Just wanted to report that DooMLoRD's easy rooting toolkit works with DEFY+ with Android 2.3.6. Droid 3 root and SuperoneClick failed to root it
Link and steps in this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
This doesn't work for me. I get lots of errors which suggest that the exploit doesn't work:

As you say, the Droid 3 and Superoneclick methods don't work, and neither does z4root. I did have a look at the root procedure mentioned in post #1 of this thread but it's beyond my capabilities.
I just got hold of my nearly-new Defy+ this morning and I was looking forward to bringing it up to the same spec as my Defy. Without root, though, there's a lot I can't do (I've actually forgotten a lot of the things I need root for, but at a minimum SetVsel, 2ndinit and I think Clockworkmod recovery all need it ).
The phone says it's system version 45.0.1880.MB526.Retail.en.GB, build number is 4.5.1-134_DFP-188.
Anyone got any suggestions?

That means its rooted, i got the exact same text when i rooted mine a moment ago
No, it's definitely not rooted: Titanium Backup refuses to run, for example.
Sorry. I didn't read the errors lol. Maybe backup ur Apps and then factory reset.

In fact,no one can root the new Chinese rom

Tried factory reset several times, no joy. It's a new phone and I haven't put anything on it yet, still trying to root it. The version of the firmware on this phone seems to be immune to the zergrush exploit.
I've also tried flashing a few of the other 2.3.6 sbfs with no joy - in fact all I have now is a black screen. It's flashable using rsdlite, so not completely bricked, but the end result is always the same - no response to the power button (so no possibility now of doing a factor reset, either).
I'm planning to send it to the Motorola service agent and see what it somes back with.
I've got exactly the same log and problem on my Xperia Arc S. Really impossible to root it?

1253-8238_4.0.2.A.0.62
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
actually i rooted my defy (green lens) with 2.3.6 build like many deceived ones ....
just search for superone click v2.3.2.0.and download it..then dismount ur SD from the device and Enable debugging mode..connect ur device to pc and choose connection to do no thing then open super one click program and press on root bottom..it last for 2 min maximum...
Defy+ 2.3.6 Rooted!
On the 4th attempt rooting my Defy+ 2.3.6 worked! Initially I tried using DoomLoRD's rooting toolkit which said it was successful but didn't install the Superuser app, nor would su work. So then I tried SuperOneClick (v 2.3.2.0). Initially got messages saying the Adb server was out of date and the root failed. Deleted the usb driver package via the sdk and then reinstalled. Tried again - no good. Copied adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll and adbwinusbapi.dll from the sdk directory into Superoneclick adb directory. Tried again - failed. Then removed Droidexplorer (which I'd previously installed). Then reran SuperOneClick and it worked! Gave the same messages as DoomLoRD's kit from the 1st attempt but the Superuser app is there now and works. So thanks (& donation) to Shortfuse and DoomLoRD.

That sounds vaguely promising. Can you post the system version, kernel version and build number of your Defy+? I'd like to have some idea of whether it might work for mine, when it comes back from service.

Sure, it's a TelstraClear one (sourced from Oz but using in New Zealand). System version: 45.0.1321.MB526.SLTelstra.en.AU, Kernel version: [email protected] #1, Build: 4.5.1-134_DFP-1321.
I just worked for me too!
Thanks a lot!

Mouaahhaa, finally rooted the àç§è(' phone...
In fact you did the job, I just kept sat on ma a...
So I guess you might like to have some details, the phone is a Moto Defy+, none of the well known clicknwatch tools worked for me but yours, I tried doing things myself but had no time enough so tried yours, to see...
Running the script from Ubuntu 11.10
The phone is an MB526
Android 2.3.4
System v. 45.074.MB526.Retail.en.FR
Kernel v. 2.6.32.9-gbad50c3
Build # 4.5.1-134_DFP74
Root verified, updated to last su version, the phone is perfectly fast and operational.
The script didn't returned any error, things were done in a couple seconds, Maps had to be removed, the only interesting thing (or maybe not), it said "All done, you Xperia has been rooted (...)".
Verified, it's definitely a Defy+.
Thank you very much...
Questions about this firmware has been discussed long time :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472086&page=9
But unfortunately so far no good results

any idea? I unlocked bootloader.
Are you on GB or ICS?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Re: [Q] Clean Install?
If you have the boot loader unlocked than its very easy to root your device.
Note:
Whenever, you flash a stock ftf firmware you will loose root status.
So,having this tool readily available on your desktop is important.
[1]Use the tool from this thread:
[Arc/Arc S]Auto root for unlocked bootloader-no flashing needed-by bazoocase.
[2]Xrecovery-another awesome tool
After you have unlocked your device,I presume you are on stock firmware 0.431 or 0.587.But not rooted,yes.
Now for magic.Run the tool,connect your phone and in less than a second or two your phone will be rooted.With the script in the tool you will now have superuser on your device.
Download busy box from market.
Next run the [2]Xrecovery which will install CWM to your device.
Enjoy flashing ROMs and kernels after this.
For any further enquiries just send me a msg.I will most certainly reply.

Plz help me as i want to install a custom rom.
Thankyou.
You don't need root to install a custom rom. Just unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel that's prerooted and flash a rom. There's plenty of guides on how to do it. Just search for a user named fma965 and look at his xperia play index that shows how to do everything. And don't forget to thank them
