Posted new version with proper download mode notes, thanks to Kn0wBuddy, which are
hold Vdown+Power
Don't use the put included with this. I did not realize that was left in there. I will update with the correct pit once I get to my computer.
Probably a good idea posting this for those that don't have it.

Thanks! Haven't touched Odin in a while, I'm a few updates back. Good to see it'll work on our new phones... now... how come nobody has root yet?
Comming from a Evo 4g...was wondering...I looked at this and it says to hit the 1 key...I am guessing we do not need to do this for the E4T ? And I guess Odin is what we use to flash things to the phone ?
When I did the Evo, I had to do the old school root. Unrevoked and all that was not around lol..
What is Odin?
Just found out I get the phone for free with cyanogen working for Samsung will the phone be worth it or should I stick with my Evo 3d and Droid x? Plus never used Odin before really just helped people root their phones with it along time ago it just unlocks the phone right?

Right those instructions are carried over from the Epic. I will update them once I get the E4GT.

I think I read already. There were screenshots already posted. I should also have this Friday morning if Sprint doesn't open it up Thursday night or Best Buy even.
Correction. This was posted in E4GT General.
You get to *odin mode* by holding down volumne + and - keys at the same time along with the power key, release power key when device turns on while continuing to hold + and - keys untill the droid guy screen comes on, then release.
Glad to see you over here by the way Crawrj. I take it your upgrading as well. Look forward to your first plus kernel for this thing.

yeah like deano said, you can flash ANYTHING. once AdamOutler gets started on development for our device, we will be able to flash custom bootloaders like the Captivate can, for those who dont know, the Captivate was recently able to flash the Nexus S bootloader which means it is basically a Nexus S in disguise lol. Odin will also let us falsh stock and custom ROMs and kerenls as well as Modems (radios) plus recoveries such as CWM.
Also if anything screws up its ur way outta trouble...things such as "omg i'm bricked" and "help i'm stuck on the boot logo" won't be seen as much in the Q and A section as much... get to know Odin referring to people coming from EVO or any other phone Odin is ur new bff

Love Odin
Sounds cool. Ahh starting the learning all over again lol.
Odin is great. It was almost impossible to brick the Epic with it. If you get any kind of phone life, you can almost always get it back to stock and start again. Also, 30 seconds to flash a different modem. We had some great stock GB leaks with Busybox,Superuser included (thanks Crawrj.) Great tool.

I wonder if the original gsII's cwm will work for us...
can some one post a good repository or online dummy guide for those who have no clue what Odin is even still after reading these posts? I consider my self tech savy, but only getting introduce to "root" on the evo, i will be the first to admit i have a lot to learn.

Its really not that involved. All you do is put a tar file in "phone" and a pit file in "Pit" and select run and let it do its thing. Modems get flashed in "PDA" section and that's basically it. There is more detail but that's a quick rundown. I am not the most tech saavy myself but you catch on quick. I have used it 50+ times. I will try to run down a more thorough description.

from the top.
was given a free Samsung Epic because the owner had no clue what was wrong with it and had already upgraded.
started fiddling with the phone and noticed the following:
-won't boot past black and white Samsung screen
-when phone is off and plugged in, it freezes (screen looks like it's charging, but it just shows and empty battery and the spinning circle thing doesn't move)
-occasionally (before attempting several flashes), the screen would get a red tint to it. (hasn't done this since flashing several times)
-as soon as a battery is put into the phone, it powers on without needing to press any buttons.
-stock battery shows water damage, but the original owner insists the phone was never in water. i trust it because it was my brother and his fiance.
since fiddling with the phone, this has been my experience:
-flashes with Odin show as completed, but don't boot past black and white Samsung screen regardless of what was flashed.
-flashes with SWUpdater show completed, but don't boot past black and white screen.
-ordered one of those "jig"s from ebay, works beautifully, saves me the headache of trying to hit power/1 right as i put the battery in.
-phone off/charge screen still freezes
almost ready to give up, but i was hoping you folks might have some suggestions... luckily my Evo and my Moment before that never had any issues like this...
Have you tried a new cable? Redownloading the tar file? Try the tar and suggestions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
i have already tried several different USB cables as i remember that suggestion from my Evo and Moment before this, but good looking out. already tried 3 different cables with the same result...
downloading the stuff from that thread now
thanks for your help and if you have any other suggestions please don't hesitate...
currently at black and white samsung screen, said it was successful though...

Ok, in the thread I sent you to, it says pull the battery and sd card, then in Odin check all 3 boxes, repartition, reboot and f.reset. make sure to check the PIT box and include the PIT out of the Odin package and tar in the PDA section. Last resort time.

No problem. You will get it going. As long as there is life it can be fixed. Try another tar, maybe an EB13 tar and if that is successful let it update to EC05.

"SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL.tar.md5" is in the binary file for SWUpdater, can i just steal that and throw it into Odin?
I think so. Just remove the .md5 extension.

may sound silly, but also try different usb ports. specifically ones on the motherboard in back, not on the front of the box.

just to eliminate all options, make sure u try another usb cord, and also make sure u do odin right. a lot of those .tars dont actually need a pit, and also make sure that f. reset is the only box checked other than the phone one where u put the tar.

the other thread about fixing semi-brick said to have all three checked... and to use the pit.
god, this is way more complicated than my Evo or my Moment...
i know this may sound ridiculous (i thought it was) but have you tried a different cable? this happened to me once and switching cables fixed it. go figure.
So after over a year of flashing, i think i bricked my phone. I cant get into download mode. Now is my second to last option is to leave the battery out for a few hours? Last option of course..sprint but i would try to try everything out first?? Thanks in advance...
Yep leave the battery out for a bit... take the sd card out also... after a bit plug your phone into the cpu with odin up and running (with the battery out) and hold down 1 and power... now slide the battery in and out continuously until you get into download mode... hope you get it...

I was in the same boat until a few minutes ago.
For me the trick was plugging to USB cable into the back ports of my desktop PC. I had tried different ports in my laptop, the front ports of my desktop, and the battery-in-battery-out thing. I also did break down and get a cable from Radio Shack. I thought I could cheat with a powered USB hub.
Now I am back to stock EC05 Froyo. Only trick is finding a place to download an EI22 or EL30 rom now that all the mega-upload sites have been taken down.
Many thanks for all the suggestions. I almost bought an Epic Touch -- which I really don't want.
I dread the day i upgrade too...im thinking touch or the nexus that sprint is getting in march i heard. The funny thing is after i unbricked my phone..i manually upgraded to el30..rooted my phone..and stopped..im actually enjoying the stock experience lol..i guess since i havent played with it in over a year...the battery life and signal is actually pretty good..i went 13 hours with 82 percent left...impressive. I love where android is going!! I do miss CM7 doe

LMFAO ha +1 made my day. Still, I think it must be hard to drop to this level of brain capacity.
I need help, really.
So here I am, buying an Epic 4G with bad esn from Ebay, i don't care about the Bad esn, I live in Mexico, so not a single **** given, I flashed it to Iusacell, the CDMA carrier here in Mexico.
It was working very well, it had voice and data and it was OK, i had no problems with the OS.
Then, the damn day that a dude was going to buy it from me, THE !"#!" DAMN PHONE DOESN'T TURN ON!!!!
It was stucked in the "Samsung" screen, and sometimes it came trough that just to freeze on the Galaxy S screen, just once it barely turned on and showed the Unlock screen, but when i unlocked it, it rebooted ¬¬
I'm a bad-lucked-noob dudes.
As soon as I started reading I tried to flash a stock rom with Odin, but it didnt work.
Now I'm realizing that the problem is flashing the "modem.bin" image, i tried with both Odin and Heimdall and nothing worked, several sotck roms, several modems, nothing worked, IT ALLWAYS STOPS AFTER DOWNLOADING THE MODEM AT 100% AND FAILS TO UPLOAD.
Heres what Heimdall says:
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
MODEM upload failed!
And its the same every damn time :/
Please help me, I'm so about to throw it to the floor
Thank you!
What cable? Could be a crap cable and data transfer issues. Also could be the phone is corrupt... I remember reading about somebody having to return their phone cuz it kept getting stuck on the modem.bin and it was a faulty phone.

I tried with both a generic USB cable, (yes, a crappy cheap one) and also with a original HTC cable, doesn't worked on any of them.
Tell me it's not the phone, please, that would mean loosing money, isn't there another way to flash like everything?, like a master delete or i dont know, Im not familiar with Samsung devices.

I'll try the video tonight, and im also trying to get a Blackberry cable.
I'm not really shure about the tar that I'm using, as I told I'm not very familiar with the Samsung devices, but I think its like a E30 and ive seen also a F09 or something like that, I downloaded everything related that I saw.
Ok, my question is: I know the cable could cause some problems, But, Is it possible that it ALLWAYS crashes in the same exact operation?
Yes it is possible. You could also have a damaged modem area in your ROM. Try to look for the EC05 tar and try that.

ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
MODEM upload failed!
And its the same every damn time :/

Try with version 1.3.1 of Heimdall rather than 1.3.2.
If the problem persists it might be worth repartitioning (if you're not already).

I don't even know which Heimdall am i using, anyway, I'll check that..
Tell me more about repartitioning, I'm android-familiar but I'm not familiar with Samsung devices.

With Odin you check Repartition. I'm not sure on the specifics but my guess is it resets your partition table on the phone.

I allready cheked, and i do have the EC05 tar, I tried with that one several times.
Do you recomend me to use the Odin or the Heimdall?
And for both of them, can you tell me how to use it, maybe im doing something wrong, some people say with battery like in the video, others say that without battery, so confused.
thanks

Use Odin
Place the phone into download mode.
Plug it in and ensure there is a yellow box with COM# (doesn't matter what number)
Put the victoryxxxx.pit in the PIT section of Odin
Place the EC05 or which ever TAR in the PDA slot of Odin
Make sure only auto-reboot is checked and hit start.
Should take around 3 minutes or so. Factory.fs takes the longest usually so expect it to slowly load on that part.
If you would like.. i can remote control your computer with Teamviewer and ensure you get things done correctly .
If you do install teamviewer Private message me the ID and Password.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like it will work. But there's always a chance.
It goes all the way through but fails on modem.bin every time. I've only seen one other instance of this and the person needed a replacement because the modem was corrupt.
