Is it safe to nand flash back to stock-rooted FroYo from leaked deodexed Gingerbread? I ask because I keep reading about folks needing to sbf to get back and the inability to flash other ROMs from the leaked GB. I guess what I'm not clear on is what the bootloader version matters, especially related to nand backup.

That's a great question.. I would like to know, too.
from what i have read on another forum, you need to sbf due to the fact that the kernels are different.
No it is not safe you will brick your device.

I got the master stock 2.2 from team black hat app on my phone and I flashed it and it worked great.

He flashed the madderstock.zip file. This is almost exactly the same as an sbf except it is in zip form. You CANNOT flash anything else from froyo or you WILL brick your device

If he got it from the TBH app it is the full system 2.3. 340monster zip. It CAN be flashed to get back to froyo BUT:
1) Maderstock zip CANNOT? They are two different filrs.
2)) if you want to go back to Gingerbread and you used the monster zip, you MUST sbf before doing so or you will likely soft brick your phone.
All this has been tried by experienced folks so the rest of us don't get surprises.

So if I was to re-flash back to stock what sbf would I use? I bought my x with 2.2 out of the box and just performed the update to 2.2.1. I am correct in saying I would need to use the standard 2.2.1 sbf, or would I have to use the 2.2 sbf? Stupid question I know ......

You need the sbf file your phone is currently running. Look under about phone then system version and that will tell you what file you need to use.

I thin you need the latest 2.2.1 sbf that team black hat has released. I believe it is a system only sbf for right now.
In other words it only overwrites the /system/* portion of the android operating system.
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?

I have the Beta5 2.3.4 on my Atrix. Is there anything wrong or could go wrong going from beta to new stock 2.3.4. What's a good guide to follow to get up to that point?
FYI: Atrix (ATT) is Rooted and Unlocked
I would just download the stock images from kennethpenn's website, and then fastboot flash them onto the phone. There might be an easier way though
Yeah basicly the common suggestions are you flash to a stock image before going through and updating. You may be able to find a SBF image in the development forum.

k, sounds like a plan then. I think I'll just flash to stock like bearsfan172 suggested. I don't think I'll run into issues.
seems to be working fine
Ok look for a lil help maybe advice.
I am running the first gb leak and it seems to be really glitchy now and I keep having the auto boots ,

Thanks guys

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.

BTW you need both rom manager and rom toolbox from the market to get the builds for the GB cm7, right now rev is the only one getting the nightlies out to download, rom manager doesn't support them yet, and don't download it from rom manager because it will brick your phone and you will have to load from sbf all over.
