To begin, launch the app. It will verify if your system meets all requirements such as root access and may download additional packages, so a stable Wi-Fi connection is recommended.

You'll be greeted with the main Mobile ODIN screen showing different partitions. Clicking on a partition enables you to select a file from your SD card for flashing. The app safeguards against selecting the wrong file; it only allows compatible options including separate files, .tar, and .tar.md5 files.

The familiar "PDA," "PHONE," and "CSC" buttons from desktop ODIN are replaced by the "Open file..." button in Mobile ODIN. This function opens the selected file from the SD card and identifies all partitions available for flashing within that file. If you choose a .tar file containing kernel and modem, those partitions will effectively use that .tar file for flashing.

If you have the Pro version, you can advance to the EverRoot section after selecting partitions. EverRoot enables you to root your firmware during flashing, ensuring uninterrupted root access.

When all selections are made and EverRoot configured, proceed with "Flash firmware." Mobile ODIN will gather necessary information, verify your battery level is above 50%, offer MD5 checksum verification if applicable, then reboot into recovery mode to flash your chosen firmware.
