do with the root application called Gingerbreak
Gingerbreak works for Gingerbread only I think. Wipe cache partition and try again.

My Froyo Defy was rooting with Gingerbreak.. work perfect
just reboot your phone after rooting, install busybox with busybox installer from market and SU Update Fixer just to be sure and check if there is superuser in app drawer.
When I rooted my Defy after the 2.2 OTA update using SuperOneClick, it put Busybox somewhere where Titanium Backup didn't see it but everything else could. I ran the Busybox installer and now Titanium Backup is happy.
Alrighty, thanks for the advice guys. Ill try again soon and update this if I can get it working or not.

Hmm. Which version of SuperOneClick you use? Someones says that the latest (2.1.1) does not work on defy always. I used 1.9.5 and it works with no problems.
I hope I could help ya

Have you flashed your phone with your version froyo sbf file, through rsdlite?
After flashing sbf, try and use super one click (1.7 or 1.9.5).
Maker sure you go into settings and check enable USB debugging, in /settings/applications/development/...
Those are the three main thinks top get root working...
Although I have never used ginger break on my defy, I have used it on other phones with froyo, and it works great...
Hope that helps
the superoneclick 1.9.5 is not work on me.
so I suggest you to try 1.7 of it first.

z4root worked first time on my Defy. It's much less hassle than SuperOneClick - I certainly couldn't be bothered to faff about trying different versions to find one that's compatible.

Hey folks,
Just QQ, has anyone tested whether VISIONary works on HTC Desire? I've dug into other threads here and found out it works on both HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z but I couldn't find anything in terms of HTC Desire.
Cheers!
I think it will work as it says it perm roots non nand locked devices. Try it

Please excuse my ignorance but could you explain what are NAND/eMMC locked devices?
Whatever NAND/eMMC locked devices are, I have just installed VISIONary version r10 from the Android market on my unbranded, unrooted HTC Desire and tried to get temp root but it simply didn't work
Anyway I hope HTC Desire will be supported in next releases as it's great idea to temporarily become a root only when it's needed and using one-click app from the market.
Hi folks, it looks like we can finally very easily get a temproot on Desire
I've just installed the latest version of VISIONary+ (r14) from http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/ Once I opened the app and clicked "Temproot now" then after ~20sec I got a temproot - take a look at attached screenshots as an evidence
The root access has been lost after shutdown/reboot a phone as intended.
Hmm... Looks interesting.. Have to try it.
And would be more interesting to see if Titanium works while temprooted.. Can anyone confirm?

I've installed a free version of Titanium Backup! 3.6.0 from the market so can confirm that it works fine while temprooted
So you can backup without having to root?? Sounds good

It's not a fake flash as VISIONary don't flash anything on your phone whatsoever It's just yet another way to get a superuser on your desire. To be honest I am not entirely sure what it works but based on what already found out it seems to me that it's kinda exploit.
EddyOS said:

I've already tested Titanium Pro and it works fine while temprooted too. Take a look at attached screenshot
Btw, why did you think it's not supposed to work? please note that actually there no difference between "be rooted" and "be temprooted" In both of cases you're logged on the OS as a root Of course while you're "temprooted", you'll lose your superuser level of permissions after reboot/restart your device what means you'll need to use VISIONary again to get temproot later if needed.

Yup..I wasnt talking about Visionary, but about my other post about a wish for a Fake Nandroid. But apparently that isnt about Fake Flash isnt about that either!
I've temp rooted using VISIONary (thanks Paul) and that's as far as I'm willing to go atm. I've installed Titanium, SetCPU and the cache cleaner app. Very nice indeed but what else can I do now with temp root?
You can't do much with temp root apart from use root needed apps.

Would the temproot be gone if you tried to use clockworkmod recovery (from the update.zip rather than a flashed recovery partition) to then do a NAND backup since the phone reboots?

no i tried and since the phone is "shut down" while in recovery then clockworkmod doesnt appear, only the stock recovery appears.
when flashing the build for cm7 could i do it using ClockWork Mod v2.5.1.2 or is there a special recovery i need to flash before trying to put cm7
reason i ask is because on the MT4G you need to flash recovery to v3.0.0.0+ before flashing cm7 build
if someone could please responf on this thread or pm me would be awesome!
Thank You
pretty sure you can just flash it the regular way.. wouldn't see why not as the gingerbread roms are flashed through the regular cwm also

well sounds like you already have the latest Clockwork installed? if so, I believe UnRevoked comes with a downgraded version so I would try and downgrade the version on your phone see if it helps
Well I'm able to go into recovery it's just when I try and use rom manager or titanium backup it comes up saying the phone doesn't have root privileges so I thought it wasnt rooted properly. If I'm rooted because I can go into recovery and it shows s= off in h boot then how do I fix the privileges part of it all?

This happened to me after I used unrevoked. It ran successfully, I tested w/ rom manager and it worked. I then rebooted a few minutes later and tried using several other root apps and none could obtain root privelages. So, I flashed a custom ROM (cyanogen 6.1) then had full root access again. Maybe that will help?

hi everyone, i messed up my phone, so i had to wipe and reflash the U.S. 2.2 leak 3.4.2 something, and when i try to root it with superoneclick, it just says waiting for device, usb debugging is on, usb connecion is set to portal. any tips?
I rooted mine today. On xda search defy root tutorial. It worked great for me.

Try to use this one here. It is the same one used to root the 3.6.360 update. Takes a few minutes to work so be patient. Might be more than a few cycles through it too. But it worked for me with the 3.6.360 update and for Froyo too.

Get the superoneclick files, but do it without superonclick.
Follow these steps, but change names accordingly.

Simple root!
Easiest way to root is to download an app called Z4root.
Its a one click root and best of all with another click you can "unroot" the device. Not compatible with all devices so it would pay to check the apps website but it works with motorola defy

On the computer must be installed NET.Framework, JDK, Android SDK, thus on the phone in USB Connection select Motorola Phone Portal, enable USB Debugging(settings/ application/ development) in settings. Old version do not work on froyo. After root it must be rebooting a phone. If you can not root, reboot your phone and computer and try again. If the proccess stop on "waiting for device", then until plug in the phone unselect USB Debugging, when you see "waiting for device", Select USB Debugging.
Last version of Superoneclick - is the best solution for rooting our Device, with any FW version. Try to use both exploits (sounds something like: "psneuter" and "reageistcach") - you can chose one of it in the up-right corner of Superoneclick window
Try to reboot your phone,keep it on the debug mode and then root it(SuperOneClick2.1 is recommended!).By the way, have you installed the drivers correctly?
update your SuperOneClick to 1.7
1.8 doesnt work for me

this works for me can't promise that it would work for anyone else....but if you use z4root and get temporary root you can then use rom manager to fully root your phone which will last after reboot and everything....
z4root gives you temporary root and Rom manager lets you flash a custom recovery/roms.
I don't see how a combination of the two would or could give you a NAND Unlock.

Typically you don't have to worry about it for a freeplacement, If you root it all you have to do is flash a stock RUU and everything will go back to orignial. I had to take my wifes for repaired yesterday due to the flash quit working. I just installed a stock RUU from sprint. Had it fixed, went home re-rooted and restored with nandroid and you would never know.
Just use unrevoked. Its super easy to fully root your phone.

worked for me on a friends htc hero. The download I used though gave my computer a virus and was caught by windows defender after the fact so be carefull were you download it from.
but the thing you will be missing is the ability to do a NANDbackup! Among other things that full root gives you.
