[Q] Defy+ with bootlader.

hi ppl.
i just tried to post at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956&page=13
but i'm new, so i can't.
anyway, the case is: i bought a new defy+ with:
baseband: EPU93_U_00.60.03
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e
Build-nummer: 4.5.1-134_DFP-231
so i can't root this device. but then i read that thread, and maybe i still have one more chance.
I get to the bootloader, and get the same screen as Rapid81 at

and free2live reply this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23967503&postcount=124
so i saw what does RSDLite show:
Model: S Flash OMAP3630
bootloader version: 09.10
should i be a happy person, or not? ^^ why?
does it means, i have the defy+ version with unlocked bootloader?
thanks

May be he was lucky!! From what I have read until Moto cdo major changes in SBF(Change how the ROM is flashed,which areas of the ROM) or change the hardware unlocked bootloader may not be possible!

[Q] defy+ latest SBF files - anyone?

posting here as unable to reply to any dev posts (new user)
I have a defy+ (the MB526 NOT a defy), got the lovely boot loop this morning and had to flash with an SBF file I found. details of my phone and the file are at the bottom of this post.
I cannot root this phone now: have tried every method I can find, from the german batfile to demonlord. won't do it. I have all the correct phone settings.
Seems i'm not alone, other UK users seem to be affected too.
The SBF file comes with BLUR as well... ugh bloat..
MY QUESTION:
where can I find a good SBF file FOR DEFY+ that works well on a DEFY+ that I can also root? i've searched much of these forums today and there are many garbled posts about DEFY+ on DEFY etc , and a few links where the file has been removed, so there seems to be no definitive place where you can get a link
to an SBF file on this forum for the DEFY+.
There *may* be some buried away in the threads about custom roms for defy handsets, but nothing that you can point to and go THAT ONE.
SBF File Used:

If you couldn't root it the way you did before it means that that's a bl7 sbf. But, luckily enough, it can be rooted since a week back, or so
Check this out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013
All DFP-188 and newer ROM's are bl7 No downgrade-ability for you.
Oh, and you've asked about sbf's - you can flash DFP-188, DFP-231 and DFP-2311 only, no other bl7 for now!

thanks for the info. pesky new boot loader eh?
found this - worked for me! be good if someone could take it and make a sticky with these details in on how to root defy+ handsets with locked boot loaders.

[Q] Help Needed to Unlock Galaxy S4 I9500 4.4.2

Hai frnds..
Last day got a Galaxy S4.. But it is asking for Network Unlock Key
its running Android 4.4.2 Saudi Arabia (KSA) version
1. Unlocking using GalaxSim Unlock not working
2. Also tried unlocking using codes *#0011#. That too failed...
3.RegionLock Away app says unlock sucessful.. but still asking for unlock code.
can anyone one help me to find the solution.. suitable links will be helpful.
Thanks in Advance

You probably need to flash an old 4.2.2 modem and then use the unlock methods. After that reflash the modem you are on.

I just tried that method and it not working.. aftr downgrading the modem the imei is changed.. then tried the unlock methods..
nothing happd.. and after reflashing the orginal modem it asks for unlock key..

Here is a complete list of firmwares for your phone. Download one of the 4.2.2 versions, install it, then try running RegionLock Away. After that, upgrade to the most recent.
Sometimes downgrading the modem is not enough, which is why I recommend flashing the entire ROM.

Just did like u said.. Downgraded to 4.2.2. but when i downgraded the modem the imei is changed to null. I used the same modem of the 4.2.2.
But wen i flashed the newst modem imei is obtained. And the problem is that unlocking methods are still not working.
Can u provide me with some more methods to make it right...

Contact your carrier and ask for an unlock code, or purchase an unlock code. Those are your only other options if the unlock methods don't work for you. If those options don't work, then the device is pemanently locked to the carrier, which will happen if one attempts to randomly enter unlock codes too many times.

Want to SIM unlock and root my Sprint SGS4

Hi guys i jave a Sprint SGS4 which i was reading can be unlocked and rooted.
My phone info is as follows:
-------------------------------
Software version
L720VPUFNAE
Hardware version
L720.08
Android version
4.4.2
Baseband version
L720VPUFNAE
Kernel version
3.4.0-481102
Build number

Secure boot status
Type: Samsung
Security software version
MDF v1.0 release 2
Model number
SPH-L720
ICCID

Device status

---------------------------------
So my questions are as follows:
1- how can i SIM unlock my US Sprint SGS4? If possible can you provide a step by step or link to a guide?
2- which 1 must be done 1st, unlocking or rooting, or it doesnt matter?
3- is it possible and how can i root my phone in a safe way? is there a guide to return back to stock?
4- what or which is the best and safest/stable custom recovery?
If you guys need more info about the phone feel free to ask, i will reply as soon as i see the question. Cause i have been looking all over the net for this info/guide but could find anything conclusive cause it all point to a firmware my phone doesnt have so i dont know what to do and theres an OS update pending that i dont want to install yet which i think is 4.4.4 at the least.
Thanks in advanced, and have a nice day!
Hope to hear answers and guides and links soon.
