Help Please, I need to root and install a better ROM on my EPIC

[mookiemoo]

I have an epic with the gingerbread rom from Samsung on it. I wanted to root it and install a better rom that would not suck up all my ram but ran into a problem. I am operating on a 64bit computer and seems that ODIN is 32bit. I can not get it to work on my computer with windows 7 64bit. Can anyone shed light for me as to how I root my phone and proceed with a better rom? Thanks.

I am using windows 7 64bit and odin works fine. As stated you need 64bit drivers.

I had the same problem as the OP and the drivers helped. HOWEVER, I had to uninstall all the drivers then reinstall them again.....

Minor problems that could cause Odin failures (once you have the right drivers) include the crappy Sammy usb connection cord. I switched to a Blackberry cord and everything worked better. You might also might try connecting using a different usb slot on your PC if you're not getting the results you want.

Also, I had to connect to a USB on my monitor, not CPU!

At work I have to connect to the USB ports on the back of the tower...directly connected to the mother board...front slots just don't cut it.
