Hi,
I bought DEFY+ with Gingerbread 2.3.4 in December 2011. Last week i installed CM7.2 (forgot to take backup of my ROM) and everything is working fine except the Network Signal.
So i've installed Gingerbread 2.3.6 update from MOTOROLA software update site.
However it is not working properly..My phone is too slow and facing wifi connectivity issues (connects &disconnects so often).
Now i would like to flash either Gingerbread 2.3.4 or CM9.But i'm unbale to root my phone. I tried various tools and none of them worked.
Could any one please share a tool to root Motorola defy+ with 2.3.6?
Urgent.......Plzzzzzz......

I downloaded rooted bl7 sbf file and flashed using MOTO ARClite However after completion i didn't see any change in my phone..
The same Gingerbread 2.3.6 with all my apps exists as is..
Go to App's drawer and look for Superuser app. Have it? you phone is rooted.
Now you can install other Rom READ and learn before installing!!!
Root is not possible anymore exploit is patched in the new firmware:crying:
maybe GingerBreak will help?
you need to follow the procedure correctly posted in the link above.
Dear gurus,
I'm new to Galaxy family, I have a small question. Provided that I have root access for S5 and using Stock ROM. Am I still able to OTA/Kies update?
The reason I want to root is to get rid of SamSung bloatwares and use custom kernel.
Thanks
No. You have to download firmware/rom updates then flash them to your phone now.
Using the phone for updates after rooting will cause you to lose all root access and then would just cause more problems. As stated before, you'll have to manually apply them once rooted.
Tks you all, I got it!
HI.
I really liked the idea of keeping pretty stock (ie no custom rom).. but just tweaking with root / xposed etc.
But.. doing that I now cant install firmware upgrades...
Is it possible to remove root so that ota firmware upgrades work? Have no idea as in the past I've just had custom roms..
Thanks!

One of the mods will probably move this to Q&A as its where you should be asking this question.
Anyways if your sticking with stock and rooted but want to update the firmware as they come out you simply get it via a full firmware flash from Samsung's own Kies 3 software.
Doing this however breaks your root and any apps/mods that you've installed to the system partition however you can simply just re-root and reinstall any system apps/mods you happened to have installed there.
This is not a big deal and is generally quick and painless.
Also remember that if you use a custom recovery TWRP or CWM doing a full firmware flash will restore the stock recovery and you will half to re-flash that back as well.
You wont get notifications about updates however since your rooted and OTA gone. Just keep an eye on things for your specific device and region for updates. People generally post here on XDA about the new updates when their available as well as firmware update news from Sammobile.com
You can also plug your phone into your computer with Kies3 running and it will check to see if your on the latest firmware available as a way of manually checking.
II had the same doubt. Thank you for the clear explanation.
Guys,
A couple of days ago I bought a new Sony xperia x compact (MM 6.0.1). To get rid of al those bloatware, I wanted to root the device first before using it.
Now I've tried a couple of root apps (by apk as well as by computer), like kingoroot and wondershare etc, but none of them rooted my device...
Before desperately trying all of them, is there anyone who rooted his Sony xperia x compact (F5321)?? And do you have a tutorial or small explanation how you fixed it?
Kind regards!

Thanks for your quick answer!
It sounds complicated and I'm not experienced in flashing bootloaders... And I'm wondering if that's really necesarry. I just want to remove some preinstalled apps. I don't want to flash a custom ROM.

Yes, in order to root the device you must unlock the bootloader (via Sony's website) and flash a custom recovery/kernel and then your choice of superuser (SuperSU or phh's).
This will continue to be the case until the (increasingly unlikely) case that a root exploit is found that works on MM phones.
Z5 series had the virtue of being shipped with Lollipop, which was apparently slightly more vulnerable.
Also note that you will lose some functionality if you unlock the bootloader, including but not limited to camera enhancements and PS remote play
OK! I saw on Sony's website the tutorial to unlock the bootloader. Sounds doable to me.
Should it be enough, after unlocking the bootloader and installing SuperSU, to remove the bloatware? Or do I also have to flash the kernel?
Hi!
I think, easiest if you stay on stock rom, you should install a modificated / advanced stock kernel, like i posted above. But, i think its working rom version base must be " 34.1.A.1.198 ".
Or, after unlocked bootloader, flash with fastboot a good working!!! custom recovery ( i think the only one today is a twrp " https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0j3VJ1Xp5N8M1ZGbzBBMTdyRnM/view " ). after that, flash supersu. In this case, i dont known to much about drm fix, please search other forums.
Hi,
I hope you can help me. I'm looking for stock ROM but with possibility of debloating, but finally want to have only couple of Samsung applications and nonrooted version of ROM (because of bank apps).
Is it possibly to install rooted ROM and later remove root access?
Many thanks
