Well a search could give u all the asnweres but I can answer the nandroid backup...for this u need koush bootstrap after rooting. U can find it in the market. Open up bootstrap and select the backup option then reboot option. Once in the recovery screen. Navigate to backup and restore and select backup...this backup will be saved on sd I believe....if something were to go wrong, just follow the steps above again but this time select the restore option once in recovery screen

I searched and it gets confusing fast. I like the OP am taking it slow. Been rooted for a few days and need to get a backup before going farther and running into problems.

I searched the market for Koush Bootstrap and it found nothing.

Hey bro I have a rooting guide on my site http://tweakmydevice.com/why-tweak/select-your-system/android/droid-x

Let me know if I can answer any questions, I'll be doing tutorials on flashing sbf, doing backups, installing roms/themes soon.

the best solution for this would be to flash back with an sbf file
