Root root for gingerbread 2.3.3 + universal root guide

[fallenangelvk]

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.

U are a freaking life saver

soo I'm totally new to this hole thing, so just before i do it wrong (i need idiot proof instructions)

1. Download attached file and copy it to your sdcard

just anywhere on the sdcard...does it not matter?

3. Update from sdcard, select the file upd_1.zip.

no idea how man "updates from sdcard" ??


i've no idea what bricking it is but i'm pretty sure its something i don't want to be doing, so all help much appreciated

Hi,

im on 2.3.4.
I tried the steps provided and copied the file to my sdcard in Ace.
Den when i do the 3 button on, they only show a box on the top left hand corner

"RAMDUMP Mode
" (ARM9 MODE)

and it does not continue. the rooting process. any idea what happened ?

 

[Qcubed]

Rooting doesn't work ion my phone either

2.3.4

Get E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7) installation aborted

perfect thanks

Hi people,

I think the instructions in the first post may not be so clear to all, so I will add more steps to make things clearer.

1. Download the attached file to your pc.
2. Rename the file as update.zip
3. Connect your phone to your pc using the cable.
4. Transfer the file update.zip from your pc to your phone.
5. The directory should be F:\... (This is the main directory of the SD card. Need not be F drive, but you should know which external drive)
6. Use safe eject on your pc to unmount your phone.
7. Disconnect your phone from your pc. (You can detach the cables now)
8. Switch off your phone.
9. Hold both the power button and middle button (You will find this easier if you hold the middle button first then the power button(without releasing the middle button)) - This is because holding the middle button alone will not do anything, but holding the power button alone will switch on the phone
10. The screen will boot up now.
11. Use the Volume Down button on the left of the phone to select "Update from update.zip".
12. After the update is completed, simply choose "reboot in normal mode".


Cheers

I used Galaxy ACE running on Gingerbread 2.3.3
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKPY

 

[gottard]

ptl, thanks for your clarifications

now also my Gingerbread 2.3.3 (GINGERBREAD.XWKPY) is rooted successfully!

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?

having the same problem ?

 

[chrcol]

thanks I rooted fine, very simple process.

The only confusing part was when holding the buttons down.

So do like this.

1 - power phone off.
2 - hold down the middle button and whilst holding it down then start holding down the power button.
3 - when the samsung logo appears let go of the power button but keep holding the middle button.
4 - the recovery mode should appear.

Will this work on 2.3.6 official update?

 

[steveulent]

I've just done it on official 2.3.6 and seems okay. . .

 

[Getmeabeer]

I tried this and when I enter the maintenance mode there is"can't access to ' system/csc/WIN/system" does this mean I cannot root my phone?
Thanks.

I think you will have to rename 'Universal_GB_ROOT_v5.zip' to 'Update.zip' before hitting the 'update from sd card' button, else you will get 'Update.zip not found' error in the recovery.

On my samsung galaxy mini even if i named the zip file HomerSimpson.zip I have no problem to apply it...problem is many people before rooting have disable the option unknown sources and you must create folder so the zip file can be found or you will get a message the procedure cannot continue and they usualy have this error in the end E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)
