    I rooted my phone using this and it's since it's  restarted maybe 8 times. (been a half a day) blah literally just did it again. i don't know if it's in combination with some other program i have, but it definitely doesn't require input from me. (just now it was sitting next to me charging) droid 3, installed from a lenovo thinkpad x220 tablet running 7 if it matters.

    I'm not able to get it to work. My usb debugging is on and it is set to charge only and the correct driver is installed, but it will not move past waiting for your phone to be connected...
    PLEASE help! I'm at a loss on what to do. Am I missing something?!

    I was doing the same thing and W7x64 would not recognize the my Droid3. I tried everything, reinstalling drives, every driver I could find, different ports, all kinds of OS settings. In desperation I switched to the supplied official Motorola USB cable.. now my phone is rooted!

    A few days ago, when I plugged my Droid 3 into any USB port, on any computer, I could drag down the top of the screen and choose between Charge Only and a few other options. I haven't been able to get that to happen any longer so I can't transfer files or even have my Droid show up in Explorer. It will say if I unplug it, make sure to unplug the power source to reserve power, yada yada. So far I've tried 4 different computers, many different types of drivers (I'm on a Droid 3 with version 2.3.4) and I've even bought two new cords. As a last resort I reset the phone to factory settings and what do you know, it still doesn't work! If anyone has seen this issue, or knows of a fix, I'd be extremely happy and forever in your debt.
