- Connect your android (USB)

- Scroll down menu on android and "Connect storage to PC"

- Click My Computer (Windows) and select your device (You should see your files)

- Open another File window

- Right click and cut the Root.zip file to the main page on your androids folders

- It will appear on the "My Files", "Astro" or whichever file manager you use

Is the unroot.zip working? I haven't tried it yet but have read all the posts and some members have failed with the unrooting so I came to ask :)

I'm still with warranty so I can't root unless I have a working unroot method :D
Thanks for the replies...

please help this total noob

so it would appear that i have gotten as far as having the super user icon on to my telstra prepaid ace but after using the root check app it would appear that the phone is not rooted but busy box was successful (i must admit i have no idea what these really are )
in the superuser app I have nothing in the list so i went in to settings/prefrences and tried to update it it but got "failed to find currently installed su binary update could not continue "
So i downlaoded the app Su update fixer and got " fix failed try downloading and flashing an update zip from andriodsu.com (but i could no find this zip on this site)

I really have no idea what to do next or if I have done some thing wrong
and would love some help

Hi, i just bought a galaxy ace v2, unblocked and as many others. i soon faced the internal memory too low message. i looked for solutions and rooting seems the only solution.

for some reason whatever option i tried it didn't work

- superoneclick always gets stuck somewhere along the way
- galaxysrooter file installs but then i get a sdcard working properly message?
- and with your method i can't get the file into recovery mode. tried the volume/power button combo aswell as the home/power button combo, the phone just keeps switching on as normal (once it went into some odin mode, which i immediately left as it looked wrong)

please help.

if i don't have to root the phone that's fine as well as all i want is a sensible level of internal memory so the phone keeps running smoothly, but as this seems not a possibility how can i solve my rooting issues?

THANKS A MILLION in advance.

Andy

    If you’ve upgraded your Ace’s firmware to the official gingerbread update you might know that SuperOneClick rooting method doesn’t work anymore. Luckily there is another method involving installing a zip file from recovery which I’m going to explain now. This method is actually better since you don’t have to connect the ace to a computer. You can root and unroot on the fly. So in this tutorial I’ll be showing you how to root AND unroot you Samsung galaxy ace!
    Caution: In my experience nothing has ever gone wrong with rooting. There is always that slight chance something can mess up. Use caution and only do this if you want to. I am not responsible if anything happens (but I really don’t think anything will happen if you do everything right) :D Also rooting voids your warranty but don’t worry, unrooting should give it back like nothing ever happened.!!
    Download the two zip files I’ve attached below

    How to Root the Galaxy Ace 2.3

    1. Copy the Root.zip file (download below) into your sd card. You can even put it in a folder if you want.

    2. Turn your phone off

    3. Boot your phone into recovery mode. To do that, hold HOME+POWER buttons. When the screen turns on and you see the Samsung logo, let go of POWER but keep holding HOME. After the Galaxy Ace logo shows up and disappears, you should enter recovery mode. You can let go of HOME now.

    4. Now in recovery mode, you can scroll up and down using the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons and select using the HOME button.

    5. Scroll to the second option “apply update from sdcard” and press HOME to select.

    6. Scroll to the Root.zip file and select it (if you put it in a folder, find and open that folder and then select Root.zip

    7. After it’s done installing, select “reboot system now” and wait for the phone to reboot

    8. To check if your phone is rooted, go to you app drawer and look for an app called superuser with an icon of a pirate android with cross bones. If you see it, your phone is rooted.


    Congrats! You’ve officially rooted you galaxy ace!!
    Now what if you want to go back to unrooted for some reason , or just for the heck of it?? It’s easy. Very similar to rooting

    How to Un-root the Ace 2.3:


    1. Download unroot.zip (below) and put in sd card

    2. Turn off the phone and boot into recovery (refer to step 3 above)

    3. Install the unroot.zip (similar to step 5 and 6 above)

    4. Restart phone (incase you’re THAT stupid, refer to step 7 above)

    5. Look in the app drawer and if all went well, the superuser icon should no longer be there!!!

    Note: I've tested the unroot.zip and it works for me. But just incase it still doesn't work you can use a root explorer and delete some files to unroot:-

    -Open up market and download "ES File Explorer" (or if you have any other root explorer you can use that).
    -Open ES files explorer, tap menu, go to settings, go to the "Root settings" section and enable "Root Explorer" and "Mount file system" (you have to be rooted to do this)
    -go back and tap Favorites in the top left corner and select "/". Now go to system/app/ and find and delete "Superuser.apk". PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! dont delete anything other than the files I mention.
    -go back to system/ and open the "xbin" folder and delete the following files and ONLY THESE FILES!!!:
    1. busybox
    2. sh
    3. sqlite3
    4. su
    5. su-v1
    6. su-v2
    7. su-v3
    -restart phone

    Your ace is now un-rooted! It’s that simple. Hope I’ve helped! I’m not sure this method works for froyo, but there are plenty of tutorials for rooting froyo ace as well.

    Note: the root and unroot zip files are not mine. Got them from some nice people on the internet and then renamed them! :p

    I got the root.zip from http://androidforums.com/ace-all-things-root/328648-galaxy-ace-root-gingerbread-2-3-3-a.html ......... on this site the zip is originally named upd_1.zip

    The unroot.zip is from here http://www.tutebox.com/3708/mobile/how-to-unroot-samsung-galaxy-ace-with-android-2-3-4-or-2-3-3/ ….. the zip was originally named update.zip

    Thanks to the people who made these zips!!

    [This is a tutorial on how to root and unroot the official Galaxy Ace GINGERBREAD (android 2.3). It won’t work for the froyo (android 2.2 version). If you google you should find guides on rooting ace froyo. If you can’t (which I doubt) you can request me to make a tutorial on rooting the galaxy ace on android 2.2]

    Hi,
    Tried the root zip file to root a samsung galaxy Ace S5830T running 2.3.4 and GINGERBREAD.DVKQ3 but failed with following errors:

    Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
    (Status 7)
    Installation aborted.

    any ideas ...

    I have the same problem on mine. I have the Galaxy Ace S5830D and I'm running the Root.zip at the very top of this thread.

    Using GINGERBREAD.DTLKI4 in Canada....Koodo phone.
