Hello,
Apparently, upd_1.zip method doesn't work, and SuperOneClick 2.3.3 can't root stock 2.3.5.
How can I root my Ace?
What's the error you are getting?
Is it something like status 7?
I also encountered similar issue.
1st time stock ROM root is OK. After roll back from custom ROM to same stock ROM, I got this error!
Try to wipe cache, format etc .. It works for me!
yeh I had that problem for like 5 weeks trying to root my ace but it had no root access !
OK so download cf-root b3
and flash with cwm 4
then just flash a different rom !
that simple
now I have root and a custom from!!!

I'm not getting any error, I read about experiences with both these tools and I'm pretty sure they can't root the device with stock 2.3.5. firmware. I want to know if anyone had success in rooting 2.3.5. and what tools had been used.

I don't want to flash a new firmware or a new recovery. I just want to root my phone so that I can remove some pre-installed applications.

Stock 2.3.5 ? I rooted it using the upd_1.zip file. Worked for me. Try the file posted in 'ZIP file to root ace" in this section. It might help.

Updated my brand new galaxy two days ago. Had no problems and was locked to the three network.
Used stock recovery to flash cwm v4 and then used this to apply the root update zip.
I am now running nimms amazing cm 7.2 rom and have had no problems.

I was using odin, superoneclick and kies to root my phone. All was working fine untill superoneclick decided not to open and had an error message that said "Unable to find the version of runtime to run this application." I couldn't find a way to fix it after multiple attempts so I decided to try the easier way of rooting the phone. But this requires my firmware which is KDD but I can find the thread for it. Does anyone have the thread for it or help me find it. PLEASE help is greatly appreciated I have been doing this for more then 4 hours im getting really frustrated.
Dev section. Chainfires CWM and Root thre.

I rooted mine by flashing the lightning rom through Odin. The rom is already rooted. Even if you don't want to use it at least you are rooted and can flash other stuff now

+1 did the same. with CWM after u can go anywhere..
So i have a Samsung Galaxy S II and earlier today i were thinking about rooting it.
So i were preparing for the root and installed the Samsung drivers.
When it had installed it popped up a message about new firmware(ICS).
So i installed it, and i dident like it.
So i were wondering, is there a root for ICS 4.0.3 yet?And if it is, can i install Clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod 7 (or 9) on it?
Thanks in advance!
(Sorry for my bad english,Im from Norway )

You don't need root to flash a ROM. Just enable usb debbuging and reboot in recovery, then flash whatever rom you want.
Easiest way to root your phone is to flash Siyah kernel (my opinion )
Cm7 is Gingerbread, Cm9, which is still nightly release, is 4.0.4. Cm9 comes rooted (I'm not sure about Cm7 though, but I think it's rooted too).
I personally use Cm9 with Siyah kernel because of the CWM and better recovery menu. Otherwise Cm9 comes with integrated Rom manager, so Siyah is not necessary.

Cyanogenmod 7 is based on Gingerbread and it's the only STABLE Cyanogenmod for Galaxy S2 so far.
Cyanogenmod 9 is still in nightly release ("nightly" means beta (or alpha?) release: may contain bugs, crashes, not working/included apps etc.) and it's based on ICS 4.0.4.
-------------------------------------------------------
Cyanogenmod 9 comes with integrated ROM Manager which is practically CWM with other name and more functions. With ROM manager you can backup/restore current rom, partition SD card, download and install ROMs AND you can flash latest clockworkmod recovery from where you can flash all kernels/roms/updates that you want (with clockworkmod recovery I mean the volume up-home button-lock button thing It changes the default recovery and gives you more options lol)
I just used Kies to update my Samsung Galaxy S2 I777 from 2.3.6 to 4.0..3 ICS that just came out. I was previous rooted and now the root seems to be gone. How do i fix this and root my phone again while its 4.03?
Does the super 1 click root work on the official 4.0.3 version?
I would appreciate any help/directions on how to reroot my phone after i updated to the official ICS from AT&T. Thank you!

So I'm stuck with this forever or will there be a fix for this in the near future?
Btw was it normal for my root to be removed by updating my phone using kies? Because when i updated previously from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 OTA using my phone's software update option, it didn't remove the root. I was surprised to see that ICS did

Yea but i want to root so that i can freeze apps using titanium back, as well use root capabilities such wifi tethering and root explorer. So i need to root soon. What is the best/safest way to do this on the official ICS 4.03 version?
Well I don't know why his rooted version would be good as well...have you read the comments on his tutorial in the link you posted? Probably will give you a good idea of how it's going for other people.

It seems to be working for some people but I honestly don't want to have to root using a I9100 version/kernel to have a root. I was hoping that there was an similar root to the super 1 click root method where you can keep your phone on the i777 version.
Also some of the comments say that they are having issues with certain buttons, and on the youtube video one comment says something about getting bricked. So idk

Oh, man...why won't someone spend the time to find this poor guy the info he needs and post the links? It's not his fault he did an update without first knowing what effects it would have on his phone. What a heartless bunch you guys are. It's not like he's been here for over 3 years and knows how this forum works.
Yes you can root the update but trying to flash an update script thru 3e recovery didn't work for me and will format your sd card when you exit 3e but I was rooted within 10 minutes after upgrading to att official ICS. Just to be sure I downloaded/installed Superuser and busybox, then I flashed the CWM recovery kernel ( if you don't know ahead of time how this process works please research before attempting it) which won't boot the phone but allows you to use the button combo to get into recovery and then flashed the latest Siyah kernel .zip (or whichever ICS kernel you prefer), which had been strategically placed on my sd card prior to the Kies flash. And voila...root and recovery.

Why not just flash the pre-rooted version?
...and then there's that ! ^ As a matter of convenience that works too...but personally I like to take what I've learned thru these forums and apply it in real life to retain the process.

Another way to do it, if you have the Odin flashable files, would be to use Mobile Odin with the everroot option checked.

So does this look just like the "official" AT&T release (just cleaned up)?
This is my first post and i was wondering if people could answer some questions i have.
First off heres my phones specs
Samsung galaxy s2
Model number
GT-I9100
Android version
4.0.3
Baseband version

Kernel version

I've rooted my phone using rachmat3 method and thats how far i've got because only just got phone as a gift and im scared to flash a new rom incase i brick my phone.
Is it safe to use the cwm.zip to flash a rom that i used from rachmat3 root method or do i need a updated version of cwm?
Can someone recommend a fully working paranoid android rom that i can use for daily use?
Which kernel would be best to use with paranoid android rom?
Should i flash a kernel before i flash a rom?
If i install paranoid android rom would i then have a permanant cwm on my device or would i still need to use my temporery cwm.zip?
What is the chances of me bricking my phone?

I would advise you to flash a safe kernel first before doing any wipe and flashing any roms. Siyah is a safe bet.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
1. Download ROM Manager and you'll be able to flash any ROMs you wish using that.
2. All the PA versions are working fine, so just browse through and choose for yourself.
3. Asking questions like that is against forum rules because they often lead to arguments. The best advice is just to download and flash different kernels and stick with which ever one you're happy with.
4. It really doesn't matter in which order you flash them. The result is still the same. I personally always flash the ROM first, but it doesn't make a difference.
5. If you use ROM Manager, as mentioned previously, even if you have to do a full wipe when flashing a different ROM, it doesn't matter because you can simply download it again anyway. Or just save it to your SD card.
6. The changes if bricking your phone are higher if you're worried about it. Just be sure to read all instructions given about installation and follow them perfectly and you'll be fine.
If after reading about flashing ROMs you are still worried, then you're better off waiting for a bit until you've done more research into what exactly is needed.

just follow the steps mentioned and follow some video (like on youtube) and it'll be easy!

Most ROM zips include kernels, so if somebody wants to stay with the same kernel, then it's necessary to flash custom kernel again.

You will need a pc if for example you flash a kernel and somethings not right.You cant get cwm, only download mode.

You will need to use Odin. No way around it. And you will need to flash back to stock 2.1 then you can use the cwm recovery update.zip from the esental hard to find files thread and that will install cwm once your on 2.1 then you can download what ever ROM you want and flash it. FYI you will need to flash the ROM twice. Once will give me the jb recovery then the second time will install the rom
