How do I go back to verizon ROM

[jnoone]

First I apologize if I use the wrong terminology.

If am thinking about ditching this buggy verizon build I have on my phone and going to a ROM without Blur. If I do this and decide I want to go back to my current verizon build, how do I do that?

Thanks

With an SBF....it flashes your phone back to stock. Between wiping to factory default and an sbf you'll have a brand new phone.

Once you root, make sure you get Koush's Droid X Bootstrapper. This will allow you to make a complete backup of your current setup. Then you can look into flashing ROMs. With the bootstrap you can simply restore the stock backup to receive updates etc.

What do I use for root? Is there a good app that I can just root my phone with?

Thanks

if you root and flash a rom like Apex 1.3.1 or GummyJar 2.5 your phone wil not be buggy and you will never think again about returning it.

Hi All,
I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I'm a total newbie when discussing Rooting and Roms. I have a DX, had it for a couple of months and I've got to admit, I LOVE THE DAMN THING!!, but I hate all the crap bloatware on the phone and would love to get rid of most of it. I have z4root and was thinking of using it. How does someone flash a rom? Do you get Bootstrapper and install it prior to Rooting, or after you Root? Can you keep the original Verizon Rom, or does that defeat the purpose of Rooting your Droid. Is there anywhere whether in this forum, or literature somewhere that will explain rooting and all the technical lingo everyone is using. After listening to a few posts, my head is spinning trying to figure out what the heck everyone is talking about ( does wonder for my ego ). I want to thank this forum, people here are incredible and very helpful, and even though you are all speaking in some God forsaken long lost form of English, I am still in awe of everyone here. Thanks for whatever help you can give me, and thanks in advance for having the patience to do so.

I have rooted for the free wireless tethering but haven't taken any bloatware off yet. I used to install roms when I had WM 6.5 and I think they are harder than android to install. Like you I haven't taken the jump to installing roms on my X.

At the top of the main Droid X fourm screen you will see links at the top and one of them says ALL THINGS ROOT! It has all the info you need to root, overclocking, and roms. I think you gotta be rooted first. Gonna get the bootstrap for DX app from the market and start my android rom goodness! Hope this helps you not the only one kinda hesitant about the rom plunge eventhough im a vet at WM 6.5 roms android a little different.
