Odin Flashtool is a lightweight software/utility developed by Samsung for servicing or flashing stock firmware/ROMs or custom flash files like TWRP recovery to Samsung devices.

Moreover, Odin is very easy to use and less complicated.

Firstly, extract the firmware/stock ROM for your Samsung device and place it on your computer before proceeding.

Time needed: 15 minutes.

Here’s a step by step guide on how to use Odin Flash tool to flash firmware/flash files to a Samsung Galaxy device.

Before you proceed, make sure you enable developer option and OEM unlock on your Samsung Galaxy phone. Unlocking your bootloader might make you lose your data. Make a backup.

Please, make sure your device is charged more than 30%. Therefore, there would be no errors or breaks during flashing due to a low battery.

This is a step by step tutorial to help you install firmware via NetOdin to your Samsung Gear Frontier, Galaxy Watch etc.

This process will factory reset your Watch, so make sure you’ve backed up everything you need! Also ensure make sure your Samsung Smartwatch is charged up to 70%!

1. Hold down the Home button for 6–10 seconds until the message “ Rebooting … “

2. Quickly press Home three times until the Reboot Menu appears. (The menu is available for about 10 seconds, after which the clock goes back to “Rebooting …”)

3. The menu selection is made by long holding Home button. To go into Download (wireless mode) press the home button until “Download (Wireless)” is highlighted, then hold down the Home button.

4. Download mode will load in WPS mode. Press Home twice to change the mode to the AP.

5. Connect to the access point that appears (for example, SM-R800-a2a5) (ODIN for some reason does not see the device if several networks are connected.)

6. Run NetOdin3 and then set the firmware files for BL, AP and CSC, then click Start (Copying/flashing of firmware takes about 20 minutes).

7. After the files are downloaded, the Watch will reboot. Again, hold Home and highlight & select Recovery in the Reboot menu.

8. The “Setting Up” screen and “Resetting” screen should appear and after that the Watch will reboot and boot as usual.

It is advisable to check whether you have disabled the function “find my watch” or make sure you remember the password to your Samsung Account.
