Hi Friends.
Please redownload defy_recovery.zip.sorry for my mistake.

Here is the tut of how to root the defy uk 2.51 rom.
It's simple and easy way.
this will be a step by step tut.because of my poor english.i will try to explain more detial.

1、download attatch files.
defy_2.21_boot_only.sbf
View attachment 2.21boot.zip
defy_2.51_boot_only.sbf
View attachment 2.51boot.zip
defy_recovery.exe
View attachment 474211
2、flash the defy_2.21_boot_only.sbf via rsd then reboot in to system.

3、open you phone's usb debug mode(settings-application-development-usb debug mode),then double click the defy_recovery.exe you just downloaded ,it will process the root method.when it finished you phone is rooted with superuser and my clockworkmod recovery for defy.

4、the last step is flash the defy_2.51_boot_only.sbf via rsd lite.

5、and now your phone is rooted and customized recovery installed.

This method original comes from adlx @ modmymobile.com

if your like this tut.. please buy me or adlx a beer or I can buy another phone eg. Nexus S

...Thanks.

No way here... It doesn't fuction... There is a problem in the batch file:

Code:

@echo off
echo µÈ´ýÉè±¸
adb wait-for-device
echo »ñµÃrootÈ¨ÏÞ
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb shell "chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin"
adb shell "./data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin & sleep 300;kill $!"
echo ÖØÐÂÁ¬½ÓÉè±¸£¬¿ÉÄÜÐèÒªÒ»¶ÎÊ±¼ä
adb kill-server
call :sleep 10
adb start-server
call :sleep 30
echo È¡ÏûsystemÖ»¶ÁÊôÐÔ
adb shell "mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
echo °²×°Superuser.apk
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
echo °²×°GoAPK MOD Recovery
adb push recovery.apk /system/app/recovery.apk
echo °²×°su
[B]adb push su /system/app/su[/B]
adb shell "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"
echo °²×°busybox
adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
adb shell "chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox"
echo ÖØÉèsystemÖ»¶ÁÊôÐÔ
adb shell "mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
echo Íê³Éroot£¬ÇëÖØÆôÊÖ»ú
:sleep
(ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 -w 1000 > NUL)> sleep.txt
(ping 127.0.0.1 -n %1 -w 1000 > NUL)> sleep.txt
del sleep.txt

You have to push su in bin directory non in app directory...

Code:

[B]adb push su /system/app/su[/B]

Please correct this bug.
I've also tried to upload any file thought adb (after r/w mount), but the phone doesn't recognize the apk's (Superuser and Recovery), they still invisible...

Any solution?

Is there any way now to flash back to an older SBF?

fighterchris · Dec 27, 2010

fixed recovery.exe = its not working , root exe not found windows warning

cometcao · Dec 27, 2010

batch reply "root.exe not found" after double click the defy_recovery.exe

also, from above reply:
"mount: Operation not permitted"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I found out the way to get this rooting working.

everything stays the same until running the recovery.exe part

then please refer to the old rooting method

BUT using the rooting pack mentioned above link

then flash back to 2.51

it should work!

cheers!

sorry sir,
About the root process, Why different with "http://bbs.goapk.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=48445&extra=%26page%3D1&page=1" ??
In goapk forum, the process2-> flash the original SBF? process3->Wipe data?
no need ?
Can this solution fit for Taiwan version 2.51.0?

yiminghung · Dec 27, 2010

Dear Sir:

Taiwan version could rooting by your solution!!

Thanks a lot~
you so great!!!

Jasper.tw · Dec 27, 2010

this will work on HK TW SG version 2.51

deafblind · Dec 28, 2010

can we have any details about the rooting process ?
i want to get the Taiwan version of the Defy (Blurless)

1) is there any way to get root access, but still use the firmware that came with the phone ? (TW SG HK 2.51) i wouldn't mind doing some stuff manually...

2) As far as i know the original ROM of the Taiwan SG HK defy isn't available for download right ?

thanks for your hard work.

hkipaqer · Dec 28, 2010

tenfar, thank you very much for your great work, I just rooted my HK DEFY.

Here are few steps added for those like me very new to Android and Root.

1. If you RSD Lite did not recognize your DEFY, download the USB driver here:
http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/

2. Power off DEFY. Then press 'Volume Up' and 'Power' together to boot to loader before you flash the SBF to your DEFY.

Happy rooting.

Now I finished my HK defy rooted.

Very thanks for tenfar.

rooting wit Uk 2.51 possible..not other ROM flashable

hi Guys.....i have installed the UK JRDNEM_U3_2.51....and the root method desribed here worked too...

My question is: What happens after

- rooting the Uk U3_25.1 with our method (Sytem.boot.only 2.1 2.5 etc.)
- Restore system with SystemRecovery-App "Recovery Boot"
- i restored with a backup of t-mobile U3_2.21 (from my friend)
-worked

??

Build Number ist U3_2.21.0 now
Did I downgraded my system now?

If yes,
the Problem is then:

I cannot flash any ROM (RSD 4.9) from here http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy

except the JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB02C.0R_USAJORDANRTGB_P035_A011_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf

Therefore I dont believe i downgraded anything :-

mad:

The flash-procedure with all other ROMs is the same:
RSD : finished --> Defy is not booting is hanging in the bootLoader-mode

Any Help?

Or anyone with a Vodafone 360 Original Backup

that would be great

Thanks
