How to root a Motorola Defy Pro (XT560)

After my Motorola Pro+ died and I could not get a new one I was looking for a new Android phone with a good keyboard. So I ordered a Motorola Defy Pro (XT560) from the US because the phone is not available in Europe - only in India, Brazil and North America.

I was so happy when I got it that I installed my "usual stuff" on it only to encouter that the memory of the Defy Pro is much smaller than the one of the Pro+. But that's nothing to worry about because I can install Link2SD on it - so I thought.

But Link2SD needs a rooted device so I tried to root the Defy Pro with the software that I had for my Pro+. It turned out that it didn't work. Then I searched the internet but I could not find a how-to for a Defy Pro. But I did find one in portuguese: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/androidbrasil/cRs4iU6Nsxk
One of the group members created a how-to that was also in portuguese: http://bruno.tuy.com.br/blog/?p=173
This is what Google Translation made of it:

I never used the Software Update Tool or SuperOneClick so I was surprised to see that I needed completely new tools. And I was really disappointed to see that the Software Update Tool (SUT LR) did not except the XML file that was supplied. It always reported "Invalid file".

Last night I tried it again and it worked. Honestly I have no idea why it worked now but not back then. Anyway if you are interested in the additional links/files I used - here is a list:
