Do a little reading in the forums here to do some catch up. I personally would not unroot it, there are great roms out there for the Bionic, ICS4BIONIC is usable now, th3ory roms, eclipse, check those out. Are you sure it's not "BIONIC BOX" and not "DROID BOX"? There are plenty of guides on using bootstrap or safestrap (recommended) to help you out on the bionic.

Well I have the kin3tx rom and it comes with the bionic box. My build number is [K]in3tx v1.0. The bionic box was just used to install the add ons with the rom but the rom and all the add ons were pulled from the server and no longer works.

Thats what i have also...so it sounds like if i install bootstrap or safestap i am safe to flash???

Yes, one thing you could try is installing titanium backup and seeing if it works. If it works, you're rooted but if it doesn't work, you're probably not rooted.

Any luck yet? As far as bootstrap and safestrap go, just make sure that you don't have them both installed at the same time and you should be ok. Also, I assume that you have verified that you have root according to your op?

Be sure when you boot into recovery the first thing you do is create a backup. When flashing a new rom you have to wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, and format /system, then you will be safe to flash.
