Instead of asking why not try, you're on a developer board, that more or elss means you're willing to mess with stuff to see if it works.
As i've said it works for me, your mileage may very so give it a shot and for gods sake READ THE FIRST POST as odin will wipe your phone(no sd just phone)

Thanks. This is a nice convenient time saver. Hopefully there will be one of these when the official froyo is released.

Always reboot pc before running odin and make sure you don't have pc studio running
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Are we supposed to check Reboot and DebugEn? Or do we just leave it as is like the 1st post says? Because in the guide about using ODIN it says to check those
EDIT; My bad forgot that this is the new version of ODIN, so I guess we just follow the instructions

Done, still having the same issue. I've never heard of PC Studio before looking it up now, so I presume it's not running, unless it's installed with the drivers or something. In any case, I'm gonna try uninstalling MSE and see if that makes a difference, but I've been screwing around with Odin and this half-bricked phone for two days now, so I don't have high hopes.

for odin 1.61(with the victory .pit) only check timereset and reboot
NOTHING else. with this rom.
make sure that you start odin first before connecting the usb(just to be sure)
and if you have issues, make sure that the usb is capable of the proper power, ie not through a hub, and disconnect non essential usb things.(mouse and keyboard are obviously essential)
if that fails try removeing the drivers fully, and reinstlal them with the phone plugged into a different port.

If you already have DK17 installed, can you wipe data and all caches and start from scratch. I can't get gps to work with DK17 or any rom

[Guide] [Recovery] [Heimdall] Clockwork Mod 3.1.0.1 Purple Heimdall

Heimdall CWM 3.1 guide​
On Gingerbread, only flash Clockwork and not the Kernel.
Hi. I'm here to post a guide to installing ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1 on your Epic with Heimdall. I'm doing this because me and some other people had our phones bricked by the 3.0.2.5 one click root and this worked for me.
Step 1: Download and extract heimdall from here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
Step 2: Boot your phone into download mode by holding the 1 key and pressing power after either a battery pull or simply turning your phone off and connect it to your USB Port
If You are running Mac or Linux, skip Steps 3-5. Your drivers install automatically.
Step 3: Open Zadig.exe from /drivers in the extracted folder
Step 4: Go to options> list all devices.
Step 5: Select to Install the Samsung Android USB Composite Driver from the list.
Note: It may say it has an unknown publisher (or something similar), ignore it. I am 100% sure that it's safe.
Step 6: Download CWM from http://drockstar.devphone.org/EpicTools/cwm3.1.0.1.purple.zip
Step 7: Download Drockstar kernel from http://drockstar.devphone.org/EpicKernel/DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.05.zip
Step 8: Put the zimage from /kernel in the CWM Zip in the recovery slot
Step 9: Put the zImage from /kernel in the Drockstar Clean Kernel Zip in the Kernel slot.
Step 10: Press start and it should work.
It's quick and easy. Should only take about 5 minutes from start to finish.
I am not responsible for bricked phones or Michelle Bachann, or Sarah Palin or the Iraq War or the deficit, but I am responsible for cute puppies and rainbows and butterflies.

Thanks for the support, bro.

Purple looks so much better than the old orange/green. Credit goes to Drockstar. All I did was make a guide for Heimdall.

Well, I can confirm this will actually work... I was planning on releasing an odin tar version of the cwm bml8 kernel, for situations like that.
To clarify the issue, sometimes when bml8 is flashed with cwm, somehow that partition gets borked, and once you try to 3 finger into it, the phone won't boot normally at all.
The quickest fix to this, is using heimdall with the phone in download mode, as described in the original post of this thread. You can just flash the cwm 3.1.0.1 zImage to recovery, as described to fix it quickly, without the need to flash entire stock tar, and erasing all your data.
I will make odin tar flashes for both the cwm 3.1.0.1, and the Clean Kernel, that can be flashed with odin, for those that don't have heimdall installed yet.
Also note, that I had a lot of bml8 flash failures in testing, when the kernel was rather large, especially when pushing the limits of what the kernel could handle. This has been the main reason for me slimming down the zImage sizes for both cwm, and the Clean Kernel. Since reducing the cwm and Clean Kernel zImage file sizes, botched flashes have been very rare.
Plus, when gingerbread official is released, the *only* way to root it, will be to flash a rooted kernel with odin or heimdall, since the exploits used by one click root scripts have all been patched. As of official gingerbread for the epic, expect no one click root scripts to work with it... something I've posted already in the general section, but I doubt very many people have read.

Thank you for the warning. Sorry if I bricked your phone.
I couldn't flash CWM without the kernel on EC05.

Can someone give a simple but informative description of the difference between Heimdall CWM and OCR CWM , just to help educate some of us who are still fairly new to Rooting & ROMing ( I hope I'm not the only person who would be interested ) THX !

There is no difference. They are the same thing. This is jist another way of flashing recovery to the phone. Thats all. Its still the same cwm

Am I right in saying skip the kernel flash if you are running a non-stock (Twilight for example) kernel?

It is, but it's also available for Windows and Linux/Unix/*Nix/GNU. Also, I had better luck with Heimdall than OneClickRoot, as OneClickRoot bricked my phone, but OneClick may be better for you.

Quick guide for flashing Gingerbread KF1 and rooting

I am not responsible for brick phones. This method worked for me. If there is any confusion or something is not clear, ASK!
I see Kaik541 has a thread in Dev section for an ODIN version of KF1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14782572&postcount=1
This is for those who want to flash and root from using the tar files.
I personally always remove my external memory and sim card before using odin. It is not needed as people will obviously post and neither is doing master clear. I do these steps just to make sure I eliminate any possible issues that can occur during flashing.
1) Download Firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm
2) Flash back to stock JF6 w/ odin one-click and did a master clear.
3) Flash Gingerbread KF1 using Odin (see image attached)
4) Flash fugu kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (I attached the zImage-root.tar to post if link does not work)
In the first post look for and select the download link in step 2: (credit to nikademus)
How to use:
1: Flash the stock rom
2: Download the image for Heimdall or for Odin
3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall
4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (it is preferred to let the phone connected to usb so it does not loop boot)
5: Reflash the original kernel
5) Flash stock kernel (attached kernelKF1.7z) credit to lownox for helping me on that
6) Settings>Applications> enable Unknown Sources (AT&T finally got something right)
7) Install busybox from market
8) ENJOY!

thanks for the write up man

I want to do that but I haven't learn how to do anything beyond deodexed. I also still haven't had time to learn how to add "extras" like extended power menu or additional lock screens.
If someone wants to PM the instructions or a link to do so, I'll be happy to do and have it ready tomorrow.

Do we really need another Odin guide? Write one on heimdall. It's open source and actually maintained. It also has a lower brick rate.

Honestly I have never used Heimdall and have never had an issue with ODIN. With that said I also have no objection if anyone wants to write up the parts for Heimdall here or by PMing me, I'll add to it the first post. I am not about to reflash again just to learn a new process when the old one has not given me a single issue.

made a deodex version, just dont know what to do with it
its not ready for flash or anything and its just deodexed using illdroid.
Doesn't matter anyways until we get CWM working...

There's really nothing new to learn. It looks and loads almost exactly like Odin. Not sure what processes are different when you push the start button though. I'm not pushing heimdall, just conveying what i've seen with it. I used once to load the last Andro3.

Loving this ROM stock and all. Has anyone seen if 3e recovery (I think its called) has been enabled yet for KF1? Id like to be able to flash stuff again. Alternatively if anyone has a method for flashing items via a program that would be great as well.

[How To] Root the Rogers Infuse 4G - NOT for AT&T Infuse owners

Instructions:
1) Create a folder on your internal SD card called Voodoo. Then create another folder inside of it called disable-lagfix.
2) Make sure the Samsung USB drivers are installed. Installing Kies is a good way to accomplish this. It shouldn't matter which version of Kies you install as they all contain the same USB driver.
3) Download and unzip Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip.
4) Right click on Odin3_v1.81.exe and run it as administrator.
5) Place your phone into download mode. Do this by powering it completely off and then holding down both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable.
6) Make sure your phone shows up in Odin as COM##.
7) Click the PDA button and choose PDA_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.tar.md5.
8) Press Start.
9) If the phone doesn't automatically reboot after it completes the flash, just pull the battery and then replace it and turn on the phone.
10) You should now be rooted and see the Superuser app installed on your phone.
Optional post root procedures:
-You may want to install BusyBox from the Market after rooting. It's required by some root applications.
-If you would like to revert to the stock kernel after rooting, follow the same procedure but instead use Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip. You will not lose root by reverting to the stock kernel. If you enabled Voodoo lagfix at some point, you must disable it before reverting to the stock kernel.
-If you would like to enable Voodoo lagfix, just delete the Voodoo folder you created on your internal SD card and reboot.
-You may access CWM recovery while using the kernel you flashed to get root. To access it, power off your phone and with the phone powered off hold both volume keys and the power button for about 10 seconds and then release.
-You may install my Infused v2 ROM if you wish. Just enable Voodoo lagfix and then follow the instructions titled "Installation from stock or from Infused v1" in my thread. You will not experience the known bugs listed for the ROM like us AT&T owners.
--Downloads--
Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip
Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip
Here are the mirrors for the rogers kernels: (By threi_)
Minus folder for both (and other Rogers stuff will be added)
Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip
Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip
I do this for fun so you shouldn't feel any obligation to donate, but here's a link if you want to. Donations of any amount are very much appreciated.

Yep. ## just means some number, any number.

Com port number doesn't matter; hence the ## designation. Your computer will assign whatever I/O port is currently available. May not always be 05. just as long as you wait 'til one is assigned.

ahhh awesome thanks guys! I just wanted to double check =) I'll let you know how it goes !!

Flashing a kernel doesn't erase any data at all. The kernel is what makes the system boot and work, but it isn't tied to your apps at all.
An analogy I can think of is when you change an engine in a car(change a kernel in a phone), none of the CDs in your radio/songs on your mp3 player(apps/data on your phone) are effected at all.

kernel are backend, drivers and such. they are independent of the rom And data. roms can also be flashed without clearing data even in Odin but many devs write scripts that wipe because left over data can cause many issues, especially if there are roms for different carriers and different OS versions available.

Edit: I was rooted with GTG465x's rooting kernel for a few days , then had a couple days with lagfix on, it was much faster! Back on stock one now mostly because I REALLY missed the accelerometer sensor.
Is a fix for the sensor issue in this kernel possible? Any other known bugs?
Am I right In thinking that its best to stay out of clockwork kernels, and to flash back to e3 for daily driver duty on the phone.
Would it be feasible to get a Rogers Kernel with Voodoo and Lagfix on e3?
Thanks for any help!

Instructions:
-If you would like to revert to the stock kernel after rooting, follow the same procedure but instead use Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip. You will not lose root by reverting to the stock kernel. If you enabled Voodoo lagfix at some point, you must disable it before reverting to the stock kernel.

I hope this isn't a silly question, but...
If I just wanted to root, and stick with the stock Roger's kernel from the get-go, can I just run Odin3_v1.81.exe and select the PDA_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.tar.md5 ? OR do I absolutely need to have Infused pushed first.
Thanks! First time Android user, and looking forward to rooting this kickass device.

You need to flash the Infused kernel first and then flash back to the stock kernel. The Infused kernel is what does the rooting.

@gtg465x
So this kernel is based on stock Rogers but with root and voodoo lagfix...please correct me....thanks

No the ROOTER kernel is not stock(I believe GTG465x is source, and I flashed it before Rogers dumps were made), but its the way to root for Rogers Infuses. The phone worked fine here on that kernel, sensor issue was only one I encountered, Voodoo lagfix WAS quicker too. Be sure to follow Voodoo removal instructions before flashing back to stock kernel. The stock kernel retains root and restores perfect accelerator sensor function.
I am a USER, not a DEV ,so please correct me if I'm wrong, I have a thirst for knowledge.

[ROM] [CWM] [EC05] [EI22] Stock Heimdall Packages

Please see this new thread for up to date packages.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584346
DISCLAIMER:
The whole point of putting out Heimdall packages is to make flashing safer, faster and easier but please use some common sense and read before you wildly click on stuff. No one listed in this OP nor myself, God, Satan or any other being (Supreme deity or not) is responsible for what you do with these files. If you brick something, you did it, so man up and own your mistakes (and hopefully learn from them).
Epic Heimdall Packages:
The title should be self explanatory. Use these with Heimdall to flash your Epic back to stock or to flash CWM recovery. Do NOT re-partition unless you have an absolute good reason to (Like coming back from MTD and you know EXACTLY what you are doing). 99% of the time you will NOT need to re-partition.
Thanks to:
Nubecoder for putting these packages together
Drockstar and Rodderik for putting the purple CWM 3.1.0.1 together
Rodderik for hosting the devphone.org (Primary site and file mirror)
All I did was xfer some files and host the unlimited download server (files.devphone.org).

Big thanks to insanity213 for hosting the files for me (would cause too much BW on my server).
Now everyone can stop using Odin!!!
NOTE:: The EI22 package does not include the ei22 modem.
Also, there are no bootloaders in these packages, so I do not think you should ever re-partition with these.

THIS.
(ODIN sucks)

I never could get heimdal to recognize the epic when plugged into my imac although I haven't tried with lion. Supposedly this there was a secondary boot loader bug that got fixed on most galaxy s variants with froyo but we epic owners never got it. Works great on my PC though.

I've got a late 2006 24" iMac kickin around the basement. I'll fire it up later on tonight and see if I can get it to roll.

so teh ei22 package will give a stock install, with no mods at all? and the modem is not included?

^ this.
Just a name, and FYI the pit was ripped from my phone with Heimdall.

Are these files rooted or all they get rid of my root. I'm looking to go back to stock actually, so unrooted is preferable.
Also, is this Mac compatible?

No root, just stock.

I've not once been able to get Heimdall to work on my windows xp machine, any suggestions?

Is this deodexed I'm looking for a stock rooted deodexed tar
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

So I'm running the deodexed "mostly stock" rom, and need to bring phone in for repair. Sorry, but I can't find a ton of info on Heimdall, and I just want to get stock rom and bootloader back on there before I get it fixed and get a new phone next month. So if I get into download mode, load up the SPH-D700_ripped_stock_EI22.tar file, and hit Flash > Start, then I'm good to go? Thanks to anyone who can help!

They are not modified, so no, not deodexed.

The bootloaders are not contained in these packages.
I doubt your bootloaders have been changed though, to my understanding they haven't changed in a while (or ever).
The only other thing would be the modem...
I need to add the EC05 modem to the EI22 package, so it is a nice and easy to flash the delta update zip in cwm to get updated.

I meant recovery, not bootloader. This should replace CWM with stock I'd imagine. I already have EI22 modem, wouldn't I want to keep that?

Yes it includes the stock recovery.
And yes you would want to keep the EI22 modem (since you already have it).

Thank you for this. I finally got around to un-rooting / returning my wife's phone to stock. Now I can take it into the Sprint store. This should be the default method to return rooted phone to stock in the wiki, as it is quite easy if you follow the Heimdall instructions.

Can this be used to go back to BML from MTD instead of Odin? I'm guessing not since we can't repartition but wanted to make sure.
