HERE is a video on how to root and install a custom recovery on the motorola defy.
You need to have adb installed here's a video here on how to do that.
And here is the link to everything you need.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone I'm just providing a video.
All thanks should go to tenfar for making the recovery and sorensiim for making a guide. I basically just recorded what he wrote.
side note you don't need to use the android sdk to install z4root or the recovery apks you can just put them on your sdcard and install from there.
here's a update video on installing the motorola usb/adb drivers in ubuntu it goes with this video
Are you aware z4root works? I didn't need adb at all...

yeah I used it in the video I just used adb to install it instead of putting it on the sdcard and installing it. It gets users familiar with adb which they will need in the future.

All I have a p5113 and would like to keep the default rom. I have the most current official one now installed and rooted.
I have seen that there is a way to reboot the device and then use the volume key to pick which os to run.
I would like to run what i have currently
And add kali linux, as they have a arm releases available for download - i would think making a rom wouldnt be too hard.
But i haven't found good directions on what to do with the dual booting... unless you want to wipe out your current install.. and the best way to go about this.
Is there anyone that could maybe guide me along the process?
Guess I should mention I would like kali to boot from the external sd card, while default remains from internal
Does this seem like the correct place to post this? That would be the Q&A section.

I figured once I got past thedual boot parts I would probably have to do some development on the ROM if it needs to be moved feel free
Moved.
unable to attach image (kali linux) to loop device

It means your device cannot be rooted by this app. You have to go the official way

I know that....but what's the official way?

Rooting
First of all there will never be a official way for rooting and the word official from the above thread means find your device on the forum and search for the post about how to root.
Risk factor remains but if instructions are followed properly there will be no problems
Rooting without computer is not supported by all devices. It depends on procedures available to root the device you are using.
Well starting 3 threads for a simple question isn't gonna get you anywhere. Seriously JUST READ more before spamming this section.
Anyway I already replied to your question in your other thread.

ROOTRoot is a piece of cake. All you have to do is Download "Framaroot" from here
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
and choose "Barahir" from there.

After that you have to restart your phone and Voila! Your phone is rooted!
Custom Rom porting
Ok, Custom rom porting is a bit harder. But luckily there is a guide written by Xtreme Ornob. All you have to had is Notepad ++
HTML:
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.6.9.html
and 7-Zip.

Tutorial is a little complicated but i think you can handle that. It is in attachment you can download it there. I can upload my MIUI here if someone needs.
I can add more if someone needs...

Sorry. The thread is already a year old and my phone has been broken for a long time already. When it broke I cleaned my hard drive for all of its files. So I don't have it anymore. My apologizes.
No problem, thanks for your efforts!

Download file from here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9DmzLnUt5tuNzJyc3NNTHVXdUE/view?usp=sharing
unzip and find three more zip files, one is drivers. I don't know which ones did the magic cause I was screwing around for days so just install em all like I did.
Then install and run Vroot with USB debugging enabled....That'll get you root.
Then run the beautiful twrp magic installer I found somewhere else, you'll be warned about potentially losing your IMEI due to space issues, if concerned, back up with mobileuncle tools first. I didn't lose my IMEI though.
after TWRP installs, install supersu from the app store and update the su binary through recovery when prompted or using the supersu update zip through recovery (not included) and you're all done.
Thanks to everyone who originally made these files, I can take no credit. but u can jock me for spoon feeding you if you want
Will this root method work on life play mini L180b?
Despite all the good posts on here I have been unable to get my phone out of a boot loop, and am now quite desperate for help please!
If anyone can point me in the direction of a rom or kernel that will definitively work on my phone I will be eternally grateful
It was ok until I decided to unlock bootloader and root it.
Unlock bootloader went well, as did flashing TWRP and also CWM – I have a suspicion that it was rooting with OneClickRoot caused the problem.
After over a day of failure I discovered how to do ADB Sideload at this thread: I used CM11 I got from this thread: and also tried a Stock one from here:
sadly nothing worked, and I'm now afraid of filling my phone storage with large files. I have added some screen shots of my failed attempts with TWRP & CWM
they both fail, and TWRP does warn me not to reboot as I have no OS installed, but I had to keep on trying.
Another weird thing is that I cannot always reboot to recovery from the Hboot screen and have to re-flash a recovery image each time.
