Hi- I am sorry to ask this question again but I need to be sure that I am flashing the right file.

I bought a DroidX brand new 2 weeks ago, I downloaded the OTA update. Rooted with zroot and installed clockwork mod via bootstrap.

The Verizon coverage in my area is shockingly not that great and I need to return the device.

I believe that I need to flash the official sbf but I am hoping that someone that know what they are talking about can give me a link to the zip.

Much appreciated!
 
I ended up figuring out (With help from forums) the solution to remove the two apps that did not remove with factory reset after removing root: Restore from Bootstrap before starting process.

Droid X Bootstrapper Complete Removal

* UNINSTALL the Recovery APK (Droid X Bootstrapper) in Settings, Applications
* Reboot
* Run "adb shell" or "Terminal Simulator"
* Run "su"
* Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
* Run "cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper"
* Reboot


SuperUser Complete Removal

* Root Device
* Install Root Explorer
* Browse to System >> Apps
* Delete all SuperUser.apk (My device had 2)
* Restart Device
* Goto Settings >> Privacy >> Factory Data Reset >> Reset Phone >> Erase Everything


After doing this I had a clean, unrooted, stock device ready for repair service.. NO SBF Required YAHHH!!!

If I am running the latest ota is step 1 neccessary?

Thanks

I take it that you are not use to using a Terminal Simulator because the option I gave you only requires a few seconds to do and it doesn't care which version you are using of OS?
 
I guess that was a stupid question. Rooting now

Also keep in mind that if you want to be back to a clean image remove the superuser with a root explorer because the superuser app seems to stay even after a factory stock restore... this is why I did the process like I did. I have used this method every time I sent device in for service and I they was never the wiser that the device was rooted.
 
Cleaning up in root explorer now. Thanks- that really was very simple.
