I downloaded this through the xda link Epic4GTouch/kernel/ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel/SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v6.02beta.zip but when I try to flash through odin it doesnt see it as a .tar file??? Am i missing something here?
Because it's a zip file. It's flashable only thru CWM. Odin requires .tar files.

I want to flash a modem with mobile odin since I am not using a repack kernel. I didn't find a tar file but I found a zip file. Can I extract the modem.bin and then in mobile odin lite select modem and browse to where the modem.bin is and select it and then flash? Or does it have to be a tar file? I am new to mobile odin but I really like it.
Well normally you would pull the modem.bin file out of the ZIP and flash it, but it won't work on our phone. I haven't been able to get a single modem.bin file or any of Calk's modem TAR files to flash in Mobile Odin. It just goes through the motions. Supposedly it will flash the modem from a full TAR image though.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will Odin the repack with recovery and flash the modem and flash the stock kernel back then.

If for some reason you don't like the repacks, you can also install the stock FB27 zImage and it should flash the modems (they ignore signature failures in FB27 stock recovery) Same number of steps as installing a CWM repack except you will always be running pure stock software (I figure there must be a reason you haven't installed a CWM repack already)
How to ? Mobile Odin cannot recognize the modem.bin file, it's only recognize the .tar file

Though I don't use it, I believe Mobile ODIN recognizes modem.bin and tar. It just doesn't flash modem.bin on CDMA systems.
Flashing the modem with the actual odin does not raise any flash counters or cause any yellow triangles. Why not just do it thru odin?

In order to save my phone, I need the modem flash for file t889 that can be used with Odin and not CWM. Please advise.
Unzip CWM version , you will have Zimage ( Odin file). If I'm not wrong.

thanks for the suggestion. However, in the zip file there's the modem.bin, and the flash_image file and a folder with other stuff. I am uncertain which one to extract. (yes, I am googling this as I ask.)
the modem.bin file is the one you need. would you mind posting a link to the CWM zip you have of the modem? been looking for it..
My experience with Odin and modem cross-flashing is that is fails before writing anything. (T889-LJ1 on T889, T889V-LJ4 on T889V and so on should work. Other partitions made with this method work flawlessly, so I'm guessing there's an additional check in the bootloader for modem images.)
Anyway, here goes. Those files were made by extracting from their respective Odin images, from Sammobile and tarring with the Cygwin tar binary.
