Rooting 5.7.906

[jojoferari]

I have been looking everywhere for a reliable method for rooting Droid 3 running 5.7.906 and I can't find anything from a site I trust. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I got impatient and tried a method from a website I had never heard of... it worked!

Root Droid 3 on 5.7.906 OTA Update

That's the root tool for the droid4. Works like a charm as I did it last night

Are the 5.7.906 files available for install? I have a rooted D3 running 5.6.890 and I am assuming I did not and will not get the OTA to 5.7.906 (but not sure of this). At any rate, there were files to restore to stock 5.6.890 available and I'm wondering if the same types of files are available to restore to 5.7.906 from another ROM.

Has anyone that has installed 5.7.906 had any change regarding the preformance on their hardware keyboard? I remember when 5.6.xxx came out in Sept. of 2011 my runaway keys stopped and changed to unresponsive/hard to register unless mashing keys.

Worked like a champ for me. Was rooted with Pete's, still got the push this morning, updated, and re-rooted with motofail with not one hiccup!

Did you guys just get this build via OTA? My phone shipped with it back in Mid-April. Strange...

I heard rumors so I checked system update and there it was

I got mine as refurbished phone when the lcd started to die on my first d3

now on 3rd and this one has this latest update so I too had issues rooting. I still have an issue with mine I caused buy trying to sbf before I noticed the build was different

Mine turns on to AP recovery or somthing, I can hold both volumes and go to tools then it boots up, I tried everything to find a fix I dont want to be one of them that rma's a good phone due to my messing it up. Every other phone I returned Iwas able to restore to stock before shipping back.

Eye memorized menus due to being legally blind even when I have good screen I could my movements so is easy to do half blind

I too have been having issues with my hardware keyboard not pressing certain keys unless I press them extra hard. I assumed it was because my keyboard was going out from high usage. The key giving me the most trouble is the B key. It still gives me trouble and I'm on the new firmware which seems to confirm its from high usage of the hardware keyboard.
