Next time try searching first.

Also this is off-topic here, your question has absolutely nothing to do with bootloader unlock.

Confirmed: Unlock Atrix 4G running 2.3.6

I have been holding off because i have not been able to find anyone whose specfically tried this on this software version, if anyone has i would appriciate if you could give me some info how you did it and what files you used thx

I just performed this on my Atrix 4G that was running 2.3.6 Stock exactly 7 days ago. It was the first time I had ever done anything to my phone since the last AT&T update. I had root before the update, but it was taken away when I applied the update. Since Motorola doesn't want to do a major update for my phone (Boo to them!), I decided to try flashing CM7 Olympus, and now I wish I had done it sooner!

I didn't check the links above, but I followed these instructions to the letter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423

The process made me nervous, but it worked perfectly!

EDIT: Those are the closest instructions I could find to the original ones I had. I found the ones I actually used on Atrix Forums' website. The article is called "[TUT]Unlocking Bootloader and Installing Custom ROMs" (I'm too new to link to an external site due to forum regulations.)

Unlocked same version from ATT

I had to flash 4.1.83 sbf. The regular unlock process. But be careful as it could brick your phone. I experimented and luck was on my side.

Thanks,
Jinesh

Followed those instructions as well. I feel like I am very close to having my phone back to where it needs to be for me to consider the mission a success I am only experiencing an issue adding Google accounts and getting into the android Market. I did a titanium backup restore and got all of my apps back and restored system settings, but Gmail crashes every time I try to open it and the Market opens a white window then goes away without any warning or error info.

I haven't flashed a custom rom so I am still in the stock Gingerbread ROM.

Trying to add a Google account gives me the message "Can't Establish a reliable connection..." If I followed this guide, am I fine to do a hard reset, as that is the only solution I have found online to the Can't Establish connection error?

If your intentions were to flash a custom rom, I would perform a nandroid backup and then flash away following the instructions you've been using.

If you unlocked the bootloader, your phone was probably returned to stock just like performing a hard reset. Google Play (or Market) usually needs a very good connection to run its first update, so if you're not on wifi, connect to that first. If you still have that problem, try clearing the data for that app (from the home screen > Menu > Manage Applications > "Market" > Clear Data)

If you were trying to flash a fruitcake (to return it to stock after flashing a custom ROM), still try clearing the app data and, if that doesn't work, try flashing the fruitcake again.
