Rooting Defy+.

[TheBirdOfHermes]

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:

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

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

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.

DFP-231.

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!

Thanks a lot!
One last thing, I dont want to flash a new version of android on my phone, I want to keep my Android version 2.3.6. Where can I downloaded a rooted rom for this version?

 

[intemptesta]

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.

 

[intemptesta]

Nah instead of finding stock roms that contains Hebrew, I suggest using a custom rom that (likely) have one.

Since your Defy+ are rooted, install CWM from this guide and go try MS2Ginger! Hope they had it.
About keyboard, try looking for one with your language in Play Store.
