stuck at bootloader

ok so basically I tried to sbf with the tbh app from the tbh toolbox and when i did it said installation aborted. Then I tried to install my nandroid backup. when I did it said it loaded but then when I went to reboot recovery it got stuck at the bootloader screen.

So from here can i sbf back to stock?
I was looking here xda-developers - View Single Post - Motorola Droid 2 Bootloader and 2.2 Stock SBF's and wanted to know if installing these would work?

U have to wipe data/cache. U should have done that before u rebooted.

ok so i wiped data before i tried the sbf but then it said installation aborted.. i didnt wipe before the nandroid backup... so what do i do from here. I tried to hold x at the start up but it wont go anywhere. it just goes straight to the black bootloader screen.
 
You install RSD Lite on your computer, and use that to flash the SBF on your D2. So the SBF file is on your computer, you connect the D2 in boot loader mode, then run RSD lite, it finds your D2, you load the SBF file in RSD lite and flash it to your D2.
 
OK. So, use rsd lite 4.9 (look online for it). Install that on the computer. Make sure you have the latest drivers from the motorola site. Use the full sbf file! Extract it to the desktop. Put the phone in bootloader. Open rsd lite 4.9, the phone should say ok to program. Plug it in. It will or should show up in rsd lite as s flash or something (as long as it says connected). Now go to the box that looks like (...) click it and find the extracted sbf file. It will show up on the right side of rsd lite. Now hit start! Let it ride. When its done it should reboot and you'll be good. If not, it will ask you to manually reboot. OK, do it. If it bootloops, boot into stock recovery by holding power and x. Wipe data and reboot. That will take care of the bootloop

Yes 4.9 is the most recent release of rsd lite and certain bugs and issues were fixed from prior releases

I was able to get it back to stock when i did the sbf this morning. I just re-downloaded the file and it worked. I bootloped but just did that wipe data from the android guy. Just one question.
