Not able to Root my defy using super one click

[addu]

So this is what I did. (My 1st time)

-Download/update drivers

-attached phone via usb

-turn on usb debugging

-open super one click

-clicked on root

And this is what I got, nothing happened after this.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

change Exploit Auto to psneuter and give a feedback, if any messege that it is not a proper way, click continue. It depends on your defy ROM

I am having the same problem, but your suggestion failed to get the root to work. It just hangs at "Shell Rooting Device #7 and the software goes "Not responding" (Win 7 64 bit).

I also tried setting the exploit to zergRush with the same result.

As a matter of interest, DoomLord's Version 4 also fails with a number of errors writing files.

I had stuffed up a flash to ICS by flashing the Kernel (I was confused as to why the step was there is it was ????not needed.)

I managed to get a UK Defy+ .sbf file to install, but now I can't root it to allow me to revert to the Nandroid backup I did.

Any suggestions would be most welcome!!!! HELP...........

Ok, but which CG version you have? Which UK Defy + sbf you mounted and what defy u use?

If it is CG7 version then to root try acc. to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013 (helpful esp. for defy red and defy +)

Thanks! that did it for me.

So you are welcome to hit a thanks button ;-)

Sure but i cant find a thanks button when i use xda android application.

Can you also give some info about custom roms? I'm planning to flash to Cm7, should i go ahead or Cm9 / Miui is better?

Custom ROMs are something very personal, so my opinion is only mine ;-)
I love CM7 as it is (not only my opinion) the fastest one and all works fine.
CM9 looks nicer but still lacks some features and has some bugs, and is much slower than CM7.
So my proposal is to start with last official CM7 http://get.cm/ choose jordan device or quarx' last nightly from the first post of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654

I switched to CM9 of quarx or epsylon several times but each time went back to CM7.

Depending on your device (red or green) take care which kernel you use for CM9.

If you like MIUI or WIUI or some other interfaces, you can also try.

In future i recommend using Doomlord's one click root..its very simple..
just double click the file and ur phone is rooted

Resolved issue with SuperOneClick Tool not responding.

I am having the same problem, but your suggestion failed to get the root to work. It just hangs at "Shell Rooting Device #7 and the software goes "Not responding" (Win 7 64 bit).

I had a similar issue when I was trying to root my Defy from Win 7 (32bit), after a few tries, I switched over to my wife's laptop which is on Win XP SP2.
Installed the ADB drivers, connected the Defy through USB (while USB debugging option was checked).
Clicked on 'Root' in the SuperOneClick Tool window.

In about a minute or so the process was done.
The phone was rebooted by the application once in the process.

And now I have a rooted device.


Used SuperOneClick 2.3.3
