We knew from last week that the current Motorola Gingerbread rooting method would work on the Bionic, but just in case you needed some extra proof, we have it for you along with instructions. It took me all of 3 minutes and my device was rooted and feeling much happier about life. And no, this has nothing to do with the bootloader – we are still hoping for a miracle or magical break-through on that front.
*Note – Our buddy @P3Droid is under the impression that a fix to this rooting method is on the way in the near future for both the D3 and Bionic. If you want to be rooted going forward, you may want to do this now and then deny any OTA updates that may pop up in the next week or so.

Cheers again to @djrbliss for the exploit and to psouza4 and Framework43 for putting this together!
