Loke runs on Samsung devices while in download mode and provides the functionality necessary to perform a flashing operation.

Odin communicates with a special software component called “Loke” which seems to be named after another important character in Norse mythology (often translated as “Loki”). The Korean OEM developed their own firmware flashing tool known as “Odin”, named after the king of Gods in the Norse mythology. Unlike most Android devices, Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets don’t have a true fastboot interface for firmware flashing. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to manually locate the appropriate update package for your Samsung Galaxy smartphone, download it onto your PC, and finally flash the target device with the updated firmware. However, one thing that’s not always easy to come by on Samsung Galaxy devices is the stock flashable firmware you can flash to either downgrade, upgrade, or restore your phone. When it comes to the software update front, the Korean OEM is doing a pretty decent job as well, keeping its average consumers on new and recent security patches through regular updates. Samsung Galaxy smartphones are among the best Android smartphones in the market.
