The upgraded version of Motorla Defy - The Defy + is lunched and im wondering if
there is any possibility to use Defy (1st gen) custom roms and root tools on the '2nd gen?
Greatful for answers.
Since its almost the same hardware everything is compatible with the Defy+ cept the battery issue hasn't been resolved yet. It wont charge completely.

Problem is, that Defy+ cant be even rooted :-/ . But its pretty fresh, so lets give it some time. Stock FW is pretty good ... even freeRAM is pretty low.

People are already using Defy custom Roms such as CM7 on it. Rooting should not be a concern.

Yeah I have read this about 3times, but carstenx90 is pretty advanced user and he doesnt write, how he finally did it . I'm new with Android - I used to flash ROMs on WM .
Did you try SuperOneClick?
Try DoRoot method if that doesn't work.

Hi All, In a post on this thread Fisik says the Defy + can't be rooted. I beg to differ. I have Defy + and, though rooting with superoneclick failed, "Droid 3 Root" worked perfectly and quickly so my Defy + is now rooted running sim free unbranded UK stock firmware.

Yes, as written in SuperOneClick thread, most ppl got problem with new devices and SOC - always stucking on step 7 ... so that's why Im asking. Stock ROM is pretty fine, but I want 720p recording and if I can free some RAM, it would be nice.
but thanks anyway for every option
chuisana : thanks for info and guide .. I'll try tomorrow and give feedback

My defy is a telstra branded unit running 2.3.6
I wouldn't bother with other roms just yet, mostly because of any telstra specific tweaks that you might lose, like nextG... Almost no other counties are using it, so any modded ROM based on a foreign ROM won't work without further tweaking. So bone up on how to get things working again should they break.
Once you've got the defy+ rooted you can remove the God awful telstraone app...it's pure poop. Just setup URL shortcuts to the services it tried to supply.
I'm on hols ATM and will try to cut out as much of blur as possible once i'm home.
Sent from my rooted defy+ 2.3.6 ;-)
i used SuperOneClick v2.3.1.0 and it worked whitout a problem
My response was more aimed at OP, and gauged by his avatar.
Telstra branded phones with 2.3.4, or once updated to 2.3.6, won't root with oneclick. Not the batch I experienced anyway.
NextG is a low freq variant of 3G chosen by telstra to cope with Australia's vast open spaces; hence they employ a custom production ROM. So what works in one country, on one carrier, won't necessarily work everywhere or any where else.

It's easy. Use SuperOneClick and as the name suggests it's just one click! The lastest version works on just about any android phone, including Defy+. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
To install Cyanogenmod, there is a simple guide in a FAQ posted in the forum by one of the Dev's - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
The way to install MIUI is basicly the same idea, except when it says to flash "update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed.zip"you flash the MIUI zip file instead.
SuperOneClick doesn't work with the defy+

DooMLoRD and the latest version of SuperOneClick both use the same exploit (called zergrush). This appears to have been fixed in the latest versions of 2.3.6 shipping on the Defy+, hence no root for the moment.

Sorry, not at the present time. Just have to wait until someone finds another loophole that can be exploited, I guess. Might be worth keeping an eye on the main SuperOneClick thread for news - the dev does say on his blog that he's planning to focus on Motorola phones next. In the mean time I am looking forward (not much) to life with a non-rooted phone, depending on how mine comes back from UK repair agent (having managed to brick it by attempting to flash incompatible SBFs in the hope that one would then be rootable).
How are you supposed to make any kind of useful backups without ClockWorkMod and Titanium Backup?
Apparently SuperOneClick v2.3.3, releaed a few hours ago, has added a new exploit to root on "Motorola." Might be worth having another try with the latest version!
SuperOneClick Does work with my Defy+
SuperOneClick 2.3.3 worked fine rooting my defy plus.

No, it doesn't..! You can root it, I did it just yesterday, using SuperOneClickRoot. I've got a DEFY+, too.
But it does mean that once you flash a newer kernel, you can't go back to an older version. That has nothing to do with rooting, but it does with flashing.

And what was your stock ROM? One Click Root also works on Defy+, but up to BL6. BL7 is unrootable yet.
Works on my defy+ ! 2.3.6
I rooted my Defy+ a month or so back when it was on 2.3.4 and worked fine. Phone was unrooted and reset and recently updated to 2.3.6 (UK) and it won't root Could it have been upgraded to BL7 too?Annoyed with myself for unrooting and then for updating.
What does this BL6/BL7 stand for? How do you which one you have?
BL = Bootloader
As for the version, in Dev's section there's a sticky thread, called "SBF...smth", where you could check what version is the Bootloader for any particular build.

I am a noob. and I am grateful you gave a link to something that could help me.
I am a little weary though.
1. Okay how do you Flash a device without having rooted it first? I have read on a few fourms that you should backup your current rom so you can always go back to that if you need to. But everything I've read says you need Super User in order to back up your current ROM.. so it's kinda a loop. I can't flash without rooting and I can't root without flashing
2. I guess all of my worries can be resloved by the idea "I can go back to what I used to have"... can someone asnswer this please?
Hello,
I have a new Defy+ and I would like to install cm10 on it.
I have tried to follow the All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide and I have started to read it from the start.
I got to the "Rooting" part which is divided by if I have "BL7" or not.
However, nowhere on this guide (and nowhere I looked) have I found what is exactly "BL7" or more importantly - how to tell if I have BL7 or not.
I would like to follow the guide exactly so I won't harm my device, but I can't tell if I should to the instruction for devices with BL7 or not.
Can someone please tell me how to find out if a Defy+ have BL7 or not ?
Give the firmware version in the settings app. DFP 231, 188 is bl7
