please let me know if you find any info on this, i have to take mine back before the 30 day's because of the stupid duel led flash issue (second freaking time). this time it was fine for a bit so i decided to unlock. Now i need to take it back and hopefully hide the unlock part.

I posted in another thread, but I'll put it here for others, too.
Flashing the 4.5.91 SBF will remove the "unlocked" text. It doesn't re-lock the BL.
I know this because I did it.
Which sbf are you using and where did you get it?

If i am rooted and have unlocked bootloader on 1.83 should i use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182526 to flash for Gb? And if i can will this version enable me to downgrade usind RSD lite in the future?
you can use rsd all you want as long as you dont update with the official OTA update if you do you will be screwed and prob hard brick your phone, im pretty sure i am correct on this.

hahahaahahahahah made me laugh but was a little harsh and not helpful if u use this you CAN NOT downgrade through sbf use a custom rom or a rom that says it will allow you because if you use that you will mess up your phone also its not adviced to rsd back in forth since that really isnt made to be used for public try to use it as little as possible

DO not downgrade you are already on an official 2.3.4 which will cause u to hard brick find the pudding or fruitcake thread in the dev section for instructions on how to fix it without ruining your devices

Although this is my first post, I have been reading hundreds of threads on this site for months now...
I know this post should be in the developer-related forums but being a newbie I am not allowed to post in that section.
My question is can that SBF be flashed over GingerBlur...here is what I am running with a LOCKED bootloader.
Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US
Android 2.2.2
Baseband N_01.77.15P
Kernel 2.63.9-00007-g527fe10
Build GingerBlur 4
Please respond ASAP I just OTA Gingerbread onto my girlfriend's Atrix because she doesn't want to fool around with all this and am DYING to get my hands on a rooted, unlocked Gingerbread Atrix!
At least if you want an unlock bootloader the only option so far for an AT&T unit is flashing pudding no matter what version you have (1.83 or 2.3.4/4.5.91)

Seems like this question is asked a lot and I want to know the "straight" answer too. Would downgrading to deodexed 1.8.3 via recovery from Gingerblur be enough in order to flash SBF gingerbread and unlock? Or should I SBF back to an old AT&T version and update to 1.8.3 before going to Gingerbread? Thanks.

Exactly!! And can it be done over GingerBlur or CherryBlur as I have seen asked on here for the past day or so consistently with no concrete answers.

If you're on 1.8.3 (I don't care what P-ROM you have installed), you can simply flash the above SBF to obtain GB w/o the consequence of not being able to revert to 1.8.3

Love it. It's clean, quick, and reliable.
So, using that link will it unlock the bootloader too? P-ROM would be gingerblur correct? I am sorry, I am kind of new to the Atrix scene. Gingerblur was really simple, but the rest is kind of out of my league at the moment.

That's right, it will unlock your bootloader if you were on 1.8.3.
Make sure you have a full battery before flashing!
Charged that baby all night, today was the day I got Gingerbread. I just wanted to make sure everything is in order before flashing.
Just finished installing it, holy crap. Every app is saved. It seems I'm still rooting too. How do I tell if I'm unlocked?
edit: Ah, nevermind I'm not rooted. Guess thats something I'm going to have to do now.
what would be the correct process for this procedure? I'd prefer to do motorola's official release, but I really just don't know what the method I should follow is.

Which should I flash, the Dev section is a swamp of wtf to me right now, and should I flash it with RSD Lite?
the Dev section is a swamp of wtf to me right now
lol... well said... lol
I did this last night myself.
HOW TO FLASH A SBF:
The Motorola Atrix 4G SBF Thread. This is your fall back, you flash this if you screwed yourself, wanna go back to stock, or you just wanna try it out. Make sure you pick the right sbf file too, don’t go flashing a Latin America sbf on a US AT&T Atrix. Currently there are 3 U.S. Motorola sbf files you should be concerned about: 1.2.6, 1.5.7 and 1.8.3 (w/ 2.3.3 coming soon!)
Motorola Atrix Firmware Super Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1125944
Here are instructions for flashing a sbf file to your device. These particular instructions were for 1.2.6 sbf, but also apply to all other .sbf files. Ready carefully & make sure you have all the prerequisite files, programs, drivers, etc:

Were you on gingerblur? And which one did you flash? I want unlocked Gingerbread
Since there was a lack of help, I put on my big boy pants and tried it, and it worked perfectly.
Was on Gingerblur 4.5, i unlocked with kennethpenn's method
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
and then flashed this sbf using rsd lite:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182526
I was in a similar situation.... I flashed straight from locked bootloader stock 1.83 to gingerbread + pudding sbf. I have not unlocked bootloader from there because I have no reason too.
So for anyone with a similar question, you DO NOT need to unlock your bootloader before flashing the gingerbread + pudding SBF! Just flash that and you get gingerbread, plus the ability to unlock in the future.
H,
I want to use my MacBook Pro to update my atria to gingerbread. My phone is already rooted with 1.8.3. What version of gingerbread do i need and how do I do it? I do not want to hard brick my phone.
Thanks

I suggest you take your pick of modified ROMs our devs have developed
Ninja
CherryBlur
RedPill
Kenn's Rom with Extras
Couple other news ones have popped up recently, but i'd give them some time.
If you want stock, I suggest flashing the 4.5.91 SBF WITH pudding and root already built in.
I'm trying to use sbf_flash to flash to gingerbread, but it is failing with checksum errors. any suggestions?

Not familiar with sbf_flash, but which SBF gingerbread are you trying to flash?
I am trying to flash pudding. Does the phone need to be unlocked first? How can I tell if it is unlocked?

Pudding will unlock your phone if you read through the 1st post and follow instructions.
Ok, it took a while, but i get it now.
Thanks
Is there a way to remove the text that says unlocked when you boot.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
The Pudding thread talks about if 1.8.3 is flashed after pudding then the "reboot" text will no longer appear. However, be very careful with this because many have bricked their phone by flashing 1.8.3 over a GB build. See the sticky threads in the developer forum.

if you have never updated to GB OTA then use the link that i gave you...and flash 1.2.6..
I have flashed 1.2.6 then rooted, unlocked bootloader, flashed CWM..flashed three different GB ROMs...didn't like it..then I flashed 1.2.6 again using RSD..as long as you have never upgraded to GB via OTA..i think you should be fine...
any solution for those that are running GB OTA?
You can probably flash the 4.5.91 SBF. My understanding is that you just can still flash GB just not Froyo. Hunt around. I think there are other threads about this.

I'v searched around quite a bit, but still couldnt find the answer. I did originaly do the GB OTA. I am currently unlocked running CM7 Beta. My stupid LED flash burnt out again (SECOND FREAKING PHONE) so now i need to take it back within my 30 day's.I would just fix it my self but their are no parts out their for the flash. Im not worried about them going throught the phone logs to see if im unlocked. I just need to hide the text long enough to get past their cursory inspection. From what i have read, it is safe to to do 4.5.91 SBF flash just cannot go lower than that. Just want to make 100% sure before i go along this path.

Flashing the 4.5.91 SBF is as safe as anything (with normal flashing caveats) and will remove the "unlocked" text from the BL. However, there is a register that can be queried that will show that the bootloader has been unlocked.
If you flash the 1.8.3 SBF you will brick yerself.
You can't "relock" the bootloader.
Source: personal experience (I did the 4.5.91 flash yesterday)

What worked? Flashing with a GB SBF?
which SBF did you use?
Did you get rid of "unlocked" text?
How did you get rid of the 'unlocked' text?, where did you find the official 4.5.91 sbf ?
I want to get rid of mine because I am retentive (is all)!
Do you think we can flash Tenfar/ROMRacer recovery after we are rid of that bane of "unlocked" enunciation?
Do you think we can install the CM7 ?

you can flash a GINGERBREAD SBF file with RSD lite, but it will revert you back to complete stock.
you will lose the ability to install a custom recovery, and lose the ability to install custom ROMs.
