The (Windows) software is attached. USE THE ATTACHED VERSION. DO NOT USE AN OLDER VERSION. A lot of you will be familiar with ODIN from other Samsung devices... well, it works exactly the same on this device.
Turn off your device, turn it on again by holding volume-down and power to enter ODIN download mode.
Launch the ODIN software, press the PDA button and select the .tar file you extracted from the .zip file you downloaded.
Make sure in the ODIN program "Re-Partition", "Phone EFS Clear", and "Phone Bootloader Update" are NOT checked.
Connect the Android device with your computer and you should see a yellow box in the ODIN program. Press the "Start" button, wait a minute or so, and your device will be booted with this firmware.
Also see the attached image, which has every box you need to look at circled in red

Do you loose root and boot loader is locked again if you flash this 53F?
You will lose root. If you have CWM recovery installed you can just flash a Superuser package through recovery, as CWM is not overwritten by this flash.
This flash does not include bootloaders, and will not re-lock your bootloaders.
(It even appears ODIN will unlock your bootloader if it was locked)

Also really would like to see cf-root kernels...used them alot on my sgs1 and sgs2...always the best kernels for me
Can't confirm because I don't know. I have only had the charging issue when using custom kernels, the stock kernel had no issue for me.
Not sure if I will release a CF-Root... as this device has a separate recovery partition, there is not that much need for CF-Root... It's still handy though, of course.
Should the bootloaders prove needed and/or helpful, I will release a separate bootloader package so you can flash those later.
