Hi All,
I am beginner in rooting. I own Motorola Defy+
When I check my mobile status I found following information
System version: -45.0.2310.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03
Model number: -MB526
Android version: -2.3.6
Baseband version: -EPU93_U_00.60.03
Kernel version: -2.6.32.9-ge281b6e
[email protected]#1
Build number: -4.5.1-134_DFP-231
Now my question is how to identify Boot-loader version from above info?
And if anybody answer me how to root this mobile as I want to update my Android Version it will be great, even if someone point me towards any link which explains process which is easy to understand for beginners like me, then it will really helpful for me!
As from last 4-5 days I got confuse with various tools & various links, which one to follow?
Thanks in Advance!
I dont have moto defy+ but i rooted my moto defy.with out the +...i did using super one click root, just make sure you have updated drivers and you should be able to root.

Hey there,
I want to update my phone to 4.3 soon. How can i install the update? Do i need to unroot?
Ive tried different guides to unroot but they all need an ruu to restore to stock. If someone can provide me instructions or help me i would appreciate it very much.
Btw in a noob lol. I also followed a tutorial on youtube (user flamingairo) that used supersu and twrp to root.
Additional info if it helps:
Software number: 2.24.980.2
Android version: 4.2.2
HTC SDK API level: 5.34
Kernal version: 3.4.10-g445d072, [email protected] #1, SMP PREEMPT
Ok Guys. Im over from the Note forums and Im rooting my dad's Droid Razr Maxx HD for him. He wants his wireless hotspot unlocked among other things (if you have a link to that I would appreciate it.) I have a few years of doing this under my belt but the motorola forums have me a bit overwhelmed.
Here is the lowdown. I can't find anything really on his firmware version. I've spent the last 2 or 3 hours and I can't find anything on it really and I have finally given up. So can anyone tell me if there is a root method that will work with it? And please do point me in the right direction if there is. Thanks alot and sorry about this type of thread.

There is no root exploit for this build, which is the current firmware. If the bootloader has been unlocked, which was possible two firmware versions ago, then root can be attained by flashing a SuperSu zip.

Thanks for the reply. Thats what I thought. Is anyone working on am exploit? Motorola are such asses...of course samsung is no better at this point.
You're welcome. I don't know whether anyone is working on an exploit. Droidrzr.com is another good site for dev info.

+1! Droidrzr.com is another good site for development etc. I know some working on it (new exploit)... however none are available at this time.
I like how people say moto and verizon are jerks when they do updates that remove root, but remember - gaining root is done via an exploit, aka a security hole.
Anyone else on a major unix system would find these patches great because it protects the integrity of the system. Do we all complain when Microsoft patches security holes in Windows?
Now, if Moto and Verizon allowed you to root and unroot at will without having to use exploits, that's one thing. But, to harp on them for fixing security holes?
It's the same with jail-breaking an iPhone. It's all done via exploits/security holes. They are NOT there for you to unlock the phone. It's a "mistake" by the programmers which could lead to a security breach.
Do remember, leaving root as well as usb debugging on CAN allow a person to break into your phone if it were to get stolen. There is a way to bypass the locked screen with USB debugging turned on. I won't say how, but it's there and I've tested it and it works (had to do it when I locked myself out of my Nexus 7 one day with the pattern security).
But, I understand the frustration, but I think it should be more directed towards having the ability to root and unroot via a given mechanism by Moto and/or Verizon. Harp on them for that, but not for fixing security issues.
But, they have answered the call to have an unlockable phone by providing "developer editions" of their phones. Granted, they are more expensive, but there is nothing that states that they HAVE to give you an unlocked phone. I would like to see them give people the ability to unlock their phones once the warranty has expired. Of course, you still have the carriers to contend with as well.
But, that's why I might go with Nexus next time. The only issue there is the lack of an SD card slot. I have a LOT of music stored on my SD card. Some would say stream, but what if you don't have an unlimited data plan? That's what keeps me from getting a Nexus phone.
I will pay 100$ who can root that .94 ota...

Ok, my phone isn't on this website and this phone is the closest to it. I have a Droid RAZR Maxx HD. can this phone be rooted? Current phone versions are as follows:
System Version: 9.18.94.XT926.Verizon.en.US
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: VANQUISH_BP_100730.151.64.17P
Build Number: 9.8.1Q-94
if so can anyone point me in the direction of where to find the root method? would the root method for the RAZR HD work for my phone or is every phone different? Also, are there any custom ROM's for my phone if i can root it. On all of the popular ROMs they seem to only support google and samsung devices. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Yes you can. As for direction, it's been discussed extensively, you should be able to find the solution right in this forum.
Okay So earlier today, I posted this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/help-rooting-phone-t3021051 - first off, Just wanted to Say thank you to: "Timmaaa".
First off:
So I also have this tablet I want to root, but I'm afraid this would interfere with my phone upgrading Discount. (Coming this 7/11/15.) Lemme explain:
I have an discount upgrade for my phone coming up here soon, and If i root this tablet, will it make me not able to upgrade at discount?
Secondly:

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. A quick search allowed me to find your device forum here:
LG G Pad 8.3
I'd suggest you take a look there to find out if it can be rooted. Keep in mind that unlocking the bootloader and rooting a device usually voids the warranty, so chances are it will also affect your ability to upgrade in the future. But to find out for sure the best thing to do would be to contact your carrier.
In future you can very easily find the correct section for your device by typing the name of the device into the "type to find device" search box at the very top of the website (please see attachment).
