Step 1: First of all, enable USB Debugging on your device. To turn on the USB Debugging, just enter to Developer options. Navigate to the Settings>About Phone> then tap on the Build number 7-8 times until the message ‘Developer option enabled’ displayed. Once the developer options are active, you can go back to the settings>Developer options>Enable USB Debugging.

Step 2: Assuming you have already downloaded the latest version of Odin. If in case the latest version of Odin is not working for your device or having some problems, then just download the appropriate version of the Odin software.
