lol i didnt get what you just said but um , you can unlock your bootloader then after that dont use the rsd lite to go back a version . so if your at 4.5.91 and you wanna unlock your bootloader then do it but dont flash back to earlyer versions like 1.83 or ect . Their are fruit cakes you can flash to go back or to go back to stock .

I will perephrase my question for everybody to understand.

Phone is not rooted or unlocked BL just updated AT&T OTA 4.5.91.

OK. I will download Automatic bootloader UNLOCK/ROOT for AT&T 1.26/1.57/1.83/4.5.91 [UPDATE 07/31/11] unlock and root my phone. Then install CWM download cyanogen *.zip and install it from SDcard. Am I right?
He understood what you were saying. He was just trying to tell you that downgrading after the OTA is how people have "hard" bricked their phones.
So:
1. Yes, you can unlock the BL (and install CM)
2. After you unlock the BL, never use RSD.

Make sure you use flash Romracer's recovery after you unlock the BL.

I should use Automatic bootloader UNLOCK/ROOT for AT&T 1.26/1.57/1.83/4.5.91 [UPDATE 07/31/11] ?
Yeah, if you have an AT&T branded Atrix you can use that. Just be sure to read the instructions carefully. Since you have the OTA already installed you will have to use Option #3 in the script after using Option #1 to unlock the BL. It will also ask you about flashing a recovery, go ahead and flash Tenfar's but after that go to the link I gave you (see above) and you can flash that recovery.

Hey man, I'm in the same situation as you were a few days ago, i have an ATT Atrix with the 4.5.91 OTA update, and I want to Unlock the bootloader.
I was wondering what method did you end up using and what do you reccomend.
And thanks for starting this thread! I'm sure it's going to help a lot of people in our same situation.
*EDIT: Couldn't wait for your response, so I went ahead and tried it myself: Works perfect.
Now my Bootloader is unlocked and my phone is rooted. Got that first-timer 4.5.91 soft-brick tho, not a fun experience that part, but using a script included in the tool I managed to get out of that situation.
Here is the link to the thread with the tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
Hope this helps anyone that stumbles with this same question.

I am not 100% sure but on the title it says "ALL BLs" which I suppose stands for all bootloaders so probably no you don't need to unlock it.
the rom u mentioned does not requires an unlocked bootloader...
bt it order to run any rom based on cm9 ... u need to unlock bootloader.... as these roms require a custom kernel
clear ?
it says no on the service info to unlock the bootloader so what can i do?
when i get home im gonna install cwm from here http://theunlockr.com/2013/01/14/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-sony-xperia-go/
would it work if i just put cwm? and then flash the rom?
and if not is there a way that i can unlock my bootloader even tho it says no or do something???/??

but very quickly what does flash boot img mean? do i jsut flash the zip?
So I flashed the ARHD rom and ElementalX kernel and ever since my phone seems to only be able to pick up 1 bar everywhere I go. I don't know if flashing the rom and kernel could affect the network somehow, but I am going to try to flash back to stock to see if my network improves. Is there a way to just wipe the rom and kernel memory off my phone, or would I need to flash another rom and kernel? I have never reverse flashed back to stock. Any help is much appreciated,

Which RUU did you use? Also, please reboot in bootloader mode and see if any TAMPERED sign is showing or not. If no TAMPERED is shown, you will get and be able to install OTA.

According to my understanding, if it doesn't show TAMPERED, then everything about your phone is stock (except for S-OFF). Did you try AT&T OTA?

OK, I just bought this phone and have hboot 2.49 also. But you say you are rooted? and have custom recovery installed? I searched all night and from what I could tell this is not possible without s off? IS there a root and recovery method? If so could you point me to it so I could get rid of this bloated ass rom please?

You need to unlock ur bootloader , and flash a custom recovery using fastboot. However u will lose ur fingerprint sensor's functionality until u get s-off .

Sorry for no reply. Working on unbricking someone's phone. You need to install Att latest firmware. R you on pure stock now? If so don't worry bout if firmware has boot.img ....firmware might have stock recovery.img which will replace twrp if that Dev don't remove recovery like I do from my firmware. So just flash firmware with fastboot an download a new twrp that is for your device then fastboot that an then pick a Att ROM you want an you should be able to flash it. Try that let me know. Any questions let me know. MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP before you wipe phone in twrp an try an flash ROM.

To flash newer builds,newer firmware is required. This is stated in the O.P of most threads for ROM's.
