Root your DEFY+ 2.3.6 :)

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.

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?

Phone Software Version:
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 :

[Q] Problems with rooting.

Hello all
Now I want to get to the point with this but I've been trying to root my arc s but to no avail.
Now I have posted a similar question before but this post is more to the point.
I've tried both of the easiest way but non of them work.
I've attached screen shots of all the errors both ways keep giving me.
If I'm missing something then please tell me because I've spent over 14hrs doing this but with the only result is a loss of my hair.

Rather than root with flashtools why not use the easy root for ics.
Also check you have phone mounted in mtp and debugging selected.

I'm running ics ( the latest version that Sony has released )

It's how your sd card is connected. Not sure if it makes much difference but it might help.
Also is use outside sources is that checked.
When you try the easy root method is your phone switched on?
Can you confirm you are using the correct easy root tool for ics and not gb version, again just making sure

Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

yes my phone is on and unknown sources is ticked.
I'm using the latest version of easyroot I could find.
also how would I fix the sd thing, take it out or what?

In settings go to Xperia- connectivity- then select the option for mtp.
The reason I am asking this is that this is what my phone was set to, when I rooted using the ics easy root method.
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

ok I've checked and my phone had map already ticked so it had map on when I was trying too root it.
this is getting stupid, it's like my phone is different or there's something stopping the easy root software from working but I have no clue what it could be.
in all of my time with working with android I've never had a device harder to root then my arc s . but the process is simple enough to follow but it doesn't give me the end result I want.

sorry I ment mtp, dam auto correct.

YES XDXDXDXD My phone is finale rooted, I don't know what I did differently to what I did before but I'm rooted now and that's the first thing .
Onto the next thing .

If rooting ics you need to use easy root for ics not zergrush.

You can not root ics 4.0.4 build. 431 using the easy root method
If you want root on 4.0.4. 431 then follow overload thread on how to root.
Basically. You downgrade the kernel root it then. Upgrade the kernel it may sound scary bit it is all done via flashtools. Just download the Rom and kernel and you are good to go

4.0.4 version cannot be rooted directly with a program, no such hack.
You have two options.
1) Unlock bootloader (and lose DRM if done official way) and install/hotboot custom kernel to get root.
2) Install any previous ROM, which can be rooted (GB 4.0.2.A.0.42 or ICS4.0.3 4.1.A.0.562 for example), root it and then find the proper guide to root Xperia 4.0.4 and follow it.

If you've unlocked your boot loader this should be easy. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18445331#post18445331
Flash THIS with the flashtool, reboot, download the kernel and wifi modules from HERE, flash the kernel with fastboot, reboot to home screen. Reboot into CWM and flash the modules, reboot to home screen. Finally, reboot back into CWM and flash this CWMRoot.zip, done.

Actually the best option is to flash 4.1.A.0.562 using flashtool, root it and upsate to .431 with OTA.
Since u have already unlocked boot loader u wont be getting ota updates from sony. So there is no use of flashing 4.1.A.0.562 coz neways u cant update to .431 over OTA.
So its better to flash some custom roms like Ultimate hd 2 (ICS) or X gamer 1.8 (GB)
These 2 roms are the fastest ICS and GB roms available.

DRM is "Digital Rights Management"
its a way to lock down digital media to a specific user and in some cases restrict the ways in which that media can be used and/or copied

How To Install ROM: ===============
1. For Unlocked Bootloaders: Flash one of the Recomnend Kernels; "Adv. Stock Kernel" or "KTG Anzu"
So use one or the other kernel and you'll fix your wifi.good luck

Get proper rooting toolkit (for GB), then we'll see further.
