The official Samsung Odin is available for only Windows OS, and there is no official version of Odin for macOS and Odin for Linux systems. To fill in this gap, XDA member AdamOutler developed a Java-based tool named JOdin. JOdin3 is platform-independent and can run on Windows, Mac OS, Linux platforms.
JOdin is a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) based tool for flashing Samsung stock firmware, recovery, root packages, other files onto Samsung mobile devices.
JOdin3 is also referred to as Odin for Mac and Odin for Linux systems, and it runs on all three platforms – Windows, macOS, and Linux.
It is a direct port of the official Windows version of Odin and is based on the CASUAL-X project and Heimdall tool.
Since the official Samsung Odin isn’t available for macOS and Linux machines, JOdin is considered as the best alternative for these systems.
The best part about JOdin3 is that it doesn’t require any additional installation, all it needs is a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on your system, and you can start flashing firmware using JOdin.
Below are some of the features of the JOdin tool.
