Correct. It's doesn't work after the latest update. I used aRoot, and it worked perfectly. A lot of people have reported SuperOneClick working too.

Yes Can try Super One Click as it works for most of the phone

do you know if either method is compatible with 2.3/Gingerbread? It started rolling out (albeit in small scale) today for the droid pro. i figure its too soon to know for sure, but wouldn't hurt to ask

Someone will take the plunge and try it here I am sure. Would like to know the answer as well. Soooo many apps on the Pro that I would like to get rid of for my wife.

I haven't received the update yet myself, so I'm not sure. I'd be inclined to think that it probably won't work. Maybe something like Gingerbreak will. I've seen around various forums where several Pro users have received the update, but none of them are trying to see if currently available means will root it yet.

I think a lot of people (myself included) are unsure of the consequences yet. It's my wife's phone so I wouldn't take a chance on messing it up since she also uses it for work. Trust me if it were my phone it would definitely be tested right about now.

I'll keep looking around to see what some other people's results are and report back.

Oh and FYI she did receive update early yesterday.

Trying to use Gingerbreak or SuperOneClick shouldn't mess up anything at all. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, the rooting process should just fail and that's it.

Superoneclick does NOT work on the new gingerbread update

yotsclee · Aug 12, 2011

Anyway to root 2.3.3? Thanks!

No.

The only way to have rooted Gingerbread on the Pro right now is the through pre-rooted update available from Team Black Hat.

yotsclee · Aug 14, 2011

Noted with thanks!
