    Its the WAT update you want to skip

    I agree with this. I've been using ODIN 1.3.7 (activates on OEM channel) with no issues for years.

    Sorry it may work for some but ODIN is totally outdated as regards to new slic 2.0 and 2.1 and even 2.2 certificates.

    Plus, ODIN isn't supported here since the maker decided to take it to a PAYED forum.
