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) 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 on 2.3 GB
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

Downlaod:
Note: I've tested the
unroot.z. 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 phoneip and it works for me
