[Q] Root for Samsung Galaxy W GT-i8150 - General Questions and Answers

Does anyone know of a Root method for the Samsung galaxy W running Android 2.3.6? I have previously used DoomLords Root Tool when i was running 2.3.5 and it worked like a charm. But after unrooting to do a firmware update it no longer works.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks

[Q] How to root 2.3.6 on Galaxy S Plus?

Solved: I managed to root 2.3.6 incredibly easy after finding this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707
============================================================
Hello, I've searched posts on here and google to little avail.
I upgraded firmware on my i9001 from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6
However 2.3.6 won't work with superoneclick, z4root etc and seems a hard one to root.
If anyone could provide a way to root it without too much trouble, I'd be most appreciative
I'm stuck with bloatware again at the moment and an annoying number of apps trying to run in the background causing slowdown.
Info:
Model: Samsung Galaxy S plus
Firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I9001 BUKP7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BUKP7
I have the solution plz wait till i return from school and i give you the link to flash Root in your galaxy S+ already tested in my friend phone

Can someone please help me update from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2?

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH D710VMUB Virgin Mobile running 4.0.4 and want to update to 4.1.2. I have searched all over the internet for help but nothing for my specific model. I don't want to update to the latest android version. I really need the help and very much appreciate the assistance. Will I have to root? I am fine with that, but i will need to know every step to get my device to 4.1.2. Thank you very much!

Build number : IMM76l.FL26
