Finally with help from people from many other forums Defy with BL7 was rooted.
For now we have no script to make it on the phone without wipe but I'm very happy that it's working.

Rooting Procedure

1. Wipe phone twice (2x make Wipe Data/Cache in stock recovery)
2. Flash 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN or 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE (It doesn't matter what version of this two You flash but it must be the same with version from point 4).
3. Wipe again (Data/Factory Reset)
4. Flash rooted SBF 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN Rooted SBF Part.1, 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN Rooted SBF Part.2 or 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE Rooted SBF

Old Post to let everyone know what we worked here.

Code:
I couldn't find any thread about rooting it and only few posts under roms threads so maybe we can start here. I was making backup of rooted DFP-231 en.EU but after this by mistake I restored 2.3.5 DFP-125 and I needed to reflash my Defy with full sbf of DFP-231 cause to make OTA I had to upgrade to BL7 so any chance to restore my backup is root full sbf DFP-231.

I was trying:
Root Tools:

- (XT800+)ROOT_MOTO_2.3.6
- Defy_2.3.6Root
- DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
- DROID 3 easy root script v7
- ME525 2.3.6 Root
- ROOT_MOTO_2.3.6
- root4defy134
- SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse
- ZOC_FlashMasterV1.70
- unlockroot23-eng
- Motofail for Droid 4 and Razr
- SuperOneClick with new Exploit motofail hangs on 5th step

Downgrade to:
Every verion MB525, MB526, ME525, ME525+ starting from early versions of Eclair ending on DFP-2311 but only DFP-188 and DFP-231/DFP-2311 has BL7 and on all other verion phone is dead.

I was trying also modding sbf files by myself and few from Walter79 on DFP-188 thread and trying to force reflash under stock recovery but unfortunately still no luck and every time I had bootloader error or just dead phone.
From last few days I'm monitoring all German, Chinese, Spain and Russian forums about rooting this but still even no clue.
Only thing I learn is that every tool for root has problems with writing su app to phone so I think script to make it is wrong but I'm new in android and I have no idea how to edit it. I tried superuser under Ubuntu 11.04 also but I couldn't mount phone so another fail.

I'm screwed with BL7 so if someone have some ideas I'm opened for most options.

Someone (walter79 I think) was talking of a tweaked sbf that could do the trick. Basically to create this you need to
1) unpack the bl7 sbf to a folder and get cg39.smg.
2) Mount cg39.smg as ext4 in ubuntu (sudo mkdir /mnt && sudo mount cg39.smg /mnt -o loop).
3) Now place su binary(su) in /mnt/xbin and Superuser.apk in /mnt/app (To find these files look inside superonclick zip archive)
5) Set perm (sudo chmod +x /mnt/xbin/su)
6) Unmount (sudo umount /mnt)
7) Repack sbf.
8) Flash your phone with new sbf using Rsdlite
9) See if it's booting, if yes, let us know.
10) If no, reflash orginal sbf again.

Ok, I'll try it and maybe it gonna work but I'm afraid that bootloader error shows after repacking sbf.

If this fails with bl error it means that bl7 somehow checks the patency of mmcblk1p31 during boot. If that's the case then rooting these new sbf will be very very very difficult.

Edit : use motoandroidepacker 1.3 from http://and-developers.com/sbf

Hi.
Yes it is like this,i tried a things above, the result is boot err.
Tried, mount CG39.smg (no moding) umount than flash, Bootloader err.

I could try 1 more thing, from rooted telephone (bl7) you can pull CG39.smg by ADB.
adb shell:
su
dd if=/dev/block/system of=/sdcard/CG39.smg
Edit this, than flash.
Thanks

Sorry but I don't understand what You just said cause I'm on Ubuntu from yesterday and it's my first contact with this system and to do thing with modding CG39.smg I needed to google how to copy something in Linux console so please explain steb by step what to and I'll try it if You can't.

Just to confirm : Did you use MotoAndroidDepacker 1.3? If it was MAD 1.2x, please repeat the steps with MAD 1.3.

I could see that you used a control to verify if depacker is working properly. That's smart. You could also try this: make a new sbf that only contains the modified cg39.smg. Delete other smg after depackin. Make sure that you use MAD 1.3. Good Luck.

OFC I did all on MAD 1.3 but I think that problem isn't in content of package but modding CG39 cause after rebuilding clean sbf everything working fine and as someone said after only mount and unmount CG39 without modding bios shows error.

Hi, new update for T-Mobile DFP-188 shows up and it's available here but already edited by uploader. I didn't installed it but I downloaded it and tried to modify it by myself. Added su, Superuser.apk and busybox from root4defy134 and added permissions for update script under rest of bin permissions but ofc after trying flash it by stock recovery, recovery shows error at verification. So maybe someone have any idea how to modify it to add root files and update?? Or maybe there isn't any chance to do it??

I want to talk about his attempt to gain root access. I have a PC installed eclipse and android SDK. If you try to copy any file in the System folder at once shows the error (read only filesystem). Today I tried to use the Kindle Fire Utility. Now, almost enable to copy the file to the section of System (ie it is copied by 99% and then gives an error). It seems to me that it might somehow help.

    Let me talk in front, there is no effective solution, but I have an idea,
    theoretically feasible, but some adventure and have to put a machine into The BL7 special emphasis on Do not try.
    Theoretically possible does not necessarily mean you can row. Not bad money, or want to cure except Brush Syndrome. If you must dare to try to act early to report findings and is extracted mirror up for the benefit of Ha. Here Xianxie. One, first prepare a can BL6 at the end of the ROOT package, personal recommendations Asia-Pacific BL6. Wipe after brushing about two, and then the methods we might have seen, I ROOT BNM Bl6 the method is the so-called normally speak OTAROOT, scientific name of the SHELL ROOT restarts for the second brush into BL7 the ROOT The features are: If your current machine can be a key ROOT, but the new brush into the versions (including the OTA update or the end of the package) can not be a key ROOT. And brush into the in WIPE old version of the new version you can start, then the new version of the brush into the same ROOT , Sounds like a mathematical formula.
    Brief the SHELL ROOT, known MOTO one of the SHELL ROOT parameter in order to develop their own convenience, as long as the prop file by adding this parameter can be directly mount partition to reading and writing skills. 2.3 parameters ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_adb = 1, 4.0, parameters ro.kernel.qemu = 1 three, but there is to say, even if your own new brush BL7ROOT of which how to make already BL7 students ROOT it depends on this step. First be prepared to busybox, complete extraction of the dd function that you have ROOT BL7. This extract is a key own BL7ROOT 50% success, which this step is an additional 50%. This extract has the integrity of the risk point is extracted. I had success on the 2.2 so in theory the same can be successful. Basic first is the busybox push to the data / local / tmp, and then change the permissions 755. Then the command adb shell the data / local / tmp, / the busybox dd if = / dev/block/mmcblk1p21 of = / sdcard/mmcblk1p21-system.img ensure that not a usb mass model to ensure that the sd card. Open usb debugging necessary. Then extracted img mirror packaged the sbf brush into those who have bl7 students inside the machine can. Later took this as the end of the package.


    ( It should be noted, the brush into the re-packaged sbf students of bl7 of the end of the package must be the same BL7 end of the package )
    The following is a complete process. -------------------------------------------------- ------------- a brush into the the MB526 Asia-Pacific's BL6ROM.

    From last few days I was collecting almost all roms to Defy including extremely rare and I tried to mix it with DFP-231/DFP-188 and only roms that can be mixed with it is DFP-125, DFP-132 and DFP-146.
    I working on Linux also trying to find the way to edit CG39 (from clean rom and my nandroid backup extracted from phone) without signature fail but even after mounting CG39 as ext3/ext4 without any modification signature was broke.
    I tried also make something with update for DFP-188 but I was reading that to make update.zip working on stock recovery every bin and apk must be signed by motorola and there is no way to just repack update.zip and flash it on stock recovery.
    I tried to make something with shadow DFP-112 witch as I understood is rooted or able to patch CG39 so it must be without CDT in CG31 (I'm not sure) but ofc it can't be mixed with DFP-231. I'm interesting how it's in some roms that they can be patched or something to make it work without bootloader error.
    I'm afraid that I'm out of new ideas. Maybe someone have any clue.
