Is there somewhere we can check this or were we basically supposed to keep track?

If you watch the video he will show you how to check it.

Sorry for my noobness... but why would we need to reset your flash count?

When you root with Odin it tracks how many times you've done so. In some cases Sprint or Samsung can deny warranty repairs on your phone if you have rooted or installed custom recovery or mods to your phone.

Sprint has changed their policy to allow rooted phones to be covered for hardware repairs but many like to be sure. So reseting your flash count and installing the stock firmware will eliminate any worries that warranty work well be refused.

What about where it says "system status = custom?" Isn't that a red flag too?

That will go away when you return your phone to stock. Which is what you will do if you're going to be returning the phone.
