Hi everyone. Sorry guys and girls for my absence but now I have a lot of job and I have no time to work on it anymore. By the way I thought this thread will die after it was rooted but now I see it's still growing. Maybe someone else can try for admin on this thread, I don't know how it works but if I can somehow I would be thankful to give someone permission to mod this thread cause still I'm receiving PMs to edit something in instruction but no time to do this. Thank You everyone and once again sorry.

[Defy Android Development] zagonielod:
Hi guys!

Look, I don't know if I did it right, but I had this 2.3.6 because I didn't read about it. I updated my defy+ through motorola updater and I stuck with it for a few days.

After reading that many people had issues rooting it, I have tried a lot of "100% working sollutions" but didn't help.

In my last desperate moment I ran RDSLite with the phone on, and it saw my phone and did the rooting. Checked it with root checker and it IS rooted :D

Maybe it will work with others too. Try it

Cheers

hi i have a friend who has moto defy 525.He installed the mb526 rom( 2.3.6), build no- 4.5.1_134_dfp 231, baseband version EPU93_U_00.60.03.

Will the procedure mentioned in this thread root his device?I mean is it safe to proceed with?. His camera is not working and battery is really bad. Any help is highly appreciated...Thanks!

Flash the rooted sbf in this thread.

I just have one more query.. Now can I install the custom roms like MIUI and if yes should I install the defy rom OR the defy plus rom?
[Defy Android Development] thekguy:
Defy plus rom, but you will need the battery fix. I'll suggest installing cm10 or 10.1 which will work 100%

After few hours I noticed only one step for progress - after compiling CG31 and CG39 from rtgb DFP-231 with other files from rtgb DFP-125 and repacking it phone boots normally without bootloader error and everything works fine but I have no idea at this moment how it could help to rooting.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Did you use CG35.smg from dfp-125?
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
Yes all exept CG31 and CG39 was from DFP-125.
[Defy Android Development] free2live:
CG35 is the kernel , right Walter? This means that kernel can be downgraded
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
I was trying also to do it with older versions but even on Froyo with BL6 bootloader error so only this 2 versions can be mixed I think. Is it help somehow??
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
yes cg35 is kernel

on this kernel dfp-125 root tools did not work to?
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
Nope, not working, failed to copy files as on DFP-231.
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
I was searching for something today but I can't find anything about this. Maybe someone heard something about TP to Defy. When I working in GSM Service few years ago there was some kind of back door to Motorola. I mean there was 2 kind of flash modes and one was under Test Point and in this mode I could flash it with every flash I wish but there was some trick to use test point, flash some chinese flash and next downgrading was possible. It was working method on most every P2K moto but I couldn't find any info about andoid motorola, only SE. If someone know something about unlocking Defy on TP I can try it on my own.
[Defy Android Development] free2live:
If you mean the test mode, it was disabled by motorola... I also did some research a few months ago..

[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
With help few users we tested few methods more but unfortunately not working. After exporting CG39.smg from rooted DFP-231 and trying to compile it with DFP-231, DFP-132 and DFP-125 bootloader still shows error. The same thing with mounting clean DFP-231 under linux even without editing ( I tested it once more) so my conclusion is - something must be in system that any try to modify it ending breaking signature or something that bootloader shows error. I was trying yesterday to find way to edit CG31.smg to but nothing found. I think if downgrading CG31.smg could be possible we could downgrade CG39.smg and then root it but I even could not mount CG31.smg under linux (no supported file system). For now I can only confirm that kernel can be downgraded to DFP-132 and DFP-125 but it's not helping cause CG39.smg is still unrootable and without modding CG31.smg is still not downgradeable. So I think we stucked now, every method we tried and I have no more ideas for now.
[Defy Android Development] free2live:
Have you tried to compile the rooted system dump I uploaded?
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
Yup, the same thing like mounting under linux - bootloader error. System must reading some signature or something cause every try to edit CG39 ending with bootloader error.
[Defy Android Development] nfcfx:
I tried it, bootloader error.
[Defy Android Development] free2live:
Sorry guys... We'll find a way...

[Defy Android Development] free2live:
Stupid question: with which sbf have you tried to compile?

Defy rocks
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
4.5.1-134 DFP-132 rt.DE

4.5.1-134 DFP-125 rt.GB

4.5.1-134 DFP-231 en.EU

On every other I tried system want boot up and this 3 is confirmed by me that not modified CG39 and CG31 working and system boots up normally.
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
One more conclusion from me - only way I see with my knowledge is disable (somehow) digital signature check in CG39.smg and then we can use rooted system to flash or disable check for CG31.smg and then we can downgrade too some rootable rom. I'm afraid that noone did it before in Defy and I think keys to sign still didn't leaked so maybe someone with more knowledge about it can confirm is there any way to do something with this signature check. There is 3rd way witch Walter79 suggested - find way to downgrade recovery and flash it with update.zip with rooting files but after using recovery (theoretically able to use unsigned update.zip) from other version phone boots normally but after turning to recovery bootloader shows error. Sorry for messing but my knowledge about it is very low and I just start learning it so don't blame me if I'm wrong.

[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
the only way to flash a modified cg39 with RSDLite is to get it from your phone (with the signature data). This data is written on the first boot after a SBF flash.

The CG39 will be a bit bigger (some KB) than the original one present in SBF... it contains this signature.
[Defy Android Development] dent87:
I hear you very well what you mean, but Where are exactly the signature that is stored and how we can off the phone after the first of Boot the phone when you flash with SBF???
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
So if I understand there is no way to make rooted CG39.smg and flash it to other phone, only way is backup it from phone and only one phone can be flashed with it But it can't be done without root so it's pointless. Am I right?? So maybe there is a way to backup signature and somehow use it to modified CG39??
[Defy Android Development] Tranzior:
The question of a theoretical nature, Epsylon3 writes that the data entered in the signature cg39 after the first boot of the phone. And if you get a phone with a flashed cg39 and then a byte comparison with the clear cg39 (from SBF)? find the difference - these signatures, and then in Hex editor to edit a flashed cg39? And then this modified cg39 file to flash your phone again
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
One more (maybe useless) idea from me. We have working T-Mobile DFP-188 and we have untached OTA update for it and if somehow we could edit this update to repack it with root files without breaking signature we will have root update.zip. I was trying to make it but even after changing one letter in any file signature broke. We can't sign packages cause we have no keys so maybe there is any way to extract signature or just edit package without breaking it?? I have no more ideas now except this one.

Defy Plus 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CEE
[Defy Android Development] dent87:
This is a great idea but I do not know how to change the package so that updates can put ROOT files inside it without crash.
[Defy Android Development] free2live:
Not bad idea. Maybe you should talk to Walter79 about it. Epsylon3 and Quarx also could do more than most of the people on this forum but they are busy with CM7 and CM9

ICS ROCKS MY DEFY
[Defy Android Development] Tranzior:
The idea is really good), but again, the light comes down to this signature ..
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
this signature is only made once, but if i remember depends on the other cg...

Its at end of the system partition... since its bigger on phone than in sbf..

I dont remember exactly if we can flash from a device to another, but if its possible it should come from a device with the same sbf (cg31 or cdt)
[Defy Android Development] free2live:
So from what you are saying it means that it's almost impossible to flash the system dump if this comes from a phone with CG31 ver6... At least this is washy we were trying to do. Would it be possible to flash the rooted nandroid via cwm and then CG31 via RSD lite and keep root?
