I wanted to upgrade a firmware of a Samsung S24 Plus to Android 16 from my GNU/Linux system but was too lazy to the old way of installing VirtualBox with Windows, then Odin in there.

Searched around, found this: OdinV4 for Linux - worked like a charm! Full credits to the authors of the project, please star their project!

Just make sure you put all the files you get from samfirmware in their respective param/arguments to the odin binary - I wasnt sure which arg for the HOME_CSC_OXM_S926BOXMACYJ7_MQB102650869_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 file but tried -u and it worked and now phone is working fine with android 16.
