Noob in need of help

[negropy]

So I'm really new at rooting and Fission sounds awesome. I rooted with z4root with no problems. I installed the rooted apps and everything is going great. I would like to take the next step and put Fission rom, but I would like to know if I can go back to stock R2D2 if I ever change my mind, or if I want to get stock gingerbread whenever VZW gets around to do it. I got titanium backup and backed apps and system, downloaded bootstrap recovery and did a backup. Is this what people call a 'nandroid backup?' I also downloaded full Fission Rom Manager after donation but I'm afraid to pull the trigger. What else do I need and am I going to go back? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Yes, bootstrap recovery and tye backup you made with it is a nandroid backup. Backup your contacts to gmail and read over the info in the hacking/rom install class, it will talk about sbf. Sbf is the file needed to return your phone to its out of the box state, unfortunately I don't think they have it for the r2d2, you can use the droid 2 sbf but it will remove all trace of r2d2 and your phone will be a droid 2 in a r2 shell. But there are roms that are r2d2 so you can always run a r2 rom or restore your backup. If you need anything just ask.

Thanks Trook. I think I'm ready to pull the trigger. I saved all the R2 apk's in case I decide I want them. FRM should install 2.6 on it's own, right? Is there anything special on my bootloader that won't let me use 2.3.20 based roms that you know of? I didn't find anything on the forums

Check this page out. You do need to flash 2.3.20. Here are the links and info on how to run any droid2 rom on an r2. Once again make sure you make a nandroid, make sure to back up your contacts to gmail, and make sure you have rsd lite and the sbf file handy.
