The term flashing is used in the mobile language and means updating / modding your phone, it is mostly related to flashing the ROM (operating system package files) manually in your phone while the Samsung Kies software upgrades the OS automatically. Odin can also be used to root the phone, and flash mods to personalize your phone.

Update: Download Odin3 v3.10.6 [ Latest Version ]

In case you are using an older version, you may update to the latest one by downloading it using the link attached below, the latest version always packs up with the best functionality and the fixed bugs.

You need to download the file from the link attached below first, and then unzip the downloaded zip file and extract the files in that downloaded folder.

Other options (Re-partition, LED control etc) are selected upon requirement. PIT stands for partition information table, if you press the PIT button, the .pit files can be browsed in the firmware upgrade folder/package files folder, otherwise, leave it as it is if there is no .pit file.

ODIN 3.07

The formats supported by Odin are *.bin, *.tar & *tar.md5. The firmware files usually come in *.tar.md5 format, you can apply these files using the PDA button in Odin. Once you have done setting up odin according to your requirements, you need to press the ”Start” button and start the flashing process, as soon as the process is finished, your device will restart automatically and you will see a ”Pass” notification on a green background on the top left corner.
