Rooting Galaxy Ace i8160

Now, as per usual withthese rooting articles, I'm going to start with a warning: rooting your phone isn't allowed by yourSamsung. If anything goes wrong, you'll be voiding your warranty. That said, I've written abunch of these guides, and (touch wood) I've not run into any problems, so if youfollow the steps below you shouldn't have any trouble. But if you do, CNET doesn't take any responsibility.

The reason mobile providers object to rooting isn't just to do with bloody-mindedness (although it'sa bit to do with that). Rooting takes away all the safety features that are designed to protect you,meaning that a malicious app could wreak havok in a way that a non-rooted phone might be able tostop.

The flip side is that rooting allows custom ROMs if you find the Samsung one (or aspects of it)not to your tastes, alongside powerful apps that won't work without root access. If that's enough totempt you, then before we begin, make sure you have the right version of the handset for the rootingprocess.

These are all direct download links -- keep them on your PC's desktop. Get the Samsung USB drivers if you haven't already, Odin (which will letyou get the rooting software from PC to phone) andthe rooting code specifically for the Ace 2 we need: remember, only the GT-I8160 model! Finally,you'll want to download this update_su.zip file and drop it onto your phone's SD card over USB.

Both of those will flash up warnings of great evil in the wrong hands,but they're pretty harmless compared to rooting (these bits are allowed by Samsung!), so if you'refeeling panicky now, you ain't seen nothing yet and might want to back out.

Now unzip (right click and Extract All) the rooting code we downloaded earlier -- that's the catchily namedfile 'I8160XXLD8_ready_to_root_ANT.tar', and you'll find an almost identically named fileinside: 'I8160XXLD8_ready_to_root_ANT.tar.md5'. Put that on your desktop for safe keeping, andreturn to Odin. Press the 'PDA' button, and find the file we just extracted to the desktop and selectit.
