[Q] How do I restore my Droid X back to stock?

I am very new to using clockwork but I have installed the clockwork mod on my droid x and I installed a new theme. I decided that I hated the theme because it removed all of my apps, removed swype, and does so much less than the stock droid x. I tried installing another theme with clockwork but all the themes I tryed kept freezing on INSTALLING UPDATES. I just want to get my old droid x back. The way it was before clockwork. I didn't back up the stock version and I'm hearing from people that if I unroot my droid it will brick my phone since I don't have a backup. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!!

There are 8 billion threads on how to revert to stock.

So maderstock, if you do a data/cache wipe first, will get you from any custom rom back to oem where you can accept ota updates again?
So I could use this to go from cm7 back to stock if I want to sell the phone?
I just bought a used DX and am still reading.

I wouldn't recommend this method. Google SBFing and go that route.

So just use the 2.2.3.4 sbf to get back to froyo then download the ota and I'm good?

Ok, and that sbf will wipe out everything so I don't need to worry about compatibility? Much like an RUU for HTC devices?

is there isny way to downgrade to 2.1 in RSDLite?

i want to downgrade my droid x back to 2.1
i have the 30.04 bootloader

It's impossible to downgrade to 2.1. You can, however, downgrade to 2.2 if you're on 2.3.

No, it's impossible to go to 2.1 overall. It uses a different bootloader version.

oh many thanks,
yeah thats what i was thinking,
could you help me on making it go to 2.2 or refer me to a post.

Search for a '2.3.340 SBF' file, and a program called 'RSD Lite'.

You cannot go back to eclair. It just won't work.

Google droid x sbf linux cd and you should find the easiest method to get back to froyo.

Root Droid X 4.5.596?

Hi, I'm going to root my brothers dx for him tomorrow, it's running the aforementioned firmware, so what options do I have to root it? Will gingerbreak work?
Thanks.

i suggest you search before posting --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139865

Seriously, it's stickied man.
You're going to have to SBF him to .340 first and then follow that thread.
I suggest backing up his apps with this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&feature=search_result
first...but he'll lose all of his app data since he isn't currently rooted and can't use Titanium.
If you're super crafty and patient, maybe you can try using ADB to pull the data for him...and obviously push it back once he's up and running again.

Sorry, I sent this from my phone late last night, I haven't rooted a phone in a while..
I am a noob, what is ADB? I know the term, I just forgot..

Edit: also, if I do the method posted above where I downgrade to froyo, then manually upgrade to gingerbread, will I be rooted once I'm back on gingerbread?

My assumption is he has a new stock X fresh from VZ running 4.5.596... You can sbf back to froyo from an OTA? huh... news to me!

Sbfing is the equivalent of swinging a mighty ban hammer. (in response to the above)

One way would be to sbf to froyo and then upgrade via ota. I don't know if there is a gingerbread sbf out there. Search the forum for how to sbf and google for the file.

The 602 file is rooted stock. On the tbh app or at mydroidworld or probably on here. Sbf to froyo,root,bootstrap, install 2 part 602. Stock rooted.
Across the airwaves via DarkslideX in 602 limbo.......

[Q] Accidently upgraded to 2.2.1 after being rooted. Stuck please help

Hi,
I had my droid X rooted and then did accepted the update to 2.2.1 before realizing this would cause issues. I'm now stuck at 2.2.1 and cannot update past that or downgrade or do anything. My phone still things its rooted but doesn't give me super user status. But programs identify it as rooted. I do have droid x bootstrapper on it however being an idiot I did not create a back up. Can anyone give me some guidance on how to fix this? I don't care if it is rooted anymore I'd just like to have it working properly.
thanks in advance for any advice,
Jeff

I'd use rsd lite and sbf using the sbf file for system version .340....check the stickies for guides on how to do that

I SBFed to .340 and can't get the .602 or .605 update. I think as they just started rolling out the 13mb .605 update they suspend the others for bandwidth purposes-my theory at least.
