There are plenty of ways to flash stock ROM on Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets. However, the Odin flash tool is the number one preferred tool. It is also used at the Samsung service center to repair mobile phones. Unfortunately, Odin is only compatible with Windows-based computers. But all thanks to XDA developer Adam Outler, Odin aka JOdin3 is now available for Mac and Linux OS.
What is JOdin3?
JOdin3 for Mac is an all-in-one Android flash tool, especially for Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets. This utility tool works on Linux as well as Mac operating systems. Moreover, this software tool can flash stock firmware packages, custom recovery, CF-Auto-Root, model files, and OTA updates, etc. Most importantly, it is based on the Heimdall tool and CASUAL-X project. The process to use JOdin is exactly similar to Odin Flash Tool on Windows OS. All you need to do is install the latest Samsung USB Drivers, Heimdall tool, and Java on your Mac PC and Macbook. Also, uninstall all the other flashing tools such as Samsung Smart Switch and Samsung Kies. Besides, you also need to use the flashing file in TAR or TAR.MD5. Additionally, you can upgrade or downgrade the software update and restore factory settings on Samsung phones. This tool works on all Samsung Galaxy models. Do you want to unlock the bootloader, unroot, and unbrick your Samsung Galaxy smartphone? Then download the latest version of the Samsung flashing tool JOdin3 for Mac and Linux OSX.
