Samsung Odin for Mac and Linux

But all thanks to the famous XDA developer/contributor AdamOutler, Samsung Odin for Mac and Linux is now possible with the port by the name JOdin. It is a direct port of the Odin for Windows, and it now works on all the three platforms – Windows, Mac, and Linux.

We can also use Odin on Mac using Heimdall, a cross-platform open-source tool suite for flashing firmware and ROMs on Samsung devices. It is believed that the Odin Flash Tool got its name from the king of gods in Norse mythology. So, keeping this into account, the developers of Heimdall named it after the Norse God and guardian of the Bifrost Bridge.

Both Samsung JOdin and Heimdall are Odin alternatives for Mac and Linux, and they are available for all three platforms – Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Odin does not support Mac OS X or Linux, so keep that in mind. To flash the firmware, however, Odin alternatives such as Heimdall and JOdin3 can be used. Similarly, tools like Samfirmand Frija do not help MacOS. On Mac, Linux, and Android, you can use a cross-platform tool called Samloader to look for the latest update for your Galaxy.

Heimdall - For Mac and Linux

Odin is only available for Windows, so Mac and Linux users would be unable to use it. Don't worry, there's an open-source solution called Heimdall that works on Linux, Mac, and Windows. It's a fantastic Odin substitute, and you can get the new edition from the official website.

In the case of Linux users, called JOdin3 CASUAL, which requires Java 8 to run. Toby4213 from the xda forums deserves praise for sharing the new JOdin3. Odin is only compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Finally, a Heimdall-based version of Odin is available for Mac, but it requires Java to run. Its GUI is based on an older version of Odin, but you can still use it on an OS X machine to flash Samsung firmware. I haven't done it with the most recent versions of OS X, so I'm not sure if it still works. Download your favorite version of Odin from the link above and contact us if you have any questions or need assistance with it.
