[How to] root Samsung Galaxy Ace Running Android 2.3 Gingerbread

Previously I teach you How to upgrade samsung galaxy ace to android gingerbread 2.3 . Now its time to use android at its best after rooting , yes you heard right rooting for galaxy ace gingerbread is ready to rock. You can follow this easy guide and enjoy rooting. If you dont know much about rooting and dont know what are benefits of rooting then first read this guide before doing anything with your phone

Who upgraded their phone to gingerbread can follow below Guide to Root their phones and IF you not upgraded samsung galaxy ace to gingerbread android you have to upgrade it first. and than follow this guide

Okay Lets start :-D

  1. Download the file from here
  2. Load the file on the SD card phone
  3. Switch off your phone and on again in recovery mode (Hold down the center button and turn on the phone)
  4. Move with the balancing of the volume on “update from SD card”
  5. Select the file into memory AceGingerbread2.3.3Root.zip SD
  6. Wait until the confirmation screen
  7. Click on “reboot in normal mode” to restart the phone

Now the phone should have received permission to root properly, first check if the application menu icon found Superuser.

Note that for the moment the only way to make unroot, or disable root permissions, is to restore the factory records of the phone. Please note that this is a delicate procedure, we do not assume any responsibility in case of problems, but if you follow Guide step by step care, nothing will happen

  16. Dear Kuldeep,

    I am a galaxy ace user from malaysia, i would like to upgrade my ace from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 and root it right after upgrading my ace in few more days. Dear kuldeep, i would to ask will 2.3.4 affect the gps of ace? ace have a very weak gps.. 1more last question dear frd, do rooted 2.3.4 support FasterFix apps from android market? hope to see your reply soon dear Kuldeep, you are the best guy i’ve ever seen. Thanks, really appreciate your hard works .

    • Thanks for your kind words , actually you are real Guy.

      After upgrading to 2.3.4 there is little improvement in GPS and internet , some users are saying wi-fi giving some errors. and all apps that are supported by 2.2 , are absolutely supported by 2.3.4

      • Dear kuldeep, you are so welcome my bro.

        I just upgraded to 2.3.4, ITS WORKING FLAWLESSLY!!!!!!!!! very smooth and everything works fine~! thx dear kuldeep… i have already joined your blog ^^

        Oh ya kuldeep, i have another silly question to bother you 1 more time.. have do i change the setting in gps of gingerbread? or any apps other than fasterfix to improve the gps? hehe.. thx kuldeep.. you r my man!

        • happy to hear that :) you can configure setting as you want .

          actually i really hates android when it comes to GPS , there is no best navigation app available, i am also waiting for app like ovi maps

          Nokia Ovi Maps is so much AWESOME

          • for what i know, we cant configure the setting in gingerbread, but in froyo we can.. but it seems, the gps locking time in gingerbread faster than froyo after i have rooted it, and fixed it with fasterfix and updated A-gps data.
            but still i am totally agree with u, OVI maps rocks! and the locking time is so much more faster!

  17. Bro, after rooting, saw super users icon. How to use it?

    when still with froyo 2.2, after root, I can move many application to SD card, like FB, friencaster, whatsapp and many more……but after upgrading to 2.3.4 GB, and having root as per above step, i don’t think will move those app…

  18. Praveengpillai says:

    dear kuldeep singh i have updated my ace to android 2.3.4 and rooted it by reading ur blog thanks for that and now i have a application named superuser after rooting ,still i cant transfer to memory card even by using app2sd can u please help me ,how to use this super user??

  19. Can you explain more about this step? “Load the file on the SD card phone.
    Switch off your phone and on again in recovery mode (Hold down the center button and turn on the phone)”

    • No it is not under about phone , you have to download an application called root checker from android market

      • Kuldeep, can you tell me how to move applications from phone to sd card? I couldn’t do that in most applications on my rooted phone. I couldn’t click a button “move to sd card”.

        • Taemina some apps lacks “move to sd” feature, but if you can root it is possible to move all

          First root your phone and install “app2sd” application from android market

After selecting the zip file from the SD card, the process starts and I get a message saying “Installation aborted” or somthing like that… the keyword is aborted. Does this problem sound familiar with you?

    I did all the procedure as you explained abobe, but I got this message:
    E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

  39. Hi, thanx for the instructions,i just upgraded my device to 2.3.4 and i’m about to root it right now.Besides getting the warranty void, are you sure there’s no chance of my device becoming bricked?And also regarding the second step please let me know how do i copy the file to the sd card.Thankyou :)

    • No reply, anyway i was able to get a shortcut of 1 kb on the sd card, but when i rebooted my phone in the recovery mode, there wasn’t any android 2.3.3 file mentioned in the steps above,and hence couldn’t proceed further.Please do reply back, i’m eagerly anxious to root my device,thanx in advance
