•0) If your Epic is rooted then create a backup

•1) Open odin 1.85, select pda, select SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL.tar.md5, enter download with phone (hold 1 and power button), uncheck all but auto-reboot, select start

•2) Setup wi-fi, manually update to latest & greatest Android OS (menu, settings, about phone, updates, update android). Obviously, you'll have to reset your phone in between each update.

•3) Open odin 1.85, select pda, select kernel-GB-3a.tar.md5, enter download mode on phone (hold 1 and power button), uncheck all but auto-reboot, select start

•4) Open odin 1.85, select pda, select ACSRecovery5-1.0.0.0-epic4g.tar.md5, enter download mode on phone, uncheck all but auto-reboot, select start

•5) Turn on USB debugging, connect Epic to USB, turn on mass storage

•6) Place Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and GPS_FIX.zip onto sdcard

•7) Note: this is a good place to create a backup so that you have a pre-rooted version of Android EL30 to restore to when future updates are released.

•8) Enter clockwork with phone (hold low volume, camera, and power button), install zip from sdcard, Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip, reboot system

•9) Enter clockwork with phone, install zip from sdcard, GPS_FIX.zip
