[Solved] How to root Samsung Epic 4G Gingerbread 2.3.6 (FC09)?

Ever since I upgraded my Samsung Epic 4G to latest Gingerbread 2.3.6, I've missed out on Free Wifi Hotspot. I never really needed a Wifi Hotspot on my mobile phone as I'm always near a wireless network. Yesterday, my Comcast went down and I really needed to use Internet but nothing was available so here I am again rooting my Samsung Epic 4G. There were quiet a few websites offering information about rooting Samsung Epic 4G, but I found the following resource very useful.

In a nutshell, the instruction is very simple.

1. You'll have to download a USB driver for your phone so that your PC can talk to your phone. Here is the link where you can download a driver.

5. Once you have downloaded all the binaries you'll need from above links, transfer a pre-rooted BML ROM to your "download" folder in your phone.

6. Run the Odin as an administrator and click PDA button and choose the Clockworkmod flash ROM file you've just downloaded. Uncheck "Auto Reboot". Power off your phone, and click 1 AND Power On button at the same time to boot your phone into a DOWNLOAD mode.

7. Connect your phone to your PC with a micro USB cable. A number should appear on Odin where ID COM is shown. If you don't see a number, you may have to disconnect and reconnect your Phone to your PC with a micro USB cable. If that doesn't work, you may have to use a different micro USB cable. Once Odin sees your phone, click on the "Start" button to transfer Clockworkmod flash ROM to your phone. If download is successful, you'll see a green "PASS" shown on the larger square above the ID COM number.

8. Disconnect your phone from PC, and remove the battery and reinsert the battery. This time, click Volume Down button, Power button and Camera button at the same time to boot your phone to clockworkmod ROM.

9. Use Volume Up or Down key to navigate to a downloaded BML ROM, and use Camera button to select the choice. Scroll down to "Install Zip from SD Card", select the pre-rooted BML ROM and install it. It will overwrite the exiting ROM with a pre-rooted ROM, and when it comes back up you'll have the "Superuser" application already installed on your phone.
