You must do it after updating. Flashing pudding on 4.5.91 will cause a soft brick which you immediately fix by entering the fastboot oem unlock command. Don't be fearful of the soft brick, it happens to everyone flashing pudding to 4.5.91.

It's not vague. You download pudding and flash with RSD.
There's even a link to a step by step list
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
Just make sure you do ALL the steps. Don't skip to step 13. You have to flash pudding.

Were you unlocked before trying to flash Ninja rom?
unlocked... no at least I dont think? Obviously I was rooted but unlocked i dunno...
That is why, your bootloader has to be unlocked.

Ah ok... gingerblur was a pseudo-rom... made before we were able to install custom roms because we couldn't unlock our bootloader. That changed last month when devs figured it out and thus the newer custom roms. To install them you need to unlocked your bootloader.
Please read this thread for information on how to unlock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
Now, since you're already softbricks, running that may not work right now. BUT it's start.
My suggestion- read the thread, follow the instructions and see if that gets you to boot up properly after running the oem unlock.
If not, then download a fresh stock 1.8.3 SBF form the development thread and RSD flash that.
Ok thank you for your help, will post a question if I come to one. How would I download the stock 1.8.3 SBF if I am stuck on the boot screen? Im feeling like Im in over my head, Paypal donation to anyone who can walk me through this....

Stock SBFs are in the development forum as well.
I guess first things first, do you have the tools needed
Do you have or know how to use RSD?
How about Fastboot?
Just downloaded RSD lite and flashed the SBF..
"Open and extract the Fastboot package from above" is the step I am on.. Not sure where to go from here.
The phone rebooted to the same screen that it was at before with the error message but says PASS in RSDLite for the sbf flash

Which SBF? The pudding/unlock?
If you flashed the pudding SBF, then you need to do the fastboot steps next.
Did you download and unzip the fastboot package to your computer?
I did, I just dont know what to do with fastboot. Do I run it or what?.. THANKS A TON BY THE WAY...
Ok, I still have the failed to boot 2, but I am now getting the Starting Fastboot protocol support. I dont understand this step..
Type the following command:
fastboot oem unlock

let's say you saved and extracted the fastboot files to c:\fastboot
then you have to open up CMD (start - run - cmd )
then cd to the directory it's saved (in this example c:\fastboot )
Now you have to get your phone into fastboot mode (directions are in the link), but in short, as you turn on your phone, hold the down button. THen it should say fastboot, then hit volume up, should say entering fastboot
Then back on computer in the command window
while your in the fastboot directory
type the oem unlock command (specific command in the instruction).
after it's all done, type fastboot reboot.
I have to go now for a while, but if all that doesn't work. I suggest flashing via RSD the 1.83 SBF with Pudding built in.
The download is in the pudding thread near the top "1. All phones If you have unlocked then try to use 2.3.4 update zip from Motorola servers, then revert back to a "pre-unlock" version(1.8.3 or earlier on ATT) you will get bricked! Do not use the OTA via experimental servers and revert to older versions WITHOUT pudding preinstalled in your sbf.
ATT ONLY Get your 1.8.3 with pudding from gitbrew or multiupload."
I cant figure out where to type the command in (fastboot oem unlock) i have the screen that came up when i located the fastboot. It has a list of commands, but nothing about oem unlock...

Is your phone in fastboot mode and connected?
All you gotta do is just type the command in the command window
C:\fastboo\ fastboot oem unlock
I flashed the SBF from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182526
yesterday and I was wondering if it automatically unlocks the device for me. How do I tell if I'm unlocked and/or what are the procedures to unlock my phone after flashing this SBF? Thanks.
reboot your phone and in the top left it should say 'unlocked' if you've unlocked it.
Just with flashing that sbf you are not 100% unlock you still need to run fastboot OEM unlock command and enter your unique ID

Thanks, so does this mean that I don't have to do the SBF step? Just go into fastboot and do the unlock part only right?

Correct, that's the main utility of flashing that particular sbf
Thanks, just unlocked my Trix. I like to make sure everythings in order before I do stuff to avoid unneeded bricks.
Im back with another problem im now unlocking the bootloader and i followed the instructions from [PUDDING] International House of Pudding! BL Unlock/root thread so when i go into cmd and type "fastboot oem unlock" i get this message:
<bootloader> OEM unlock is not implemented
OKAY [0.000s]
finished. total time: 0.016s
any ideas?
It seems Pudding didn't take. If my memory serves me correct, the message you received is for when the bootloader is still "encrypted". Can you give a brief "step-by-step" of what you did and what you saw on your phone while using Pudding?

Unfortunately, that article was written before the "Official" release of gingerbread. At that time, they only had a "leaked" build that actually already had the un-encrypted bootloader. Since you have the "Official" build you will need to do all the steps.

I did a Google search and found a bunch of results of people saying that you will not lose the sim unlock by flashing custom ROMs and doing OTA updates. SO, I'm guessing you should be safe but, as always, use caution.

*wipes brow* the operation was a success lol it jus said unlocked when it rebooted..i was kinda worried when i got the
SVF:105.1:2
Failed to boot 0X1000 error but it had a whole bunch of numbered options with it so i jus continued the fastboot process and wha-la i have a unlocked bootloader lol
Hi all,
So I spent like the whole afternoon tryin to unlock bootloader on my MB860 (rooted) with no luck. This is international version with 2.3.4 system updated OTA.
I tried to unlock bootloader with fastboot - no luck:
Code:
OEM Unlock is not implemented
So i tried flash unlocked sbf file (intl-fix-try1.sbf), still no luck:
Code:
Failed to boot 1
So, I've flashed whole sbf file: 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.20-release-keys-signed-NonEFIGSRetail-EU.sbf
Phone started and all was same as before this operation,
next - I tried another full sbf's:
1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31-release-keys-signed-Retail-GB.sbf
1FF-olympus_latam-user-2.3.6-4.5.2A-51_OLL-17.8-111109-release-keys-signed-BellMobility-CA-GAS_NA_OLYMPUSGBCANADABELL_P019.sbf
On both - failed to boot 1
so in the end only sbf that actually allows me to boot my cell is 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.20-release-keys-signed-NonEFIGSRetail-EU.sbf
And the question is - how to get unlocked bootloader for this one?
You really should have searched and read up ahead of time. "Failed to boot XXX" is a perfectly normal and expected thing to happen when unlocking the BL. You shouldn't have messed with any more SBFs. You can still try running the fixer script as mentioned in that thread, hopefully you didn't mess it up too bad.
Thank you ravilov, but isn't this script only for ATT devices?
I am fairly certain it can be used on an international device as well.
Thanks, will try later on today, so what I'm lookin for is this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
and option no.3 is what i should use from this script to have it fixed?
just for the records - the phone is working after i installed only sbf working, all setings and data were not affected, only will need to root it again

Yeah, that's to be expected.
I think the worst case scenario would be that you won't be able to unlock, in which case you might be one of the unlucky people with the non-unlockable bootloader. If not, this script should help in unlocking your BL.
so, with the script and option number 3 i got the same thing:
Code:
(bootloader) OEM unlock is not implemented
OKAY [ -0.000s]
finished. total time: -0.000s
Or should i first flash small sbf and then use the script?
any other suggestions or am I stuck with soft 2.3.4?
You did flash the pudding/ihop SBF, right? If not, try doing that before you attempt to run oem unlock. If you did already... Well, I'm out of ideas then. I guess while waiting for someone else to chime in, you might as well start mentally preparing that you might indeed stay stuck with the stock firmware.
Well, made it unlocked, it was little bit tricky, so what I did:
-flashed IHOP
-got failed to boot 1 error message again - here, where i was not aware of - I pressed vol up and it switched to fastboot protocol support with boot error present
-did the script, fail to boot error was still there after reboot
-did those 2 points with flashboot application (whole instruction available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423):
Code:
13.back in your command prompt window type "fastboot oem unlock" no quotes
14.You will now receive a warning along with a unique device ID
15.Type the following commands using your unique device ID (the numbers in the command prompt) in place of the ####•
fastboot oem unlock ####
fastboot reboot
Now its time to install CWM somehow...
I need to do a warranty exchange and my bootloader is unlocked, how can i relock it?
How can i relock it without using a USB?
Cannot relock without USB. You would need to run
fastboot oem lock

Necro to say: YES, you can run "fastboot oem lock" to RELOCK the bootloader. "fastboot getvar unlocked" returns "unlocked: no".
Just tried it on my (two hour old) phone here.
