Root Gingerbread 2.3.6 Official Update via ODIN + root

Can anyone update the download links?

We can't update the download link of the Original Post.... It can be changed only by the one who started this thread. But, you can find many stock firmwares at Handy Informations Maybe search for your firmware there and you will get one (I have listed most official stock firmware there)s.
