I've searched the forums, but I've not been able to fine an ODIN flashable GB Kernel (actually I found a couple but they were on dead host. Can someone point me in the right direction. Much appreciated.
package your own. just extract the zImage and .tar it.

Ok.. I tried using Heimdall 1.1.1 (latest) last night to restore my i897 Captivate to stock. It failed and I got the connect-to-pc screen. Easily fixed by going back to download mode and using ODIN 1-Click.
I have been searching and reading for 2 days trying to get this to work and failed on my first attempt.
When I tried to flash JF6 I included the 512 PIT file that we use with ODIN. However, in the directions on the i9000 for flashing with Heimdall (LINK) - they say you don't need the PIT file unless you'r flashing a firmware that uses a different PIT file, but to my knowledge all Captivate ROMs use the 512 file.
So I'm wondering if you need the PIT file to flash to stock from a custom ROM? It's always used when using ODIN so I don't understand why it wouldn't be needed with Heimdall.
Just trying to be cautious as I don't really want to brick my phone and doing random stuff without any knowledge of it sounds like a good way to get an expensive paperweight. I am running Heimdall on ArchLinux btw. I have to steal my friends Windows PC to use ODIN.
Any insight is much appreciated. If I can successfully get this to work I plan on posting an easy step-by-step guide for using Heimdall for those of us that don't use Windows.
You can opt out of flashing the PIT, since some thing it's safer that way.
Also check this out, it's a pretty easy guide to follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878686
That's the post I followed and failed. Its linked in the OP.
Following those directions got my phone stuck on the "computer -> phone" screen.
I also have an issue with Heimdall. I couldn't get it to recognize my phone. Yes... I did install the drivers and it was in download mode. Any suggestions?
Did you reboot after installing drivers?
i've flashed with and without pit files. both work fine.
I understand that the radio-only from EPIH has been made available for install through ODIN. I'm wondering whether someone kind soul who knows what they are doing could make a version of the radio available in zip form for flashing with CWM? This would make things much easier for people like me who are on Macs. Whenever an ODIN file is involved, I have to find a friend to let me use their PC for the purpose.
(BTW, I do have Heimdall installed, but so far have been hesitant to use it as I've heard that it is not as stable as ODIN).
Thanks!
nevermind please delete
Unless it is an OTA update.zip I am not real sure on how to package a modem in a zip. Here is an odin package that you can unpack and use in heimdall.

You could also run a windows VM on your mac and use Odin too.
Thanks. Coming from the non-Odin world of the Evo, I guess I've just become accustomed to doing everything in CWM. I'll give this a shot in Heimdall.
This is the EE4 Radio.
I take no responsibility for you ruining your phone.
The links to the other modem files found in the other threads are all 3 megabyte files and they do not work correctly when trying to flash the EE4 Modem back from EP1Q/W Modems. This is the CDMA and LTE modems.
I experienced much higher download speeds and reliability in Central and Northern Florida with EE4 than EP1 after weeks of testing.
Again, this is a Odin flashable .md5 file that works great when trying to go back to EE4. It may take up to 3 minutes to complete, DO NOT close the app or unplug the phone after Odin shows it has began flashing.
Instructions:
1. Turn your Charge off
2. Plug in the phone to your PC
3. Hold the down Volume button until the yellow triangle Download Mode is active
4. Open Odin
5. Click PDA only (DO NOT CLICK ANY OF THE OTHERS) and Find this file you downloaded.
6. AGAIN, make sure you're on PDA. DO NOT choose PIT, Phone, or CSC as it may soft brick your phone.
7. Click Start and wait until phone reboots.
*If you get the Failed message, unplug the phone, remove the battery, close Odin and repeat from 1. Be sure that after it has began flashing you leave it plugged in. Some users on other forums have experienced fried Sim cards or fried radios when swapping so do this at your own risk.

I'm not sure but I believe the EE4 modem was already posted by kejar31 here - that being said the guide you reference is pretty handy!

Yes, but if you've tried flashing it with Odin, you may find to your surprise it definitely will not work. Those are only 3 megabyte files, this is both modems at 14 megs. This one that is posted above works flawlessly and is ready to flash. The others must be unzipped? This guide and file is much more n00b friendly. Since it is the case that you just have to unpack it, why not just go with one that is ready to be flashed like the above. I didn't have anything that was able to unzip .7z on my computer.
I personally did not like EP1 and it took me forever, flashing and flashing getting "fails" in Odin to finally realize you must unpack the other modem files and chose to seek outside sources for the modem.md5 file. I tried two that were posted on XDA and one other from another site before I finally found the above.
Edited: because it is unnecessary to explain the problems I had. Instructions are in my two posts.

Yes, the one from the thread I referenced needs to be unpacked - you just need a program like 7-Zip (check here for download), although a similarly-based program called jZip (check out here for info) has a much more familiar feeling interface - I've used version 1.3 and had no problems. The nice thing about the compressed files is it takes less time/bandwidth for upload/download, but using the ones you reference here definitely cuts out a step! Another useful guide that might be worth checking out can be found here - the hope is that it is also somewhat noob friendly... hopefully you will agree!
Has ANYONE used the EE4 radios posted in this thread?
Thanks
Yes. I'm on them now.

Can anyone help me, I need to know how much GT-p3110 is compatible with GT-3113...?
I have a need for a .opt & .pit file, for GT-p3113 8gb. I have tried other forums, but with no luck in getting a verification email from them yet, as this process has been a couple of days and still waiting. My efforts are not at an all loss, as I have found my answers there, just not able to communicate with other members there, so...?
I have found this .pit file here, and this post has mentioned that is was working on an 8gb device, but just how compatible is this .pit file...???
Here is that .pit file by the way.

Would like a bump, as I am in need of this pit file as well.
What do you need this for exactly...?
Can you just find a Stock Rom, for your device and start from there...?
Again, what is the need for a .pit file..., there may be another work around, by just installing a Stock Rom and then re-root...

I've been planning on gathering enough files to make a completely full system recovery in case I mess up my GP-P3110 really bad.
I have finally encountered the factory firmware for my gTab which is has the ZTO CSC but what I really had in mind was to be prepared for even the hard bricks. When it comes to my Galaxy S GT-I9000B all I need is the original fimrware (which I already have for the gTab) and a .pit file, but I have nothing else besides the original firmware for my gTab.
I came across this page (http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-2-7-0-p3110-root-clockworkmod-recovery-96473/) where there seems to be the .pit file for the P3110, but I'm not sure if it actually does the job. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, I was wondering what else I should have in order to bring my P3110 back from the dead, since someone said something about a .opt file also. What is it?
Thanks for the time!
Ive looked for a Odin flashable VRBLI5 Radio only and havent found one. Is there or will someone make the radion Odin flashable?? I looked over at rootzwiki and he only has the recovery flashable version only.
I thought someone was working on this in one of the threads with the new leak... However I was unable to locate it... I also tried to download the original leaked .TAR file to try and extract it for you however that download is taking FOREVER....
