No you will not be able to update. You will need to backup your phone using droid x bootstrap before any mods/rom's/themes so u have a place to revert back to.
Check out my guide for starting out:

Can someone point me to "dummy" directions for flashing sbf? I'm trying to return to stock so I can update to the leaked froyo. Any help would be awesome.

HTC devices don't use sbf, it's a Moto thing. Check in the Aria forum.

No you have to use one of the methods in the link on the second post. The D1 way won't work for the D2 Moto changed stuff so rooting is harder.

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?

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)

Go there, and download that. Make sure your phone is connected via "charge only" then just press any key to start the root.

Only works on the Xprt, as far as I know. You could try it though, it wouldn't cause any harm.

Don't know about the pro, but you can upgrade your xprt to gingerbread now, and use the download I posted above to root it
