Odin (firmware flashing software)

Odin 3.10.6 running on a Windows machine

Odin is a utility software developed and used internally by Samsung which can be used to flash a Custom Recovery firmware image (as opposed to the Stock recovery firmware image) to a Samsung Android device. It is also used as a way of unbricking an Android device. There is no account of Samsung ever having officially released it, and is believed to be the result of an unintentional leak.^[1] Odin is Windows-only software, providing no support for other operating systems, though it is possible to use Wineskin on the Odin executable, allowing it to run on OS X.^[2]

There is a free/libre similar software called Heimdall.^[3]
