Using Rom Manager I tried flashing clockworkmod recovery onto my Atrix. I am rooted, but my bootloader is not unlocked. From what I have read, the bootloader needs to be unlocked before flashing clockworkmod recovery will work properly.
How can I undo my attempt to flash clockworkmod recovery and go back to the stock recovery?

you should be fine if the bootloader is locked you can't flash recovery without it being signed.
I get Failed to boot 2 when I try to boot into recovery.
That happened to me. Just run the unlock command from adb and it will boot normally. Then you can flash clockwork recovery. That or load a stock sbf, which is what I did the first time I got that error.

You have to unlock the bootloader first in order to flash clockworkmod recovery though right?
Would loading a stock sbf put the phone completely back to stock?

yes your bootloader MUST BE Unlocked b4 flashing clockworkmod will your phone boot up normal (not into clockworkmod if so just unlock ya bootloader if it will not you need to erase clockworkmod i think with fastboot erase clockworkmod

Download moto-fastboot-win32.zip (assuming you're on Windows) from this thread (at bottom of first post): moto-fastboot-win32.zip
1. Extract it.
2. Open command prompt and set the directory to where the files are extracted to. (cd /d "directory within quotes")
3. Power down your phone then hold the volume down button and power on the phone till fastboot appears at the top of the screen, then press volume up, make sure it says something like "Starting Fastboot Protocol".
4. Plug in phone to computer
5. Then type moto-fastboot erase recovery.
6. Now your recovery is erased from the phone.

[Q] Will flashing the stock .sbf file remove my unlocked boot loader?
Yes, flashing a stock .sbf via RSD Lite will restore your recovery back to stock, and relock your bootloader.

Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Im not entirely sure what you mean, im assuming you meant making a backup in CWM of your ROM when your unlocked, SBF back to stock then use bootstap to flash that backup to your phone while locked and stocked recovery? IF thats the case I know that it won't unlock your bootloader or change your recovery to CWM. You'll still be locked BL and stock recovery. Thats AFAIK, I haven't done it personally so don't quote me but thats how you used to be able to retain 4g with custom ROMS. It *should* install ok and work, but as stated before I personally haven't done this.

yep it will lose your unlock but i do a rsd this file i have (derpunlock.sbf) and it unlocks it in 2 seconds
Here is a download link direct, and Here is a site that has some info on step-by-step instructions of what to do.
Edit: I'm pretty sure that you will have to be connected to an AC power source each and every time you want to boot into bootstrap, so don't just overlook that part
after this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105017 i used one of the sbf in this sites http://www.das8nt.com/sbffiles.html
and flash it with RSD now i am trying agin to use fastboot and flash once more cwn and i get this message 'error cannot load recovery.img'
and when i tryd to erase and then flash and i got the same thing.
moreover when i start the phone somehow after i flash the sbf the tuch screen works funny (its not dead pixel) its like the touch screen moved one half inch lower
After flashing sbf, in order to flash a custom recovery, you first need to flash a pudding sbf file to unlock the bootloader. After unlocking the bootloader, running the command "fastboot oem unlock" and then repeating the command with your device's ID, you can flash CWM to your recovery.

i flashed to my original sbf Partner (Orange) Israel 2.3.4 / 45.33.0
Ok. After you flash that, you have to flash another sbf file over that one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261 will get you to the instructions on what to do. Since Orange is what is considered international, you need the IHOP sbf on the page.

i got a message its already unlock
and it still dont let me flash with fastboot
so do you any answer?
After seeking advice from a dev, this is the response i was given:
Could also be the recovery is in fact in that directory but is not named recovery.img. Or, if fastboot actually managed to load the file but still reports that error, it could be that his bootloader is either not unlocked or is having issues (the fastboot protocol is implemented in the bootloader AFAIK).

and tell me if i will flash other sbf file iy will make it worse?
I'm not sure what the heck is going on with your phone or how to fix it, but I'm going to advise you to stay far far away from SBFs from now on.

I'm going to recommend you ask one of the devs about how to fix it. You can flash another sbf file, but make sure it is the same version as what you have. So if you flashed a 2.3.6 sbf, you need to flash a sbf that is 2.3.6 or risk bricking your phone.

You can reboot your phone once you're done and delete the file with a file manager. The only issue you'll have is if you reboot the bootloader.
