I just followed the steps here:

No extra steps done.
Root gained and works with no problems.
Thanks
This works
Used Root Uninstaller to get rid of apps I dont want.
v1.1 works like a charm^^
Could this brick my phone? I really want to try it, but I'm scared of what will happen if something goes wrong. Please help?
i am not sure but rooting a droid device never broke a device not or never heard about that so i think not

No. You only flash system partition.

the only way to brick is if you abused Titianum backup and removed important stock apps. To know what is safe check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046699
even if you did brick it this way, it should be fairly easy to recover.
First there was play, then there was root
Worked like a charm, took about 10 min. though

That's weird, when I ran Gingerbreak it literally took 30 seconds, then booted in the usual time.
V1.2 worked like a charm

Have any of you guys done a OTA after rooting your device with gingerbreak? If yes how did it go? I have an update waiting, but I'm a bit worried it will 'brick' my play and I don't want go through all that flashing work for an update
Regards Dousan...
As mentioned in other thread please un sticky the "Boot Loader Unlock root method" and make this as sticky.
As many users are unlocking bootloader just for the sake of root
Saw this, wonder if it's included in a new OTA update:

Yes i just bought a galaxy Ace and i was wondering if there was an easy way to root or a step by step too root this device
and also what the best Rom was for this phone is
i am from canada here and on the koodo network
For now the unofficial Cyanogenmod7 works best with my usage.
And for the first question, for the love of chuck norris, just google how to root your device... It's as simple as pressing a button. *hint*
I know i find ones and such but it just seems time consuming and what not lol

Then don't do it. Simple as that.
Figured instead of posting a new thread I'd reply here. I'm in the similar situation sorta, just had a few questions.
My model is the GT-S5830D 2.3.4 and I have Gingerbread.DTLKI4. I haven't encountered any threads with the similar build. I also noticed with KIES it tells me that my phone is not upgradeable. I'm wondering if Koodo put a proprietary lock on my phone and I'm curious whether I can still root my phone? Do you have to unlock in order to root? I've read a bit but I'm having a hard time grasping this concept.
Thanks.

Im guessing that "Koodo" is your carrier? You have to root your device before being able to unlock it at all so it wont really matter what carriar ure on.
I think that's how it works, since i got my ace w/o contract I didnt have to deal with this.
edit: beware, unlocking your phone may brick your phone, or maybe just loosing ure IMEI (source: all the xda threads)
Yes Koodo is the carrier i my self am not 100% sure what they did to it if anything at all to the phone i know i seen a few root guides online just seems like it's alot to do to root it i am sure it can be did i have full access to rom manager and would like to toss a custom rim on this unit as i did with my lg optimus one is all to which is running void forever... Plus to be able to get rid of all the bloatware in this phone would be nice any how a little help would be grand

Rooting SGA is not hard at all, sga was my first android phone and I was able to root it on my 2nd day of using it.
DONT use Rom Manager, just flash CWM (clockworkmod) and use it instead, ull probably brick your phone using Rom Manager (even after doing backup and stuff).
edit: it just seems to be a lot of step when rooting SGA, i assume you read the information from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12874680#post12874680
If you reduce obvious steps like "2) Turn on your phone" "4) Connect your phone into PC via cable" etc. ull get a very short tutorial.
like this:
(text in italic = added/edited text)
C. Rooting for 2.2.1:
2) Enable Debugging at Apliccations>Programming
3) Connect your phone into PC via cable
4) Launch Super One Click 2.1.1 and Click "Root", wait.
7) When the process is complete turn off SOC and unplug your phone and reboot it.
So it's actually just 4 steps.
Not bad so your saying I should toss rim manager off and such... I now see it easier then i had read before lol... Now what about flashing new software like stock gingerbread? Will it free memory up and what rom would you suggest for this model CM7 or something lighter?

Yes, never use Rom Manager is my tip, even though it does work in very few cases... And as I mentioned, use CWM instead.
I would recommend CM7 to the more experienced users; not saying you need to be a pro to use it, but it's not as stable as the stock roms. Just stay away from settings that you dont know anything about and you should be good (especially the options in performance).
Flashing roms and such are all in the link that i posted before, take some time reading it and you should be good to go.
Perfect... See i typically do read through all guides but beeing new to android by about a year now it dont hurt for advice from people that has been around the OS for a abit longer and have had experience in said things

Oh ok, you need to root before you unlock anyway. Cool. I wanted to root it anyway, just wasn't sure if it was before or after unlocking. I just seem to have some proprietary Koodo firmware on here so if I could remove it I'd be alot happier. I just see lots of flash tutorials for old versions like 2.2.1, not 2.3.4. Wasn't sure if it would be compatible still or not. I just want my phone to be like one I got from samsung, not one from Koodo. Proprietary bungholes. Lol.

Dont know if you noticed but ill quote the part for 2.3.4, download link is in the first post of the "how to root-thread".
"E. Unrooting for 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5 (Thanks to ingbrzy):
1) Download attached file called unroot.zip and copy it to your sdcard
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Select update from sdcard, select the file unroot.zip
5) After the update completed - reboot
6) Now you have rooted S5830"
In 2.1.1 you wont be able to chose zip, dont know if that is the case for you. But if that is the case simply change the unroot.zip to update, then chose to update your phone and it will automatically search and chose it.
Gingerbreak exploit works for Ace right?
Thanks man! I didn't find that thread. I just came to my phone section and read the sticky but it didn't advise me so.
Thanks again! Will try this in a bit!
Wait: edit. Read that again... Unrooting...rooting?...hrm. I wanted to root. Last line says root but the title says unroot.

I think these are compressed with some sort of compression method, maybe proprietary.
I'm guessing this patches the bootloader.

I dislike VZjust as much as the next guy, but VZ feels that if you are a subsidized phone with a plan then the phone is not yours until the contract is up. For me i bought my phone off ebay to replace the total crap that is Motorola Droid 2 Global (loved the keyboard, hated the Motorblur and locked BL)
But I agree, VZ is raping everyone who has a wirelss plan with them, but no news here all Carriers do that.

Free with a 2 year contract or free from someone you knew? If its free from a contract of 2 years to them they own the device for the length of the contract. I am not trying to support VZ, just saying that I have seen attempts (not firsthand) of people trying to sue VZ or other carriers for the same thing and they are always squashed

Hey, maybe it's because my BL was unlocked with the testpoint method, but I still have full root. I returned to stock with the .88 ftf file and then rooted it. I ran tha OTA Rootkeeper also. Once the FOTA was finished, I checked and I still have root without even touching the OTA Rootkeeper program. I ran Root Checker, and it verified I have full root access as well.

I first started out with Samsung Galaxy Note II Kit. But, the update said I needed to do something about unlocking my boot loader, so I went to the Adam Outtler page. But, he says in the first post that this won't work If you do it with an OTA update after January 18, 2012. Well, I didn't notice that first anyways and tried Odin, and all it would do mainly was fail, or setup connection would take forever, and even Casual says:
/system/bin/sh: su: not found
noroot
DEVICE IS NOT ROOTED! ROOT YOUR DEVICE! Install any VRALJB ROM --Adam Outler
What I think I need to do is uninstall the OTA update, but most people I have seen do it through a rooted phone, but I don't have one yet. I have no idea what to do, and I am really confused and don't want to hard brick or screw up my phone. Could anyone help me with this? I am sorry if I am being stupid about this, but the only thing I ever rooted was a NOOK tablet which was simple.
P.S. I am sorry but if anyone respond between the times of 10am-12pm today, and 4pm-12am today, I will not be able to respond due to work arrangements I have for today.
First confirm the baseband: System Settings > About Phone > Baseband. If it shows VRALL4, you have the update and need to use the updated root and unlock method here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118348
Just go slowly and follow the directions (measure twice and cut once), its pretty easy. Good luck.
start at section 1 of my guide...then if youwant to unlock follow adams thread. make sure to use his latest "jailbreak" method(the one linked in my guide).
If you on the latest software from Verizon, just use Adams guide. That's all I did. Need any help let me know!
Or just follow this dude here.

the last thing i would recomend is using anything other than adams or my thread. also the op may just want root, which he can simply place root66 in odin and be done. the latest software adds no benifit other than if you like to internet bench race.

Please read few threads before posting new thread. It is not practical for us to reply every newcomer to ask for reading.
I've already looked at all those forums. I'm not concerned with flashing ROMS. All I need is simple root access and I've tried all the methods yet to no avail. If I can get cwm recovery without root and then flash the root. Zip file it might work but I can't find any forum that explains it.

Also I got really close with root with restore. Only problem was that my phone says Restoring... Then 3 secs later it says restore complete. No reboot no nothing. Any thoughts?

On P769 V10G, You cannot use old rooting method from Bin4ry, it only for some model and version (most 10A, 10B, 10C). You can only root your phone with cmahendra guide. And there are no easy one-click method to rooting our phone for now.
Ok I'll try that method. Thanks

The commands written in your guide won't work. I ran as an administrator but it says 'C:\' isn't a internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

this doesn't always work, but try moving the files to a different drive and replace c:/ with whatever the drive letter is. otherwise, wait till we get jelly bean and use that one click method.
Alright ill try that. Btw do you know when jb will come out for our phone?

I followed cmahendra's guide step by step http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2173465 to root my P769.
I want to root it, unlock it, install custom recovery, and start installing custom ROMs. So where do I begin in that aspect? I would like to start tonight so I don't start installing things and then start the process.
I've read that the bootloader can't be unlocked, but it can be bypassed. Is that correct? If so, what is the exact process to go about that?
I would assume if I'm unlocking the bootloader, it's a one shot including root. Yes?
Anyway, just help me out where to go. The only thing I've seen in the VZW sections is a sticky that tells you how to root the device. I wanted to get all three down, Root, Recovery and Bootloader.
this does all 3.....

Thank you to both of you! I have it rooted and a recovery installed. I believe that means I've bypassed the bootloader, correct?
Is there anyway to tell this worked properly other than having a recovery on my phone?

You can download any app on google play that requires root. If it asks for root permissions and it works, then you have successfully rooted your phone. Or you can download this app to check for root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en
