=== Droid Pro ===
You may wish to upgrade to 2.3 before rooting your device.  Upgrading the device will undo the rooting on 2.2
==== Upgrade to 2.3 ====
# go to Settings -> Wireless & Network Settings -> Mobile Network Settings
# set the Network Mode to GSM/UMTS
# set the Wi-FI settings to a wifi spot that you have network access to
# go to Settings -> about phone -> System Update
This should cause it to check for the latest system udpate for the droid pro
==== Rooting ====
This should work both for 2.2 and 2.3:
# Download a version of [http://rapidlibrary.com/files/droid-easy-root-v7d-zip_ul8zybybw9iyon.html droid easy root v7d]
# unzip the file
# go to the folder that it uncompressed and run: ./run_to_root_your_droid3.sh
# once the daemon runs, plugin the phone
# let the phone reboot 2 or 3 times
# it will automatically install superuser on your device
# verify that you have root by doing an adb shell to the device.
