Root Can't Install Update - Please Help

I was running Rubix 1.9.0. Never installed the leak .320. I flashed back to my original Nand Backup - the one I did first thing after I rooted the phone, before I ever installed any themes or ROMs. I then used z4 to unroot. Did a factory reset, downloaded the OTA update and attempted to install. It failed and put me back at the clockwork mod recovery screen.

I'm running:
System Version: 2.3.15.MB810.Verizon.en.US
Model Number: DroidX
Android Version 2.2
Baseband Version: BP_C_01.09.07P
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-ga42712e
w30471@il93Inxdroid08 #1
Build number: VZW
ERI Version: 5
PRL Version: 52189

At some point I caught sight of my bootloader, I'm running 30.03.


I also tried downloading and installing the update zip myself, this also failed. I'd like to be able accept the OTA, re-root and load up the Apex Rom. Was not able to do all of this through SBF because I couldn't get RSD Lite (v4.9) to recognize my device. I did install the Motorola Drivers (v4..7.1). Ready to throw the phone out the window. Please help.
 
Was hoping that was the issue, but it didn't fix it. Aborted at the same place. I expect I need to SBF, anyone know location of good directions for it? I was trying it off the forums here. No luck getting RSD Lite to recognize my device.
 
yes I did. I also got the device to be recognized by RSD Lite. Flashing the SBF file now. How do I know when RSD is finished. It's been sitting for 20 minutes. Progress says 100%, it's asking me to power up the phone, it was already powered up from the process, but I powered it down and back up. The results section still says In Process... I tried clicking close but it said that the process is still active and closing it could cause damage. Is it done? How long does it take to run an SBF through?

Click to expand...
as long as it says 100% and your phone has booted up. your fine with pulling the plug.
 
thats wierd. i sbf'd back to 2.2 stock to get the ota, and when i did rsd, i got to 99%, i got an error about something with loading the bootloader. when the phone started right up though there were no problems and i was able to get the ota with no issues as well...
