Hey, i cant figure out how to flash my phone, or even just remove the rom and unroot it so i can update my phone to the current version and install a better "cooler" rom. my current version is 2.2.20.A955. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Even if you have a stock back up that doesn't mean you won't have issues. I had to sbf even with a stock back up.

Yeah i tried and it did nothing =/

Did you did you do Bootstrap Recovery wait for it to say success then do Reboot Recovery and that should reboot.

Ya lol that is the source of your problem the d2 has a lockedboot loader that prevents us from flashing unsigned zips with stock bootloader, so someone invented clockworkrecovery which is a custom recovery that allows us to flash zips, without that everything your doing is useless

So this is the fix.... dowwload ROM manager from market use that to get clockwork, use koushs BS and then flash your new awesomesauce ROM or go back to stock nandroid to update, if u dont have a stock nandroid you get to go on the great adventure of sbfing

ok so you would know if you had a nandroid of stock because you would have had to do that, normally you do this as soon as you root, think of it as a failsafe. if you diddnt do that then sbfing it is let me know about the back up and ill link you to the sbf, honestly idk if i did it right, BUT i got my hands on a system only of 2.3.2 and used CW to flash it, it worked fine whether or not that will work for an update i have no clue, anybody else is welcome to chime in and call out my mistake if what i did was indeed a mistake,
