How to remove clockworkmod recovery boot?

I just want to remove the clockworkmod recovery to regular or stock recovery? I found the info for EVO 4g and it said not to use for anything else. Could someone, please tell me how to remove clockworkmod recovery and change it back to stock?
First- this applies if you are on 2.2 ota- not 2.1 or leaked 2.2
The easiest way now might be simply starting from scratch. The 2.2 ota sbf was released last night so you can use it to restore your phone to factory state. You will need the SBF and the latest version of RSDLite. Google...
VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01
and something should come up. It is a large file. 430mb or so. (unzipped)
Also google rsdlite 4.8 it is not a very large file. I have never done the sbf before- but there is a guide on the droid x rootzwiki...
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html
WARNING!!! make sure you are using the FULL SBF for 2.2! there is a sytem sbf for 2.2 that you don't want and there is the 2.1 sbf that you definitely don't want.
There may be just a simple uninstall- but I don't know how. I am a newb. Maybe a veteran will chime in with some help?
Thank uou.
I was able to do that lastnight. before I got home from work, I downloaded SBF file with myDX. It took me an hour. By 8:00 pm my phone was rooted again without clockwork mod.

Cool. Since I have never done it before- did you just follow the rootzwiki guide? And was it pretty straight forward? And- how long once you actually started RSDLite did the process take (assuming you used RSDL)?
thanks.
It wasn't painful. I used rsd lite 4.8. I searched for info on 4.8 but everything is on 4.7, even on rootzwiki . On 4.7 you are suppose to move an .ini file to another place. I saw a similar file but without the .ini extension. I thought maybe this is one of the improvement of 4.8 over 4.7. You also have to do the bootloader thing. The whole process took about less than 10 minutes. I was surprised that nothing on the phone was erased other than titanium backup. Wallpaper and Launchpro's settings were still intact.

2.3.9 > 2.2.1 OTA - Need some expert help, a bit more complicated than usual

So my phone originally had the 2.2OTA, however my phone got stuck on the M logo when theming so i SBF'd it.
However now my version number says: 2.3.9. My assumption is that the SBF i used wasn't truly the OTA 2.2, and actually just the leaked 2.3.9 version
So from what i can see I'm looking at a few options to get back to the latest OTA version.
Either do this: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/09/21/how-to-return-droid-x-back-to-android-2-1/
and return to 2.1. Then get the 2.2OTA, and from there wait for the latest OTA 2.2.1
or
Flash this 2.3.15 leak. And from there manually flash the latest 2.2.1
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/179646-new-froyo-2-3-15-a.html
or
Flashing this 2.3.15 SBF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8630797&postcount=17
So which is gonna be the safest route for me to go? Also will bootloader versions come into play at all? I've seen stuff saying downgrading back to 2.1 from the OTA 2.2 is not possible. So I'm wondering if i'm going to have problems because i was originally OTA 2.2 and now I'm 2.3.9 leaked.
My bootloader version says 30.03
Since you seem comfortable with SBF files, get the real 2.3.15 SBF (Android 2.2) and flash it. From there you should be able to OTA (wait or get the update.zip) your way to 2.3.340 (Android 2.2.1). That is the safest and easiest route.
alright thanks. That's the route i was looking to go.
I'm gonna install rsdlite 4.8, however do you know if i need to replace the .ini file like version 4.7? Or can i just install it and run as is?
rsdlite 4.8 is good to go out of the box, no updates like 4.7 needed. Just make sure you're also on the latest Motorola drivers. I'm at work, but off the top of my head they are 4.7.1 I think.
cool, thanks for the quick reply.
this will be my project tonight. Hopefully i don't lose everything when i SBF. I was quite pleased when i originally SBF'd and the only thing i had to do was re-root and re-theme
If I were you I would make Titanium Backups of everything you want to save! I've gotten stuck in bootloops before when doing SBFs, and then had to wipe data/cache to get out of it. Always backup important things before stuff like this!
oh most definitely. I got more backups than you can shake a stick at.
I had actually managed to restore a clockwork backup after i originally SBF'd. I'm kinda surprised i didn't run into any problems considering it was a backup of ver 2.3.15 with my theme.
Yeah, luckily enough there aren't enough changes to the kernel and how the system interacts with it to really mess up things when you restore a 2.3.15 nandroid on a 2.3.320/340 kernel. Still a bad idea, but at least it isn't catastrophic.
so out of curiosity i decided to try 928droid's "back to stock 2.3.15 odxed" and guess what.....it changed my version #
So i guess the SBF file i flashed wasn't the problem (double checked the file name and did it does indeed say 2.3.15) turns out the theme i had installed changed the version number.
It was either incognito....or more likely was this theme i put over the top of incognito: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-hacks/99795-theme-black-juice-v3-stock-2-2-ota.html

Geez..another 'which route should I take to upgrade to 2.3.40

Sorry guys I searched and searched but the keywords are too common and giving results not suited for my situation.
I'm new at this so help is appreciated.
My Droid X is running 2.3.15MB810 Android 2.2 (came like this when I bought it)
I did 1 Click root (doroot)
I removed some bloatware, and froze some with Titanium Backup.
I've since unfrozen the bloatwares, and reinstall what else I could remember.
Now I can't do OTA update.
Now...which route should I take from here? What's the cleanest route to take taking future upgrades in mind without having to do multiple patches?
I have the the_gift.zip (Android 2.1?) Should I flash that sbf first?
Or...
Should I flash the 2.3.320 sbf, then update?
Flash the 2.3.15 sbf and then do the OTA.
the_gift.zip that I downloaded is 2.3.13 I believe. Where can I get 2.3.15?
thanks again
It's called the the_gift2.zip
Head here
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Main-Page/Droid-X-Full-2.2-SBF.html
Or you can go here
http://www.928droid.com/DroidX.htm
Download the "Droid X Official OTA 2.2 Froyo 2.3.15 "Back to Stock"" file (be sure to select the odexed version)
D.
thanks debaucher,
The first link gave the full SBF, but the 2nd link is only a 'patch' only I believe..just FYI for others.
Much!!!! appreciated. I try not to modify too much to avoid hassles like this since my original Droid. But even freezing bloatware causes problems. Sigh...
Is it possible/safe to go BACK from 2.3.320 leak to stock 2.3.15 if I use RSDLite to sbf?
I had to ask because according to this:
mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/5633-droid-x-2-3-32
there is NO way to go back to 2.3.15. But what if now that I have the 2.3.15 full SBF?
Nope there is no way to go back. Once you are on 2.3.32 or 2.3.340 you can only go forward. However the sbf for 2.3.32 works on 2.3.340
thanks...making progress..thanks everyone.
Now I just SFBed I'm on 2.3.320..trying to patch to the 2.3.340 but the RSDLite application is telling me 'failed'
What to do? Rebooted and tried several times.
UPDATE:
Ok Windows 7 giving me too many problems. Moved to Windows XP and 2.3.340 SBF with RSDlite worked.
But now..why am i getting a 'roaming' indicator? Is there any separate baseband I need to load. I'm on BP_C_01.09.07P
Ok..finall update:
Had to reactivate the phone with *228..
All is good now..thanks for the file links guys.
Glad you got it all sorted out.
In your original post you did not mention being on 2.3.320 so I did not think to mention the warning (about going back to 2.3.15).
Also, there are a LOT of downloads on the 2nd link I gave you and the one I told you to download will put your phone (if not already at 2.3.320) back to 2.3.15 "stock" and odexed so you can get the ota update.
(I prefer the sbf method... but some have problems which is why I gave the 2nd link)
D.

err:a5,70,70,00,00 for droid x

ok so after the new ota update my phone was running slower so i flashed it back to VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01.sbf or at least thought i did. well it says its finished in rsd lite but the phone is stuck on boot loader with error err:a5,70,70,00,00. Is there a rom i can use to flash to unbrick? would the vrz_a955_2.3.20_1ff_01.sbf work despite being for the d2? any help, ideas, or suggestions would be appreciated.
You must use the 2.3.32 sbf now, its on mydroidworld
thank you very much
since i cant post links just google "droid x 2.3.32 sbf" and its the 1st result
downloading now
ouch.. you went backwards. Never good to go backwards on a DX due to the locked bootloader. A full SBF of 2.3.340 may be your only hope. Unfortunately not available yet.. Is clockwork mod gone too? If not you can try the kernel/system updates that TBH just produced. Here is the link
mod edit from Sleuth
Thanks to mob87, I now understand that the 2.3.32 full SBF can be used. Once complete, install clockwork mod then flash the 4 TBH update.zip files (bootloader, kernel, system, baseband) from the above link to restore your phone to the full 2.3.340 OTA.
Whew. Nice to know we have a safety net on 3.2.340.
end mod edit
yup i am stuck at the bootloader screen
boatloader
30.04
err:a5,70,70,00,00
mem_map blank
service req'd
battery ok
ok to program
transer mode:
usb
this is all i see
im hoping this works
Droid X: 2.3.32 Full SBF
Team Black Hat does not normally release full sbf files, but today we have received permission to release one. Please do know, that this is not the normal operating procedure and will most likely not be repeated in the future.
and im in the middle of a snow storm and my net keeps going in and out, normally have 20 down and pulling .5 down right now so a hour to dl a simple 200mb file, life is great right now.

2.3.32 sbf works fine if you updated to the OTA so no need for a 2.3.340 sbf
got both downloading now, thank you for you help, now if only i could get some dl speed, lol, i hate snow.
so 2.3.340 would be pointless? the reason i ask is it only has 5 minutes left and the happy_holidays_from_tbh.zip has 27 minutes.
by the way you guys are great and i truly appreciate your help. i cant contribute much but i will give what i can. still a n00b and am learning more and more.
i see now that dl is done 2.3.340 is a update and i cant load the stupid phone so i cant get to bootstrap so im stuck for another 12 mintues till the 2.3.32.sbf is done.
2.3.32
sw update
in progress..
tick tock tick tock
at least i no longer have a brick got the M now and waiting the droid eye, there it is, back in biz. thanks for all the help from everyone. do i need to do anything else now?
You aren't on the official OTA now. If you want to be flash all the patches posted on mydroidworld

Reverting From GB to a 340 Based Rom

Just to clarify for several out there new to leaks. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone:
Going from "unrooted" GB leak:
1. unstall RSD Lite and Drivers, Run RSD Lite
2. Hold volume down+camera+power until screen flickers and release and you should have the white lettered bootloader screen.
3. plug phone in and RSD will see it and run the full .340 sbf
4. Phone will reboot when done into old .340 stock
5. Run z4root and then bootstrap in to install new rom.
Going from "rooted/deodexed" GB:
1. Use droid 2 bootstrap (or dx bootstrap with usb debugging disabled) to boot into clockwork.
2. For good measure clear data/cache, dalvik cache, battery stats.
3. flash maderstock or monster 340.zip
4. Immediately reboot only as to not brick
5. Run z4root and then dx bootstrap in to install new rom
**No you can not install a .340 rom directly from GB rooted or otherwise. You must flash back to .340 first**
Thats what I understand is that RSD was only used for the unrooted GB leak due to the fact we couldn't access clockwork. Hope this is correct and helps out.
Hm. It seems that it is easier to get back from deodexed GB than I thought. Yesterday I did it via RSD Lite – it was a REAL PAIN.
Sorry for noob question, my camera doesn't work and I can't play any MP3 file
anybody could help me, please
why wont it show up in rsd lite
my phone isnt being detected in rsd lite any suggestions. i have every possible driver i can think of installed no errors just not working.
please need help asap. trying to fix a friends phones before he goes out of town.

How did you rsd yours back to .340. I cant get mine to be detected by rsd. all appropiate drivers have been installed and have recieved no errors of any sort phone just not being detected by rsd.
Not sure if I answered this in the other thread or my browser didnt update. To get my rsd lite to see phone in bootloader go config >device id>first come first serve.
Make sure you have all the needed Motorola Drivers. rsdLite would not see mine untill i installed all the latest drivers...then a piece of cake
