The following post shows you everything you need to download Odin and install it on your computer. Not only does it show you how to install the Odin flashing tool, but it will teach you how to use the firmware flashing software.
Odin is the tool to use when you want to flash an official firmware file manually to update your Samsung smartphone or tablet. In addition to updating the software on your mobile device, the Odin flashing tool is great for rooting using some dedicated rooting tools like Chainfire’s CF-Auto-Root. Likewise, it’s great for people who want to unroot or unbrick a Samsung device. Although, the unbricking and unrooting of a device is done the same way as flashing the official firmware file would be.
There have been many versions of the Odin flashing tool released since it came out. It doesn’t matter a great deal which version of Odin you choose to download and install to work with your device; they all should work so long as you have a Samsung smartphone or tablet. It’s said that the later releases of Odin are made for the later software versions. For example, if your device is running Android KitKat or Lollipop, the Odin 3.07 and 3.09 are the ones best suited for you, since they were released around the same time. However, you can still use the original Odin 1.85 for your device running Android Lollipop if you prefer.
Since there are newer versions of the Odin flashing tool available, you might as well use one of the latest versions if you own a new device or are running some of the later software versions. The reason being is that each later release of Odin also came with some minor fixes and improvements.
