Mobile ODIN Alternatives
Mobile ODIN is described as 'is the on-device firmware flasher of choice. Just throw those firmware files on your (internal or external) SD card, start Mobile ODIN and flash away' and is an app. There are six alternatives to Mobile ODIN for Windows, Android, Mac and Linux. The best alternative is Heimdall, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Mobile ODIN are Odin, ROM Manager, Anarchy-Droid and ROM Toolbox.
- Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung mobile devices.
Discontinued
Heimdall has not received updates since 2017 and does not support new versions of GNU/Linux distributions.
- 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.
- ROM Manager is the must-have app for rooted Android phones that lets you download and manage custom ROMs, and backup and restore your phone from within Android itself.
- Anarchy-Droid is an application designed to help you install custom roms on your Android device. It is supposed to make the process of finding, downloading and installing a rom (with addons like F-Droid and microG) as easy as possible.
- ROM Toolbox combines all the great root apps into one monster app with a beautiful and easy to use interface. ROM Toolbox has every tool you need to make your Android device fast and customized to your liking.
