2.3 gingerbread - how to root Galaxy SL GT i9003 for DDLF2

I am running official Samsung ROM build version 2.6.3 DDLF2. I wish to root it for reverse tethering and few other utilities. Need a trusted link for rooting tutorial or a rooting package for the same.

Answer

Your device seems to be quite easy to root.

1. Make sure you have Samsung Kies installed.


2. Download Odin 1.8.3


3. Go here and download the appropriate file for your firmware. To find out you firmware's version, you can run dumpstate on the phone (via adb shell or any terminal application). The fifth line of the output will contain the version identifier (like Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKPG).


4. Start your phone in download mode. Switch off your phone, and restart it while holding power + volume down + home


5. Enter download mode and plug your phone into your PC.


6. Start Odin and put the firmware you just downloaded into the PDA box.



7. Click Start. Your phone should reboot after a while.


8. Congratulations! You are now rooted!


9. Switch off your phone and reboot into Recovery by holding volume up + home + power.


10. Wipe Dalvik Cache.


11. Reboot.
