Did you flash the pudding unlock sbf first, before entering fastboot? If not, see Pudding OP in dev section.

I would grab the "Unlocker for 1.8.3 and 4.5.91 ATT firmwares" from the main Pudding thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
It's under the Unlock part of the OP (ATT ONLY).
Flash that small sbf file with RSD Lite.
Once finished flashing the unlock sbf file, Reboot, enter fastboot mode then enter the unlock commands.
See if that works.

Were you unlocked before trying to flash Ninja rom?
unlocked... no at least I dont think? Obviously I was rooted but unlocked i dunno...
That is why, your bootloader has to be unlocked.

Ah ok... gingerblur was a pseudo-rom... made before we were able to install custom roms because we couldn't unlock our bootloader. That changed last month when devs figured it out and thus the newer custom roms. To install them you need to unlocked your bootloader.
Please read this thread for information on how to unlock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
Now, since you're already softbricks, running that may not work right now. BUT it's start.
My suggestion- read the thread, follow the instructions and see if that gets you to boot up properly after running the oem unlock.
If not, then download a fresh stock 1.8.3 SBF form the development thread and RSD flash that.
Ok thank you for your help, will post a question if I come to one. How would I download the stock 1.8.3 SBF if I am stuck on the boot screen? Im feeling like Im in over my head, Paypal donation to anyone who can walk me through this....

Stock SBFs are in the development forum as well.
I guess first things first, do you have the tools needed
Do you have or know how to use RSD?
How about Fastboot?
Just downloaded RSD lite and flashed the SBF..
"Open and extract the Fastboot package from above" is the step I am on.. Not sure where to go from here.
The phone rebooted to the same screen that it was at before with the error message but says PASS in RSDLite for the sbf flash

Which SBF? The pudding/unlock?
If you flashed the pudding SBF, then you need to do the fastboot steps next.
Did you download and unzip the fastboot package to your computer?
I did, I just dont know what to do with fastboot. Do I run it or what?.. THANKS A TON BY THE WAY...
Ok, I still have the failed to boot 2, but I am now getting the Starting Fastboot protocol support. I dont understand this step..
Type the following command:
fastboot oem unlock

let's say you saved and extracted the fastboot files to c:\fastboot
then you have to open up CMD (start - run - cmd )
then cd to the directory it's saved (in this example c:\fastboot )
Now you have to get your phone into fastboot mode (directions are in the link), but in short, as you turn on your phone, hold the down button. THen it should say fastboot, then hit volume up, should say entering fastboot
Then back on computer in the command window
while your in the fastboot directory
type the oem unlock command (specific command in the instruction).
after it's all done, type fastboot reboot.
I have to go now for a while, but if all that doesn't work. I suggest flashing via RSD the 1.83 SBF with Pudding built in.
The download is in the pudding thread near the top "1. All phones If you have unlocked then try to use 2.3.4 update zip from Motorola servers, then revert back to a "pre-unlock" version(1.8.3 or earlier on ATT) you will get bricked! Do not use the OTA via experimental servers and revert to older versions WITHOUT pudding preinstalled in your sbf.
ATT ONLY Get your 1.8.3 with pudding from gitbrew or multiupload."
I cant figure out where to type the command in (fastboot oem unlock) i have the screen that came up when i located the fastboot. It has a list of commands, but nothing about oem unlock...

Is your phone in fastboot mode and connected?
All you gotta do is just type the command in the command window
C:\fastboo\ fastboot oem unlock
I flashed the SBF from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182526
yesterday and I was wondering if it automatically unlocks the device for me. How do I tell if I'm unlocked and/or what are the procedures to unlock my phone after flashing this SBF? Thanks.
reboot your phone and in the top left it should say 'unlocked' if you've unlocked it.
Just with flashing that sbf you are not 100% unlock you still need to run fastboot OEM unlock command and enter your unique ID

Thanks, so does this mean that I don't have to do the SBF step? Just go into fastboot and do the unlock part only right?

Correct, that's the main utility of flashing that particular sbf
Thanks, just unlocked my Trix. I like to make sure everythings in order before I do stuff to avoid unneeded bricks.

You will re-lock the phone by flashing the SBF. To unlock reflash the unlock file..you'll still be on the latest SBF.

Is your bootloader unlocked?
As stated above you need to make sure you have an unlocked boot loader in order to flash any ROMS onto the Atrix. Here is a guide on how to accomplish this task:

Rooting does not unlock your bootloader.

You can have an unlocked bootloader and not have "unlocked" on your boot screen.
Please see the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15573674&postcount=1
The only true way to know if your bootloader is unlocked is to check /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm.

But still he will have to flash the pudding file to make work the unlocked bootloader which is given in the unlocking thread and will display "UNLOCKED" on the bootscreen.He is on failed to boot screen how can he check ReservedOdm he will find about the bootoader when he will use the fastboot command for unlocking which will display "already unlocked" if his phone bootloader is unlocked.
So tired of searching for this file. Everyone keeps saying i need to find 2.3.6 .spf for RSD to unlock bootloader but all th elinks are broken. Can anyone get me a link to the 2.3.6 SPF please?

will this work? top one..or do i need 2.3.6 if im currently 2.3.6?..
edit: well top one isnt right... i dont know wich of these is for ATT US version heh...theres a 2.3.6 but its for Bell ...
Here ya go. das8nt is a big help here on xda and on the atrixforums. http://www.das8nt.com/sbffiles.html Make sure you got the motorola drivers, read the guide a couple times before attempting if you haven't used RSDlite before. Don't downgrade, use the version SBF that your on now currently. Downgrading will result in a hard brick! If you're looking to unlock your bootloader you need the pudding file here Unlocker for 1.8.3 and 4.5.91 ATT firmwares. It worked for me when I unlocked on 2.3.4, should work on 2.3.6.

Got it! Thanks! Now for some reason adb shell isnt working like it was yesterday. Shrug* sigh ideas?
After you flashed the pudding, did you boot to fastboot and issue the 'fastboot oem unlock' command to unlock the bootloader as described here? Do you have root? what do you get when you type 'adb devices' ? You have usb debugging enabled while booted in android?
