How to Root Motorola Defy (MB525) and Motorola Defy+ (MB526)

Featured Replies

Thanks a lot! It worked for me: MB525, Boatloader 9.10, using Superoneclick (default method worked). The Superoneclick link to dropbox is not working for me now but the program can be found easily on download.cnet.com . I needed to disable my virusscanner (Avira) before start of downloading Superoneclick. The Superoneclick guy deserves a serious 'thank you' and a lot of donations.

after doing all the steps my phone will have jellybean is this right??.......if yes then i want to know how i will have ics

no it won't, this method is just to make your phone be rooted...there is another method to install custom ROMs like GB, ICS or JB

i have bootloader 9.10 and version 45.0.2310.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03...is that mean my phone is rooted i havent done anything yet this is the version i got after i officially update to 2.3.6

seems like your phone isn't rooted yet, since you said you just made an official update... To check install the root checker app from store. If it isn't rooted follow the steps in the OP

I've got BL7 on my Defy+.  It's not yet rooted, and it seems to me that the 2nd method requires a factory reset, which means I can't do a nandroid backup of my phone before rooting it.  Is this correct?

Guys, I have just successfully rooted my MB526 Defy+ but now appears a problem with signal. It is very low and most of the time, I even don't have any signal at all.  #-o Has anyone had the same problem after rooting?
