Odin allows you to flash firmware files in .tar or .tar.md5 format, which are typically provided by Samsung or firmware developers. These files contain information about the device’s memory layout and partitions, and are used to properly write the firmware to the device’s internal storage.
Odin can also be used to back up and restore firmware, format or erase partitions, and even unbrick a bricked device. It is a powerful tool that can be used to perform various tasks on Samsung-based devices, but it should be used with caution as it has the potential to cause permanent damage to the device if used improperly.
