Did you even read the sticky? If its still no rooted, try flashing a new stock rom via Odin and try rooting it again using the method mentioned in the sticky. Just in case you didn't understand what I'm rambling about here...the magic word of the day for you is.... 'STICKY'.

????????
No idea what u r rambling about .... no idea what u mean by STICKY, but i am new to the mobile chatter.
but i read the instructions yes .... and they seem to work with some phones and not with others ...
they do not work with mine and that's why i asked was there any root instructions that will work on 2.3.4 galaxy ace (DDKQ3) ...
so far, NO ONE has said YES.

Sticky means the sticky thread at the top of the galaxy ace forum. It has phone specific tutorials.

Wow how unhelpful are you
I also have galaxy ace on 2.3.4 purchased in late march. The current methods for rooting don't seem to work anymore. The person who started the thread and myself would like some helpful advice from some1 who knows something about how this stuff work. Cause we don't and that's why we post!

Flash the attachments, and you've got root access. I've been using them for 2.3.4 as well as 2.3.6. Works like a charm.
Oh, and BTW, these are from the STICKY thread!
EDIT: I take you know what FLASHING means?! If not then go learn that first before you go any further.And use the SEARCH option. It's not there for baking biscuits!

I have tried to flash:
AceGingerRoot.zip
Root.zip
Universal_GB_ROOT.zip
Update.zip
upd_1.zip
None of these actually work. The root.zip you recommend comes up with an error the aborts.
I have S5830T and I just purchased this last month so things may have changed since you rooted your device. I'll try recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip after I research what it actually does (OMG - Yes I'll use the STICKY).
I hope you realise that if it waas as simple as flashing the root.zip that we would not actually need to post and ask for help!

Well, if Flashing doesn't work try to push all the stuff using ADB. It never fails. And that root.zip, I've been using it since day 1 and still use it whenever I flash to stock using ODIN. Never stopped working for Me. Try the ADB method, and report back. Let's hope for the best.And if possible post the log of the error which you get during Recovery flash.

OMG the sticky sucks big time:
- It is meant for noobs but it doesn't explain the process of rooting, flashing with ODIN or CMW in any detail (it just says do it!)
- The links are all broken
- There is information from many different people making no sense to anyone new to smartphones
I mean are you ****ing kidding me!!! What a mess!!!!
I didn't get an iPhone because of the jailbreaking bull**** so I got an android and now this ARRRRRRR
I just want to put in proxy settings so I can use my WIFI at work, but I have to ROOT!!! WHY!!!!!!
Looks like i'll be reading bull**** information all night.

I've attached a copy, just in case You get a feeling to try!

Thanks for the reply guys
I just tried UNIVERSAL_GB_ROOT_V11 because the one I tried was V10
It didn't work, however I noticed that when I boot into recovery I get the error
"applying Multi CSC Can't access to '/system/csc/TLP/system"
before I even run the root file!
I think this means I have to flash back to stock!
If so can you point me in the right direction for a ROM (I already have ODIN)

Hey guys, I have the same problem. Tried the same method as above. Couldnt find the thread about it.
I Even tried to download the stock firmware from Dr.Ketan's post and use Odin but couldnt extract the files.
Please Help...
Thanks
you need to use jig, if you have raised binary counter, back to stock ROM, can't solve it.
BTW, use winrar/7zip to extract file.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
Using a jig is unfortunately the only way to reset your Samsung Note into a clean (warranty friendly) status. To be honest... it is some kind of "blind flight" because after loading the old ("wrong") bootloader via ODIN your device will show nothing after the reboot. Could be a little be scary for some people... but it works ;-)

Before I do this, I am going to use Odin to go back to stock.
I downloaded this firmware from your post:
N7000DXLA1 -------2.3.6 2012 January-----N7000OLBKL2-------Malaysia
Questions:
1. Do I need the PDA & CSC files to execute this unroot? Where can I obtain it? Have been searching for hours still cant find it.
2. What is the best way to root it again?
Thank you.

Single file .tar is enough, when u go back to stock with pc odin, it will automatically get unroot.
Installaion guide is there in post #2 from whr u downloaded.
There is best way is zergrush exploit.

What's the difference between rooting via zergrush vs. CF-root? How to cf-root?
I'd like to speed up my Note. Kinda sluggish at stock. Even iPhones are smoother. What is Rocket Rom & Litening Rom? Is it safe? Which is better? or are there any better ones out there?
Just before unrooting I was using AbyssNote2.3, 1.703GHz, alot of heating & no difference that it was earlier. Netchip was smoother.
Thanks
Zergrush n CF root using same exploit to Root. CF root have extra benifit that it pushes CWM along with Root.
Really I never used any custom ROM till day. N it depend on own choice n requirement. You can find details n review of other on corresponding ROM thread, I can't comment much on it.

Noob HELP! : Softbricked my GTAB 8.9 GT-P7300... :(

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for their very useful posts! I 'kinda' understand now what everyone here is talking about...Kinda...
Anyway, I just bought my 8.9 around two weeks ago and decided to upgrade my OS to 3.2. I tried it through Kies, but Kies was not able to recognize my device, tried OTA update but was not able to connect to server...So I tried manually updating it myself, and now, based on what I read here, I think I softbricked my GTAB...The boot screen keeps loading and it does not want to push through...
My TAB is not rooted, and based from the threads that I have read here, i need to root my TAB first but unfortunately, I could not do that anymore..
Can someone please help me out? Noob here...Would really appreciate a step-by-step Noob guide on how to fix my tab...Thank you so much in advance!

To restore functionality (and I mean to enter the ROM itself) you must use ODIN. There are several images to select in the Development forum for your 7300 unit. A how-to use it is also available in my signature's guide. Don't worry about your SDcard contents, ODIN doesn't touch them, but it does delete the apps.
ok, i tried odin3 v1.85 and I downloaded a stock rom from sammy thats suppose to be compatible for my region. ODIN status was fail after a few seconds and I got a 'binary' error message in my TAB.
I'll try and read your how-to use now..
My tabs not rooted...will that be a problem?

No, root is independent of the device's bootloader, so no, it is not related. You can try any image as long as it's 7300.
sorry, noob question...when you say 'image', your talking about the .tar file right? so as long as its 7300, it should work?
i have the: P7300XWKK5_P7300ODDKJ1_P7300XXKJ6_HOME.tar.md5
IT WORKED!!!!!!!

There is plenty of info and guides for you on site, Stop been lazy and impatient, Go and do some research and search forums instead of expecting somebody to bring the info to you.
You will learn more and retain the info if you put some work into it and read.
go download unlockroot - http://www.unlockroot.com/
make sure you set your device to Enable USB Debugging.
Press Root from the program and wait for the magic to happen.

What is wrong with you!!! Are you frustrated or do you have a huge complex and didn’t mammy give you enough attention??? You can’t wait to put people down are you, he is asking a question and did it very polite he tried it with several solutions and it did not work so he tried, it is absolutely not necessary to say that he is lazy and impatient, your here a long time and all i read from you is bashing people, why don’t you just shut up if you are not helping people and leave it to people that have no problem answering such a question, nobody is waiting for your stupid remarks. You ATHEiST are an idiot and do not belong in a forum!
You can also go for the CFROOT. OR use the overcome method by teamovercome. You just need to put your tab in download mode, and get the necessary files from TEAMOVERCOME. Although, when you do this, you will get a customer ROM installed, the overcome 7 v4.1.0 running on android 2.3.6 fully rooted.
2.3.6 root info
tried many methods, here're my results, hope this helps...
going from gb 2.3.3 rooted with cf root ...to 2.3.6 with cf root.
(all firmware from "check fus 2.1")
uk(02)...JQ8 -not easy!
eventual success, method mentioned in last page of linkost #342

used pc version 'odin3 v1.7' to flash firmware, then again to flash 'cf root kernel' (same one as in the above 'xda' link).
result -all good
tried using mobile odin pro first but had probs.
if all else fails, you could try, team overcome's custom rom, i tried that too but didn't like their version of cwm, so was determined to get chainfire's original working.

Hello,
I'm with you in the "SCL21, I need help" department. Some info for you though, the international versions are in fact, very different. and the docomo version is too. DON'T use the docomo root method, it will brick your phone.
you can, however use the TeamEpic CWM recovery method. or the Mskip's Toolkit method. I've used both, and it flashes just fine. The problem I run into, is when I try to boot into recovery...the phone doesn't load. It gets stuck with an upside down SGS III logo. It will load into the normal android though. good luck. and if I come across a good method, I'll let you know. you're not alone.

Yup, I'm there, too. If there's anybody out there with the Japanese AU version that hasn't already made this mistake, it would be great if they could pull the stock recovery from it with Odin... maybe if we had that, we could revive ours. I can still get to download mode, so there's still hope, right?

You might try the following links to restore your phone. I am looking at getting the same phone this month or next, so very curious if anyone succeeds in restoring.

The second link requires an unmodified phone, so you might have to ask around your network and see if anyone can help. Good luck!

If you happen to be able to restore your phone and wanna give it another crack. Maybe try the CWM all variants tar and see if it gets you any further. Unfortunately I can't post outside links yet, so you'll have to google for it!
Make sure to follow the directions! ;-D
If you guys are wanting to try other cwm root methods, I would choose one of the Qualcomm S4 root methods, namely either the Verizon, Us Cellular or Sprint as those would be the closest to this model. I would certainly doublecheck the partition table first though.
Oh, and if/when you guys do get root, would any of you mind pulling your radio partition? I'm curious about something with it.
Edit: Scratch that. I'm heading over to Samfirmware.com for the files, if you need to ODIN to stock, head over there and you can pull the files to restore your device.

I just got the SCL21 about two weeks ago. I think it's really strange that even on the Japanese forums, there is very little info on rooting this model. From everything I've found, some Japanese sites also both say it's OKAY to root using the Docomo SC-06D recovery and Superuser zip while others say that it's NOT safe to use that same method and it will result in a bricked phone. Really odd, conflicting messages!
I know that some people successfully rooted by flashing the SC-06D custom recovery and then Superuser zip. But, it it also seems like many have ended up with a bricked phone while using this "Docomo method". I tried Bin4ry’s Root and Restore v30 but no luck installing Superuser after the ADB push from the Windows command prompt completed.
I just found the Team Epic CWM recovery method but according to Bopatriot, it flashes fine and then won't boot into recovery. Anyone have any ideas why this model phone is so difficult to root successfully?
Thanks guys!
Any Luck?
I was able to find a post somewhere about the stock rom for it that works with the SCL21 phone but, it was still 4.0.4(epic fail). Anyone have any luck finding 4.1+?
Repeat this is I9305 forum no information on other phones .
Try sammobile.com
4.1.2 was officially released for this phone just this week. Grab it OTA or from SamMobile and flash it.
If you need to root, the SC-06D method works fine.

[SOLVED][GT-P1000]rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10

Hi, two days ago I've soft bricked my tab: GT-P1000(SPAIN/VODAFONE).And yesterday I successfully unbricked it using these files:
P1000BUJQ5_P1000ATLJQ1_ATL.zip
P1_add_hidden.pit
When I tried to boot it just got stuck on the samsung logo, I saw some tutorials saying that you should Factory Reset it, but I got this Error:
rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
Please I really need some help
Thanks in advance.

Yeah I used that guide to unbrick my Tab, it successfully unbricked but I got stuck in the samsung logo.
I tried to factory reset but that error showed up.
Well can I still flash it with dbdata?
I solved the problem, I flashed using dbdata.rfs.tar and I could run GB 2.3.6
You can mark this thread as solved.

I have the same problem.
May i know where to download dbdata.rfs.tar ?
After downloading what should I do? Do I need .PIT files?
Thank you
I had the same issues as you guys. Gingerbread is so freakin unstable its not funny. I want to get off it but there seems to be no normal way to do this for my particular tab? Cause all the guides and recommendations I have followed do NOT work. I have posted my own thread in this section and have had not a single person reply? Is this place dead now? Are there no XDA members out there who are able to help?
Question. If a bootloader is locked at Froyo and you flash an unlocked Gingerbread bootloader is it now unlocked?
Anyway to the guy above me the attachment should be able to help you. Flash it with Odin as PDA :good:

I came across the following blog
galaxytabupdate.blogspot.sg
But note that gingerbird 2.3.3 link is not working redirecting to some video downloader.
Also the dbdata file size seems lot different.

That was the one that I used that allowed my device to boot. I also noted that this file was a different size to the one in the stock firmware that I downloaded. I also found out that no matter how much I tried I could not get the device to even boot using stock carrier branded firmware? So yeah that is as much as I can give you mate. I am a n00b in these areas (have dev'd for SGS1 and a number of other devices but I am n00b here in Galaxy Tab section) so I am still learning about this device.
