How Can I Root my Motorola Defy?

How Can I Root my Motorola Defy? all the other threads are from last years, any new way to root it?

I have used SuperOneClick... Rooted my Defy I recently bought then I un-rooted ha ha. That was just so easy that I'm kind of leary about it, so I'm looking for more ways to root than just one click software.

I can confirm that this works on the defy.
1 . Copy the apk over via usb.
2. Then install some kind of file manager from th market
3. You will have to turn on Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources
The problem is once you do this ROM MANAGER reports the wrong device so I am not confident to let it flash the recovery image.
If you figure out how to get a recovery image on there let me know.
I suspect flashrec.apk (http://code.google.com/p/flashrec/downloads/list) would work but didn't get a chance to try it before the owner of the Defy left.

Well I re-rooted again after some more searching... Just to have root.
SuperOneClick 1.7 (after root, reboot, than update busybox)
I have yet to try ROMs as I want to make sure I can recover from unforeseen flash failure 110%
On my spare time I try to read up on backing up stock firmware and trying to decide best backup method.
Also I read some where about using defy recovery for flashing... Could be wrong.
But so far all I did was overclock my defy from 300/600/800 to 300/600/1200 on stock firmware. If you want more info on my stock rom pm me, should goto my phone.
Willing to be experiment as long as my phone keeps working.

Hi, rooting your device is really easy, you just download "Superoneclick" on your pc, connect your device through USB cable and select "Debug USB" from Settings-Apps-development...then just click on "root" and after a short while...rooted!
It should work!

I had one of those before and i rooted foloing these steps
http://www.4shared.com/rar/UAfQldwH/Android_SDK.html
1- Download the link above.
2- extract android sdk folder to c:\. And take the recovery.img file out of the folder and also put it in c:\.
3- open a command prompt (open with admin if using windows
vista/7)
4- navigate to your android sdk folder
5- put your phone in android bootloader interface by turning it on
and IMMEDIATELY PRESSING VOLUME DOWN AND MENU
TOGETHER UNTIL PHONE LOOKS FROZEN.
6- plug your phone into your pc, driver can be found in the
android sdk folder
7- in your command prompt enter: fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img (do this twice, for some reason it needs
to be done twice to stick)
8- type fastboot reboot
9- now when you turn your phone on in recovery ( turn on while
pressin volume up and menu) you will get the clockworkmod
recovery.
B08 clockwork backup:

To root your B08 device:
1- Before you begin, make a backup of your system with
clockworkmod. It's free!
2-:

Simple root:
The superuser installer brought to you by Bluntman420. Put this
file in your sd card and install it with clockworkmod using the
install zip from sd option. Done!

- flash player support (sorta)
- full browser instead of mini
as always all optional apps are removable and base system has been kept light. Enjoy!
lemyster also made a few roms in backup form:

http://www.4shared.com/rar/SlfWcnU8/BC_420_n762_B08_rev5_IPhone.html
all roms and backups are pre rooted unless it is specified that they are stock.
backups are different... to install them you must extract the folder on the rar file to sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\ and then in clockworkmod use the restore option.
that comes frrom here: http://nolochemical.kodemind.com/rooting-zte-n762
and everything was posible thanks to smartmanvartan r.
good luck.

B08 clockworkmod worked fine and so did SU install on B10 device. But when trying to flash custom firmware I get :"checking MD5 sums...MD5 mismatch!". Android boots fine, is rooted and was able to uninstall unwanted system apps. Thanks again to everyone here at XDA that makes flashing pleasant and relaxing :victory:

Go check out androiforums.com and check out the public mobile n860 all things root section.... everything you need over there...

What Drivers? Where?
Where do I place the supplied drivers that come with Android sdk? Do I leave them in the folder? Do I put them in Win32?
A little more clarity would be usefull.
thanks in advance!

N762 still kickin
Hey smartmanvartan, I have been fooling around on my moms ZTE lately and I was wondering if you still had any of those lightweight roms lying around somewhere. Most of the links I have found are dead. I was able to root it with your clockworkmod recovery.img and tried the b08 rom and everything went haywire after it updated a few apps. It ended up softbricking until I found another live link for a b10 unroot and stock install on the android forums. I was wondering if you would have anything available, thanks in advance.

Yeah i should have it lying around somewhere... im out of town till saturday but ill post a link when i get back

[Q] GT-N5120 Removal of Superuser and SU from Unrooted Tablet

Hello,
I am new to rooting of Android and I needed some advice on how to remove superuser from the system app and su from xbin.
I have a GT-N5120 on ver. 4.1.2, and I rooted it using Flamaroot. It was working fine and when ver. 4.2.2 was available I forgot to unroot my tablet and went ahead with the software update. After the update, my tablet became unrooted and I am stuck with the superuser and su file.
Tried to use flamaroot again to root the tablet but it doesn't display the same options during the first rooting, thus unable to root it. Uninstalled superuser app but file is still inside the system folder. Tried deleting the files but message shows files cannot be deleted.
How can I recover to stock version Currently tablet is showing ver. 4.2.2, Kernel version : 3.0.31-1210063, [email protected] #1.
Desperately needed help because S-pen could not detect some of the alphabets in the keyboard and wanted to send back to Samsung for repair.
Thanks in advance.

Unrooting
First, Framaroot doesn't work on 4.2.2, Samsung patched those exploits.
1) Root by CF-Auto-Root. It will install SuperSU, which is better than Superuser, IMO.
2) Reset the flash counter by Triangle Away. Otherwise Samsung will not allow you to claim the warranty.
3) Boot to the system (I assume you are on stock kernel and recovery). Fully unroot using the option in the SuperSU.
4) Go to the recovery (first Power off, and then press Vol Up + Power, release the buttons when the boot screen appear). Do a full wipe (factory & cache). Power off.
5) Go to download mode and check whether the counter reset to "0", and also system status as "official".
6) Now flash the latest firmware. Device is ready to claim warranty.
After these, check whether the S-Pen issue solved or not.

Thank you AkiOrpheus.
I will run through the links to try to understand the process on the steps you have given.
Will probably need more help to understand some of the details later and will post those questions as needed.
Thanks again.

Hi Aki,
I followed the instructions and went through the CF-Auto-Root (steps very clearly explained by Chainfire) and now my GT-N5120 is rooted and also apparently, the S-pen problem is also resolved.
Looks like I do not have to sent in to Samsung for warranty claim for now. I also did not do the Triangle Away and left my Note 8 rooted. :laugh::angel::good:
Thank you again Aki and Chainfire. You guys are great!!!!!

Good news
Good to hear problem solved. Yes, it's better to use Triangle Away only when going to pay a visit to Samsung service. Can you kindly add "[SOLVED]" before the thread title?
BTW, when come to Android Chainfire is far great

[Solved] GT-N5120 Removal of Superuser and SU from Unrooted Tablet
Problem solved.

"thread title" not the "post title"
Oh no! What I meant was like this, add "[SOLVED]" in front of the thread title not the post title. That way it's easy when someone with the similar problem searched for a solution.

[Q] help required :( rooting and custom rom for 7105

Hi all
i have tried everything to try rooting my note 2.
I got to the point that Su appears in my apps list but it stops responding and the little grey shield comes up to say unauthorised access was stopped. Also trying to update*
i then tried Cwm and twrp and it has a green pass on doing but it does not give me a new download menu so that I can install multi tools from zip.*
What else can I do to root and/or bypass know? I have hard reset my phone (btw su is still on) and busy downloading a stock 4.3 rom.
must I install stock rom and try again? Or what else can I try?
see details below of my details

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339704

Option 1: Following process should work for your N7105 phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535015
u have already tried this as exactly told, then you go to option 2
Option 2: Follow Dr. Ketans thread.

If none of above work, Lastly install stock rom.

[Q] Problem with Odin / can't flash Bootloader

Hi guys,
hope you can help me with a nasty little problem ..
I got a Chinese Note 2 (GT-N7100_CHN_CHN) from my father in law - he bought a Note 4 just recently. The phone is virtually not usable in Europe, as no Google support is implemented (mail, G+, Maps) and there is no access to the regular Playstore. Also, the only Android available is 4.1.
So I tried to flash a new Firmware (and yes, I'm a noob), and that's were the problems began. I've downloaded this ROM: N7100XXUFNE1_N7100DBTFNE1_N7100XXUFND3_HOME.tar.md5 which is - as far as I could figure out - a more or less "factory" version of a German Android 4.4 ROM. For whatever reason, I was unable to flash it using Odin (I tried several drivers, cables, computers (all Win7/64), disabled virus scan .. no way to get Odin 3.09 to work. It recognizes the phone, but aborts the flash process immediately with just a "1 processes failed" error.
After reading a bit here, I tried to root the phone using Saferoot (worked perfectly), loaded MobileOdin and this ROM to the phone and did the flashing there. This works fine, the phone starts, it has a German interface, is running KitKat .. great. Only issue: The WiFi does not work. As I figured out from this forum, I need to install either a WiFi patch or a new Bootloader (I've downloaded BL_N7100XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 - hope that's the right one).
The problem now is:
Saferoot fails to root the Android 4.4 version - so no root access
MobileOdin does not work without root (and I don't know whether it would be able to flash a bootloader)
Odin 3.09 still does not work with the device
I tried Heimdall, but it does not accept the .md5 files for Odin and I could not find any ROMs in the right format
So I'm running out of ideas what else to try. Could you give me a hint what to to do?
Many thanks,
Scooby

You are saying the phone is chinese and doesn't have support from Google so there is clearly not original phone.
Samsung has not produced that phone so it means the hardware parts are not from samsung and the ROM you are flashing can't be installed.
I read you want to root but I think it is already rooted(try with the app "root checker")
You can't do much with that phone.
Sorry

Hi Manuel,
it's definitely a original Samsung device. Google is simply (virtually) not available in China, so they install a slightly modified Android that points to a local Samsung store instead of playstore, G+ and Maps is not pre-installed ..
As written above, I was able to root it as long as the original Android 4.1.x was installed and I have successfully flashed the new german Kitkat ROM. "Only" Problem right now is that I can't get Odin to work and due to that I can not install the Wifi fix or new Bootloader. And ideas on that?
Thanks
Scooby
