Root cannot unroot/cannot update to 2.3.340 (droid x)

hello everyone. i have a problem with my droid x. before i knew deleting bloatware would cause a problem, i deleted about 6 apps. now i can no longer update to firmware 2.3.340. ive tried reinstalling them using apk's and root manager. for some reason root manager will not get permission. ive noticed that a few other apps are not getting permission either. i still have superuser permissions installed so im assuming im still rooted. ive tried unrooting then rooting again, doesnt seem to make a difference. superuser permission is always there, regardless if it says unroot complete. since i cant get the apk aps to install, i tried using rsd lite and restoring with a sbf file. when i click start in rsd lite, the operation immediately fails. i just want to restore my phone to factory. i dont care about having root at the moment. i just wanna be able to get OTA update as gingerbread will be coming out. it seems as though everthing i have tried hasnt worked. any suggestions? Thanks, Adam

Im kinda new at this, but i have installed custom roms and such before. video tutorials are always appreciated. thanks again, Adam
 
i did try RSDlite 4.8 but i think i had a 2.1 SBF. do you by any chance know where i can find SBF 2.2? does Z4root also have an unroot option?

my problem with RSDlite is that i couldnt get the start button to ungray itself. i ended up renaming the SBF file to dx.sbf and then i could hit start. it would instantly fail though. using windows 7, i saw that people were having problems using RSDlite with windows 7.
 
see thats the weird part, the Z4root that i have downloaded doesnt have an unroot button. i could have sworn that it did. thanks for the link.
 
finally! after a lot of help from everyone on android forums, i finally got RSDlite to work and have successfully installed SBF 2.2. all my problems are fixed and i I can now install the OTA update. thanks for all the help.
