Rooting Defy+.

Hey.
I want to root my Defy+, mainly to remove some bloatware apps and install root-required apps.
I've been trying SuperOneClick, gets stuck in #7, even after trying the solutions the developer suggested on a topic in this very forum.
Also tried OneClickRoot, the app said my phone is root-able but failed.
How can I successfully root my Defy+? I've been constanty banging my head against the wall trying to do so.

Thanks in advance.
Ron. :good:

Super one click or any other software won't work for rooting defy+
There are 4-5 threads for rooting defy+ which works perfectly....
Please use time in searching it rather than posting new threads with similar topics :)

First, tell me your Defy+ build number.
Settings> about phone> Build number
What matters is the number set "DFP-xxx".
DFP-231.

I did search this forum, and the internet itself, I suppose I didnt search good enough.
Can you link me to one of these threads?
I found some threads that included upgrading your android version, I don't want that. I'm happy with my 2.3.6, just want to root.
Thanks in advance. :)

As expected.
DFP-231 build has new bootloader version called BL7, it's newer and any root program won't work on it.
Here, if you use this build number to do the search, this topic might show up; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
Flashing rooted rom is the only way we have for BL7 device.
Hi.
I'm kind of a dummy about "flashing", what does it mean?
Can you explain to me or simply just point me out to a guide about how to flash rooted rom?
Thanks!

Those rooted roms I provide are also DFP-231, android 2.3.6 the same as your current stock rom. So no worries.

But it's baseband may differ from your region, read about and use Basebandswitcher to fix it after root.

Now my phone is all in English. I want to make it appear in Hebrew, or at least have Hebrew in typing languages. How can I add Hebrew? I dont have it in the exisiting languages list.
