major rom problems need to flash stock

[Centro85#AC]

Ok guys, I had some issues and neeed to go back to oem. Here is a quick run down:
Droid 1 dies, droid 2 replacement
Need to tether for work, root droid 2
sick of low ram, flash apex
apex works great for a month, awesome rom, same ram issue-start having problems going into usb mode to mess with sd card
flash fission- constant reboot cycle
restore backup of oem rooted rom, getting crazy problems (boot screens while already booted etc)
download stock unrooted sbf
after 2.5hrs of tinkering, get sbf to flash
Hits 100%, says turn on device, device already on
unrooted, but system info is showing an aftermarket kernel
reboot and clear cache/factory reset
have trouble activating, but finally takes
still unrooted, still NON OEM kernell. Phone working, still having weird issues likee contant loops while trying to do usb mass storage etc.

Did RSD fail and say it was okay? Did I do something wrong? The sbf was an unrooted oem sbf from My droid world, the kernell is the first one I flashed (oem rooted) but unrooted. If that makes sense.

So how do I actually unroot AND get an oem factory kernell? Do I have to re root, flash oem kernell, THEN sbf? I thought sbf was supposed to be a complete factory image?

Please help. Im 900 miles from home, for work, with a 6 year old Vista laptop and. 25kb/s (yes, .25kb/s) hotel wifi. I NEED this phone for work.

Thanks guys.

why/How did you flash a custom kernel? the e-fuse/bootloader should have blocked that. what version is your bootloader?

You are correct, it is the stock kernell. I was confused by the weird name it was labeled as. She is in fact all back to stock.

With that said, I am still getting a weird problem where it WILL NOT enter USB mode to fool with the SD card from my laptop. It gets stuck in a "processing SD Card," or whatever it says, loop

That's a very odd problem one I haven't heard of a custom rom causing. I would say get an sdcard reader see if that works. Fifty fifty chance its the card or phone

Is the issue resolved? were you able to get the SBF to take?
