Droid X2 Root and Bootstrap Help - Motorola Droid X2

Ok This has been asked a million times I am sure but thats the problem I am running into. So many topics and replies to sift through, its got me all confused on the safe way to go about rooting and making a Nandroid. I believe I have got the rooting part down (per sticky), its the Nandroid which is the confusing part.
I came from a severely outdated D2 Global which was simple to handle with the cd I made, and using the D2 Global Bootstrap app.
Is there anything available which is extremely stable for the 2.3.5 X2 or is my only safe bet to revert back to 2.3.4? (last time I tried that back years ago I bricked my D2)

Eclipse was great when I had my x2 on 235. The op has a good Tutorial on 235.
About nandroid, I wrote this and it works great.
It is a work around cure for the most frustrating result of having a locked bootloader and flashing a rom that needs to be wiped thereby removing your bootstrap.

The op is a hard read I know.

The dx2 is unbrickable!!! Nobody has ever not been able to sbf.
I bricked mine because I flashed the milestone x2 firmware. But I wanted a different phone anyway. Now I hate the iphone.

really only custom rom for 2.3.5 is eclipse, which is the most stable rom for most.
other roms need to be flashed 2.3.4
the X2 can still be flashed back and forth from 2.2 to 2.3.5
lots of links in my list

Both of those threads you guys posted mention 2.3.4 not 2.3.5
That is where I am confused, do I have to go back to 2.3.4 ?

Depends on what you want to do, but those threads have not been updated, since magic md5 root was made.
and I posted 4 links so...

Ok got it rooted, been busy so have not worked on it...simple to do thx.
Now here ia all I plan to do:
I am keeping the stock rom and just freezing apps, not removing any.
On my D2G I used bootstrap to make an exact copy of the rom in case of disaster, do I need to do this for the DX2?
Also I used Voodoo (I believe) to keep from having an OTA screw me up, do I also need that and will either or both of these apps work with the X2?
I also used Android Overclock on my D2G but it said it isnt for the DX2, is there any other app as easy and stable for the DX2?
And last but not least after I copy my rom if needed, what is the best way to change the stupid name of the internal memory (SD) so my other apps only recognize my real SD Card as an SD and my internal as internal...?

if you want to make a nandroid backup
DX2 bootstrap is called BSR/System Recovery app

but having a copy of the .sbf and RSD Lite is more important

voodoo works with DX2, but there will be no more updates, so it's unnecessary
I also used Android Overclock on my D2G but it said it isnt for the DX2, is there any other app as easy and stable for the DX2?

don't think overclocking ever worked with DX2, moto locked the kernel too tight

can't remember what needs to be done to switch cards around, if its just the app, should be able to use titanium backup pro
---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------
one way to force apps to use internal card, would be remove app, remove sd card, reinstall app

Maybe if I knew about it I would have, but seriously what business is it of yours?
Another thing why would you call me out on it in the forum instead of in a p.m?
