Did you root too? Cause rooting is must for using ROMS.

Yes I did. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted.
I personally don't know what ROMS have that support. You can experiment or ask around. The best performance ROM right know is Alien.

Ok I finally figured out the right rom and I managed to get the arabic fonts to work properly. I am using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239129 and was wondering if there is a way to change the theme that is being used. I tried installing aHome but that kept crashing. Any suggestions? Any Good Themes?
im using the honeyglow theme. I like it a lot. Will have to install RomRacer's CWM Recovery to flash it.

Hold off for a few minutes before you SBF and risk losing your unlock. Other phones I have had, doing a similar process as sbf, has killed unlocks.

Yes, you need to be root...so then just use the brief mobile root method.
Once rooted I suggest installing clockworkmod
Cwm has a version for unlocked and locked boot loader

According to the prerequisites on the link you do... I didn't know the second link didn't work on 2.3.4, I though it should as long as the bootloader wasnt changed.

+1 for this method. If you already have 2.3.4 installed, root by using the procedure in post #2 of that thread.
I rooted my atrix running on 2.3.4. I would like to try new roms.
what next after root. I havent installed a CWM either. What next after root??

I'm no expert but I'd guess you can download a rom and flash away..cmod is available in market...

Apparently more research.
I did. I heard so much people having bricks.
I just got a new photon and i was wandering if there was a method to unlock the bootlaoder. The sales rep updated the software so i have version 45.2.7 is there a way to unlock it and root it. Any ideas will help
You have a lot of reading to do. Go to the development section.
I know theres alot on the section part i just need to know which method works for this version.

I think you can run the bootloader from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216143
Flash it in RSDlite. It will fail, but don't panic. Pull the battery, and run the moto-fastboot command lines to verify that you've been unlocked. You can then root either via the photon-torpedo method, or AIO root method.
Good luck, and remember to charge your phone all the way!
Best,
K

No, there is not yet a fully functional unlocker. There's one that mostly works but it breaks 4G.
You can root it just fine, though, without unlocking it.

Yeah, you can root without unlocking. There are a few ways..I personally like the one click and photon torpedo methods.

Yeah if you want custom roms, you'll need to unlock the bootloader. It's a really easy process
1) Get RSDlite
2) Get the unlocked bootloader SBF file and flash it
3) Run the cmd lines to check to see if you're unlocked
4) Root and install CWM
5) Flash away!
