I've tried The Automatic bootloader unlock tool all to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
I Also Have the Same Problem

Download this and flash it with RSD. After runs unlock oem.
Same problem!
I am also in the exact same situation as bjhom. Just received a warranty replacement phone from Motorola and cannot flash with fastboot or rsd lite. On my previous phone I could flash anything. Has to be the new phone!

Automatic Bootloader from the link should help you to unlock bootloader. I had the same issue. Try that and use the options belongs to 4.5.91.
See this thread. You have a blocked bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645836
I just unlocked my new atrix, and I used the manual adb method, until I got to failed to boot. Then I switched to the automatic script method. Worked just fine for me. I would say It's worth trying.
I know a lot are saying that Motorola has made them unlockable, but I have unlocked 2 of them. Don't give up. It's a much better phone unlocked.

Okay guys, i flashed the 2.3.4 ota as soon as it came out (before all this trouble with it of course) and now i am stuck because i was under the impression that the new bootloader would be unlocked so i had never even though about eating any pudding before the fact. Now i come to my trouble, im running a totally stock 2.3.4 att and i cant seem to find a way out.
Question #1- If i have a locked bootloader can i fruitcake back?
Question #2- Is there a possible way to unlock the new bootloader?
Question #3- How in heck do i get root, im on windows 7 and i recently tried the two bat files that one of the devs released and they were a no go, it didnt seem to flash the preinstall when i tried to look for it, it wasnt there. I have been quietly trying to fix this on my own for days now i am asking for a little help. Im stumped.
I got root using the /preinstall method with those 2 .bat files posted yesterday.
From page 30-35 is the guidance I followed from mramirezusa.
Other than that we are in the same boat.. I read puddings will flash relatively safely.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159950&page=30

hey man first things first. dont panic, you are not stuck. this is temporary at best, in the mean while theres plenty of stuff you can do, sbf is not safe to begin with. so actually be gladd you only got to use RSD one time
first things first, get yourselfed unlocked, pudding will do the trick. once after pudding, you never have to touch RSD
Once you are done with pudding go ahead and get tenfars unlocked cwm
once you are done with that you are free to flash pretty much all the roms, as usually custom roms, or fruit cakes dont have bl, only the rest
enjoy
Okay guys, thanks for your help. but let me get this clear, i do not have a unlocked bootloader, im a pudding virgin. I can simply rsd the 1.83 with pudding and thats it? No worries no nothing?

Yes but you still can't use any other sbf. I'd use the raw pudding sbf, unlock, then use CWM from here on out. No more rsd
Sorry about that. There is just the unlock and then the unlock packaged with 1.8.3. The one that has has been causing bricks from my understanding is the packaged one. Be sure you flash just the unlock.
Anyone know what exactly will be erased from /data after flashing the unlock? Also I don't want to restore backed up files that will conflict with new ones. Any guidance on this is appreciated.

All user data is wiped when unlocking. The 1.8.3 sbf with pudding is safe to flash but i recommend just using pudding and then CWM and ditch rsd.

Agree, just use the pudding only sbf. to unlock , then preinstall to get root.
Make sure to have 50 or so battery so you don't run into the trouble I had with battery being to low to fastboot. Also once you flash pudding you wont be able to boot the phone, don't panic just follow steps to fastboot oem unlock and phone will boot fine afterwards.

Which did you flash? Pudding or 1.8.3 with pudding?
Try connecting your phone to pc select fastboot and finish the pudding instructions (fastboot oem unlock)
It might boot then.

Here is what I did.
1. If you were to update to the OTA 4.5.91. Or already on the OTA 4.5.91 you can still unlock your bootloader.
2. Flash pudding only SBF so you can unlock the bootloader. http://diamantephoto.com/fastboot.rar direct link. Flash this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1136261 Original Post about pudding.
It will go to a text only 14 option screen and say something like boot failed 0x1000. Don't freak out and tell me you bricked you phone blah blah blah. You still have to unlock the bootloader by choosing fastboot from your phone and connecting it to the computer via usb. Make sure you have ADB with fastboot tools installed on you computer.
Open command prompt from you computer and type fastboot oem unlock. It'll display warning about voiding warranty and a unique device id. Type again fastboot oem unlock ############. The # are the unique device numbers. Don't type # it wont work. The instructions are posted on the pudding thread if you would like to read more about it.
Then type fastboot reboot to reboot. Unlock should be displayed on top left of screen and it'll take 5 long mins to boot up.
3.Then you need to install CWM and root.
You'll find instructions in the developers form. But if your lazy here is the CWM link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1138541 follow the instructions or every time you reboot you will loose CWM. For root there are two available for gingerbread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1140110 I used this one and got root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1138204 I hear this works too.. Haven't tested read the post if you want to use this method.
As always don't blame me for bricking if you happen to do so. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. these are the steps I took to unlock and everything works great. Absolutely no problems with my phone after wards.
One thing unlocking your bootloader will format/erase data. Basically a factory data reset so make sure you backup everything with titanium or you favorite app. I would not restore system apps as i've had a few problems with email and motoblur force closes.
Is there a way to root without unlocking the bootloader?

Yes.
Follow the instructions listed on here:

If you have problems be sure to read through the thread as someone else has most likely already had the same issue.

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.
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 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.
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?
att atrix 4g 2.3.6
I foud 2.3.4....
http://www.filefactory.com/f/89f588286a560e39/
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?
