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.

You will re-lock the phone by flashing the SBF. To unlock reflash the unlock file..you'll still be on the latest SBF.
I unlocked my bootloader by going into fastboot and typing fastboot oem unlock, then it asked my to type it with my device id, so i copied the device id so i typed fastboot oem unlock ******** and it worked, it says unlocked and works

I used the one click method for my Nexus s 4G... does that method unlock the bootloader also or is there a seperate step?
If you didn't need to wipe out everything on your phone, your bootloader is probably still locked.
To confirm, first turn off your phone (power it off completely) then turn it on while holding the up volume button. This will boot into the bootloader which will display whether or not it is locked.
Also, during a normal boot, you'll see an unlocked padlock icon where the boot loader is unlocked.

Rooting the phone will not unlock your bootloader. But seeing how you have a Nexus, the bootloader is super easy to unlock. Check out the nexus s forum, but I am pretty sure it is just a command in ADB..."fastboot oem unlock". Don't go off of that though, definitely check the forum.
yes using the one click will unlock your bootloader, its how the nexus s devices root
also to get bette rhelp on it next time post in the thread of the tool

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.
Is there a way to check if your bootloader is unlocked? I know on HTC devices you reboot bootloader and it will tell you. Does the atrix have something like this?
After reboot, should appear "unlocked" in the top left of the screen.
Atrix - "CM7"
Are you sure? do you have to unlock the BL to root it?

No.
Answered your other thread.
Also yes, you cannot have an unlocked bootloader without "Unlocked" appearing on startup screen, and vice versa. So that's the 100% reliable check if your BL is locked or not.
FOLLOW A TUTORIAL (XDA FORUM)!
Iff all goes well, appears "unlocked"!

Bootloader can be unlocked without "unlocked" being on boot screen. Once its unlocked it remains unlocked, even if you don't have unlock functionality because a sbf or fruitcake was flashed. Remember, this removes the word "unlocked" from the boot screen.
Edit........search for thread about checking ODM Fuse. This is only way to be sure if you are unlocked or not. If I remember a value of 1 = locked, 0 = unlocked.

Hi, I awant to root my H901 by unlocking bootloader (V20J). However, my concern is can it be locked again as I will sell it after a month or so and I don't want any bootloader unlock alert at startup? Has anyone tried to relock? Plz let me know, thanks.

To relock the bootloader follow the following instructions:
Put your phone under the fastboot mode
enter the following commands: fastboot oem lock
Keep in mind that while your boot-loader is locked, you will not be able to root or flash ROMs to your phone.

Thanks. Yes I can unlock the bootloader again to gain root but I have read in unlock thread guide that relocking might have unknown results. Have you or anyone else tried relocking personally?

You should not re-lock you bootloader if you have root but if you are going to trade in your phone or sell it then you should definitely re-lock your bootloader after you flash a stock ROM.
Bump..... Anyone successfully relocked bootloader without any error and got rid of unlocked bootloader at startup?
