1. Put your phone in USB debugging mode.
2. Connect your Droid Bionic to the computer via usb
3. Download Dan Rosenberg's exploit
http://vulnfactory.org/public/motofail_windows.zip
4. Extract to a folder, and double-click run.bat.
updated from .901 stock

I verified today that Pete's one-click will unroot .902 that has been rooted with motofail.

DISCLAIMER: I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY IF THINGS TO NOT GO WELL!!!

Here are the whole instructions if you are already rooted:

*Open an app such as Root Explorer from the market
*Navigate to the system/bin/mount_ext3.sh
*At the top of the screen press the Mount R/W button
*Long press mount_ext3.sh
*Select copy
*Navigate to sdcard-ext
*Press paste (this will put a clean copy of this file on your sdcard in case things go badly)
*Navigate back to system/bin/mount_ext3.sh
*Long press mount_ext3.sh
*Select Open in Text Editor
*Scroll to the bottom of the file
*Press the the return key on the keyboard to put a empty line
*type the following EXACTLY AS SHOWN:

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk

(note: there is a single space between chmod and 4755 and there is a single space between the 5 and the /.)

*Press save
*Press the Mount R/O button at the top of the page
*Navigate to the mount_ext3.sh file and long press it and select “view as text” in order to confirm the new lines are present in the file.
*Exit and reboot.
