root for gingerbread 2.3.3 + universal root guide

rsgarcia888 · May 3rd, 2011, 01:53 AM

Moderator Note: There are now two guides for this forum. A specific guide for the Galaxy Ace 2.3.3 and the Universal root guide for many Samsung devices (including the Ace) in the second post. Seeing how both of these are similar, we're going to keep them in the same thread. Thanks for understanding!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Download attached file and copy it to your sdcard
2. Run in maintenance mode (power + middle button)
3. Update from sdcard, select the file upd_1.zip.
4. After the update completed - reboot in normal mode.

Thats all - now you have rooted ace with android 2.3.3, and superuser in your apps.

Hey guys is gingerbread working fine on your ace without any bugs??

And what's the video recording resolution?

julian_vb · May 10th, 2011, 08:25 AM

I have installed the gingerbread version .Can you please tell how to flash my phone back to froyo version .The files to use at odin are not the same. Should i use the hole rar file in one package at Odin?

I solve my problem replacing the SD card for a new one.

yc_dgan · May 16th, 2011, 03:04 AM

Hi, for those who had installed Gingerbread on your Galaxy Ace:

Is the new firmware using Touchwiz 4.0, just like Galaxy S 2?
How about sleep of death and wifi error problems? Have these been resolved in the new firmware?

tititkukaku · May 19th, 2011, 10:32 PM

when you have rooted ace with android 2.3.3 using that aplication

how make it the android got unroot after root with the aplication upd_1

it"s possible got unroot using SOC ?

error974 · May 20th, 2011, 04:18 AM

TouchWiz is the same as in Froyo (I think). Since upgrade to 2.3.3, my phone works without any problems. No SODs (In Froyo there was sod for me).

error974 · May 20th, 2011, 04:18 AM

To unroot Ginger, just flash them again trough Odin.

can you detail the version? this is rooting dude it won't changes any kernel or rom version. just check for "superuser" app in drawer. if available then you've successfully rooted your device.

Gammer · June 9th, 2011, 01:09 AM

Is this really as simple as the instructions in the first post? I badly need my phone rooting as i'm running out of internal but all the other methods I've read on here seem a bit of a chew on.

vranjan777 · June 14th, 2011, 09:37 AM

how do i know that the phone is rooted

aish_varya · June 20th, 2011, 07:43 AM

just for the knowledge this thing worked on my leaked 2.3.4 version posted by punit in the other thread

ijohari78 · July 8th, 2011, 09:15 AM

hi all, iv tried this on my ace but i dont think it works...it still says 2.2.1 but i do now have superuser app installed. anyone have any ideas what went wrong?

jdgreat4 · July 13th, 2011, 06:44 AM

People! This is NOT an update for gingerbread, this is just to root your phone... Rooting gives you more access to your phone it does not upgrade your phone to GB.. if you want to upgrade to GB there are lot of threads on how to do that..

jdgreat4 · July 13th, 2011, 06:46 AM

and if u wanna know if ur phone is rooted.. go to applications and you will find an app called superuser.. if u have superuser then ur phone is successfully rooted

hibari999 · July 16th, 2011, 08:05 AM

hello, after i rooted my android 2.3.4

I have 2 questions

1. Is it works for 2.2.1
2. Only Rooting a phone wipes all data(apps, docs, memos, contacts etc) ?

DazMan0085 · August 1st, 2011, 03:02 PM

perfect thanks

longmanchan · August 4th, 2011, 03:45 AM

why i can't root....!?!??!
after enter "apply update from sdcard"
there are no files for me to choose, and the yellow words said " E: failed to mount/ sdcard (no such file or directory).....who can help me...?

gielnle · August 9th, 2011, 10:29 PM

Hi guys,

I've been using my s5830 for four days now after flashing it from Froyo to Gingerbread 2.3.4

Do anyone experience about 1.5 sec response before the unlock screen appears?

And also, I experience setting the phone in Vibrate / Silent, but when I receive an SMS message, the message alert tone goes off and the phone is not on silent mode anymore.

Is there any fix for this? Or do I just have my setting wrong?

Note:
I rooted my phone and set an mp3 file as message alert tone

DekHog · August 19th, 2011, 04:02 PM

Just installed 2.3.3 and I've just tried this and get the following after selecting the zip file:

Applying Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/h3g/system'
Installation aborted

Anyone any ideas?

DekHog · August 21st, 2011, 09:08 AM

Does anyone actually ever get a reply to anything in here?

rovernet · August 21st, 2011, 05:30 PM

Works great in Samsung Galaxy Ace with gingerbread 2.3.3 from Vodafone Spain.

Thanks, great work.

jimmac49 · August 27th, 2011, 09:37 AM

rsgarcia888,

Many thanks, I have been trying for ages to root my phone, with your advice
done in minutes.

Again many thanks.

afraaa · September 2nd, 2011, 11:56 PM

hi every one

i am on the official 2.3.4 gingerbread with galaxy ace , can i use this method to root my phone ?

im w8 for yourhelp

Jinyi16 · September 3rd, 2011, 06:06 AM

Thnx man you are srsly awesome.

angelo90255 · September 6th, 2011, 02:01 PM

So this means that Gingerbread 2.3 can be rooted already ? I want to root my HTC Evo 4G..... Thanks in advance

Jorjeus · September 9th, 2011, 02:04 AM

I just got my new Galaxy Ace which came directly with Andoird 2.3.3.
I can say it is one of the most disappointing products that I purchased.
The phone looks great and I was glad that it had already 2.3.3 on it as specs said 2.2. It moves nice and also good interface both hard and software.

BUT I COULD NOT USE THE PHONE FOR MORE THEN 2-3 MINUTES CONTINOUSLY.

It resets and blocks and hangs when using the most basic and simple operations. When put to charge I can it shuts down after a while and I can started only after removing and puting back the battery.

I'm rather now in opinion that quality assurance of Samsung is null. I had last year again a new phone from Samsung and it came with the camera not working from factory.

Can anyone confirm similar problems with Galaxy Ace?

DekHog · September 9th, 2011, 02:26 AM

@Jorjeus - No problems with mine, but if it's a new phone as you say, why have you not returned it for another one as it's obviously faulty?

No - your ace is F***ED take it back and get it changed for a non-broken one. All phone makers have problems. I know countless people that have had dodgy HTC,Iphones etc.

Try in the HTC Evo (called 4g but not actually 4g) forum.......

Jorjeus · September 9th, 2011, 05:03 AM

Of course I returned the phone. I bought it online so it will take some time until it is solved. My fear was that this can be a sofware issue. If it is then the entire stock from the vendor it may be the same.

crazyio · September 9th, 2011, 06:51 AM

hello ppl !!

i would like to root my Samsung Galaxy Ace with that way but i would like to know if i want after to UNROOT my device how can i do it ?

Is there any mentioned problems in Gingerbread in Greece with Vodafone ?

Thanks in advance.

reddypidugu · September 16th, 2011, 09:53 AM

You just rooted your device ... you didn't update your Rom

there are two different things !
