Are you ready to root your Motorola Android device with Android 2.3.4? Maybe you just picked up the Motorola Droid Bionic and you want to root it and remove that bloatware! Thanks to Pete Souza and his one-click Motorola Root Tools you can do it. The Bionic and any other Motorola devices running Gingerbread, Android 2.3.4 such as the Droid X2 or Droid 3 can be rooted quite easily. You just need the correct USB driver and the cable that came with your phone. Pete has provided easy to follow instructions for Windows, Mac, and Linux so you’ll ready to root in no time!

WARNING – Currently you can not roll back the Bionic to the factory state. Once root is complete, it’s permanent (at least for now). Also, Motorola is will most likely patch this method shortly, so be aware in those OTA updates if you’re considering doing this. So, if you read the warning and would like to give it a go, head on over to http://www.psouza4.com/Bionic/ for instructions.
