[Q] going to another Rom from alien build

[roughriduz]

what is the best way to go from alien build #4 to go to the atrix 4.5.91 home base build?

Flash a CWM zip

and maybe do a nandroid backup so you can revert back later if you want (or if something screws up).

should I sbf back to stock 2.3.4 or just flash cwm.zip over the alien build I have?

Just use CWM. Backup, then do a data and cache wipe between roms. Apparently fastboot has a command for wiping that is more thorough, but I've never had problems just using CWM's wipe functions (I've tried every ROM available). All will be well if you just backup in between. Stay away from RSD and use fruitcakes instead if you want stock.
Good luck,

From here on out I would only use the CWM zips (fruitcakes) to revert that way you avoid the dreaded downgrade hard brick.

If u want to flash a new rom, don't forget to always thoroughly wipe old data. Use fastboot to wipe system, userdata, cache,webtop,preinstall, and boot. Then yer guaranteed not to run into any info being kept and messing with your new rom.
