Flash Stock Recovery using Odin 

Caution: Before going to start, remember to make a backup first because performing any software upgrade or flashing any firmware via Odin will wipe your data.

Step 1: Download and install the most recent Samsung Odin tool on your Windows computer. After downloading the file (compressed file), extract/unzip it to Desktop or another location you'd prefer. Then run it as an administrator on your computer.

Skip this step if you have already installed the tool.

Step 2: Unlock Bootloader

  A bootloader is the system code that runs on a device before the operating system starts on the device. Every operating system has some sort of bootloaders to boot into system or recovery. In order to install any third-party, it’s necessary to unlock the device bootloader at first.

Let’s get started on how to unlock the bootloader on any Samsung Galaxy device.

Step 3: Download and install TWRP Recovery on your PC. You can find the corresponding driver software from the “Odin download link” in the forum.

Rename the downloaded TWRP file to “recovery" while flashing it.

Skip this step if you have already installed the device driver

Step 4: Download and install Samsung USB Driver on your Computer. You can find the corresponding driver software from the above “Odin download link” in the navigation bar or Samsung's official websites.

Skip this step if you have already installed the device driver

Step 5: Boot your device into download mode.

Go through these steps to boot the device into Odin Mode.

1. Before proceeding , please switch off your Samsung device.
2. When your device goes into complete power down status, switch it back on by pressing and holding "Home"+"Power"+"Volume Down" buttons at the same time.
3. Release the buttons once you get the warning.
4. Press Volume Up key to enter Download Mode.

Step 5: Connect your Samsung device to PC with a USB data cable.

Odin must detect your phone automatically. And you will be able to see the "Added"message in the Odin Log area at the lower-left of the Odin interface. In the meantime you could see a light-blue box at the ID: COM section stating "COM:3" (the number depending on which USB port you have plugged the device cable into is irrelevant).

Step 6: After your Samsung device is recognized by the Odin Tool, Click "PDA" or "AP" to add the Recovery TWRP.tar file that you have already downloaded.

Caution – Do not check ‘Re-Partition’ under the Options tab.

You can also uncheck the ‘Auto Reboot’ option (optional).

Attention – Do not unplug or operate on your device until the message "FINISHED" OR "FAILED" is displayed on Odin.

Step 7: If you see the "Green Pass Message" over the program, this indicates the flashing is completed. Then eject the USB cable from the device and your device will be rebooted automatically.

To reboot into recovery mode press and hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons together. [For the latest Samsung devices, press and hold Volume Up + Power together]. Reboot the phone when the cache gets brushed away. Then, your device will automatically reboot without any trouble.

That's it! That's how you can flash stock recovery (TWRP) with Odin. As you can see the procedure it's quite difficult. So, be patient and careful while doing the process. Otherwise, you'll end up with a much bigger problem on your device.

What is the ODIN Flash Tool?

Odin is a tool for flashing stock firmware files (.tar or.tar.md5) on Android-based Samsung devices, and it works on any PC running Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, or XP. It's a Windows-based firmware flashing tool created by Samsung for their Android-based smartphones and tablets. What's more intriguing is that Samsung employs this technology both internally and in service centers. Furthermore, you may use this tool to install both official and unofficial firmware without causing any issues or triggering Knox security. This implies that the warranty on your gadget will not be void.

Note:

Odin was updated in January of 2016, and it is the most recent version. It corrects the flashing mistake on the Galaxy S7/S7e USA model (AT&T, T-mobile) and is compatible with new 2016 models such as the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, Note 6, and Note 7. Odin v3.13.3 or higher is required for newer models such as the Galaxy Note 10/S10/S20 Series. Odin v3.14.1 or above is required for Android 10.

Prerequisites for installing Odin Flash Tool on a Windows PC

• Make sure you have the most recent Samsung USB Drivers installed on your computer.
• Only Samsung Android devices are supported by the Odin utility for flashing firmware and data.
• The program is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, and XP computers.
• Make sure the Samsung Kies program isn't operating or interrupting the process when utilizing the tool.
• You must first download the stock firmware for your device in order to install it. You can also download the latest stock firmware for your Galaxy device with SamFirm Tool.

STEP 1: To begin, download the Odin tool zip file from the download section above.

STEP 2: Now, on your PC, use an archive application like Winrar to extract the downloaded file.

STEP 3: Go to the Odin tool's folder and open it.

STEP 4: If a warning message appears, click OK to proceed.

That's it; the ODIN software should now appear on your Windows PC.

I hope you were able to download and install the ODIN firmware on your Windows PC successfully. You can use our article on how to flash Samsung firmware using the ODIN tool to flash the firmware. If you haven't already done so, you can use one of the methods to get the newest Samsung firmware for your device.

Updates and changelogs

v3.14.4 is the most recent version.

• Download the most recent version, v3.12.5, which includes more updated features and allows for easy custom firmware creation.
• Samsung Odin (v3.12, v3.12.4) ROM flash program, custom ROMs, stock firmware upgrade files, bug fixes, more updated version, supports a variety of Samsung Android devices.
• Many Samsung smartphones are supported by Odin mode (v3.10.7, v3.11), which also lets all users install a custom recovery, root package, and boot files on Samsung phones.
• V3.09 is now available for download; it has a high level of compatibility, optimizes battery life, and improves Android device performance.

Auto Reboot: Odin's Auto Reboot option is supported by default. If you're going to flash the stock firmware, keep it that way. However, since most Samsung devices have bootloader encryption, you'll need to disable "Auto Reboot" before flashing TWRP or any custom recovery.

Nand Erase: If you choose this choice in Odin, everything on your Samsung computer will be erased, including the operating system and all files. You'll end up turning your computer into an expensive paperweight if you don't know what to do after performing a 'Nand Erase.'

Re-Partition: Just check this box if you're flashing a Samsung PIT file alongside the firmware. When you enable ‘Re-Partition,' your Samsung computer will be re-partitioned to its default state. If you don't know what partitioning is, don't use this option.

F Reset Time: Choose this option only if you want to reset your device's firmware flashing timer.

BP: This stands for Bootloader, and as the name implies, it's used to flash bootloader files with the.tar or.tar.md5 extension.

AP: This option was known as PDA in older versions of Odin and was used to flash single-file firmware, recovery, and CF-Root files. AP stands for ‘Android Processor' in its full form.

CP: This stands for 'Core Processor,' and it's used to flash the Modem file included in the Samsung firmware binaries kit. In previous versions of Odin, this alternative was referred to as phone.

CSC: This stands for ‘Consumer Software Customization' or ‘Country Specific Code' in its full form. Samsung firmware has a CSC component that is unique to network providers and geographical regions. In other words, it includes customizations such as geographic location, APN settings, carrier branding, and more. Find out more about the Samsung CSC and the Home CSC.

PIT: This stands for Partition Information Table, and it includes data such as system storage partition tables, partition names, block sizes, block counts, and other technical information. A different PIT file is associated with each unit. PIT files can only be flashed if the partition table configuration on the computer has been compromised for some reason.

Boot stuck and boot looping have been a common issue nowadays and in this post we will help you to clarify it. Complete guide to fix a boot stuck or boot looped device.

Basically, there are three methods to resolve this issue.

First of all you have to boot your device into recovery mode. Next, switch off the device > press volume button + power button simultaneously. Then you will be able to see the logo name of your device, and release all the buttons. Switch to recovery mode, and then use volume up + volume down keys to navigate. Select wipe cache partition > confirm and then check it after rebooting . If it fails then try the second option.

2) Perform a hard reset from recovery mode.

Switch off the device and then press the Volume Up + Power button simultaneously . As soon as the device logo appears ,release all buttons. Navigate to Recovery mode> wipe data > factory reset> confirm and finally reboot will begin. If it fails, then try the third option.
