How to Flash Custom Recovery On Samsung Androids Using ODIN

 1- First, download ODIN file.

5- Open the folder where you extracted the ODIN file and lunch the ODIN.exe by double-clicking it.

6- Now, put your Samsung Android device into download mode by using the appropriate key combinations. Usually, it is by pressing the Home + Volume Down + Power Buttons together.

7- Once in Download Mode, connect the phone to the PC and wait until ODIN detects the phone.
ODIN has detected the phone when you notice that the first box space of ODIN is filled with yellow and writes out some codes.

8- Now, Mark the box before PDA then, click on the PDA. Navigate to the folder where you saved your .tar recovery file and select it.

9- Unmark the Auto-reboot and leave the rest options.

10- Finally, click Start. Wait for the process to complete then, disconnect the phone from the PC.

NOTE:
You should boot the phone straight to the recovery mode immediately you disconnect it from the PC and before it boots on otherwise, the stock recovery would over-write your newly flashed recovery and it would seem as if you never flashed a custom recovery on the phone.
