If you own one of the more popular Samsung Galaxy devices, there is a good chance that a simple Google search will help you find the latest firmwares. However, downloading a firmware from an unverified source can be a death sentence, especially if it has been modified for malicious intent.

We recommend you to only download the compatible firmware for your Galaxy device from the Updato Firmware Platform. Use the link given below and enter the model number of your phone to find all the latest firmware files and download it to your computer.

IMPORTANT! Samsung Kies is not compatible with Odin Samsung. You have to make sure that Kies is not running in your system tray. It is recommended to uninstall Kies before using ODIN.

Step 4: Boot Samsung Galaxy into Download Mode

Before you can begin to use Samsung Odin to flash the firmware, you need to boot your phone into Download Mode. Start off by holding down the Power button and turn off your Samsung Galaxy device.

With the device turned off, press ‘Power + Volume Down + Home’ to enter Download Mode. (If this key combination doesn’t work for your Galaxy phone, in particular, just Google ‘Device Name + Download Mode’).

Step 5: Connect your phone to your PC

Once you have the Samsung drivers for your device installed and Odin software launched, connect your device to the computer using a USB cable. You will notice a notification sound when connected, and the Odin software should detect the connected device right away.

There is a section called ID: COM (on the left upper side of the window). The blank space underneath it will turn blue if your device is recognized. (If the phone is not recognized make sure you have installed the correct USB drivers for your device).

Step 6: Add the Samsung firmware file to Odin

You will notice that the firmware file you have downloaded from the Updato Firmware Platform is in the format of “.tar.md5”. You need to add this file to Samsung Odin in order to flash it to your Galaxy device.

On the main screen of Odin, you will be able to see multiple buttons, particularly “PDA” or “AP”, depending on which version of Odin software you are using. Click on ‘AP’ or “PDA” and add the .tar.md5 file from where you have saved it on your computer.

IMPORTANT! Do not place anything under the PIT section and make sure that “re-partition” is NOT checked. (On the left side you will see re-partition under the Options tab).

Step 7: Begin flashing the Samsung firmware with Odin

Once you are able to see that the firmware file is loaded onto Odin, you can go ahead and press the “Start” button at the bottom of the application to being the installation process

IMPORTANT! Don’t touch the USB cable while the firmware is being flashed on your Galaxy device. Unplugging the device from the computer during the installation process or closing the Samsung Odin application mid-process can have undesired consequences.

Step 8: Finishing the firmware flashing process

If you have followed the entire guide correctly with the correct firmware files and compatible version of Odin installed, no error messages should pop up. The installation process will take a couple of minutes during which, your Galaxy device will reboot several times.

At the end, you will see a message saying ‘PASS” on a green background. This means that the installation is done. The device should reboot automatically and it should now be running on the newly flashed firmware.
