The popular tool used by Samsung users to flash custom ROMs, kernels, official OTA Updates zip files and other similar files has reached a new variant, the Odin3 v3.09. It brings new features, fixes and improvements that will allow you to flash official stock Samsung ROMs for Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S4, S3, etc.
Odin3 v3.09 usually recognizes files with the .tar / .tar.md5 extensions, while the .zip files aren’t supported. However, if you find a custom ROM that is in zip format, then you will need to search for its .tar counterpart and then flash it. Chainfire’s CF-Auto-Root tools is one of the most popular .tar files usually flashed by Samsung users, as it allows them to achieve root for their devices.
For ODIN to work with your Samsung device you will need to download and install the Samsung USB Drivers. Download link here.
Also, Odin requires you to enable the USB Debugging in Developer Options.
In case your device doesn’t have the Developer Options shown in Settings, then open ‘about phone’ section, then scroll down and tap seven times on the ‘build number’ text. After that Developer Options will be listed in Settings.
