Ok I updated first post for everyone who is searching for root.
There is a bug in the rom flash with the SBF, status bar disappear sometimes :s
But wipe between original and rooted sbf is needed, otherwise You'll have bootloader error.
Hey I would like to know what is the difference between the various versions of bootloaders and the advantage of the new bootloader
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
I'm using this rom from almost 3 weeks and I don't have this bug. Maybe thats why cause I'm using only ADW ex.Same bug with CEE Rom !
EDIT: I find the solution to this bug http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24719471&postcount=8
As i told I dint do a wipe even once! Installed TB after reboot and backed up my whole phone and then installed CWM and now am back to CM9! And it worked fine. May be I was just lucky.... But technically bootloader error should not come! Because it comes due to changes in CG39 etc. and none of them are affected by data wipe. THe only issue may be slow or broken home or bootloop(may be not) !!
Use Apply update.zip from sdcard or if it wont work try to use Backup and Restore/Advanced Restore
How about those that flashed this ROM on their Defy (not Plus). What custom roms can they use (with working camera and battery)?
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.
TRANSLATIONIt looks like chinese forum succeded in root BL7! I was reading a spanish forum and someone posted it.
