hi, to be quick, i have cm7.00 stable on my zte. but i cant upgraDE to the newer cm7 stable or nighlties. it keeps freezing on the android logo, and wont boot. i cleared data etc,
i have to go back to the old cm7..
any ideas? i think mine is gen1.
cheers.
I guess it is Gen 1.
So you can't access recovery? Try flash it again via Fasboot. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot
CM 7.0 is only for Gen 1 phones. You first need to convert your phone to Gen 2.
1. Use Mr Pigfish app to find out exactly what version your phone is.
2. Please read here for detailed descriptions on how to do that
Please, read everything carefully.
- Don't brick your phone.
Cheers

Hi, I just got my defy+ and its y first android phone. I am interested in rooting my defy+, but the problem is that I don't know how to root my phone. Can someone give me a detailed step by step solution on how to root my defy+ ?
My defy+ is at android version 2.3.6. I've read some website on the internet that says that defy+ cannot be rooted on Android version 2.3.6. So, can someone please help me?
Thank you.

Maybe you can try superoneclick 2.3.3 @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Thanks. I'll try it out when my computer is fixed. Is there any risk that my phone might get bricked if I use superoneclick? One more thing, can I install the cm7 to defy+ after I've root it?

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.

I just rooted my defy+ 2.3.6 and don't know what I can do with it except flashing it with CM rom. I want to tweak, unlock or enable secret options if there are any. CM rom maybe later.

Best bid is flashing a custom ROM.
Some apps require root access to customize and tweak. Look for that.

Don't undervalue what a custom rom can do for you.
I find custom roms far more flexible and customisable than stock..
I am using defy+ with 2.3.6 firmware, Please tell me the procedure how you rooted your defy+ having 2.3.6 firmware.
Thank you.
Don’t forget, make sure that all firewall and antivirus instruments are disabled. Allow USB debugging by choosing settings > applications > development > USB debugging. Your phone also needs to have no less than 70 % battery.
First I did this using RSDLite:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013
You can do it also without wiping your phone.
Then this:
www.mediafire.com/?bq3mbq6dv37g9nd
Join your Defy+ to your pc by way of USB cable.
After connecting, double click on the file referred to as defy-plus-rooten.bat and then all it’s essential to do is to observe on display screen instructions to get your phone rooted.
To test whether or not you have got successfully rooted your Defy+ are if there are two additional apps specifically, Superuser and CWM. This means that you’ve got gained root entry to your Motorola Defy Plus.

Hi,
1st of all,thank you very much for ur guidance.
one last question i would like to ask before i start rooting my phone.
After i saw "The second method doesn't work everytime" in ur reply what i understood is:
There are 2 methods to root defy+ with 2.3.6 firmware:
1st: using method specified in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013 with wiping
2nd: using method specified under www.mediafire.com/?bq3mbq6dv37g9nd with out wiping
is this right or i need to follow both to root the phone??
and what if i get a call or something in between rooting process!! will it get interrupted?
if yes should i keep mobile in flight mode to avoid such scenarios or do something else?
Please don't be angry as i am asking too many questions, i am just very concerned as its my 1st time and dont want to do anything wrong.
Thank you.

You might end up screwing your phone without proper info before attempting root.
Give some details about your Phone esp the build number, rooting differs with BL(that depends on your build) versions the exploits don't work with BL7

First take your sim out before doing anything, just to be safe.
In the first one your are flashing phone twice with two different files and it becomes rooted. And in the second one you start the .bat file and it does something by it self in tree processes. It's in German and that's why I don't know what it does exactly.
It's very hard to screw up your phone because Motorola locked bootloader and if it doesn't want to start just flash it again with your stock rom on this link:

DFP-231 is a BL7 build. Older exploits don't work with it. The above method of flashing the rooted SBF (where you flash two SBF's one after other) is the suggested one for BL7 builds..
Hi every1.. I am a proud defy+ owner. And I had never looked into the option of custom firmware or even rooting in that case. With my warranty expired, I am now very much interested in installing CM10 on my device. Though I had read the complete guide in here in XDA, I couldn't understand few things.
1. How to find the SBF, CG & bootloader version in my mobile?
2. If iam right, i should first root my device and then update to cm10. Right?? OR am i missing some pre-requisite steps before flashing custom ROM? Should i first backup my current ROM?? If so, how should i do it??
3. Please give me the steps in short for installing CM10 in my device??
Device info. :
Model : MB526
System Version : 45.0.891.mb526.asiaretail.en.03
Android version : 2.3.4
baseband version : epu93_u_00.60.00
Kernel version : 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e [email protected] #1
build no. : 4.5.1-134_DFP-891
Thank for the help..
This guide helped me alot when I first started tinkering with my friend's Defy.
[GUIDE] All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide
In a very non-expert way, you got to root the phone, install custom recovery, do a backup of original rom, then go into flashing.
Someone with more experience can probably help you more as I am learning still myself. My Bravo is up and running but my friend's Defy is still dead.
Good luck!
Thank you.. I had read that section.. but still not confident enough.. Somemore help would be highly appreciated..
Which carrier is the phone with?
Does it have a green lens or a red lens? Edit: I'm assuming it's a red lens.
build no. : 4.5.1-134_DFP-891

I'm trying to find more helpful threads based on this build but I only find people saying they to unroot and keep it stock.
I don't own a Defy+ so I haven't fully venture into it and I know you need to be more careful while dealing with like (Ex. Battery fix and all.)
Edit2:
A tip to figure out which bootloader you might be running:
lazyb421 said:
If you're having trouble accessing the external sd on MIUI you probably have the gb bootloaders. One way to check is to see how you can get into recovery. If you have to hold both volume up and down keys and the power button to get there you're using froyo bl. If you can just hold volume down and power button to get there you have gb bl.

Edit3: I have yet to find a sbf for that build but you can make a backup of your rom using custom recovery. But for that you have to root your phone.
You'll have to wait for someone else to post, venture into the unknown using the search options wisely or leave it for later.
Sorry, I wished I was more help.
First thing first, >> You can not take backup of your ROM without root (Nandroid backup), because it needs Custom Recovery like CWM !!
Here you can get a complete list for SBFs.
I think you have BL7, there are plenty of Guides for rooting it. Guide
(In case it is BL6 try to search for rooting Guide, surely you will find it)
Once you have done Rooting your Defy, you need to install 2nd init for a custom recovery. Then you can take a complete backup of rom in case u messed up.
Then start flashing Custom Roms !! Also Read this First - [GUIDE] All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide

Android 2.1= Eclair
Android 2.2= Froyo
You can't do anything until you update to 2.2
Search for RSD Lite to flash Froyo SBF files (ie stock ROMs). Plenty of info in this forum. Remember to wipe data & cache after flash.
After that, root, install 2nd-init.
For custom ROM I recommend CM10 4.1.2 since CM7 is a bit outdated.

I have read it and did not understand what to download or is it safe for my phone... One peace of info, leads me to another and I get confused.
Ok, so what exactly is your problem? chandujram linked the beginners guide, where you may find that you need RSDLite (the flashing tool) and a SBF file to flash matching your phone and region (and provider if you want) - both are linked in the thread. Follow the instructions to flash the SBF to your phone and you have Froyo/Gingerbread. This thread should give you a clue, what SBF is Froyo or Gingerbread - and what bootloader they bring. you have read and understood, that certain bootloader versions come with some restrictions, haven't you? Good. Then follow the instructions in the thread for the rom you posted.

I live in Israel. My carrier is Orange but I believe it previously belonged to Cellcom (another carrier).
I want to install CM7 because it seems awesome but it requires froyo 2.2 in order to flash. And Im on stock 2.1
Latest CM7 build is the best
@rizeN50:
Have you even read the thread? He ain't on Froyo or Gingerbread, yet.
@Bei60:
Well, Israel makes it quite easy, doesn't it? The SBF-list only shows one entry for Israel and the other thread shows only one entry, too. Either of them should be fine, but I didn't check them. If in doubt, take the one from the SBF-list. But I don't know, if they're GB oder Froyo.
