I did read the instructions for upgrading stock to cm7.
It said that I need froyo bootloader
I can't find it, so maybe someone can link me to it.

I believe, that they are referring to something along the lines of Clockwork mod, cuz I just flashed coming from Trigger Final to CM7 last night, using CWM and it went flawlessly =)
I think I know what you're referring to. Flash back to stock (jfd) and them use lies mini to upgrade to kb5. This gets you gve bootloader tbeurw talking about. Then flash back to jfd and flash whatever rom you want.

Is it as easy as flashing the backup in cwm or do I have to flash the stock radio in recovery 1st?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Depends on which froyo backup you have. If it's one of the newer froyo builds then it's compatible with the newest radios. If it's an older froyo build then you have to go back to the old radios.
It's stock rooted. 2.2.1

Your question was answered.. but I think you didn't quite follow. Like one of the posters said.. if your Froyo Backup is that of a NEWER Froyo backup (MR2 Froyo software no. 1.66.xx).. then yes.. you can restore GB & Froyo Backups back and forth without any issue since they both work on the same radio.
If your Froyo is older.. then you'd have to flash the appropriate radios every time you restore.
That's why I posted which backups I have... I'm not too sure about them... The one is the latest official software. Is that what you mean by newer froyo software?

Your not going to hurt anything. If you want to restore your Froyo backup go ahead. If it boots up and dosent have service then its an older build and you will need to flash a older radio. This one should work.

If that radio dosent work or you would like to see the thread it came from it is:

Edit: From your post eariler, you flash radios in HBOOT, rename the radio file to PG05IMG.zip and place in the root of your sd card. Boot into HBOOT (phone off, hold volume down and power) phone will flash the radio. The ROMS are flashed in recovery.
Edit2: After you are done flashing the radio file, after the phone reboots, delete or rename the radio file so it dosent try to reflash the next time you go into HBOOT. ok im done editing now.

Ah sorry I didn't get back to the thread sooner. It makes sense that if it was an older froyo build you'd need the old radios. There were only a small handful of ROM's for the new radios and they came out pretty recently.

GingerBlur has nothing wrong with it, but you would imo be better to unlock your bootloader and head on over to GB like most of us and get some of the goodness from the work the devs are doing for it.

Me and my brother both have atrix's. I want to go back to stock because I heard its the best for my webtop, he has the original stock file. If i am on wetdream, and I go back to stock, is there a chance of bricking it?
Thanks.
You are best to use the fruitcake of the stock version you want and flash from recovery like you did with your current rom..there is a thread of all stock rooms here in dev forum. I'll find and link in a min. These are as safe as it gets.

Yeah, grab the webtop from here > Fruitcake thread.
Thanks, I have it, but its way too buggy =\
If I flash it with my brothers stock, could I OTA update? He said he has before.
If its stock froyo based "stock file" assuming you mean an SBF, then you run the risk of hard bricking. If its a fruitcake. "Stock file" then you are fine. Never flash froyo SBFs anymore. They can be dangerous.

So I've read the instructions 10 times over for how to get from my current state to installing CM7.
Two questions:
Do I have to install a 2.3.4 SBF then unlock/root then install the rom? Or can I unlock my 1.8.3 and proceed to install CM7?
Second, in the IHOP thread, it seems I should be flashing the 2.3.4 SBF with pudding/root already included. But those links are down. Where can I download the needed SBF to flash?
Thanks!
Just flash the unlock SBF. you dont need to update.

Does it matter if I'm currently on greyblur and my phone thinks it's on the one before 1.8.3?

Danger, Will Robinson!! Lol.
EDIT:
* "Sarcasm" was fully intended here.
The CM update guide doesn't say to change your bootloader, all you do is put the disable lagfix file, flash overstock and then flash CM7.
What's the perk and what is supposed to happen if you don't have a GB bootloader and run a GB rom?

Yeah. Aside from a more convenient 2-button recovery access (and flashing one of adyscorpius' custom bl's), it doesn't seem to be the major issue (rainbows mainly) that it once was.
Although I did run into issues not being able to get into recovery running Froyo BL's on an older ICZen rom. That issue had since been addressed by mr_psycho (in the kernel), so life goes on.
