So my wife updated her T-Mobile Defy to the OTA update yesterday, (I told her not to but she forgot)!!! DOH!
Now Z4 root just force closes!!

You could try running SuperOneClick root, available elsewhere in these forums.
Use the S1C for 2.51. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933395
Guide to Root Updated Defy

I just did that yesterday and SuperOneClick worked great (once I remembered to enable USB debugging).

Have you tried SuperOneClick?
try super one click..it worked for me....

Simple, Google z4root.
Place it in your memory card.
Install,and run. Then permanent root. And you should be rooted and well off.
Or you could try superoneclick 2.1
It just won't root....I've tried the old version and newest version of z4root and nothing ...I dine have a PC atm so any solutions using a PC is not an option!
..plaza help.
Z4root was patched in 2.2.2 (EC05). You're going to have to use a pc, whether it's a friends or even one in a library.
think they'll ever update it to work with 2.2.2?
No. The exploit z4root used was patched so it would have to be a whole new root method which doesn't make sense to search for when froyo is outdated.
hello,
Anybody help me...how to root motorola defy easily??i shud also be able to unroot it to send it back to warrenty...suggest me a simple app for this...like universal androot(universal androot does not support defy)...also what are temporary and permanent rooting??
You can root/unroot your device easily using SuperOneClick.
I've never heard about temporany/permanent root, but ours can be defined as a temporary since if you wipe your data or flash a sbf ( without any changes ) root won't be there.
Temporary root is lost at reboot, so is useful to delete a apk from system or edit a file.
Root either using superoneclick or z4root. Google 'em.
Z4root didn't work on my defy, but it might work for you.
z4root work on 2.1, but not on 2.2.2. SuperOneClick v.1.9.1 did root my 2.2.2, but failed on "Not Market ...". v. 1.9.5 worked on "Not Market..."

1.i have downloaded froyo updater for my defy selecting my country as retail uk so that it iwould be official...but i am living in india...can i update my phone here??i downloaded updater from gsmarena...
2.is it possible to remove custom roms once if installed???if yes, how can that be done???
also if i have already installed apps, r ther uninstalled if rooted??
I have a Samsung Mega 6.3 HGH-I527M (canadian version, unlocked, using it now on ATT USA)
android 4.2.2
kernel version3.4.0-2416192
build number jdq39.i527mvlubna3
I rooted successfully, with Kingo (thanks Kingo! A donation is on the way!)
I accepted the over the air software udate and now lost my rooting.
Kingo is no longer able to root.
I had used a "professional ROM installer" in the past and was going to send it to him but he said he also won't be able to root it now, since I rooted it with Kingo and updated it.
Is that correct? Is there no way of rooting my phone anymore?
Thank you
New here, but I used to have my G3 rooted with stump root. I saw an update was available and I couldn't download with it rooted (i tried numerous times). so I decided to unroot during the SuperSU fully unroot option. The update came once again and I'm still not able to download it. I've tried using root apps but cant and when I try to update OTA it says it fails. Any advice?
