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.

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.

and Cyanogenmod 7 (or 9) on it?
That depends upon the instructions posted for the roms .

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)
Hi all,
i am using sgs2 ics 4.0.3. I tried to root my phone using Odin and CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.tar file. But it failed. I tried again but result was same. I have xwlp7 kernel version and latest Samsung kies installed in my computer. Can anyone explain what could be the reason? And what should i do to root my phone. Please help.
You could try flashing a custom kernel like siyah or dorimanx or use this method:

hi Haxtreme, the alternative method you suggested, didn't work. But flashing siyah kernel did it. Thanks to you. But suggest me what is the next step after rooting my phone. i have taken a back up of rom using cwm. i am a new root user.
Next step should be efs backup.
The next step!
You got root and CWM!
The next step!
Install custom ROMszZ
The next step!
Install custom kernels!
The next step!
Overclock/underclock! As you desire!
Backup apps with titanium backup!
Backup using nandroid!

If u wish to start something w/ odin (just use odin3 v1.85 for s2) then first time u must do is uninstalling kies as it's messed over both..
Then If u have stock rom zip, start flashing it again by ticking one packages & tick & browse pda to matched zip stock. Stay away from another option in odin then. If it's successful, mean ur phone had a full wipe reset to stock factory (that's why u need backup like TiB).
At this point I think u can root by rahmat3 methods without any issues if u run it carefully as his per. No worries..

Guys, I've put the cwm.zip on my external SD card to run the clockworkmod and root my galaxy s2 without change the kernel and without the yellow triangle. And now I'm wondering if this external SD cwm works to flash custom Roms, because its gonna save time to me.
Thanks a lot

Yes it should...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes, you can flash ROMs and other packages form external SD.
Even with the stock kernel and the stock firmware 4.0.3?
Cause, I know there's some kernels that could brick the phone when you try to flash Roms with them.
The stock kernel is not that case, right?
Just remembering... My recovery mode is the stock. I use de clockworkmod only when I install it from the external SD card. So that's OK to install a ROM like cyanogenmod by this way?
I'm kind of afraid to mess things up
Thanks for all the help guys

All stock kernels for 4.0.3. Firmware are safe. Kernels for 4.0.4. are problematic.

I think you mean CF-Root kernel? Each other kernel for 4.0.4 is safe.
