Error in the partition drive. I would check a different Software file OR Samsung Smart Switch.

Unfortunately there was a recent update that removed the ability to update software to samsungs original. You can do an attempt to find the file online OR you can download the older version of Samsung Smart Switch that allows you to run the software. It will require the serial number of the device, so if you don't have that don't attempt it with Samsung Smart Switch.

You are correct, a certain version of smart switch allows emergency firmware initialization if needed but I would personally rather flash firmware files via Odin.

FRP lock just stops the user from flashing custom files and only signed Samsung firmware.

FRP lock will also prompt the user to login the Google account that was associated with the account after a factory reset. Also you can bypass Google account lock with guides which you can find on the internet via Google or YouTube.

Here is a guide on how to flash Samsung firmware:

Have you tried flashing a bootloader? Have you tried smart switch? If you don't have device initialisation menu in smart switch, try 4.0-4.1.

My phone is a Samsung SM-217F model, it is currently showing “AN error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. I understand what I must do however, I don’t know how to retrieve the IMEI serial number. Please help.
