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.

I flashed CWM and CWM is working and got root but I didnt know it flashed a I9100 kernel too. Well, at least there's source code, I should be all good to go once I can compile an original kernel.

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.

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.

Kk guys, uploading to megaupload now...this is definitely gonna take a while
It should be a complete phone image, writing over every partition (as is the case with all Samsung tars)...there's definitely a modem in it, but as far as pulling it, I don't know, I'm not knowledgeable enough about pulling things out of tars.
I'm going to put a link in here first before posting it up in development because I need somebody to test it in Odin. We use a pre-packaged .exe here to flash phones, so Im not able to test it with Odin (though I can't foresee it failing as the tars have always been identical to the ones we use here at xda). So when it's up, please test and let me know.
Hang tight for a while, megauploads quoting the ETA at 2 hours....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I think it would definitely be cool to upload this for us. Easy way for everyone to flash back to factory. Might even root now if this is the correct stock file.
Actually scratch that ETA, our neighbors wifi is too slow, I'm gonna have to wait until I get home at 6. So sometime tonight

There was a request for theme templates for the ET4G, so i though i would upload mine that i use.
Q: What is a theme template?
A: This is the base for every themers build. This can be comnsidered the foundation in which you start. If you are new to this and have found Dreamsforgotten tutorial on theming, you will see that he refers to this for the starting point.
Q: How do i use this?
A: There are two ways to use this. You can use this to return your phone to a clean slate if you have flashed a theme , or you can use this to build you theme and flash it through CWM.
In building this i have found a couple of interesting facts.
1: if you flash this and get an ERROR STATUS 0 you need to toggel the asserts in recovery. Make sure they are enabled.
2: if you build you own updater-script and get a ERROR STATUS 6, you have a syntext error in your script
Use this one for EG30
Use this one for EG31 - there are minor diffrences between the two, pointed out by Calk, so i decided to make both. His Quote!!
Happy Flashing, And PLEASE remember to hit the thanks button on the way through
Just to be clear, these are stock themes pretty much right?

Wait not all sr roms work with your phone? Why not? Every rom should. But if there is a difference between your phones, i suggest holding out.

Hey there, same thing has happened to me. It however did not effect my flash. I believe it is in the kernel that you are flashing. Most roms reflash their own kernel so it doesnt matter but you can use a different cwm kernel and it will not happen.

It is the kernel. I think it's an el26 CWM direct boot. I had the same thing and your right it doesn't or I should say didn't affect my flash but I would recommend using el29 from rwilco's repository.
