Lost Root After Update: 2.3.4. How can I get it back?

[Hiphiphooray]

I updated to 2.3.4 and lost my root. I have a few frozen apps on my phone that I would like to unfreeze but can't do that without root. Are there any simple ways to get my root back? I don't know to much about rooting, and was hoping that there would be a simple 1-click method for re-root or a in depth guide for dummies. =P Thanks

It'd be helpful if you could give us your system version, under Settings / About phone.

I am pretty sure that the Motofail method by Dan Rosenberg works. His site says that it is for the Droid 4, but it should work with the Bionic as well.

(I post this, though, hoping that you will spend some time learning more about rooting. The dark side of easy rooting methods is that people do not learn how to save themselves if something goes wrong.)

Can anyone verify this? I'd like to try it, but don't want to ruin my phone. If I do this, and it fails, will it hurt my phone or just give me an error? Thx.

Tried MotoFail and it work perfectly. Thanks

Glad it's working. Motofail seems to have been pretty reliable for most folks.

Motofail seems to work on .902/.905. For the leaked ICS, Razrs_Edge worked great.
