Help Droid 3 updated and lost root. 2.3.3 -> 2.3.4

So the problem is that I have a droid 3 and at one point it was rooted.

I upgraded to 2.3.4 and when it came back up I still had the SU icon but it wasn't legit.

I ran the SU checker and of course it wasn't rooted anymore.

getting to the question....

Is it possible to root this phone again or to at least force a downgrade that would allow me to regain root access?

I don't have any backups other than the phones factory reset, and that factory reset is now 2.3.4. Which I guess still has something from the rooting that won't allow the SU software through the second stages .

I get an "access denied" error on second phase.

Please help.
