XDA Forums member djrbliss, otherwise known as Dan Rosenberg, has reportedly found a simple exploit to open root access on the Motorola Droid 3. Using ADB shell, a few files are easily manipulated granting super user permissions. While the exploit remains unconfirmed, instructions can be found at Rosenberg’s site (source link below).
The process could have implications for the unreleased Motorola Droid Bionic, a phone running on the same Android 2.3.4 build as the Droid 3. Root access could realistically be attainable out of the box for the highly anticipated superphone.

sweet!!!! Still dosnt help me with all my missing ram
I had the same issue with the droid 3 that I got…Only half of the memory showed up on the phone after a few days. And it went right back to verizon…
If they truly hacked it, you can expect a delay in the Bionic to block the loophole.
Unfortunately I think this may be true. Unthinkable…
It wouldn’t be an issue of Moto unlocked the damn phones like they promised!
