It's different.
Why did you post your question in the Droid DNA general section if you are looking for Maxx_hd help?

Did you try flashing the unlock sbf first with RSD Lite?
It's painful how unhelpful people are around here.
Did you already update to 2.3.4 over the Motorola servers? I thought I remember people saying that you're unable to unlock the bootloader on the final release build of GB :<

well you should try and flash Download ATT 2.3.4 pudding+root here through RSDLite 5.3.1 link
if that does not work you should try looking at
Guide for beginners

You can still unlock, you will just have a soft brick that will fix when you issue the unlock commands. You just have to make sure that you use the fruitcakes through CWM if you need to go to an earlier build or else you will hard brick.
Here, since you're in such a rush, take a look at this:

I would like to thank everyone who did help, after a few tries pudding was sucessful, thank you all!!!
I just got my Atrix replaced today because of the wifi error issue and I can't figure out how to unlock and root the phone now. On my previous Atrix I was running CM7.
It's running Android 2.3.4 and I keep reading that you can't use RSDlite (which I tried) to do the traditional fastboot unlock. How do I unlock the bootloader and root it now?

No offense, start with the FAQs here, people have put the time to into pre-answering these questions. Searching can turn up a lot also.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160778
As far as I know you can't unlock on a mac, again, if it's been done, searching on mac in the Rezound section would turn up the process.
Good luck and enjoy your new phone.
sorry

sorry i did not realize that section. sorry
Don't see why you couldn't unlock on a Mac. You just need adb and fastboot from the SDK, and the SDK is available for Mac

Since I posted that, I've seen like three mac threads pop up, it does look like it's possible

I know this is a noob question, but I have spent last several days trying to figure out how to unlock bootloader, and i am exhausted. Please help
I know that i have to unlock the bootloader first, recovery, nandroid, to ADB.. to ROM. I just cant seem to get off the ground.
I have read the forums to unlock the bootloader, but it has not been working. I think it's the fact that this has the OTA that make those forum threads obsolete.
I would greatly appreciate to those that can lead to me the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
