If an android device is rooted, and you have an image for it. Can you flash it with the "fastboot flash" command of the adb? If not, why? If yes, then what are all the "odin" tools for?
Thank you.
Answer
No. Certain manufacturers decide for whatever reason that they don't want to ship their products with support for 'fastboot'. It's really down to what the device manufacturer decides to do. To find out why, you'd have to find an engineer from the company in question and ask them why they decided to write their own protocol instead of using fastboot.
Most devices are fastboot compatible, while other manufacturers implement their own, proprietary interfaces. The primary example of this in today's world is Samsung, which uses their own, custom protocol to communicate with their devices - which requires a tool like Odin or Heimdall to work.
