If you have been using an Android-based Samsung phone for some time, you may have likely heard of the term--Odin Mode. You may have also seen this term thrown around in various rooting guides for Samsung devices. In today's post, you are going to learn what Odin mode is, how it is used on Samsung devices, and what you can do if your phone gets stuck in this mode.

The Odin Mode is a special mode that your phone comes preloaded with and it allows you to perform various tasks on your device.

The Odin Mode lets you flash new custom firmware, flash stock firmware, flash various kernels and flash a number of other file types on your devices.
