    Need to unroot, no nandroid backup, installed rom.

    I rooted using doroot and followed the instructions below. I have installed roms/themes. I did not do the nandroid backup prior to installing the theme because even though I thought I thoroughly researched before I rooted I missed this crucial step. Is it possible to unroot now and if so how?

    A. ROOT FIRST : Without rooting your Droid X, you will not be able to access the restricted files that are normally locked on your stock DX and will not be able to make any modifications to your DX)
    B. CONFIRM THAT ROOT HAS WORKED: you can check this by making sure that an app called “Superuser Permissions” has installed in your app drawer.
    C. DEODEX YOUR FROYO: don’t worry about what this really means…just know that it’s necessary for the custom ROMs to function with respect to changing fonts, widgets, frame appearance, etc. If you want a real explanation, google it…as I’ve said before there are hundred and thousands of forums dedicated to explaining what this actually does. Without deodexing your Droid X (or any other android-based platform) you will most likely not be able to install any of the current custom ROMs and themes that are available for download.
    D. Download and install ONLY DEODEXED ROMs (or Themes) using BOOTSTRAP APP. If you try to install a ROM that is not deodex compatible you will brick your phone. I have directions to unbrick your phone at the end of this manual.

    Why do you need to unroot?

    To accept the update? Root is not going to be a problem, but if you have rommed and themed it without a stock backup, you will probably need to sbf back to stock to update.

    I feel like a broken record lately.

    Thank you for your help. I read and read before asking but couldn't find an exact answer so figured better to ask before I screwed it up.
