Can anyone point me in the right direction with rooting my galaxy ace.
I'm using Ubuntu and have the stock 2.2.1 firmware on my phone.
Have tried to run superoneclick with mono but cant even get that running.
Thanks in advance
Peter
Of course. Have a look at the dev section and specifically the rooting/flashing/modding STICKY post at the top!

thanks, this is were i first looked. it all seems to be for windows. will look again
So I tried and tried and tried again to get superoneclick to recognise my phone last night and failed. It hung after starting ADB connection. Would not continue no matter what I tried. Anyone encountered this problem or even tried superoneclick using Ubuntu?
I have looked for a script to run to achieve root but can't find one, as I can use ADB manually. Very frustrating.
Can't even update firmware with Sammy software cos it needs windows

A couple of users report success with z4root. Not working here.
I'll keep searching.

Use ClockworkMod and upd_1.zip, can all be done on your phone. No need for a pc

odin is for windows only i believe, which i dont have, dagnabbit!
i am looking at heimdall although it is not supported and nobody seems to have tried it. atleast not from my quick searching. ill continue to look.
so if i cant root 2.2.1 with linux then i should look at updating firmware to 2.3 and then i can root with standard recovery and a zip update?

yes, now the phone will go into download mode.. but it wont do anything else
Then we need a lot more information. What did you use to root? In other words, what did you use in Odin to root it? Which steps did follow? More info will help us help you.

What do you mean by one click? Make sure you have gt-i9300 version. Here's the link for the latest cf root. It is easy to install. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
+1 CF-Root is the best and safest rooting method for the International I9300 Galaxy S3.
There are toolkits out there but I'd not recommend using them.
In fact many people reported issues wïh them and needed to manually recover from softbricks which are further complicated by the fact that they didn't know what exactly went wrong

I tried rooting my Samsung galaxy 2, gingerbread 2.3.3 on Odin. But it is not turning on now. The yellow triangle comes up. I am able to access download and recovery mode.
Any help would be appreciated!

Go to www.sammobile.com download a stock firmware, flash through Odin, reroot.
*or*
Find the right siyah kernel tar and flash through odin

I can't find 2.3.3 on sammobile only 2.3.6... does this matter? Or is there somewhere else I can find it?
Title adjusted
As was pointed out, it's always best to give a more descriptive title than 'Please Help'. I see you've got a few people helping you, good luck with it - it's usually a step you missed (I've done the same). Always read up and understand what you're doing before you do it, saves brain cells

u have very less or even outdated rooting option on GB, better to upgrade ur phone to stock ICS v4.0.3 (dwnld the stock ICS v4.0.3 firmware pertained to ur region on www.sammobile.com and flash the same using 'ODIN'.
After successfull flash and booting of ICS on ur phone, u can use Siyah kernel( .tar file for ODIN) to root ur phone by flashing the same vide ODIN
U might have corrupted ur install. If there is no VERY important data, i would recommend you to wipe data/cache and download a new STOCK rom and install using odin hope this helps. P.S. Only use odin and stock rom it has less chances of bricking the phone.

I am trying to root my Fascinate sch-1500 but when I download the cwm 4.0 it shows up as a .bin file and Odin is looking for a .tar file. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this? Thanks.

I think I have a copy of it hosted somewhere. It may be in a thread under the general forum. There's a guide on how to install Gummy ICS and I think I hosted my own copy of CWM 4 there. If not, look for some other guides under the General forum

Thanks. I will look around but it just seems odd that a .tar would download as a .bin. I am new at this so I may just need to stay with what I have because I don't want to screw up my phone.
Edit: No luck finding a solution to my problem. No matter what I do the cwm file downloads in the .rar format and when I extract it goes to recovery.bin. I can't figure it out so at this point I am stuck and no one else seems to have ever had this problem. I keep thinking I am doing something wrong but I download files all of the time and I cannot imagine what I am doing to mess this up.
