How to root Galaxy SL (i9003) Gingerbread 2.3.6 XXKPU

I have updated my firmware to Gingerbread 2.3.6 XXKPU and I did not find an easy way to root this firmware.  I had searched enough on web and did not find anything which I thought would work. Tried few promising methods but they did not work.

Lastly I was seeing too many places mentioning about the CF-Root and was wondering what is this. I happen to see a video which shows the PDA to be replaced with the CF-Root corresponding to the XXKPU binary, which can be downloaded form the links in the post here.

Here you can download the CF root for many of the i9003 firmwares. Infact, what ever is your phone (Samsung) you can almost follow the same procedure, and you need to find the right CF-root file. Then the flashing procedure can be found on this you tube video here. Hope this helps everyone.
