How do you root the atrix without unlocking the bootloader, I was looking for a guide but don't see one.

Rooting

Is there a stable method of rooting my Atrix with the official Gingerbread update yet?

You can use the /preinstall method which is safe or if you want to unlock the BL also check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 everything you want to do to the phone is there.

Sim Unlocked

I unlocked my bootloader through the pudding method. I then flashed CM7 onto my phone. Do I still have to unlock my sim to be carrier free?
Yes

Is this working? (Unlock bootloader)

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/unlocking-boot-loader
I stumbled across that page, and I wanted to know if it's legit? it seems much easier than testpointing my Xperia Active.
Yes that will work, but voids your warranty. That's the official Bootloader unlock method by Sony. You will lose DRM and you cannot use ota Updates and trackid...

Besides, you can only use that method if you have Bootloader unlock allowed: yes, if no, only testpoint method will work

[Q] unlocking bootloader without using the official method?

Are there any devs who are working on an unlocking method for those who cannot use the official unlocking procedure?
Its impossible. To unlock the bootloader, you need the key from SONY. Every key is DIFFERENT.
