[Q] Rom questions - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so ive had my atrix since around may when my iphone broke and i fell in love <3
I overlooked any problems (Which it only had about 1 or two) and i took it into my home
So now that i've done the basic of hacks on my atrix i want to try custom roms DD
But im scared ****less to do it :O
because of a couple of reasons
1. the infamous wifi bluetooth reboot issue on gingerbread when you root
2. bricking
3. not being able to return to stock
4. wanting to change roms and cant
5. malware viruses etc. (Least of my troubles)
6. hardware issues
7. Not having a backup of my data because i have to program to do that :/
8. Not knowing any roms ._.
9. any other problems
10. Setting my phone on fire (Overclock roms)
11. Scary modding words (CWM Bootunlock CM7 MIUI Etc) Lol
Im not asking any one to answer all my questions for i am an idiot so i have alot of them with most likely complicated answer
But maybe if anyone who looks at this can help me out with 1 question or 2 i can find my answer to all and have cool ass roms like the pros do
So if anyone could answer my questions and perhaps give me tips and THEIR favorite backup programs and roms please do
-Thanks in advance

Flash this ClockWorkMod recovery to your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
That should take care of your issue of not having a recovery , and will give you a way to return back to your current stock rom if you screw things up.
Also download LBE privacy guard from the market, at least then if you get malware you will see it trying to do shady **** like send out SMS or make phone calls.
ROM toolbox from the market will let you flash ROMS, once you have CWM installed of course and unlock the bootloader. Make a backup first!.

1. Haven't had that issue at all since I've rooted/unlocked bootloader.
2. Possible, but only if you don't pay attention and follow instructions or bad luck.
3. You can return to stock via a ROM but it will never be stock as in how you received the phone, once you unlock your bootloader, it stays unlocked.
4. You can change ROMs as much as you want.
5. Malware/viruses, download lookout mobile (free version) and you're all set.
6. Hardware, take care of your phone and you'll be fine.
7. Titanium Backup from the android market to back up apps/system data, CWM which is used for installing roms can do FULL backups of EVERYTHING.
8. Check out the Atrix 4G Development Section.
9. Banana's
10. Highest OC atm is 1.3GHz and it's very stable
11. Not as scary as you think.
For the majority of info that you need, just read up on this thread.

I'm still learning. Stay simple, with the flashing, then when you feel brave, push files. Trying to get PNG pic loaded.

Well just try taking care of your phone. Get a good tpu case and screen protector and you're good to go.

Well since you were very helpful and also the only person i know thats still up (Hehehe)
Do you think i should unlock my bootloader?? You know since your a very educated individual when it comes to this

Do you want to flash roms and kernels then yes. If you like the stock rom and battery is giving you good life stay. Unlocking it is easy if you follow the.pudding. just read over it then start doing it, as you do each step, read ahead, do next. Wash, rinse repeat. If you run into problem come back here before you make your next move.
