Unhappy Hopefully Not Bricked!!!

I recently purchased an atrix from a friend that was already updated to 2.3.6 and i successfully rooted it. After that i was under the impression i needed to unlock the bootloader to be able to get a shiny new rom on it. I followed the instructions given by G-Man in this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8#post26956828

Now all i get is a FAILED TO BOOT 0x1000 screen. Im afraid to do anything else from here and risk bricking and flushing a few hundred bucks down the toilet

Can i flash the official 4.5.141 sbf?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!



Edit: RESOLVED+Wrong area for post.
Sorry guys i apologize! :/

Button combination is the safest way, and works every time.
I personally prefer not to use Rom Manager for anything other then replacing (Updating) the recovery. In many custom roms there is a possibility to reboot the device straight to recovery, in the reboot menu.
Enjoy
