Recommendations before installing Roms (for kernel is not necessary):
- charge the battery up to 100% before flashing the Rom
- disable lagfix if enabled (if you do not even know what it is, do not worry, it is not enabled)

Using Mobile Odin to flash your Samsung device
Every time you change a stock rom, or install a mod via Odin on your PC,
There is a binary counter in the apparatus which changes and increases the count,
Thus showing that there has been some change in your device and invalidating your warranty.
This counter can be zeroed using an application called Triangle Away ,
But despite being functional, comes a beautiful message from the developer:
" THIS IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION AND COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. A USB JIG IS PREFERRED IF YOU HAVE A WORKING ONE. "
So, it's clear that although it works, you run the risk of throwing your device in the trash, or having to learn to work with Jig and resistors. However, we have a great way out of this, Mobile Odin (only with root). This app offers all the features of your Odin on the PC, but with an immense advantage, installs .zip files (mods, custom roms) and does not change its Binary counter for Roms Stock.
But someone might ask, "But in order to use Mobile Odin, do not you have to have root? And does not this increase the meter? " Yes, you need root, and yes, it will change your counter to do root. But what is safer and more practical: Zero the counter once to do root, and then change as many times as you want the roms, kernels and mods, or simply every time you change something via Odin PC have to reset the device counter ?
Besides the advantage of not resetting the meter, the mobile odin still brings something much better, convenience and ease. The entire process can be done right through your device, you do not need PCs around at all, and even being .zip files that would be installed via CWM, the mobile odin can be faster in selecting and applying.
Summing up? The Mobile Odin is the best way out, for those who love to flash something on their handset, like me ... then, hands down !!
Well, doing a rom or kernel exchange via mobile odin is very simple, so come on.
If you wanted to install a stock rom:
1 - Open the mobile odin and select the "Open File"
2 - Locate and select the rom
3 - Check all the options in "Everroot" and "Wipe"
4 - Click the "Flash Firmware" option, and wait for your device to restart.
If you wanted to change install a custom rom or mod:
1 - Open the mobile odin and select the "OTA / Update ZIP" option
2 - Locate and select the file
3 - If it is a new rom mark all the options in "Wipe", if it is a mod, just check the "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
4 - Click the "Flash Firmware" option, and wait for your device to restart.
Comments:
1 - If you want to change a Kernel or Recovery that are in .tar select the corresponding option in the program, and then click Flash Firmware. If they are in .zip, select the OTA / Update ZIP option and then click on Flash firmware.
2 - When opening the mobile odin for the first time, it prompts you to download a file, just confirm that the app shows the correct model of your device.
3 - You are not required to do wipe data, but it is always safer, and decreased the chances of your device crashing at boot, or having multiple errors after reboot.
