Odin tips and tricks

  • Although Odin is primarily used to install the firmware on Samsung’s Galaxy devices, it is also used a lot to root or install TWRP recovery on Samsung devices. You can find TWRP recovery for Samsung Galaxy devices here. But be sure to use a full guide before installing TWRP, as some other stuff like custom kernel may also be required in some cases.
  • When you don’t need to restart the device right after flashing the firmware/root/TWRP — as you may need to reboot into recovery mode, or maybe flash another file in download mode — then uncheck the Auto Reboot box. If not visible directly, then find it in the Options tab.
  • Use a PIT file very wisely when using Odin. Normally, don’t use a PIT file. It has to be used in rare circumstances, like when your device is unable to boot and got its partitions corrupted because of the flashing of wrong firmware or anything. When using the PIT file, check the Repartition box so that it uses the PIT file. Also, using the right PIT file, that matches the partition system of your device (particularly the variant,carrier-wise, unlocked, storage options, model no., etc. are all considered).
  • To fix Wi-Fi issues with the device, Odin can be used to flash non-hlos.bin file directly to the phone. These are modem files that have come as a fix for Wi-Fi disconnection on some devices.
  • You don’t actually install Odin, it’s a portable software. Hence, copy-paste your Odin folder to any location on PC, and it would do fine. You can also take it on a pen drive.
  • Odin also works for Samsung’s Nexus devices like Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S, but these types of devices are a rarity now.
    • The BL tab is for the file whose name begins with BL prefix. BL stands for the bootloader. When extracting the firmware, if you get a file that begins with BL prefix, then use that file in the BL tab.
    • The AP tab can use the full firmware when only one .tar is extracted from the firmware. However, if you get more than one .tar files, then use the file whose name begins with AP prefix in the AP tab.
    • The CP tab used the file whose name begins with CP prefix. It’s the modem file that’s responsible for making sure your mobile network and Wi-Fi work alright.
    • The CSC tab uses the file whose name begins with CSC prefix. Such files include region-wise APN details and such. CSC stands for Country/Carrier Specific Code.
