[Q] Droid x2 root problems - Motorola Droid X2

Hello all-
I recently bought doid x2 from my friend to replace my previous phone which i dropped, the screen broke so its busted.
It wasn't until I went to the verizon store, and activated my phone that I was told that it was rooted. It is fully functional (it is active, receives texts, calls, has wifi, apps, everything works) but I cannot update the software OTA and do not have access to my data network. So the only time I can really access the internet or do anything productive is if I have a wifi connection. And overall, the phone just functions pretty slow. I have had a blinking grey triangle in the top right corner of the screen, which I assume means that my data is roaming and thus have no access to it.
So basically I tried taking it to a repair store and they suggested that instead of paying 150+ dollars to have my old phone's screen repaired, that I post on here for help to see if I can restore this phone to its original software. I have tried doing the factory reset and in the store, they went through the restore process but it didn't change anything with my lack of access to data. I want to know if there is anything I can do to fix this issue (preferably on a macbook) or if I should just pay the money to have my old phone's screen fixed.
So does anyone know how to fix this? or if you need more information about my problem let me know and I can try to give more details

There is a guide on how to "SBF" your phone back to factory condition. I recommend doing this.
It will also remove root.

YEAH... but all of the links that I find for these SBF guides are outdated since the phone is old. i need files and directions that are still existent and relevant that I can download, since the phone model and system is old

The 2.3.4 file still works. Downloading as I type this. Any Motorola RSD will work.

I followed the instructions exactly on the HowTO perform a SBF forum page. In RSDLite, it says the process is complete and then before my phone can reboot or go to the next step it says FAIL in the result column of RSDLite. Then before I can do anything in RSDLite it is Not Responding and I am basically forced to close out of it. I used the RSDLite 5.4.4 so then i tried using another RSDLite but couldn't even download it.
Could it be that I am using windows 7 ?
or is there something else I am doing that might be screwing up with the process

I SBF on Win7 a few times. It could be a bad download, try downloading again. Be sure you are using a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0

rsd lite works fine with windows 7
several things can go wrong
did you install moto drivers with Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.9.0
if not download and install Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.9.0
are you using the original moto usb data cable?
if it is a desktop pc use rear usb ports rather than front
try a different version of rsd lite, several options in my list RSD Lite mirrors
verify md5 check sum for sbf see Verify that your download is complete with MD5/SHA-1 Hash Checksums
.
.
or forget all of the above and use all-in-one ezSBF DX2 2.3.4
instructions here all-in-one ezSBF DX2 2.3.4
download here Dev-Host mirror

So I tried using moto drivers like you said and basically the same thing happens. It said that my driver was updated but the same error occurs. It says that the flashing process failed even after it gets through execution 100% ... I haven't tried a different version of RSDLite or the method that you posted at the bottom, I am kind of busy right now but will try it later.
Any other suggestions on what might be wrong?

run again, when you see it failed, leave phone connected, rsd lite running, open windows device manager, and look for an unknown device or a small yellow triangle, if you see either, rerun moto device drivers program, then click on bad device and select update drivers
if you don't see a bad device, it could be a bad download, verify md5 checksum for sbf

There seemed to be no bad device, so I was goign to try the other way that you posted, the all in one ezSPF process but the file that is on there 1KDStaz0.x.iso I am unable to download. Also the sbf I have is definitely not right according to the md5 so do you have an spf that I can run through RSDLite that will work ?

Reboot PC
Hit F12 (sometimes F8 or esc) during boot to go to boot menu (possibly google search how to boot your specific pc from CDROM)
Select boot from CDROM
Hit enter at the yellow "boot baby... boot" screen
You will see yellow dots for 3-5 minutes then the script will start

Except since you did USB, you will select USB where those instructions say CDROM
