Or flash a zip of a real rom like CM or MIUI and never have to see touchwiz, lol. i'll use this to get the fc09 modem, the el30-fc09 zip didn't work.
Might want to update your instructions with info on checking repartition...

I just got my Epic 4G back to play with again, after 11 months! is this the most current stock ROM for the device? would love to know how to root it!
Why is it necessary? Stock ROM repartition by default. Adding a PIT just is an extra command if you needed to do a different structure. Even if you have changed your partitions, this is revert it anyways.
Can anyone confirm this? Or is the inclusion of the victory pit necessary to prevent soft-bricking?
Noobnl recommends that the PIT is used.
You need to check re partition if you are on MTD. If on BML you don't need to check re partition.
Interesting, maybe I need to hit up my old friend. Meanwhile, checking repartition without selecting a PIT doesn't do anything different I don't think. If you run the .md5 through ODIN on your Epic one of the first things it does is pull the PIT and repartitions the device at the very beginning. Isn't that all that needed? I'm not argueing, I'm just trying to learn and verify what I know
From what I've been told you need the PIT file when checking re partition. I dont think its necessary if you dont check it
I can confirm that following all the steps that we have done before to go back to stock and then rooting all just worked for me. Like Qbking said if you are on MTD you have to make sure that repartition is checked. I just flashed SU and I am good to go. I like flashing new stuff and playing around with my phone so I thought I would give it a go. Thanks for this Whosdaman!!!

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the thread, but if this helps anyone, these are the steps I took to ROOT after updating to FC09......
1.) ODIN - CWM5.0.2.7 tar (Place In PDA Slot)
a.) Auto-Reboot is UNCHECKED
b.) Remove the battery then re-insert the battery
2.) 3-finger to recovery + flash SU.zip (from sd card)
Then boot to system: you're now on rooted stock w/ CWM recovery........
Next:
1.) Flash your choice of custom ROM through CWM

Can you make a back up while unrooted, flash this, then restore data?? It's been so long since I havn't been rooted so I have no clue lol. Wanted to know because my roommate with the same phone is interested, but he doesnt want to lose his data.
Just root what he has now and make a backup. Then flash and root this, and advance restore data.
