Attention: By this method, you use an old leak rooted /system, but the others are newest.
And walter79 said he will release a new rooted nandroid backup tomorrow.
This method has worked for my M2.
1.Follow the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169038
2.But replace the fixedsbf with this new one http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8YN9JY8B
The first boot may take a longer time, please wait for at least 5 min.
[updated]3.Once you get your phone rooted, for google services, come here http://android.modaco.com/topic/335141-addoncm7-updated-more-google-apps-2011-07-29/

you will need it to flash the fixedsbf
I mean, I'm still using the 2.2, in order to install the whole thing, I need to flash the 2.3.4 first, but I don't know how to do that.

I think you mistake something. you dont need to flash the 2.3.4, but the fixsbf.
And this will teach you how to use RSD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914071
So your saying that the file I downloaded that has 170mb 7ziped is not what I need to get GB?

Yes. actually the 2.3.4 has been divided into 2parts: nandroid backup and fixed sbf.
So how can I flash the fixed sbf?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914071
When I tried that the flashing process failed.
Before flashing, press power button+camera button+vol up key to enter bootloader mode.
Ok, see if I'm thinking correctly.
First download the nandroid backup from the another post of the unsigned leak and use it with CWM.
Second flash the milestone2 using the fixed sbf you posted
Yes and yes...
thanks, gonna try it now, wish me luck
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.

2.3.6 is still unrootable (at least some of them - the ones with BL7). Looks like yours is one of them.

And what was your stock ROM? One Click Root also works on Defy+, but up to BL6. BL7 is unrootable yet.
Works on my defy+ ! 2.3.6
I rooted my Defy+ a month or so back when it was on 2.3.4 and worked fine. Phone was unrooted and reset and recently updated to 2.3.6 (UK) and it won't root Could it have been upgraded to BL7 too?Annoyed with myself for unrooting and then for updating.
What does this BL6/BL7 stand for? How do you which one you have?
BL = Bootloader
As for the version, in Dev's section there's a sticky thread, called "SBF...smth", where you could check what version is the Bootloader for any particular build.

I am a noob. and I am grateful you gave a link to something that could help me.
I am a little weary though.
1. Okay how do you Flash a device without having rooted it first? I have read on a few fourms that you should backup your current rom so you can always go back to that if you need to. But everything I've read says you need Super User in order to back up your current ROM.. so it's kinda a loop. I can't flash without rooting and I can't root without flashing
2. I guess all of my worries can be resloved by the idea "I can go back to what I used to have"... can someone asnswer this please?
hi guys the other day i had my Moto Defy not Defy+ so i wanted to upgrade it i mistakly flashed a Defy Plus SBF every thing is working just fine only the Network Data Is Not Working , and now when ever come to flash a new SBF or a new rom the screen stays black ? so please tell me what i can do ? at least so i can make the network data work i wont mind
ill be thankfull
what the hell, this is the dev section, not q&a!!!

this is the only working sbf for me right now
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed
in the general section you will find a sticky thread called all-in-one defy beginners guide, you will find all the info you need there.
second rule of xda: search before posting.
you bricked your phone by flashing sbfs without knowing what they really are.
you should check something: does your notification led turn white when connected to rsd lite (pc)?
and dont play around too much, because your battery will die eventually (the device cant be charged without a functional rom/kernel), and you will have to use the mcgyvers method...
just read everything you find in the thread mentioned above.

sorry, its late, misunderstood you.
have you tried switching basebands?
if you want to stay on stock, you will have to figure out which bootloader version you have (dont know the bl versions of stock roms by heart), and have to choose sbfs according to that.
but if youre up for custom roms, try any 2nd-boot rom of quarx, those should work.
but i cant stress this enough: read the beginners guide first!

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.
Checked out this???

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.
