One-Click root and unroot method available for the DROID Bionic

If there is one thing you should always do right after getting a new Android smartphone, it would be removing all the bloatware. That doesn’t change with the DROID Bionic, and now there is a simple one-click method available to anyone that feels the same as me. Windows users will also have the option to unroot the Bionic, if you aren’t really enjoying your phones new freedom, but Mac and Linux users don’t get that option.

We’ve got the download link and instruction below if you want to try it out. If you’re having any troubles be sure to head over to the support thread, located in the source link.

[error title="warning"]What you are about to do will void your warranty. There is also the slight possibility that you could damage your phone if you do it wrong — and maybe even if you do it right. You undertake this activity with that in mind and are solely responsible for the results.[/error]
