From this guide, you can download and install the Samsung Odin Flash Tool onto your Windows PC. Samsung devices are known to be active players when it comes to custom development. The support for different AOSP custom ROMs, custom recoveries like TWRP, and custom kernel builds open the floodgates to the plethora of customizations. Furthermore, these Samsung binary files come in different formats, including the BL, AP, CP, CSC [CSC and HOME_CSC], and PIT.
However, you cannot simply flash these files Using Fastboot Commands. Even the TWRP Recovery comes in a TAR format for Samsung, which is again incompatible with the above commands. This is where the Samsung Odin Flash Tool will come in handy. Not only does this tool allows you to carry out the above tweaks, but you could also flash stock firmware and recovery to bring back your device from a boot-looped state. With that said, this guide will help you download and set up this tool on your PC. Follow along for the instructions.
What is ODIN Flash Tool:
Odin is used to flash stock firmware files (in .tar or .tar.md5 formats) on Android-based Samsung devices and supports any Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, or XP PC. It is a firmware-flashing tool for Windows PCs developed by Samsung for Android smartphones and tablets. What is more interesting is that Samsung uses this tool internally or in the service centers. Moreover, with the help of this tool, you can install official and unofficial firmware without any restrictions and tripping the Knox security. This means that your device’s warranty will stay intact.
