Does anyone know what the latest info on rooting this phone? It seems everything I find with google search is dated up to Feb. 2012.

Is the wifi issue I've read been solved (losing wifi)? It seems to be related to the 2.3.5 Rom, I think.

Any ideas/questions/suggestions with rooting this phone? Also, how would I go about rooting within Linux instead of Windows?

Thnx.

Although you have probably found your answer, I just noticed this post... the latest rooting information is exactly the same. Flash in CWM Recovery with ODIN/Heimdall, then flash Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip, and that is it to rooting.

The problems arise when switching ROMs or kernels, there are no custom kernels that support the latest firmware, although there are some debloated/deodexed stock ROMs that use the stock kernel, and a "Tweaker" ROM that supports the stock kernel as well. As long as you stick with the stock kernel and a compatible ROM/firmware, you shouldn't have any issues with WiFi.
