Inside the stock ROM bundled, those binary and images files are packed in three different formats.

Some full packaged stock ROM comes in multiple package this includes with BOOTLOADER image and PIT files, but in flashing it’s been safe not to use these files.

AP – This is the software/firmware build number version and consists to a code of numbers and letters.

Step 3: Run and Configure Odin
