Galaxy Ace: root in 5 minutes (or less)

I made a detailed step-by-step on how to root the Samsung Galaxy Ace, in just under five minutes. It should work with the Galaxy Ace running Android 2.3.3 / 2.3.4 (Gingerbread).

It's pretty straightforward:

  1. Copy an update file (see below) on to the memory card;
  2. Re-boot the phone in to recovery mode;
  3. Apply the update.
Very simple.

I also show briefly what the Superuser app looks like and what you need to know to interact with it. Also very simple.

Once your phone is rooted, you may do some advanced things with it. For instance, remove or replace the sound that is played during boot and a lot more.

The file necessary for the update is this one here: AceGingerRoot.ZIP.
