Root root for gingerbread 2.3.3 + universal root guide

[rsgarcia888]

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]

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?

E:failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)

Any help would be great

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]

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]

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]

To unroot Ginger, just flash them again trough Odin.

try rename it to "update.zip"

i had the same problem,then i changed the file name from upd_1.zip to update.zip,it did installed,but when the installation done,my phone still in the same version after i reboot...need help...

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]

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]

how do i know that the phone is rooted

 

[aish_varya]

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

 

[ijohari78]

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]

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..
