Help a noob go back in time! - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i know this is brought up alot on the forums and theres plenty of answers but im that much of a noob too flashing ect.. that i have no idea what any of these answers are talking about and i need someone to help me through how to do it...
I put gingerblur on my rooted atrix yesterday using this video
youtube.com/watch?v=MvC0C2h95BY&list=FLqfb2F1A2s4Z08JTFsWNuGg& index=4&feature=plpp_video (which involves CMW or something)
meaning i had no idea what i was doing just following step by steps on the video, and ever since my homescreen button and search button dont work and i no longer have a lock screen so i want to go back to stock because i dont like the bugginess!
my phone before i put it on gingerblur was 2.2.2 froyo on tmobile uk (unlocked device with no tmobile branding on the rear cover)
i would really apreciate it if someone could guide me how to turn it back to the software it came with or an official less buggy software please?
i checked my ota upgrade with gingerblur on the device and it says i can go to ATT gingerbread but then im sure this wouldnt work in the uk with the radio update but someone said i can do the ota then just flash the radio to a uk one but i had no idea what that means
im not sure at all what im doing with this and i wish i didnt follow the tutorial in the first place can someone help me please!
i just want to get back to stock or an official software that will work on tmobile uk and not brick my phone.
any helpe is appreciated thank you!
P.S i have CWM recovery does this have anything to do with restoring your phone how it was because it seems to have recovery options?

Did you unlock the bootloader? If you did, and have CWM, just install a ROM of your preference
If you want a hint on what ROM to choose,
Most of the ROMS available are based on 2.3, so consider going with CM7 if you like AOSP or Aura if you want blur

---

im not sure what a bootloader is all i can say i did was root my phone, then use that tutorial thats all iv done.. ohh ok so rather than being able to go back too a stable stock build i have to stay with roms full of bugs? :/

---

I'm gonna assume that you have tried a factory reset (most basic thing i could imagine)
I don't think that there are any SBFs for people with the T-mobile version, so i think the only thing you can do is either search for a removal tool or unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery and then install a ROM.
You should read this. Or you can follow this video guide.
Actually, ROMs can often be very stable and offer way more functionality.
You could always grab a "stock" ROM and install that, should be as close to stable as you can get.

---

ohh ok well i already have CWM recovery install in my phone so i guess installing a stable rom would be the best option for me? until i can go back to stock by sbf

What version of CWM do you have? How did you install it?

and i install it exactly how the video tutorial shows i cant explain how i did it because i just followed exactly everything the video tutorial did, please watch it so you can help me

You need to unlock your bootloader before you install a ROM, all hell will prbably break loose elseways..
I doubt a stable 2.2 sbf will be available ever.

wait i already installed gingerblur without knowing anything about unlokcing bootloaders? but when my screen boots up the logo is green and says gingerblur so does that mean its unlocked?
if not could you send me a guide that wont mess my phone up bearing in mind its already got gingerblur on it and is rooted
yeah that what i thought i regret doing the whole thing and not just leaving my phone alone now

if i use a unlocker that meant to be used on gingerbread on my gingerblur will it still work?

---

no offence
no offence to people who have tried to help but iv still got nowhere.
i wish i just left my phone how it was now. im stuck with no home button or search button, no calender widget, no lock screen, no fingerprint scanner...
my phone bootloaded must have been unlocked for me to even put gingerblur on it?
all i have done is used a tutorial to root it and then another that i put in the description to put gingerblur on and now will people please please please just watch the video and understand my sistuation
and tell me step by step what i have to do with links...
so far i understand i should unlock the bootloader but does gingerblur count as me having gingerbread or am i still on 2.2.2?!
thank you

Gingrrblur is not a real rom therefore you are not unlocked and do not have a full cwm that you can flash other roms with. Just use an sbf from the firmware thread to get you back to stock gb then if you want to find a radio corresponding to your area on the same thread. Both are flashed through rsd lite

yes, Gingerblur is a pseudo-ROM (p-ROM) and from what I know, it doesn't touch alot of important parts of the phone, for example the bootloader.
I'm guessing your bootloader is exactly the same as a regular 2.2. I guess flashing the IHOP_Bell.sbf and then doing fastboot unlock should do the trick

ok we're getting somewhere
I kinda understand now so could you send me some links in the order I need to so each thing please? One thing I don't want to do is install software from at&t and then have the wrong radio lol from what IV found there's no T-mobile software but is some orange ones and seeing as tmobile and orange are the same company in the uk, so basically I could get official gingerbread software then a T-mobile radio software and put them both on my atrix now I just need to know how to do it
