It does work. During step 6 the app will hang, unplug your phone from the USB > Turn USB debugging off, then on again > plug it back in--it should now complete the root process. Keep in mind you must have CWM installed first.

On its own - no. All of the classic SOC holes were plugged in Gingerbread because malware was using them too.

SOC can still root a device that has an insecure kernel, such as codeworkx's CWM kernel. So you have to flash the kernel then root. (The idea is that insecure kernels have root for ADB but not for applications - so SOC uses this fact to push su and Superuser.apk to the correct locations via ADB.)

Another option is to flash a pre-rooted /system package - right now my unbrick package in dev section includes a rooted /system - flash it and you've got root, no SOC needed.
*so much sig updating needed*

An excellent post on "noobs vs. developers"

A few opinions on kernel development "good practices"

Note: I have chosen not to use XDA's "friends" feature - I will reject all incoming "friend" requests.
