I just got odin working.
What I had to do was take the whole setup to my dfi nf2.

Eventually, with some hassle mind ya, I got all the drivers working on that, though there is no way of me testing the mass storage type of stuff without an sdcard right now.

But I was able to flash cwm recovery + root thingy that came form the link I posted above.
And I was quickly able to root it, and test root with adb shell, su command.
I'm pretty darned happy now , .

I gotta back this thing up though before start doing anymore.
I wanna start adding a few apps, at least the network logger I found and tested on the emulator.
But I really gotta back this thing up.
It would probably easy with cwm recovery and an sdcard but I don't have that option right now.
I'm gonna have install busybox and tar up the entire thing and send it to my pc using adb.
Gonna have to do a little bit more reading on that exact method though before I attempt it.

I did back up some stuff before from the system folder for a test and that did work before I got root and such.
So I have some hope.

Shame I see no apps to use the ir led as a thermometer.
That would of been cool...
