What’s different in Odin3 v3.12.4
The build number is 2016.4.25.1 and the compile date is April 28, 2016. This is the first build in our archive where the Nand Erase All option is labeled just Nand Erase. It still wipes storage, so leave it unticked unless a guide tells you otherwise.
This is the first v3.12 build in this archive with Windows subsystem version 6.0 in its EXE header. You get the same BL, AP, CP, CSC and UMS slots as in v3.12.3. PE header record
Before you open Odin3 v3.12.4
Install the Samsung USB driver first. Without it, the ID:COM box stays empty and Odin just sits there.
Compare the SHA-256 to check that you downloaded the copy listed here. A match does not establish that the program is safe. Keep Windows security checks enabled and review any SmartScreen warning before opening it.
The minimum subsystem version is a file-header value. I cannot confirm Windows 10 or 11 compatibility from that field alone. Check Samsung’s USB driver separately.
When to use Odin3 v3.12.4
Use it only when an older device guide asks for v3.12.4. It’s practically the same program as v3.12.5, so treat those two as one choice.
Leave Nand Erase unticked. It wipes the phone’s storage, and a normal firmware flash never needs it.
Need to get the phone into Download Mode first? That guide has the key combos for every Galaxy button layout.
