Process for rooting and and flashing a rom on my Droid X.

So, I'm coming from a Samsung Fascinate and a Droid 2 Global, and I'm getting my replacement Droid X in the mail today. One thing I was wondering if the root and flash process is the same as the D2G?

Yes youll need droidx bootstrap rather than d2 bootstrap to flash roms, rooting should be the same z4root...

Back to stock question

Im new to the Droid X and I wanted to ask once I root and flash the custom recovery what is the procedure to go back to stock? Im gonna use Z4root but if I unroot wont the custom recovery still be there? Thank you for the help.

I believe so. You'll have to either flash madderstock or sbf to completly go back to stock

Thank you very much

DroidX does not permanently flash custom recovery. It has to be bootstrapped, but, regardless, if you're wanting to return to stock, an SBF would work perfectly

Any idea where I could get the proper sbf? Any links would be helpful thank you sir.

You have to have rsdlite and the proper moto drivers for your phone to flash the sbf.

Use an earlier version and don't update it. The last update killed it.

Is this a good ROM to use? And will it be ok to flash it to my Droid X. 4.5.621, 2.3.4?

This rom is the best
