Step 4

Now start Odin on your PC and then connect your Samsung Galaxy S4 Duos i9502 to it through USB.

Step 5

After the successful connection, wait for a while and then you’ll see an ID:COM box with its COM port id will swap into yellow colour.

Step 6

Now under the Odin’s settings, select the F. Reset Time and Auto Reboot options.

Step 7

Now, after pressing down the PDA key/button, choose the above downloaded and then converted CWM recovery 6.0.3.2 for Samsung Galaxy S4 Duos i9502 download.tar file.
