Which one is real one and where is the right place I can download newest Odin verison?


Answer


  • Odin is believed to be a leaked Samsung internal tool as you can see from Wiki . That's the reason you will not find a definitive,official website for downloading


  • What is the ODIN tool? is a related answer and the point worth bearing in mind while choosing the right version is





(....) you probably want to ensure someone else has tried it and succeeded




Now, coming to your question




Which one is real one and where is the right place I can download newest Odin verison?





  • IMO, having been a past Samsung user, the best place to search right version for your device is XDA forums. Above answer cites a thread for a particular device. LATEST ODIN v3.09 & ODIN 1.85 & ALLODIN MULTI DOWNLOADER VERSIONS
    ROM Flashing Tools for ALL Samsung smartphones
    lists out various versions of Odin / download links and compatibility with various devices, with the disclaimer that these ... might not be 100% accurate. Per this your device needs ODIN Multi Downloader v4.42. Another source What Odin Version You Need For Your Phone corroborates


  • To start with, that would be the choice and this being an old device, there aren't many references available from a cursory Google search. You may like to do a deeper search


  • Another point to note is that tutorials on web showing how to use Odin , need to be correlated with version of Odin depicted and the one you are using, since buttons on tool changed. Here is one such guide ( I don't recall which Odin I used last so can't vouch for guide correctness). You may like to Google for more


  • Whichever guide you choose to follow, follow instructions explicitly and don't assume. This caution is to ensure that you don't end up bricking your device. All the best
