When you download rar file, do extract here, then there should be a .tar md5 file. Thats the one you want to flash with odin. Press pda (not phone) then select tar file, then press start and be very patient, it can take a little while

2.2 update will never come

I am extremely disappointed with verizon's response to pushing out an update to this phone. I bought mine first day it came out and was told 2.2 would be about 1 month away. My other option was a Droid X.
I am happy with the Samsung performance but I have come to the conclusion that Verizon will let this phone Die out with 2.1 and we will never get update.
They release new phones constantly and can't afford to lose sales to fascinate if it where updated. It's a numbers game because they need to sell x amount of new phones they committed to.
Shame on Verizon because most of us were told we would get this update.
Shortly the US will have only two providers AT&T and Verizon and both have horrible customer support.

Well that wa the point of using the odin method, it would root you and upgrade you to froyo... are you still on 2.1?
