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

Extract these zipped files and then flash with RSDlite,
---For RSD you first need to open your defy into bootloader, and for that while starting press Power+VOL UP.
---RUN RSDLite your device will be listed there, Browse for sbf and hit start.
---Flash Both the files and be the owner of rooted defy plus

Grab RSDlite from here :-- ~~~~~RSD Link 1~~~~~~
-- ~~~Link 2~~~


After Flashing,the first thing you should do is install 2nd init and get a custom recovery.
===>You just need to install a apk file and Bamm!! you got custom recovery.
===>To download 2nd init here is the link ~~~Link 1~~~, ~~~Link 2~~~


If you got problems with your baseband (like getting Signal frequency NIL or very Low) use BASEBAND SWITCHER
===> You have to flash a zip file through custom recovery like[CWM].
===> Link to baseband Switcher ~~~Link 1~~~, ~~~Link 2~~~
===> After Installing set baseband frequency according to your country.

Is there a way to overclock stock rooted rom??

Is there a way to overclock stock rooted rom??

I dont think so, because defy architecture only supports up to 1000Mhz which motorola has unlocked by launching defy+..

What is the diff between the flash in step 2 and step 4???

Hi Guys,
Nice post.:good: I also have a Defy plus with DFP-231 which is very hard to root with scripts(There is no scripts available to root for DP-231) and has to be flashed with a SBF file(Thank god atleast this it there to save the day).

My Question is : In the steps 2 and 4 we have to flash with some files. What is the difference between them two . Like what happens when you flash in step 2 and what happens when you flash in step 4 within the PHone.

I do not want to do something I clearly not understand.

And also I do not want those motorola installed applications to run in my phone by default. (Since I have 0 uses for tem). Motorola --- why do you make such crappy software when you can make really good hardware???????

Cheers,
Vic

I am also just a newbie like you but in these sbf files:
1st sbf will replace your default installed ROM with this new one, so that your defy+ will able to support 2nd SBF(kernal).
2nd sbf is a rooted version of 1st sbf which will make your defy rooted.

You wont even able to find the difference between these sbfs and the sbf which is already in your cell. Only the Baseband will change which you can configure it according to your location by BASEBAND SWITCHER :laugh:

Let me know if i can help you more :victory:

Backup of the present ROM so that I can switch back to claim warranty.

Hi kdarknight,

Thank you very much for explaining about the two SBF files. :good:

Question 1: -- Before I can start with the procedure to root my DFP-231 asia retail, I would like to know If there is any method to backup this ROM (Factory made) and then use it when I need to claim warranty.

:angel:

Question 2: -- Are these two SBF files (in steps 2 and 4 ) fixed SBF or full SBF. If I am to install full SBF then I would not be able to revert back to the factory setted SBF so a fixed SBF should give me an option to get back to the original ROM(So that I can claim warranty).

Kindly correct me if I'm wrong with my assumptions.

Thanks and Regards,
Vic

Ans 1: Sorry, Without root you cannot take a backup of your current ROM.

Ans 2: You can revert back to original non-rooted defy anytime by just flashing the unrooted sbf again. You can do a search of stock sbfs of defy+ or try in the thread i have linked here :

There are two threads in the dev section already covering everything. What is the need of another.?

Just making things redundant & confusing.
Moreover flashing anything won't modify bl7 kernel or make it compatible.

.

Is there a way to overclock stock rooted rom??

Use SetVsel.
