Default Can Droid pro running OTA GB 2.3.4 be rooted

I have try super one click and pete tool that suppose to work for OTA Ginger bread. But neither one work. I only have this droid pro for two month and not smart enough to venture in to SBF rom and stuff back to 2.3.3. Are there any new or easier option for new kid on the block. I keep hearing people bricking their phone and don't want to be the next one.

I think the only way you can root on 4.3.4 is to use the app OTA rootkeeper while you were still on 4.3.3, then upgrade (loosing root)
And then restoring with OTA. I have heard that any attempt to SBF from 4.3.4 will brick your phone. Happened to my brother with his D2. Toasted it.

I was able to use the SBF files from this topic to go back to 2.26.20, root the phone, then install OTA root keeper, upgrade, restore root, upgrade, restore root...... now i'm at 2.3.4 with root.
For some reason i didn't work the first time when i didn't restore root after each update.
Also good to note, make sure your laptop sleep setting is extended or off mine went to sleep on my first attempt and bricked the phone.
