Well I went and had a nice couple hour trip unlocking my bootloader and installing root and cwm here are some links to help you guys out.

I have the OTA of 2.3.4 that was released July 22ndSo please keep in mind I have only tested this on an ATRIX at&t on the OTA 2.3.4 and my bootloader was locked.My phone was rooted prior to this but if you loose root you can use the links for rooting.

So here is what I did to unlock my BL root and CWM.

Follow this link and even if you're on Gingerbread you should follow these steps fromstep 1
*Don't forget to download the sbf.unlock file which you will use with RSd to flash.

If you get this ******ed error screen on your phone before step 13 then read this and you will be good

that should be able to take care of your Bootloader and any weird error screens you might get.Now that your BL is unlocked you can go ahead with root.

If the whole rooting thing still confuses you this other link and video might help out alot so read up

Now you have to install the new CWM so here is a link to download it and read also the steps to install it.

Still confused here is a video also that might help out.

All the credit goes to the people who wrote all these threads and posted all of the videos all I have done is try to compile everything together to help others out like myself who were confused with all the stuff scattered on the forums.

Remember try this at your own risk I am not responsible for anyone bricking their **** follow the instructions and you should be ok.If you dont know what some terms mean then don't even do it read up and learn alittle first before trying anything on your device.
 
Trying to unlock, getting "OEM unlock not implemented" any suggestions:confused:...
 
I dont know really what to say I got that but once I tried it twice it worked.make sure the code is correct....try XDA they have alot info there

Edit:Make sure you flash the unlock sbf on brief mobile.
