Download the nandroid file to your computer. Unzip the file and take the folder inside and place it on your desktop. (or wherever you will remember it)

1) attach Droid to computer and turn on USB Storage.
2) open windows explorer, create a folder on the SD card named - nandroid
3) take the folder you extracted (froyo-BS-20100605-0631) and copy it to the nandroid folder on your droid sdcard.

We now have everything we need to take you from your ROM to Froyo (Andriod 2.2)

3) Turn off your Droid, slide open the keyboard. Press the d-pad right (if holding portrait) or up (if you are holding it landscape). Continue to hold the dpad while pressing the power button. This will restart your phone in the bootloader.

4) in rsdlite you should see the Start button, select it. Let the program run through and your phone will restart.

5) unplug your phone we are done with the computer.

6) Turn your phone back off

7) Slide open keyboard and hold down the x button, and press the power button.
