SERIOUS trouble rooting my DEFY+ [ Please help :'( ]

I bought my defy+ on the 3rd of May 2012..
It came pre-installed with android 2.3.6
System Version: 45.0.2310.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.03
Kernel version: [email protected] #1
Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-231
I wanna root it.
I tried the following, but they just didn't work:
1. SuperOneClick (all the versions).
2. Easy root AAD
I'm just about to loose my mind.
I heard that the moto defy+ comes out with a new un-rootable chinese ROM.
And that is just fueling my disappointment with this device.
Please guide me as I'm fairly new to this stuff.
P.S.: 1 more silly question.. Without rooting my device, can i flash my device with a custom ROM (eg. Cyanogen mod 7, etc.) which is previously rooted ?

when you update via ota no files are deleted and updating to latest version is always good thing to do.

The firmware updates are usually for stability, new kernels etc. These firmwares updates are not applicable to custom roms.
Nope data isn't lost in OTA updates. Not sure about the KIES ones but I reckon they wont do anything bad.

I think you're going to apply the OTA Updates for the ROM you're using. Am I right? Well, you can apply it SAFELY by following instructions carefully.
Press THANKS

you cannot root with MF3 firmware... welcome to the club!

Sorry but you posted this in the wrong thread, this is for Android Development. Try Questions & Answers or in the actual motochopper thread.

im going to help you out. The Baseband Version: I337UCUAMF3 is not rootable. So you wont be able to root unless you can go exchange it for another new one. if not, you're screwed till they find a root for MF3.
Also you shouldnt post in the Development section. Leave all your questions in the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section. which can be found here.

sorry about that guys. Thanks for the help though i appreciate it!

Be careful, make sure it's the right model.

I think you can't find the "official" ROM for this clone, try to Download a ROM from another device with the same specs.
