Hello everyone,
I am a new member here and I know asking questions is annoying when there're someone who ave already asked it before, so I have searched , looking around at different areas, I have gain some knowage about SBF and Roms and so on, and now I have faced a problems :
As far as I know there are Roms and Root software for version 2.3.6 , but they are for DHT - 22/23 , I have spend two days but still couldn't found any post that's directly saying about how to Root the version of my Defy+ :
2.3.6_DFHKT_U_4.5.2-109_DHT-25 version,
So I am asking here if there are one have already posted a way to Root this version, or it just can not be rooted
Have you tried using SuperOneClickRoot? I don't really know ALL the DEFY+ ROMs, but all that can be rooted - can be rooted with SuperOneClickRoot. If it fails, then I guess you'll have to wait a while for the developers to get there :-/

Yea, I know there's SuperOnsClickRoot that can be use,
but I have read the post and the users said that it seems didnt work on the newer version of the Defy+ ( that's my DHT-25) ,
but also I find that's Rom of DHT-25 version ,
and I think I should Root my defy+, so I can Flash my Defy+ , right ?
Those DHT-25 version Roms are all for the older version to upgrade to DHT-25, but not for Rooting DHT-25 itself, so I am a bit confuse ,arrrr,
But I will try to test it tomorrow, let you know if it will works or not ! Thx anyway
: (
I have tried both the UnLock Root & SuperOneClick v.2.3.3 , but still, they are Fail to root my Defy+ , I have searched a lot in XDA and it seems no one hae talkabout Rooting the newer version SBF of DEFY + ( 4.5.2-109_DHT-25 ) , any suggestions : ( ?
There is no way to root the latest Android 2.3.6 sbfs, yet.

So finally a clear answer for me , and I can see there's a "yet" at the end . .. is there's some clues that in a short period it could happen ?
Any update?
Ok,
Now pardon my lack of experience, I rooted another phone a long time ago and it was painless. Things have changed...
I got a brand new Defy+ from a reputable online retailer today and I was aiming to have it all done and installed with CM9 by tomorrow. Good luck with that says Murphy's law. I have this particular version of 2.3.6 that is apparently unrootable by the easy methods.
Details:
System Verion: 45.1.25.ME525+.Retail.en.05
Model: ME525+
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.60.02
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-g6977577
Build Number: 4.5.2-109_DHT-25
Scoured the net, scoured xda devs, I can find mentions, but nothing about how to get around this. Every mention is about if you have an unlocked bootloader already etc. I'm not at that point yet.
DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit v4 doesn't work, neither does SuperOneClickv2.3.3 (or 2.3.1 as I read and tried).
I'm at this point where I want to play with flashing SBFs, except I know if I get it wrong (from what I read), I'll have a bit of an issue (BL numbers and such).
So....an appeal to the other Defy+ tinkerers out there, anything you can suggest? Or, which SBF can I flash that will let me get to a version where I can root and move to some other wonderful new ROM?
Thanks,

Ok,
So, I said stuff it, got the 5.7 version of RSDLite and tried to downgrade to the DHT-22-23 SBF from the sbf.droid-developers defy+ repository.
That was not sucessful - all I got were black screens, but I can confirm that you can still flash again.
So I'm going to basically try a number of other ROMs until one works. I'll keep everyone posted, since I seem to be a bit of a trailblazer with this one.
Awesome.
Follow these lads: "DFP-188, DFP-231, DFP-2311 BL7 Finally Rooted" (I still can't post links...)
Basically, you flash one particular rom, wipe, then flash a rooted version of the same rom.
So I now have a rooted CEE rom. Time to bust out!
Tried to root my cousins sgh-i897 phone now it loops with the galaxy s screen then restarts and shows the screen again. It had 2.3.3 on it and I used this file to try to root it CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS.tar
Maybe it was for the wrong phone/ os ver?
Oh btw its the rogers version
Anyhoo what do I do know? I feel bad because shes been sitting here forever
EDIT: If this is the wrong file could someone please show me where to go for the right one? I can still get into downloading so I think I didnt brink the thing
Thanks guys
Pop the battery and follow the instructions:
[HOWTO] Flashing CWRecovery to i9000m & upgrade to ICS AOSP 4.x ROM from any version
Just a caveat, I saw that you are on Bell but it's a Rogers phone. Bell = i9000m. Rogers = i9000m? What baseband/modem did it have?
[Firmwares]Official I9000/I9000M Firmwares collection [Latest: XWJW6, XWJW5, XXJW4]
i9000m uses KG3 modem (first link above).
thanks for the quick response, well I was an idiot and I flashed a ver of I896UXJL1 that gives me a at&t screen but it lets me boot into clockwork mod and downloading screen... its a rogers phone, Im doing this for my cousin (never again)
Ok so I found the original rom and put it back on the phone.... If she wants ICS shes gonna have to take it to someone more experienced lol
Thank you for all your help
Helllo,
does anybody know which languages are supported by 2.3.6 bell sbf ? I use the dach 2.3.4 and want to update cause i don't think that european user would get this update. Is it possible to use this at international Atrix or are there the same problems with RSD-lite like the At&t version ? Is there a way to downgrade without cwm ( via RSD ) ??
Thank you very much !
I´ve recently installed CM9 in my Milestone 2, but the general bugs made me change my mind. But, after trying every possible rom with 2.3.6 firmwares, I haven´t succeded in any of them. The only one working here is the Personal SBF, here from xda > http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2. After every installation, my phone gets stucked in black screens without recovery. RSD Lite can read it, though, so I can always install Personal SBF, root with these instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750277 - and go back to ICS from there. But it´s very weird.
Bottom line: Milestone 2 accepts Persona SBF LATAM with 2.3.6 and CM9. But will not downgrade to any other 2.3.6 rom nor can accept any MIUI version. It gets stuck in black screens without loading.
Sorry for my poor english. I´m not used to write in this language, but this seems the right place to ask for help.

2.3.6 firmwares are not downgradeable, so you can't go back to froyo if that's what you're trying, you should be able to successfully flash any of the 2.3.6 R01 firmwares such as personal or retail latam...

Thanks for the quick response, but I´m not trying to go back to froyo. I´m in ICS and want to go back to GB. Seems simple, but it´s not working here...

Same thing happened to me. You will have to install stock GB rom by flashing it with RSDLite.

Tried stock (retail) from Brazil with no success. Weird. Was with Vivo sbf installed, no root. Than I´ve managed to root and install ICS. Now I´m trying to go back to some other rom with 2.3.6, but no one is working. Nor retail, nor tim, nor vivo, nor custom. Only ICS CM9 and Personal 2.3.6.
Am I missing something? I´ve followed the right procedures to upgrade, and follow the right instructions when trying other roms. But I´m almost giving up and leaving ICS installed. At least I´ll have no Blur or bloatware in my phone.

That is probably your problem. Using the Persona and Vivo rom. Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497263
It says it's not possible to downgrade if you have those ROM installed. I was using UK GB ROM so I was able to downgrade to CM7/CM9.

2.3.6 personal is R01 which is newer than 2.3.6 brazil retail, you can't downgrade R01 or R02 firmwares, I mean you can't go back from 2.3.6 personal to 2.3.6 Retail Brazil, you can only flash R01 or R02 firmwares on your phone (Personal, Claro, Movistar, Retail Latam)
Try Retail Latam which is rootable and the less bloated of the R01 firmwares:
Retail Latin American M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27_R01_SIGNED_US1MILA2GBRETLAB125LA003.0R_STABLE45LAMILETRETLA_P005_A028_M001_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz
Worked ^^
I wonder if I´ll be able to install CM7 from this rom.

There's a GB Kernel based CM7 from Endless7, but it's not as good as tezet's CM7 which is froyo based
