I followed all your instructions,
my Samsung is rooted now, I see Superuser in Applications,
everything works perfect !!
SG ACE, Android 2.3.3, XWKPW

Before I tried:
- SuperOneClick 2.1.1 - frozen at Step 6,
- Z4Root - nothing done,
- Universal AndRoot - I found only version for Android 2.2......

and now Im happy with your solution !!!!
THANKS!!!!

-This file *must* be renamed to "update.zip"
-Note that since the original file is a zip file, your phone may read it as update.zip.zip, leave it like this.
-Place the file in the parent directory of your sd card
-Follow the author's advice as stated in the start of this thread
-Profit.

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.

Thanks a lot, Worked on Gingerbread 2.3.5
