IMPORTANT! Installing Samsung firmware using Odin software is not the official way to do it.This method is used only if you want to unroot or reinstall an official firmware in case you’re using a Custom ROM. Odin can also be used if you want to install another country’s firmware on your device. You should always be careful that the firmware you have flashed is for your model precisely. We cannot be held responsible for any damage that your device might incur, please proceed at your own risk. If you need help on how to use Odin or a second opinion, check out the Update forum first.Is your Samsung phone shutting off unexpectedly, crashing apps, or acting buggy? If you want to fix these problems, it may be time for a Samsung firmware update. Just like getting an oil change or tire rotation, updating the firmware on your phone can help it run smoothly and more efficiently.However, the biggest problem with OTA updates for Android devices, in general, is that they are incremental, which means that not all devices receive the update right away. Even if you have the latest Galaxy S8 in your possession, your region and network carrier determine when you receive the next awesome Samsung firmware update.
