Direct download link for Odin 1.85 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment...13&d=1304094576

The stock kernels are to be used to restore the kernel version after rooting and are not needed for updating the firmware.
You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the firmware.

Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray! Kies doesn't like Odin, it's like the big brother who's always jealous that his little brother is getting to flash all the phones so he starts to flash block.

You can use Tegrak Overclock Ultimate to overclock both the CPU and GPU and control all the voltages when running a stock kernel. No need for a custom kernel.

Yeah, but the stock rom can overclock to what maximum speed??


Lucky number 3.. =D
