Lurker
Off late i have been searching for files to root my samsung galaxy ace S5830 which I recently updated to latest 2.3.6 DDKQ8 firmware through OTA update . BUt most websites have only rooting options for 2.3.4 or erlier but none showed how to root 2.3.6.
So any IDEAS on how to root 2.3.6 firmware ???
 
Thank dude
Usually theres also an option where you can install another update to unroot the phone
Can you give that file too ???
Did you experience any problem after installing the update ???
THANK IN ADVANCE !!!

Press Home+Power Button to go into recovery mode and select install zip from sd Card and select the zip file and then reboot. once done you will have a superuser app in your app drawer that means your phone is rooted.

i have already tried that .... i am getting a message that "installation abort"
its is running stock 2.3.6 i guess there's something to do with that

i tried it again after doing factory rest but nothing happens n when i tried CWM recovery mode it again displayed that error plz help me
thnx in advance
 
I had all this errors and wasn't able to root my phone after DDKQ8 INU installation. Using any of the methods, SuperOneClick would froze, any of the upd_1.zip packages were not working. So, finally I resolved it.

I have GT-S58530, V2.3.6, S5830DDKQ8

I also have recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip installed.

So, how I did it?

Reboot using Home+Start buttons, go to Advanced and select Fix Permissions (I also Wipe Dalvik Cache), then go back and selected Install Zip from sdcard and installed update3.zip which is here http://db.tt/zkWCLHwA
Then rebooted and everything was working.
Now, I only have some force close of com.google.android.gms sometimes, but everything works ok.
