Downloading a smartphone in Downloading mode

To start flashing your smartphone using the Odin program,, you need to download it in Downloading mode. But before that, you should save all the information you need, since after flashing the android device will start as new and will not contain any old data.

Launch Odin

Before starting the Odin program, you should make sure once again that all preparatory work has been done correctly, and that you have installed latest drivers so that there will be no problems in the future.

To avoid any unforeseen situations during the firmware itself via Odin, you need to understand the program itself as much as possible. It is not so difficult to do this, for this, just unpack the archive with the program to any place convenient for you on the hard disk of your computer. Then just run the Odin.exe file. after opening the program, you will see a large number different settings and unfamiliar words. However, you should not worry about this, since you only need information regarding the available firmware to perform a flashing.

We carry out the firmware of the Android device through One

If the firmware you downloaded for your smartphone consists of only one file, then everything is extremely simple here. In this case, click on the PDA button, after which, in the window that appears, you must specify the path to the flashing file on the hard disk.

In the event that the firmware consists of 3 files, then you need to perform the following actions: in the PDA line, select the file whose name contains the word CODE, in the PHONE line, specify the file whose name contains the word PHONE, and in the CSC line, select the file in whose name is the word CSC.

After completing these steps, you need to make sure that the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time labels in the program interface should contain checkmarks against themselves. You should also pay attention to the fact that there is no check mark next to the Re-Partition inscription. This is very important point, since if Re-Partition is checked, then such a flashing may end fatally for your device, and it doesn't matter model galaxy or not, your smartphone will just turn into a brick. That is why, it is very important to pay attention to the Re-Partition item.

You may notice that the program interface contains a large number of other settings, however, they are needed for advanced firmware. Most often, they are used only by those who are engaged in the development of custom versions of firmware for a smartphone. That is why, if you just want to reflash your smartphone so that it works normally again, you should not pay attention to them.

After you make sure that all the checkboxes are checked, and there is no checkmark in front of the Re-Partition item, you can safely proceed to the very flashing of your galaxy, for this you just need to click the Start button in the program interface.

The firmware has started

After you press the Start key, the firmware will start. It is very important not to press any buttons during this, and also not to disconnect the computer or smartphone from the computer. This is a very important point, since failure to follow these rules can damage your smartphone.

When the smartphone is flashed, it will reboot itself, and it will boot in setup mode. You can complete the required step by step settings(the best help in this case is the phone's manual), after which the device will boot normally and be able to function correctly.

In spite of high level reliability of Android devices produced by one of the leaders in the global smartphone market and tablet computers – Samsung- users are quite often puzzled by the possibility or necessity of device firmware. For Android devices made by Samsung, the best solution for manipulating software and restoring is the Odin program.

It doesn't matter for what purpose the procedure for flashing a Samsung Android device is carried out. Having resorted to using the powerful and functional Odin software, it turns out that working with a smartphone or tablet is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. Let's figure it out step by step with the installation procedure different types firmware and their components.

Important! Odin application can damage the device if the user does wrong! All actions in the program are carried out by the user at his own peril and risk. The site administration and the author of the article are not responsible for the possible negative consequences of following the instructions below!

Drivers will need to be installed in order for Odin to communicate with the device. Fortunately, Samsung has taken care of its users and the installation process usually doesn't cause any problems. The only inconvenience is the fact that the drivers are included with the Samsung branded software for maintenance. mobile devices- Kies (for older models) or Smart Switch (for newer models). It should be noted that when flashing through Odin with Kies installed in the system at the same time, various failures and critical errors may occur. Therefore, after installing the drivers, the Kies must be uninstalled.

Step 2: Put the device into download mode

Odin can only interact with a Samsung device if the latter is in a special Download mode.

Step 3: Firmware

Using the Odin program, installation of single and multi-file firmware (service), as well as individual software components is available.

Installing single file firmware

1. Download the ODIN program and firmware. We unpack everything in separate folder on disk C.



Necessarily! If installed, remove Samsung Kies! We follow the path: "Control Panel" — "Programs and Features" — "Delete".



2. Run Odin as Administrator. The program does not require installation, so to run it you need right click mouse click on the file Odin3.exe in the folder containing the application. Then, in the menu that opens, select the item "Run as Administrator".



3. We charge the device battery by at least 60%, put it into the mode "Download" and connect to the USB port located on the back of the PC, i.e. directly to motherboard... When connected, Odin must determine the device, as evidenced by the filling in the blue color of the field "ID: COM", display in the same field of the port number, as well as the inscription "Added !!" in the log field (tab "Log").



4. To add a single-file firmware image to Odin, press the button "AP"(in versions One up to 3.09 - the button "PDA")



5. We indicate to the program the path to the file.



6. After pressing the button "Open" in the Explorer window Odin will start MD5 matching of the sum of the proposed file. Upon completion of the hash-sum check, the name of the image file is displayed in the field "AP (PDA)"... Go to the tab "Options".



7. When using single-file firmware in the tab "Options" all checkboxes must be unchecked except for F. Reset Time " and "Auto Reboot".



8. Having defined the necessary parameters, press the button "Start".



9. The process of writing information to the device's memory sections will begin, accompanied by the display of the names of the recorded sections of the device's memory in the upper right corner of the window and filling in the progress bar located above the field "ID: COM"... Also, in the process, the log field is filled with inscriptions about the procedures taking place.



10. Upon completion of the process, the inscription is displayed in the square in the upper left corner of the program on a green background "PASS"... This indicates the successful completion of the firmware. You can disconnect the device from the USB port of the computer and start it by long pressing the power button. When installing a single-file firmware, user data, unless it is explicitly indicated in the Odin settings, in most cases is not affected.

Installing multi-file (service) firmware

When restoring a Samsung device after serious failures, installing modified software, and in some other cases, so-called multi-file firmware will be required. In fact, it is a service solution, but the described method is widely used by ordinary users.

Multi-file firmware is called because it is a collection of several image files, and, in some cases, a PIT file.

Firmware with PIT file

PIT file and adding it to ODIN are tools used to repartition device memory into sections. This method carrying out the process of restoring the device can be used in conjunction with both single-file and multi-file firmware.

The use of a PIT file for flashing is permissible only in extreme cases, for example, if there are serious problems with the device's performance.

Installing individual software components

In addition to installing the entire firmware, Odin makes it possible to write to the device individual components of the software platform - the kernel, modem, recovery, etc.

For example, consider installing custom TWRP recovery via ODIN.

It should be noted that the above methods of working with Odin are applicable for most Samsung devices... At the same time, claiming the role is absolutely universal instructions they cannot, due to the presence of a wide variety of firmware, a large lineup devices and small differences in the list of options used in specific applications.
