Dont be scared.
If you take your time to read all of the material that you need to know to unlock your bootloader it is easier than anything.
Just spend a couple of days reading and by the third day (MAX!) you should know everything you need to know in order to unlock your BL.
Once that is done, then flashing ROMS/Kernels is a easy process; all you have to do is reboot into recovery and then flash the ROM which is in the .zip file.
Once your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash ROMS and Kernels, however the process involves ADB and fastboot in use with the command prompt but all the instructions are quite clear.

I suggest reading the noobie guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600 . It'll basically teach you about everything you need to know with all of the relevant links.
One suggestion, before unlocking the bootloader go to 2.3.4/4.5.91 first.
The reason I suggest this is that is the following. About the one way you have any real likelyhood of hard bricking your phone is to go backwards from 2.3.4 to 1.8.3 after having the bootloader unlocked. So safest is to get comfortable with the 2.3.4 so you are certain there is no need to go back, then unlock.
It really is not that difficult. Read the threads a few times so that you are certain you have the game plan down.
Ok but first do I update using ota or another method since I've modded my webtop?
Sent from my "Emo" rooted Motorola Atrix! Emo Thinks Possible!
If you use the OTA method of upgrading, I believe this rooting method will work on Atrix. You could then have root access back without unlocking your bootloader.

I updated with the official OTA to 2.3 and I've been reading a ton about the hardbrick mess that has surfaced along with the 2.3 update. Basically, I'm wondering what are my options as far as rooting, unlocking, and roms. Or am I SOL for the time being?
rooting, unlocking and roms are available for you. I OTA'd as well..couple days ago I unlocked my Atrix. Only thing you CAN'T do ..now that you've OTA'd.. is you CANNOT downgrade with RSD. That will cause a hardbrick.

Okay, that's as far as my understanding of the matter went haha.
It may seem like a noob question, but what is the need to downgrade?
Hardbricks are from downgrading to a previous firmware.

sometimes things go wrong when modding your phone. downgrading will restore your phone back to a factory state.
Okay, that's what I was thinking. So couldn't we just create a back up of our 2.3 OTA and revert back to that if something went wrong?
from what i understand you can sbf 4.5.91
"You can sbf 4.5.91 because it has the same identical bl bp pass"

That's the correct way of doing things without hardbricking, yes.
Unlock the BL, install CWM and create a backup of you system before modding.
Whatever you do DO NOT SBF back to earlier build.
Wow! This is the best answer I've been looking for for two days! There should be a lot of deleting and simplifying on this forum. People are going to mess up their phones. Just saying.

For AT&T users, we had some good hacks that recommended that you went down to original stock Froyo.
Something like that is not an option anymore...
Makes sense, but I do prefer GB over Froyo in so many ways so its worth it for me, and hopefully new hacks and what not will surface in time. I'm patient lol.
well, some people also like to downgrade cause they like Froyo (huh?! who?!) and some people want back fingerprint (but im a patient one, so I won't ditch my gingerbread for something so silly =P). Like everyone said, if you DO need to SBF, just SBF back to 4.5.91. If you have an unlocked bootloader and flashed Tenfar's CWM, however, just eat your Fruitcakes and you'll be good to go. Those are totally safe (as far as I know =D Mmmmmmmm)
Happy upgrading! =]

I may have to return my ATRIX due to Let'sTalk horrible customer service, but I was wondering if there is anyway to re-lock the Bootloader, or to hide the fact that it says, Unlocked. Thank you in advanced
Also, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, as this is urgent to me and I have yet to see any otherpost relating this topic.
There is another topic like this.
No you can't re-lock and no you can't "hide" the unlock wording. Sorry.
Sent from my AWESOME Atrix
Assume you installed 2.3 using CWM, if that is the case, you can flash the stock 1.8.3. Because the bootloader is not compatible with the unlocked phones, it won't show the "unlocked" text when you turn on the phone. I have tried it when I was trying to get rid if the unlocked text.
The down side is, you won't be able to flash custom ROM until you flash a compatible bootloader.

But downgrading will hard brick the phone.be very very carefully.
Reflash To Stock
Unfortunately, there is no way to relock a bootloader. Hence all of the warnings when you committed
but, if you use 4.5.91 the software at the address below should reinstall the newest stock software...
direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/motosupport/source/SoftwareUpdateSelect.asp?country=USA&language=ENS
be careful because Im not sure how motorola update will react to an unlocked bootloader. Ask around...do so at your own risk.
If you want to try a harder, albeit, safer method, and you are sure that you do not have a phone running 4.1.5.91, you can restore your phone to a factory SBF with this process:
briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-system-boot-file-sbf-leaked
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TRY TO RESTORE A 4.5.91 system to stock with RSD LITE.

I wonder why nobody has created a CWM downgrade for US Atrixes. NFHimself made one for Bell or international users to go to 2.2.2 Bell and it works really well. Pretty much every partition is replaced. Great for masking that your boot loader is unlocked. Someone should probably do that for ATT to make downgrading less risky than flashing an sbf again...

The downgrading and hard brick problem stems from using the OTA update, so you won't hard brick if for example you upgraded with KP's 4.5.91.
You also should be able to flash the 4.5.91 SBF. You just can't downgrade. There are other threads about this.

The reason the fruitcakes were created and deemed safe by the devs were because it didn't touch the BL, which people believe to be the culprit behind the hard bricks. NFhimself was brave enough to testing flashing the BL via cwm in his gobstopper on international phones, but I don't think any other devs are willing to risk hard bricking their phones by testing that theory on US phones.
There also isn't enough "reward" for doing so because if people want to downgrade they can use a fruitcake. The only gain is to get rid of the "unlock" text. But if you were really that concerned about it despite reading all the warnings of this will void you warranty, you shouldn't have unlocked in the first place.

Hi,
One of the reasons I did up a default CWM of 2.2.2 is to have a means of doing a reset after trying all ATT/ORANGE/TELSTRA/MOVIESTAR/etc firmwares out there which may have side effects or accumulated side effects. Hence the inclusion of the stock bootloader and radio and a write of the extra partitions to clean up whatever mix and match leftovers are in there from the various carriers. The other big one is just to be able to get a Bell OTA applied when it comes out, it will probably be similar to the leak, but best to be safe.
This is more of a Bell/Intl issue as ATT folks tend to run just ATT firmware or flash just boot and system via CWM/fastboot and don't have the same issues as flashing a sbf file.
Both the stock 2.2.2 and leaked ap20 OTA bootloaders from Bell are safe to flash after IHOP, this is not the case with ATT bootloaders and may be the case for any included in a sbf file. Finding out the hard way is not an option.
Cheers!

I'd say this (and I say it with the most benevolent intentions):
1) You don't know that 1.83 is in fact 2.2 (froyo). 1.83 just refers to AT&T's software release, not the current android version on your phone. This leads to...
2) Flashing that will get you 90% of the way there, but I fear it won't get you that last 10%, which is the dealbreaker- ROOT. This is because I'm afraid you don't quite grasp ADB...but no matter, I'm here to help.
3) What I would do is flash the 2.3.4 SBF with the BL UL (bootloader unlock)...(all of this found in the thread you linked), but then I'd go here. It's a really simple automated process that works through the command prompt/ADB and, with it, it's very quick and easy to attain root without all the manual ADB commands. On top of that, it's very useful for many other things besides just obtaining root.
Also, you might want to just look at this thread to see if there's anything useful, helpful, or downright lifesaving. And you can thank responder #1 for that.
I hope you didn't take this in the wrong way (frankly, me being a ****). I just want you to know the proper terminology, and not FUBAR your phone.
Always better to ask (though maybe search, first) than to go ahead and brick your device and then be a screaming all about the forums begging for help.

rooting has nothing to do with it, rooting just gives your phone root access to system files.
unlocking the bootloader opens up our ability to flash custom ROMs onto our phones, as well as allowing us to put a custom recovery on our phone.
if you're satisfied with stock gingerbread, don't worry about it and just go on using your rooted phone.
if you wish to try out some awesome ROMs like CM7, then go ahead and unlock your bootloader. you're going to have to re-root afterwards, but that's super easy to do on our phone, and most ROMs come pre-rooted anyways.
"""if you wish to try out some awesome ROMs like CM7, then go ahead and unlock your bootloader. you're going to have to re-root afterwards, but that's super easy to do on our phone, and most ROMs come pre-rooted anyways."""

i'd suggest for you to go ahead and unlock your bootloader, and install Romracer's CWM which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500

i'd still personally suggest CM7, fingerprint scanner is working on internal builds from what i understand so it shouldn't be too long of a wait for it to be updated

once SIM unlocked, you're always SIM unlocked.
anyways, use the script i gave you in the first post to unlock your bootloader, just download it and open it up and follow the instructions.
after you're done unlocking, go to RomRacer's CWM that i linked you, and install it with fastboot.
after that, you can download any ROM you want in a flashable .zip file, and flash it with CWM.
You mean, I have to install RomRacer's CWM to install CM7?
And how can I update CM7 when they fix something like fingerprint sensor?

Does this mean that I can still safely unlock the bootloader using pudding's guide and the instructions for unlocking the bootloader on 2.3.4 / 4.5.91 ?
It seems that I am not the only one asking this question.
Someone please clarify that once and for all!
A million THANKS in advance!
