Part 1. What Is Odin Mode on a Samsung?

Unlike most OEM Android phones, Samsung devices go without the traditional Fastboot mode used to flash and root the firmware and partition images. Thus, the creation of Odin mode perfectly solved the problem.

Odin mode is a Samsung exclusive Download mode. Booting the device information flashes the official firmware to make three things possible: Manually install updates, fix software glitches, and patch the firmware binary to root your device. Therefore, every time you want to flash the firmware, you have to enter the Download mode.
