Root Swapping phones

My sister and I came to an agreement where she is taking my bionic and I'm taking her droid x. Her droid x is completely stock, but I'm rooted and running theory rom 1.8. I'm completely lost on how to go about doing this. I didn't think walking into a verizon store and handing them my rooted device was a good idea for her warranty. She wouldn't mind having a rooted device, but isn't very tech savvy and keeping it up to date would probably be a little difficult. Another huge concern I have is the way this phone drops its data signal. Is there a way that I can just flash the update and put her back to stock on the update? I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance.
 
if you are swapping phones you should be able to do it over the phone with vzw in stead of going into the store.

Yeah, I was hoping there was a way to avoid going into the store, I've activated new phones before where it made me put in the number and the account password. Could I not dial the *228 or whatever and activate my phone under her number then do hers under mine?
 
with the sim card in the bionic *228 does not work, but they should be able to do it over the phone not 100% sure. You might need to go in to get a new sim card though.
