(Tuts) How to using Samsung Odin tool flash firmware/rom for Samsung Devices​

Odin is a utility software developed and used by Samsung internally. It can be used to flash a custom recovery firmware image (as opposed to the stock recovery firmware image) to a Samsung Android device. Odin is also used for unbricking certain Android devices.

There is no account of Samsung ever having officially openly released Odin, though it is mentioned in the developer documents for Samsung Knox SDK and some documents even instruct users to use Odin. Some other docs on Knox SDK reference “engineering firmware”, which presumably can be a part of the Knox SDK alongside with Odin. Publicly available binaries are believed to be the result of leaks

Download:

Install driver Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows

Instructions:

  1. Backup your data (videos, photo, messages, contacts,…)
  2. Extract (unzip) the firmware file
  3. Download latest Odin tool
  4. Extract Odin ZIP file
  5. Open Odin
  6. Reboot your phone in Download / Odin mode (make sure your device is off) with the following button combo: POWER + VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON– Other options in case first option did not work or isn’t possible.
    – Option 2 VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP than USB cable

    – Option 4 POWER + VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY
    – Option 5 (Note9) USB cable + VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY
  7. Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
  8. Add the firmwares file to Odin:

    – Add the AP_xxx file to AP (if firmware is a single file add to AP)
    – Add the CP_xxx file to CP
    – Add the CSC_xxx file to CSC
  9. Add the PIT file to Odin: choose “Pit” tab, click “PIT” and open *.pit file (skip if flash stock firmware not include PIT file)
  10. Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

Just wishful thinking-I don’t have access to a Windows PC – are there any option for Mac? I have Oldin installed, however it cannot locate the PIT files. Any idea or suggestion where I might start to locate those files?
