[Q] Would i have to do the rooting process again? - Motorola Droid X2

Hi, I just recently got a Droid X2 with version 2.3.5 already installed. I really like CM10 (4.1,2 JB) and want to install it but 2.3.4 is required and I rooted 2.3.5.
I need to know would i have to un-root the x2 before I downgrade 2.3.4 then re-root the phone or would I be able to jump from 2.3.5 (still rooted) to 4.1.2.
I'm no stranger to rooting a android but X2 is different from what i'm use to I don't want to take a risk by bricking the phone.

No need to unroot, but will need to root 2.3.4, try pete's root tools
Link to sbf, ezSBF, pete's root and more in my list

DX2 has a locked bootloader, not going to brick it.

Ok, well i heard that RSD isn't good with phones swapped to straighttalk which mines is (has something to do with radio frequency). I'm using ezSBF but in the video tut i saw showed a droid X which in the tutorial, the guy held down the camera button. I don't have that. what should i do

Boot DX2 to RSD support (bootloader) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707
a. Turn off your phone.
b. Power up your phone by pressing and holding the VOLUME UP BUTTON and then pressing the POWER BUTTON until you see the words STARTING RSD PROTOCOL SUPPORT (in white) at the top of the DX2’s screen. This should only take about 3-5 seconds.
