I unlocked two brand new atrix phones on 2.3.6. Not sure what the differences are.
Weird,how did u do it? I remember a loooooong thread about people trying to unlock the bootloader,but rsd would never work since moto perma locked em, i unlocked mine fine, but i broke the screen, so i sent it through bestbuy warranty, and i got a newer model(speaker grill was also diff) and it wouldnt work with rsd.BUT i got mine to say unlocked through that fix failed to boot option, but still couldnt install roms n such

I just used the manual method until the failed to boot, then switched to the automatic script. Had no problems.
Do you still have the script?

I'm a n00b and I swear I checked the n00b guide and searched before posting this. Do you still have the automatic script to unlock the Atrix? The link in the thread doesn't work and Gitbrew/Git hub seems to be down. I tried searching for the script in google and am not having any luck. I did manage to download a copy of Pudding's 4547-fix-try2.sbf file, but I keep getting an error when attempting to flash it to my Atrix trhoguh RSD Lite v5.6. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I get the message failed to boot 0x1000 Entering NVFLASH RECOVERY MODE.
I had installed Cyanogen Mod 2.3.4 and didn't like it at all and tried to flash the sbf to 2.3.3 . Now that I am reading it seems like a dumb move.
This message comes up when I turn it on and disappears quickly to remain at a black screen.
Is there anything I can do?

Yes, it was a dumb move. You should have read all the warnings that said NOT to sbf flash after bootloader unlock.
Anyway, now you need to SBF flash 2.3.4 with pudding and you should be good to go.
How can I flash sbf 2.3.4 if RSD Lite doesn't show anything? Or should I be using a different program like fastboot?
Do I just redownload the 2.3.4 cyanogen and install with the program you suggest? I am unsure how this will work because the computer doesn't beep or anything like that when I connect it.
Thanks for your help.
We don't have the program to nvflash our devices. You can try to get motorola to replace it but but otherwise i believe you're screwed

the only two sbf's that are safe to flash for people who installed the OTA update to gingerbread is the 2.3.4 sbf and the pudding sbf.
any others have the possibility of hard bricking your device, and nvidia hasn't released the nvflash program; therefor we're stuck at this step. no way to recovery from it.
What about these people I read about hacking up a usb cable ?

That is to rsd flash without a battery, in case you flash when your battery is too low and the phone dies mid flash

I have another battery that I can use and a friend has an Atrix I can stick the battery in to charge up. Does that improve the chances?

We don't have the program to NVflash an atrix. If you can get into rsdlite mode to flash an sbf you can fix it, but if
nvflash is your only option then you are hard bricked

I sent my phone in for repair and they sent me a new one. Took the full 7 working days after they received it but I am happy. No more rooting / messing with this until nvflash is working.

Nvflash may never be released...
Rooting should never give you any problems. Unlocking the bootloader and putting on a custom rom just requires some reading and more reading beforehand but isn't too hard if you follow the instructions.
Well i am not rooted at the moment cause i flashed a zip that took root off and still have a custom kernal going with unlocked bootloader is that even supposed to be possible?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Thats impossible. As soon as you flashed that "zip" it over writes everything. You need to be unlock to have a custom kernel

well thats what i thought but i couldent use root explorer or any root access apps but when i turn off the phone it still says unlock

Interesting. Interesting indeed. Is there anyway you could upload a vid of this?
i wouldent suggest it seeing now after it turned off it wouldent do the sbf files to fix. idk if it was dealing with that cause the sbf always finishes but ends up in a boot loop which as of right now im trying to fix it. but if it happens again ill c what i can do to show you. cause i always thought you had to be rooted to have an unlocked but idk if it was just a one time thing
Is the super user app installed?

I have this same issue right now how it happened for me is that I orginally used the one click root method I found here. Later down the road I noticed that a stable build of cm7 had come out so I decided to try it out. I flashed pudding and it worked just fine and unlocked the device when I went to go get clockwork on the device however, I noticed the my root was no longer working reading in the comments section I saw that the one click root method was not compatible with the unlocked bootloader. I tried to root the phone with the system.img file that it mentioned using in the guide it worked at least as far as pushing it to the device but still no root. I then tried to flash the device back to stock I used the sbf file provided and it did wipe the phone but I still have the unlock icon when I boot the phone and can no longer root it no matter what method I try. If anyone can help me with re locking my device, I would greatly appreciate it.
Have you tryed the depudding. Go into the pudding unlock section theres one that relocks it just like how u unlocked it
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
As far as I'm aware, being unlocked and being rooted are two separate processes on this phone. You don't have to have one to have the other. I've been rooted and locked, rooted and unlocked, and unlocked with no root. Hope that helps.
And I haven't had any problems with the one-click root and unlocking or sbf-ing back to stock.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Thanks for the help guys I got it to work now had to do a factory reset and then flash the sbf file and the seemed to unroot the device it still didn't unlock it however I think if I used the depudding method curly mentioned it would work.

I am currently running an "unlocked bootloader" on a non- rooted system on my photon 4g. I was rooted and then unrooted because I couldn't flash cwm for some reason....I am really really looking to installing miui with the ultimate iphone theme. I love how poloshed and clean it looks!
Atrix 2.3.4 - 4.5.91
First off, I've done like 10 hours of researching today so please bare with me.
I thought I had unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone in the past. I'm able to tether so that was a sign I did it.
Today I attempted to install romracer cwm based recovery with rom manager. When i tried to install Rom from the sd. it restarted and said "failed to boot 2" after doing some research it said it was possible my bootloader was not unlocked. Now I think i did the right steps back when.
How do I find out for sure if my boot loader is unlocked.
I'm doing all this because Im attempting to get my phone back to stock as can be. I want to get it back to warranty for the following reasons
1) my video play back is all messed up on my recorder. (will a sbf fix this)?
2) when i insert a external sd card to my atrix, my screen sometimes turns black when it wants to).
So this is where i'm stuck. I read the newbie threads. Thanks for all the info. But man this "failed to boot 2" scared me. Luckily it didn't brick my phone. Took out battery and it started back up.
Help please
If your unlocked it will say unlocked in red letters at top of screen when turned on. If you aren't unlocked its possible you have just rooted your phone I think not positive that a factory reset would unroot your phone. Just go into recovery hold volume down when turning it on cycle down with volume down and choose with volume up in recovery both volume rockers are used to navigate and power is choose.

Use pudding thread to unlock your bootloader, install Rom Racers CWM via fastboot after you are unlocked. If you want to make sure you are rooted after that, use the Moto root, stuck at top of the General section.

You can flash to stock if your bootloader is locked. I did it and worked like a charm.

Hey im sending my atrix to motorola for repair but im currently bootloader unlocked and rooted and it says unlocked at boot. i know that to relock bootloader is impossible but whats must i do to make the unlocked text go away and get back to stock. im planning to send it to motorola cause my screen has dusk under it and that makes front camera blurry. Im also thinking of maybe telling them my phone overheats and gets random shut downs so they will send me a new atrix cause this one has scratches and that would make it easier to sell.
I read somewhere that you have to flash with RSD lite to remove the unlocked text. It's very dangerous and it can brick your phone if not done correctly.
Flashing a Fruitcake should remove the word unlocked when booting up. Check the Fruitcakes thread for more details...

Flashing through cwm will not remove the unlocked text. The only way to do it is through rsd lite so just do a basic search for that and I'm sure you will find something.

That's the truth, do this. I did. It worked no problem, and warranty was great. No complaints.
it is rare that I ever ask for help around these parts. But I just recently got my droid x2 back and wanted to try cm10 alpha 3. The problem is it doesn't seem to want to root. I have SBF'd numerous times and tried both Motorola one click root tool and Pete's Motorola root tool (which actually has worked every time when I used the DX2 as my daily driver with no problems). No matter how many times I run the programs, it seems to stay stock, unrooted gingerbread. Now remember, I have been around these forums for a long time and know what I'm doing. The only difference is that the phone has no number attached to it. Meaning its a WiFi only device. I have tried to bypass the activation which was successful. But I have not been able to root it and install the bootstrap recovery. It just goes through the process and stays the same. I have USB debugging on and checked the unknown sources box. It's been a while since I've done this so I may be missing something. All these tools are the same ones that I've always used with no problems. The only difference is that its a WiFi only device now. So is there any reason why the normal process wouldn't work now?

Yep, I never had this phone on 2.3.5. And these same tools always worked in the past. But I will try this other method.
you check windows device manager, for missing drivers?
Sent from my XT862 using xda premium
Just to double check, after an SBF, you get the activation screen. To bypass that, you have to turn off the phone, hold volume down and power then select "boot android (no bp)"? Thats what I'm doing and I'm just wondering if thats what is causing the phone to not be able to root. Thats the only difference there is from when I had this phone as a daily driver.

I'll double check the next time I do it. But I have attempted this on two different computers. Both of which I have successfully rooted on in the past.
