Samsung reached the top in Mobile world, not only because of the amazing devices they manufactured but also because of the brilliant firmware support provided by them. All of the Samsung latest devices have Odin Mode that allows us to flash official Firmwares manually on the device, along with that you can also install rooting packages and Custom Recoveries using Odin Mod. To use Odin mode you must install Odin on PC too, then you can connect your device in Odin mode with PC and using the Odin installed on PC you can easily flash different modes and tweaks which includes Kernels, Firmwares, Rooting and Recoveries.

SamMobile is constantly engaged in brining all the Firmwares for all the regions to download and then flash via Odin. Since the database is so huge, users many time mistakenly installed a firmware of another device on another device, like I Flashed the Firmware of I9100 on I9100G and thought that this is the end for me.
