Downloading the files now... And if it works dude I am coming to China to kiss you!! :p :O

I will be able to sleep peacefully!!





Great work!! It is indeed working! however, I still wonder what the exploit was! If I am not wrong the sbf was modified to include superuser.apk in system apps and may be ro.secure ... build.prop was modified and repacked.. But how did you manage to keep signature?!


And it's fine even if u don't do a data wipe!i didn't and it worked fine...

One quick question . Does this mean this exploit applies for all of DFP-188, DFP-231, DFP-2311 BL7 sbf ( although I have seen DFP-231 SBF is only the attached SBF ) . What about the rest . Can this be applied on all the above three ? someone Please confirm that .

back on ICS on bl7

I am back on ICS. Very excited... One question though

Is there any way we can make extended battery work with this ROM ? (I hope it is some thing to do with bootleader)

I could use some help... I can't unpack the .gz with 7zip - reports an error at 99%. I can unzip the firmware.sbf, but that also can't be opened by 7zip, so now I am unsure...

    can i flash it over my DEFY+ bl7 and get it rooted???
    That's the idea of flashing this.

    ..can i copy the given file from your dropbox to my sd card and flash it from my DEFY+ itself....or i have to use my pc for the flashing??? :confused:
    No, you have to flash it through RSD Lite (5.3.1 I'd suggest).

    Here is a how to:

    0. Charge fully your battery before starting to flash!
    1. DL DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP sbf file.
    2. DL firmware and firmware.z01, put them in the same folder and extract firmware - it will create a firmware folder inside your current folder with another SBF file inside.
    3. DL and install Motorola usb drivers, so your phone gets recognized by the PC in bootloader mode.
    4. Install RSD Lite 5.3.1
    5. Get your phone into BL mode - turn it off, press and hold Vol+ and Pwr button. This is what your screen should look like:
    37164d1306666863-motorola-defy-flashen-bootloader-screen.png

    6. Start RSD Lite as Administrator and connct your phone to PC
    7. Press the "..." button in RSD lite and select the DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP file. Hit start, sit back and wait.
    8. DO NOT TOUCH, TURN OFF, UNPLUG your phone untill the flash process is complete or you can permanently brick your phone!
    9. Repeat steps 7 and 8, but this time select the second sbf file that was exctracted from the firmware zip's in the firmware folder.
    10. After flashing is done, turn off the phone, unplug it from the PC, press and hold Vol- and Pwr buttons. At the yellow exclamation mark with an android press simultaneously Vol+ and Vol-
    11. Wipe data/factory reset.

    Reboot and enjoy your newly rooted BL7 Defy+ (and don't forget to send me a beer :D:D:D)

    2. The Flashing proces is done on PC with the phone connected. You must install RDS Lite and Motorola USB Drivers (after installing drivers restart the PC.
    Run installed RDS Lite as Administrator (if you use Windows Vista or 7). Click on [ … ] Button and select your .SBF file and click Open.
    Boot your phone into Bootloader Mode (as I said at point 1.).
    Now connect your Defy to your PC (if is not already connected)
    The START button on RSD Lite should be available now, click and wait.

    Don't disconnect until RDS Lite will show PASS.
