the europe files in internet yet.
Here is the link:
https://transfernow.net/81iti7q21s0s
Good luck!
Hi,
Thank you very much. Is this the complete Firmware? (All Images from Device) Another question: I couldnt Access the recovery System. Did you have the same Problem when your Nokia didnt boot up and was stuck in Bootloader? So is this normal that the recovery is unaccessible?
Yes, that also happens sometimes with my phone.
No, that are not all firmware files, which you need to do a full EDL-Flash.
But with this files you can first try a fastboot flash!
If it does not work, you can take all the other files from the Global-Stock-Firmware, given in the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/rooted-nokia-3-2-t3945206.
Delete the 5 files with the same names, flash the Global-Stock-Firmware in EDL-Mode, with QFIL or QDL, (without the 5 files) and in the following flash the 5 europe-image files with fastboot.
Thanks, ive sent it in and got Friday a 00WW Variant of the device back. I will upload those User images for 00EEA to my Google drive so that anyone who needs those files can download them
hello
i wanted to install custom rom and i bricked my phone. i lost recovery mode and i have only fastboot mode .but can not write any img file for example twrp.img beacuse show this error : FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist). can please anyone help me.

Hello to ervery one
how you flashed your phone. can you please guide?
i am also stucked in fastboot mode after rooting.
damn... I've been finding on how to restore the wifi and sound because I uninstalled magisk and it failed. I don't think I can thank you enough for this post.
After a couple weeks of trial and error, here is a solution that worked for me.
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
First, some notes:
As usual, this will NOT work with H932. This guide is intended for US998/VS996/LS998 only. I have no other V30 models, so I can not test this there.
I have noticed that after using LGUP to re-flash a V30 with a US-variant firmware, the phone is left with no contents in the /OP partition, reason why I am unable to use this guide.
And now, what I've done:
Unlock your bootloader. You can follow the WTF Guide.
Clean flash to US998 10d firmware. You'll require a Patched LGUP (go here and read the INSTALL DEV PATCHED LGUP step). Use the [PARTITION DL] command (selecting all partitions, with the help of the Select All checkbox). Do NOT try any other command in LGUP.
It is probable that your phone will start bootlooping/get stuck in the LG logo between steps. Ignore this for now. To force a re-connect in Download Mode, keep the USB cable plugged in to both the phone and the PC while pressing PWR + VolDn. As soon as the phone restarts (the screen blinks/flashes for a split second) release all the buttons except for the VolUp button, and hold it pressed until you see the Download Mode appear.
Update to US998 20h firmware. Use the same instructions as for the previous flash.
Update to US998 30b firmware. Use the same instructions as for the previous flash.
Flash the H930 31a firmware. You'll require a patched LGUP. Use the [PARTITION DL] command. Do NOT try any other command in LGUP. When the partitions selection dialog appears, mark the checkbox Select All, and then uncheck xbl, xbl2 and modem. It is imperative NOT to flash the xbl, xbl2 and modem partitions, or else you'll brick your phone.
Factory reset your phone with the help of the stock recovery. Disconnect the USB cable, power off the phone (or hold PWR + VolDn to force a reboot, and then immediately proceed to the next button combo). Now press at the same time (and hold) PWR + VolDn. As soon as your phone vibrates/your screen shows the LG logo, release the PWR button and immediately press (and hold) it (I've had more success smashing the PWR button and not simply releasing and holding it afterwards). After a few seconds a white screen asking you to factory reset your phone will appear. Release all the buttons and answer yes (twice) to proceed with the factory reset. There is a reason why this button combo is called the "button dance". Get comfortable with it.
Now decide if you want to encrypt your phone or not, as this can not be changed later.
If you want it encrypted:
Boot normally and complete the initial configuration assistant. Your phone will be auto-encrypted on first boot.
Power off your phone, hold the VolDn button and connect it to your PC via USB. You should end in fastboot mode.
Go figure the drivers and the Android Platform Tools to be able to issue commands to the phone in fastboot mode. There is plenty of information online.
Issue the command fastboot boot recovery.img, where recovery.img would be this recovery. You should be in TWRP now.
In TWRP you can directly flash the recovery image to permanently have it installed.
Get hold of the Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt, Disk Quota Disabler zip, rename it to Disable_Dm-Verity_twrp.zip and flash it.
Download Magisk, rename it to Magisk-v23.0.zip and flash it.
Download AK3_RCTD_Remover.zip and flash it.
Boot normally.
If you do not want it encrypted:
As soon as the white screen for the factory reset appears, connect your phone to your PC via USB.
Answer yes (twice) and proceed with the factory reset.
Be ready for when the phone restarts, because if it boots to the OS you'll have to factory reset it again.
As soon as the erasing screen disappears and the phone self-reboots, press and hold the VolDn button. You should end in fastboot mode.
Go figure the drivers and the Android Platform Tools to be able to issue commands to the phone in fastboot mode. There is plenty of information online.
Issue the command fastboot boot recovery.img, where recovery.img would be this recovery. You should be in TWRP now.
In TWRP you can directly flash the recovery image to permanently have it installed.
Get hold of the Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt, Disk Quota Disabler zip, rename it to Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_twrp.zip and flash it.
Download Magisk, rename it to Magisk-v23.0.zip and flash it.
Download AK3_RCTD_Remover.zip and flash it.
Boot normally and complete the initial configuration assistant. Be aware that the phone encryption button in the phone's security settings will not work and simply soft-reboot your phone. Go start from scratch if you wanted it to be encrypted.
Now you're with your phone up and running, rooted, and cross-flashed to the H930 firmware. This ensures the presence of a valid non-empty /OP partition. Also all the options and settings described here are now available.
Configure the MBN files for your carrier:
Boot normally to Android and use the help of your favorite Desktop/Android app to modify system files.
The modem partition is located at [/vendor/firmware_mnt/image].
To be able to make changes, remount the modem partition as writable by issuing the command mount -o remount,rw /system/vendor/firmware_mnt in your favorite terminal.
Copy the MBN files of your carrier (or all of them) to the modem partition and set the permissions. You do not need to find/copy the US MBN files as they are there already. You can search in the attached Modem IMG file with the help of 7-Zip ZS. These modem images can be obtained by unpacking the stock KDZ firmwares. The MBN files should go into the modem_pr/mcfg/configs/mcfg_sw/generic_ subdirectory. You should update the modem_pr/mcfg/configs/mcfg_sw/mbn_sw.txt listing file to include all the MBN files that you've copied. The same attached modem ZIP file contains a mbn_sw.txt which contents you can append to your existing one.
Update the permissions:
cd /vendor/firmware_mnt/image/modem_pr/mcfg/configs
chown -R system:system *
chmod -R 0550 *
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0440
Now configure the OP data for your carrier:
Remount the OP partition as writable by issuing the command mount -o remount,rw /OP in your favorite terminal.
Update /OP/OPEN_EU/config/vo_config.xml with a new entry for your carrier. You can search in the attached OP IMGs (the name indicates the firmware/region from where it was extracted) with the help of 7-Zip ZS for an existing config.
You can try to experiment with additional settings, as described here and here.
And you are done! Reboot and you should see a VoLTE icon eventually appear.
It seems that the US998/VS996/LS998 actually has no OP images. I do not live in the US and am unable to try different settings for the /OP related files for the US carriers. If you get hold of other OP images for other regions, you could very easily adapt this guide to configure VoLTE for another region.

Seems very well-written and quite organized. I'm in U.S. so don't need it myself, but thanks for helping others.
And thanks for giving credit.
Hi! Thank you for the guide.
For information, I had to flash H930 30b before flashing H930 31a, otherwise the phone got stuck at boot and never reached the first config stage.
I also got "Operation not permitted" errors when reassigning permissions with chmod after editing mbn_sw.txt with carrier info. No xattr on Android unfortunately. So VoLTE still doesn't work, but I'll give it another shot soon.
chown -R system:system *
after this command i am getting operation not permitted after every mbn name
any solution
Do you know you if you have write access to the partition? System often boots up with read-only, so you have to remount it as read/write in most cases. The instructions seem to say you need to do this, but be sure that this step actually worked (and that you didn't miss it).
Welcome to this easy guide.
Time needed: 15 / 60min (depends on your internet connection)
Ease of operation: Very easy
Don't be fooled by the length of this guide ... the operations to be done are quick and easy.
NB: I state immediately that this procedure does not restore the state of Knox to 0x0 if by chance you have brought it to 0x1.
To date, this is an irreversible process.
In the next lines we will see how to restore our Samsung device to its original factory conditions, after unlocking the Bootloader, rooting and installing various types of custom installations, such as custom OneUI, AOSP or Google ROM.
It may happen that you want to go back to the original firmware of our Samsung, after trying various custom ROMs, after having rooted and modified the recovery, missing with the phone partitions, lost EFS folder or corrupt IMEI. The reasons can be many. This guide is aimed at all those who, with the classic Odin procedure to install the stock rom, are unable to restore the phone to normal operating conditions.
But it can happen to fail in this thing, even using Odin to put back the original software, Odin himself or the phone can crash to the BOOT partition or generate other errors, with VBMeta or generic errors, including partition ones.
So let's see how to solve all the inconveniences due to modding on our Samsungs to 99%. Let's begin!
- MATERIAL REQUIRED:
Latest version of Frija link
Latest version of Odin link
Samsung USB Driver link
File Manager zip (example 7zip) link
PC with Microsoft Windows 7-8-8.1-10-11
USB type C cable
1 - Download the latest stock firmware for our Samsung:
Download the latest version of Frija and once the program has started, enter the model code of your device and the abbreviation of your CSC.
Make sure the "Auto" checkbox is checked.
Once you have checked everything, click on "Check Update" and click on "Download". Wait for it to download.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once you have downloaded the zip containing the various parts that make up the stock software (see image below), extract it to a folder of your choice. We will have 5 files in total.
2 - Retrieve the original PIT file
To recover the PIT file (partition list) for our device, go to the firmware folder you just downloaded with Frija, locate the "tar.md5" file with the words CSC_OXM_N............., right click on the it and select rename, adding ".zip" at the end to "transform" it into a compressed file that can be opened. This way you will have something like
"CSC_OXM_N975...............REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5.zip"
Give the Ok and confirm the change of the file extension.
You should now have the same situation as you see in the image below. Total 5 files of which one is a ".zip" files.
Now open the file you just renamed with 7zip, the main window of the 7zip program will open with various files inside:
Now copy the "D2S_EUR_OPEN.pit" file by right clicking and selecting the "copy to ..." item and giving the ok without changing anything. The .PIT file will be copied to the same folder as the previously downloaded firmware.
Once this is done, the folder that appears will look like this (Now, the total files are 6 of which one is a ".zip" files):
Now just put the CSC_OXM ... file back to the previous condition, renaming it one more time and eliminating the ".zip" extension at the end of the name, in order to find an MD5 file again. This will be the file we will have:
"CSC_OXM_N975...............REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5."
Now we have everything we need. If we have done everything correctly this is the final result (Total 6 files).
3 - Prepare and Configure Odin
Now open the latest version of Odin (as of May 2022 the latest version is 3.14.4), load the corresponding downloaded firmware files in the various slots (BL, AP, CP and CSC) as usual.
In the CSC box, upload the file labeled "CSC_OXM_N975 ............... REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5."
Did you know that....
The CSC_OXM file is used to restore the internal memory as factory, this will delete all personal data in the phone memory, all applications and data associated with it.
The HOME_CSC_OXM file, on the other hand, will not act in any way on the internal memory. Useful if you want to update while remaining in the same type of ROM. Not recommended if your phone has a Custom ROM installed, as it may not start or give errors in previously installed applications.
If you want to do a clean install of the original ROM, always use the CSC_OMX file!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once this is done, move (still in Odin) to the "Option" tab and check the following items:
Auto Reboot
Nand Erase
Re-partition
F. Reset time
The rest of the items MUST NOT BE SELECTED!
Again in Odin, this time go to the PIT tab, a warning message will appear, give the ok and select the first extracted file which has the unique name "D2S_EUR_OPEN.pit"
If you have done everything right you should have the same situation as the image below:
4 - Return the phone to the original firmware
Connect the USB type C cable to your phone and restart your phone in "Download mode" (check the right combination for your model), or use the Custom Rom to do this, usually all coustom roms or custom recovery offer reboot in Download mode (or Booloader).
In odin in the "Log" tab, you should see the word "Added" with the number of the port to which it is connected (example "0: [COM3]"), if so, press the START key of Odin and wait for the restart (this procedure will delete all data on your device).
If nothing appears, install the Samsung USB drivers and repeat step 4.
5 - Relock the BootLoader
To get rid of that fatal warning message when starting the phone that tells us that the BootLoader is unlocked once and for all, let's put it back in place, relocking the BootLoader.
(Image for demonstration purposes)
Turn off the phone, reconnect the USB cable and immediately press the Volume + and Volume- keys at the same time.
Return to Download mode (albeit a little different), with various options (actually only 3).
In this case, follow the second option (Volume up long press: Device unlock mode) hold down the Volume + key for a few moments until the message "Lock Bootloader?" Appears. To confirm everything, make a single click on Volume + (also in this case the phone will be formatted by the system again) and wait for a complete restart.
6 - Relock OEM (optional but recommended if you want to stick with the Samsung ROM)
Once your phone has restarted and the initial setup is complete, you can also disable the OEM unlock capability and reuse the security features.
To do this, go to Settings / Phone Information / Software Information and tap several times on the wording "Build version" in order to unlock the "Developer options". If prompted, unlock your smartphone with your PIN or sign.
Now go back to the main Settings page, open the Developer Options and check that the "OEM Unlock" item is disabled, otherwise disable it and restart the device.
Well now you have your Samsung with Original firmware again. Enjoy

To do this, go to Settings / Phone Information / Software Information and tap several times on the wording "Build version" in order to unlock the "Developer options". If prompted, unlock your smartphone with your PIN or sign.
Now go back to the main Settings page, open the Developer Options and check that the "OEM Unlock" item is disabled, otherwise disable it and restart the device.

Hi there. I tried it and didn't work for me.
Tried with differents CSC too, but my phone doesn't start the system. Just starts the download and recovery mode
It doesn't even show up the charging screen when powered off
Tried so many things and I can't boot my system...
I made a post with the info about what happened:
Need help with semi-bricked Note 10 Plus (SM-N975F) - Stuck on recovery/download mode
Didn't know where to post this exactly, to be honest. This will be a long post I was flashing AOSP roms in the phone. Tried to go back to One UI for the VoLTE thing In one of the AOSP roms I couldn't install it in Lineage Recovery (older version...
forum.xda-developers.com
Please help...
Ok, tell me where you get stuck ... or can you follow the whole guide but then the phone doesn't start?
Is the model number of your Note10+ is SM-N975F?
What original CSC did you have before you root?

I followed the full guide, but I got stuck after flashing the firmware in Odin. It shows the screen of "Erasing data", and after that, nothing more
Even after locking again the bootloader
And yes, I ticked what's needed in Odin and used the .pit file
My model it's SM-N975F
The original CSC it's ZTO. Flashed the latest firmware
Ok so with Odin it didn't give you any problem. Let's say he freezes when he does the first boot that does the factory reset. Right?
Well odd, because once the original firmware is installed, I don't see why it should crash on boot ... unless there is a hardware problem in the phone's internal memory.
I know it may sound trivial, but the usb cable you use is good and did you use the latest version of Odin?
Have you checked maybe if the internal memory is right for you. If it is 256Gb or 512Gb
You could try this, if you see that it does not start try to enter the recovery (the original one) and delete everything you can, like cache and do a reset data directly from the recovery. Then try restarting and see if it starts.
If it still doesn't boot, try this thing.
Install TWRP custom recovery and enter once installed.
Go to Wipe Section in TWRP, Repair or Change partition, System and Data, and Changed Ext4 to EXTFAT. And changed back to Ext4. Eventually rerun the guide again.

The USB it's the original from Samsung.
The device is 256GB

I tried this but not in the process of "Do the format and then do the Odin process" so I can try
I'm trying now with USB OTG to know if I can flash the system.img (and know if from there I can solve this)

Tried from reset data on official recovery to doing the change of format in TWRP and the doing all of the process again. No success.
Also tried with USB OTG with system, vendor, product and boot image. Neither
One thing that happened is that when trying to change the system partition to exFAT, it gave an error (system is not mounted) but changed the format to vFAT. Changing it to another option doesn't give that error, so I tried to do with another option and back to ext4.
I don't think it's a physical issue, if turns on, there is some hope at least
There is almost certainly a solution to your problem. (have you tried to do "format data" and typed "yes" in TWRP recovery?). Anyway, it's night at my place now, I'll see tomorrow to think of some other solution.
Tried already. Also tried to format the data with fastboot (Lineage Recovery gives the option to fastboot in Samsung)
I have the exackt same problem with my note10+ with 256GB and dual sim. and the problem you describe is also 100% what i experienced and still have as an issue... If you get to the point where you can solve the issue then please write me my friend. I will do the same ofcourse... btw can you use your pen in TWRP? i can only mark the files but not click them to run...? i have the idea that the TWRP for our model isnt built right somehow..
I assume you haven't solved the problem yet. In these days I have looked around but I have not found much ...
I saw a video, which through the ADB shell a guy was able to find the list of all partitions with the numbers of all the blocks and information and practically managed to rebuild the system partition from scratch, but I don't know if it works on samsung.
This is video:
Then another thing, what procedure did you follow for rooting? You may have had problems during the rooting process.
I followed this guide:
To update the situation
The battery of the phone inflated like a balloon, so I needed to go to a technician. I don't know for sure if that was caused by something physical, but will update when have some news
Ok, let me know if the technician can get you to restart the phone, and out of curiosity, he can bring the knox back to 0.
Hi, I was trying this today and I'm stuck at "An error has occured while updating the device software."
Odin was stuck at product.img for over an hour so I restarted the phone using volume down and power.
I tried again and it keeps getting stuck at product.img while the phone shows this error. Please could you help me out?
I followed all the steps exactly as you said, but I noticed while in download mode that it showed Warranty Void: 1
I did not root the phone, only flashed Pixel Experience and now trying to go back to OneUI

Hello, then, the Warranty Void at 1 is triggered when you install a non-original firmware (in this case the PixelExperience), or when you change Recovery (ex: the TWRP) or you run the ROOT.
Any other software that is not in original firmware triggers the Knox to 0x1 irreversibly.
In your specific case, by installing the LineageOS Recovery and the PixelExperence ROM you have triggered the Knox at 0x1.
I am sorry.
Coming to your problem, the model of your phone what it is (ex: SM-N975F) and the CSC (ex: ITV). Did you download the original software for your exact model? Did you extract the PIT file from the original firmware and put it in the Option tab in Odin?

Hello, I got it working just now by using a different cable and USB port. The procedure completed and the phone restarted by itself, and now its perfectly fine. Thank you so much for your help.
Yes, the phone is an SM-N975F. Despite Knox being tripped, my banking and payment apps are still working so I'm happy
I'm sure your article will be helpful to many more users. Thank you!

OK well. Glad it was helpful. Yes, however, until you root all the apps will work. The only one are some applications by Samsung that will no longer work because they are based on the knox.
Otherwise like Google Pay, all banking and account apps, software updates should work smoothly.
Hi, is this guide usable for the S22 snapdragon version? My device is rooted, and I want to back to original firmware.
I root my devices with magisk and make chmod 555 to NVD_IMEI. because of magisk bug. Then I use few week(maybe 2 week?) with no problem. but I trid mount ext4 sdcard(because I want easy to recover with TWRP(but I did not install yet) but AP file is to big so can't use fat32) and it's successful. At next morning(January 28th), I saw signal was dead.(but, wifi is alive. ; I can't remember about Bluetooth, IMEI and is only signal dead or can't attach sim card.) So I reboot my phone( because I just think something crash it) but can't boot and get stuck. so I flash stock rom but can't boot. but only recovery(Normal and TWRP all) work well. So I do re-partition but also not work. I do NAND Erase with magisk patched AP and it booted. but IMEI disappear(of course because I do NAND Erase) and wifi did not work. I flash stock rom again but boot fail... when flash magisk patched AP it boot. I don't know why only magisk patched AP only boot, but I will use patched AP so not important yet.(I don't know what will happen future.) I think wifi error because I NAND Erase so vender partition broke. So I will flash vender image first. but sadly I have IMEI backup but I don't have vender partition backup... So I search internet but couldn't find vender image. Where can I get image? Is because of other problem? Then what and how can I fix it?
vendor.zip is vender folder(partition) backup after I NAND Erase it. TWRP backups of Vender partitions are also fine. If there's anything that needs to be changed for each device, please let me know as well.(ex.S/N, IMEI)
Broken partition after NAND erase? Sounds unlikely if flashing went successful. You cannot break NAND memory itself using software, and flashing with the "re-partition" option using external PIT file will re-partition everything unconditionally, so no broken partition may remain after that. Sounds more like you flashed wrong or incompatible stock firmware. And did you do Factory Reset after flashing?
P.S.: And I still don't understand why so many people need Magisk so badly. Root is needed only for a few quite low-level apps.

NAND Erase is at odin option.
I do root for use "few quite low-level apps" and view and fix or backup app data.
I use "SM-A325N_2_20230113085551_pl06359zs5_fac.zip". It's compatible stock from samsung server. I use this stock to recover once, and I recover it.
Ok ) I have extracted vendor.img from your firmware: https://easyupload.io/vgzftz (if that's what you needed, I cannot understand your language clearly enough). Only I am not sure how you're going to flash it, because it's a dynamic partition inside the physical "super" partition and cannot be flashed directly besides (reportedly) using dd from the shell or using fastboot.
I still think you somehow mixed parts from different firmware versions. I never seen a situation when flashing a complete stock firmware with re-partition and NAND erase and then Factory Reset would not fix the booting. Try going into Recovery and do Factory Reset right after flashing, without allowing the system to try booting.

삼성에는 패스트부트가 없습니다. 그러나 다운로드 모드가 있습니다. 다운로드 모드에서 odin을 사용하여 펌웨어를 업로드하십시오. 또한 TWRP에서 img를 플래시할 수 있습니다.

At samsung, there is no fastboot. but, there is download mode. Use odin to flash at download mode. Also can flash img and zip at TWRP.
If you still need help please be a bit clearer what exactly is your problem, what you cannot achieve. I think a Korean-speaking person would be of much help here but it seems there is none
