Yes you have to have an unlocked bootloader to load the newer roms on your phone

Thanks for the info and that sucks things were easier before I updated to gingerbread. Ok so if I unlock my bootloader and something goes wrong down the road can I restore it back to factory so it can be sent in for repairs

Anyone know if you can using pudding after using the OTA 4.5.91 ATT Gingerbread update?
A lot of bricking going on so I didn't want to flash anything without verifying first.
Otherwise does anyone know if you can regain root with the locked bootloader?

Yes, I used pudding afterwards, but preinstall method works on locked BL. Bell users have used it
Yep just what jruweaver said. Preinstall flash works great. Rooted and locked rocking 4.5.91.

Jruweaver,
Im am on stock OTA 2.3.4 via update.zip in android recovery.
Not rooted, nor have I ever run any pudding/unlock flash.
Am I stuck on OTA? Concerned because I don't want to RSD flash and hard brick.

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
This is the unlocked bootloader version:

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.
Hi. Iam on ota 2.3.4. Do you need to unlock the bootloader in order to obtain root, & teathering? Also after i unlock the bootloader is there a rom that has root and teathering included without having to use adb commands? Rooting was easy on 2.2 but there seems to be alot more steps to root 2.3.4

Use preinstall root to gain root (eval gave script commands. Just copy and paste) unlock is not required. There are a few roms but not too many with built in root. I only know of kens gingerbread build

i believe the OTA update to 2.3.4 officially unlocks the bootloader.... someone may have to confirm.
you will not need to unlock bootloader in order to get root. they are independent.

No.
2.3.4 instead of unlocking the BP it updates it. And if you unlock and then flash sbf with older version of BP(1.8.3 or older), you will get a hard brick!!!
They didn't unlocked the BP officially.
Unlocking became from a leaked version of their 2.3.4 update!
See pudding thread in dev section for info.
Agree with root and unlocking.

I know, i know i am a noob, but i have a question. If i root my Motorola Atrix, did that unlock the bootloader. I want to install the ROM Aura and in the Requirements: it said you need an unlocked bootloader, and i know i am rooted but not sure if i have an unlocked bootloader. Any help?
Rooting does NOT unlock the bootloader. What you need is use the IHOP (AKA Pudding) method.
Info about that is in the Dev section. Just search for IHOP and that will give you the info about how to unlock the BL...

I can at least keep this alive and going. Mine was previously unlocked, and, once the update applied, which did it overnight without my permission (HNNNGH), I lost it. What do I do now?

Yes /10 char
I think you will find that you just lost the unlock graphic; unlocking involves burning out one of the eFuses, so you can't relock.
Hi everone
Im using a rooted, BT UL Atrix 4G with 2.3.6 4.5.191. and Im wondering if this is possible to perform this downgrade or/to 2.3.4
I want to do that becouse my GPS takes a lot to get a fix and I had no luck with other methods like: changing gpsconfig, recalibrating compass, using different radios
Thanks
Downgrading to 2.3.4 IS POSSIBLE provided you have previously unlocked your bootloader AND you have a backup of 2.3.4 through CWM.
This is treacherous territory, and I'm not sure if there's been resolution on whether or not it's safe.
Your safest bet? Fruit cake it back to 4.5.91.
Is it possible to downgrade using RSD if the bootloader was never unlocked?

Yeah it is working fine on 4.5.141 ... Unlocked and Rooted, running Neutrino 2.8 GT
But the phone is heating up even @ 1 GHz. (no undervolt)
So was curious if flashing the ROM over 4.5.91 will help or not.
- Is it not possible to downgrade even using Nottach's method? Flashing the 4.5.91 images directly from fastboot and not bothering with RSD ?

Downgraded successfully by flashing the separate partition using moto-fastboot.
