Then you should launch the Odin as Admin on your laptop, plug your handset to your laptop and have patience till Odin announces if the connection was, or not, successful.
- And the way Odin will do that is by popping up, on the display, the following: a yellow ID:COM box port and a message that should say “Added!!”. In case the plugging was not successful, you have to consider one of these solutions: use a different USB port this time or re-install those USB drivers.

Reset Time and then Auto Reboot; if you see Repartition enabled, uncheck it. The file is now prepared to land on your phone; so begin its flashing by looking for “Start” and pressing it.
