So, I'm trying to figure this out on my own... Some what.

Do I boot into recovery and use this to get back to 2.2.2? DX2 SBF and RSD Lite 5.3.1 with Drivers

Because You're Very New To This Use My Post Here, http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x2-hacks/156070-sbf-file-rsd-lite-drivers-instructions.html.

Make Sure To Factory Reset After The SBF.

Reboot Activate The Phone Make Sure You Can Make A Call And Have 3G.

Install The Root Exploit.
(Gingerbreak)

Install The Recovery After Rooting.

Reboot Into Recovery And Flash The Pre-Rooted Gingerbread.
(If Needed Link Below)

Pre-Rooted Gingerbread 2.3.3 DroidX2.zip

Well, I have bad news and I have good news.

The bad news is my phone is stuck in an infinite boot loop. The good news is if I can't fix it I'll just pick up a brand new one tomorrow using my best buy warranty.

Battery Pull For 30 Seconds, Then Go Into Stock Recovery And Do A Factory Reset Again. That Doesn't Work Reflash The SBF Again.

How do you get to stock recovery? Power button and volume up rocker?

Power And Hold Volume Down, You'll See Fastboot Keep Hitting Down Until You See Android Recovery, Then Push The Up Volume Then Both Up And Down At The Same Time When The Triangle Appears.

Well, I'm doing good so far. The stock recovery thing put me back on 2.2.2

I'm just waiting for my phone to finish downloading terms for the terms and conditions and I will be rooting and using P3droid.
