Root Best way to return to stock?

[PurpleSwordfish]

It is with much regret that I am getting rid of my Droid X. I really love the phone, but it's time for a Thunderbolt . However, I am selling the phone on eBay and need to return the phone back to the stock ROM and unroot. I saw one thread on this in the past and it wasn't really very informative. I looked in the sticky about SBF, but I wasn't sure which method was the best really. I did not back up my stock ROM (that I know of at least), and therefore need to find one to flash.

I assume that once I find a stock ROM and a method to flash it, I can use Z4 to unroot the phone. From there it should just take a factory reset and I'll be done. Anybody here know the best way to go about finding a stock ROM?

if you are still rooted and have bootstrapp installed just install this file in clockwork recovery ,,,,wipe data while installing it and your x will be as if it came out of the box
maderstcok - OTA 2.3.340 update.zip

Excellent. Seems like a much quicker process than I originally thought it would be. Thanks so much for the help!

Wait!!!! I think I read where rooted x goes for more money on Ebay than a stock x

return to stock, via maderscok, then install Z4 and root it, problem solved!

So I install the maderstock on the SD card... I am with you there.

But when I go to bootstrapper what do I do? "Bootstrap Recovery" or "Reboot Recovery"?

Click Bootstrap a lil pop up appears click ok. then click reboot and the phone will shut off and start back up in recovery

And once the phone starts back up in recovery I just install the maderstock from the SD card and thats it?

Sorry for being annoying I just don't know what I am doing and don't want to brick my phone. I really appreciate the help.

Yup

OK guys, I'm bringing this one back from the dead due to having an issue with the process that was outlined above. I applied the .zip file from the SD card, went to reboot and I'm caught in a boot loop. I get to the part of the boot process where the red eye comes up and it keeps going between that and the Droid X logo. From there, it won't proceed. I tried a battery pull and got nothing.

What can I do? Am I stuck with a brick now?

Update: Sorry for the duplicate post, but after trying two battery pulls and a factory reset, I got the phone to boot to the activation screen. Thanks again to everyone for the help.
