Korean smartphone manufacturer, Samsung has always given new technology to the world. The company has never compromised with its quality & support. The thing that makes it so popular is the build quality, development support & affordable prices. Talking about the development support, Samsung provides Stock ROM for each of its devices as soon as they are released on their official site. If in case you run in into any hard brick or dead state, you can roll back to stock using their software. The thing that makes it so easy is the procedure to flash the ROM. Odin downloader makes everything very easy for everyone.
While most Android devices have a Bootloader Mode with other options like Fastboot and Recovery integrated into a single interface, Samsung Galaxy devices are a bit different as you need to use different key combinations to boot the device into the Download/Odin and the Recovery modes.
