Attached is the .pit file containing the partition mapping for the Epic 4g Touch. I extracted it using Heimdall. Interestingly, Heimdall on OS X Lion works with the Epic 4g Tough out of the box, which was not the case with the OG Epic 4g, which still doesn't have the updated sbl.bin to work with heimdall on a Mac.

Use at your own risk, I am not responsible if you brick your new toy, blah blah blah, etc etc etc.

This .pit file contains the partition map for the device. It tells Odin and Heimdall (another piece of flashing software, which i find to be MUCH better than Odin) where to flash the different files such as the boot.bin, sbl.bin, zimage (kernel), system, data, cache, recovery, modem, etc. Without the .pit file, Odin may not know where to flash a file, and you could end up with a soft bricked device. AFAIK, there isn't anything we can flash yet. We need to wait for someone to take the stock Epic 4g Touch kernel and add CWM, root, su and busybox.

Yeah, especially when whoever does it first will probably get some free publicity in the form of a nice write-up

The incredible thing about this phone is that even with all the carrier and samsung bloat, it just flies. There is absolutely no slowing down this phone. The only area we will really improve is battery life, which seems pretty solid so far as well.
