Root ClockworkMod Recovery...Stuck! Help me out?

[Valiant4Funk]

I'm restoring my most recent backup using ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.6, and I'm stuck on the recovery step. I'm new to rooting android, and only performed my first root last week.
My screen looks like this:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.6
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoring system...
Restoring data...
browser.db

(\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\) -the progress bar- is NOT moving at all.

And it has been stuck on "browser.db" for over an hour.



Here's what I've done...
-It's a droid X, running 2.2, recently rooted with Z4root (1.3.0)

-I noticed that android 2.3 was available, and I downloaded it.

-Before installing, I figured I would rename all the apps back to .apk (like blockbuster and skype) that I changed to a .bak file to reduce bloat, and then i used Z4root to unroot my phone. (all that so the update would apply properly)

-I then tried to install android 2.3, and my X rebooted, and said "update failed."

-I tried again, and ClockworkMod came up on boot. I figured I had ****ed something up, so i restored my last (and only) backup that i had made with ClockworkMod.

-and....well here I am. The ironic thing is that I have a bunch of calls I have to make. I'm almost tempted to pull the battery and do a factory reset....but I'm not entirely convinced that would work.

What should I do? I really would prefer to NOT do a factory reset. For current purposes, let's say that time is NOT a factor. Please help!

You may be having the problems because you unrooted the phone so you might have to sbf the phone back to stock then re-root. Be careful of what version bootloader you have because it is important if you sbf an image that is not compatible.

Ahhhh...Not sure why it never occurred to me that I need root to perform the restore...I'll give that a shot.

Edit 1246: I pulled the battery and tried to start the phone in boot loader mode, and to my surprise it booted up normally! Then i tried to use various app on the phone, and the majority, including the browser, were broken. the Factory Reset option, however, wasn't! Resetting now....and microwaving leftover Thai food....

Edit 1557: Reset, rerooted, restoring my backup aaaaaaaaand....i seem to be back where i started. Stuck on browser.db. Well im gonna just leave it and hope it works when i get back at midnight. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to restore using clockworkmod?

Fixed!
