Hello,
I have unlocked my photon using fastboot. It also has a bunch of other things done to it, but I know how to undo those and return it to stock from those mods.
My Question:
What is the easiest method to relock the bootloader after I have unlocked it using fastboot?
TIA
Easiest is to flash the current sbf through rsd lite.

Tho its easy to flash the latest sbf the pudding remover takes less time to flash. They're both good methods

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.

Did you look at the thread talking about the ota update? At the bottom ofbthe original post it has links telling you how to unlock the bootloader and how to root.

You can now only use the sbf's that have been custom made with pudding otherwise you will hard brick.

I upgraded to stock OTA 2.3.4 yesterday, but need to get root so I was going to unlock the bootloader.
Seems OEM unlock fastboot command does not work, as it says "oem unlock is not implemented"
Any ideas?
flash pudding and try again. and, im pretty sure you don't need to unlock the BL to get root.
Preinstall method should work on locked BL.

You have to RSD the modified sbf after the stock upgrade to get the unlocked bootloader then you can use the fastboot OEM unlock command.

I thought RSD SBF on OTA 2.3.4 =permabrick

I followed the instructions in the [DEV] forum and unlocked the bootloader and fastbooted new recovery with CWM and applied root from a new stock Atrix. I'm not a total noob having unlocked the bootloader on the Xoom now running Tiamat 1.1 and a Cappy on Continuum 6.1.

I know this is posted probably somewhere but, how do you unlock your bootloader and flash roms, and still be able to flash back to 1.83 or even 1.26, and also be able to get OTA updates. Thanks (first time dealing with a Android bootloader)

Use pudding to unlock bootloader, and Kenneth Penn's 4.5.91 to go to GB. Can flash back from this. If you subsequently flash the upcoming OTA, you most likely won't flash back, as Moto has tried to prevent flashing back with the latest upgrade.

I have AT&T gb ota stock never rooted can I still unlock and root or do I flash back to 1.8.3 with rsd lite? Is it safer to flash back? Plz help I don't know where to look
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
do not RSD!! And yes you can unlock and root. When you flash pudding, you will soft brick, don't worry just enter fastboot mode, and type the unlock commands

DO NOT FLASH BACK TO 1.83, IF YOU ALREADY FLASHED TO OTA YOU WILL HARDBRICK
If you want to root and unlock bootloader you can always use my script for a easy way

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...
