How do I wipe out and reload??

[Rev2010]

I installed Gingerbread and absolutely hate it. I am so pissed at myself. Can anyone guide me how to get this garbage off my phone and go back to previous revision? I'm guessing I would need to wipe the phone and reload a ROM or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I can't go back I am getting rid of this phone.

If you had made a nandroid backup you'd already be there!

Do you know what version you were running beforehand, or do you just want a better rom?

You should be able to find an sbf file and use it to restore froyo. A lot of people were doing it so they could root there phone after taking the OTA update to gingerbread which couldnt be rooted at the time.

Whatever the last update was, like 2.2.3 or something, I can't recall.

2.3.3 is Gingerbread. I would try just installing a ROM for Gingerbread. Im using one and I have no problems with my phone.

Read again, I didn't say 2.3.3... I said 2.2.3. Might've been 2.2.1, I dunno - whatever the last Froyo D2 update was before this Gingerbread update.

Oh, sorry. Yeah, 2.2.anything is froyo. Heres some links about sbf'ing back to froyo. Its for the droid x though. You might have to find the right files for your phone.

Is there no one that can help with this? I don't want to follow the above since it's for the droid X. I can follow those steps if someone can point me to a froyo Rom. I really want the very last froyo version since if I get an older one I'm thinking if I hit update it might present the latest gingerbread update. So I don't want to be a few versions back in froyo. God I hate this new scheme. Before any suggests it, I tried installing adw and themes but they don't change the top bar nor the dialer keys nor the settings menu color etc. All my apps still also have empty grey boxes in the blank areas too.

Well, I've bricked my phone. I followed the instructions here to a tee:

TBH & MyDroidWorld Present: Droid 2 (2.3.20) Triple Threat

And it's back to the old OS but boots and most often instantly freezes up. I also get anroid media crash messages and sometimes get to see my apps installed. Now though I can't get anywhere with it. Gonna have to see if I can BS Verizon for a replacement.

OK< I got it working. I had to erase all user data, which sucks, but it's all up and running. Kinda strange through cause even though it's supposed to be the latest revision some things appear missing or different. I can't find the all in one screen brightness/gps/wifi widget. No biggie there though.
