Rooting Droid 3 after June 2013

[troy4331]

Does anyone know how to root a droid 3 after June 2013? I've been searching everywhere and tried all of the major tools out there and none of them are working. Any thoughts? This could all be user error on my part as I am not a techy person. Thanks for any input or help.

Dan Rosenberg's Motofail will root the Droid 3. Remember to unzip the file that you download and then run if from where you unzipped it. You also need to activate USB debugging on the phone (from home, menu->settings->applications->development)

Motofail is here: Security Research by Dan Rosenberg

You describe yourself as not a techy person. Why do you want to root the phone? Do you have a particular reason?
