ID:COM Section

January 14, 2017

ID:COM refers to the device identification shown in Odin when a Samsung device is connected in Download Mode.

What is ID:COM?

When using Odin to flash firmware on Samsung devices, the ID:COM field shows the COM port number where your device is detected. This confirms the device is properly connected and recognized.

Understanding Odin Interface

  • ID:COM: Shows device connection (e.g., 0:[COM3])
  • Added!!: Device successfully detected
  • BL: Bootloader slot
  • AP/PDA: Main firmware file
  • CP/PHONE: Modem file
  • CSC: Region/carrier specific data

Troubleshooting

If ID:COM doesn't show your device:

  1. Install Samsung USB drivers
  2. Try a different USB port (USB 2.0 preferred)
  3. Use original Samsung cable
  4. Restart Odin and re-enter Download Mode
