Updating OTA after unlocking bootloader - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all, I was running gingerbread then I decided i'd downgrade so I flashed froyo, bricked, then fixed the soft brick. Now im running stock froyo on my bell atrix. I want to upgrade to gingerbread again, if my bootloader is unlocked on gingerbread is it safe to update ota still?
thanks

Other than the fact that your phone will explode, everything will work out
Seriously though, there's no reason to get anxious. Everything will be okay.

[Q] how to upgrade official froyo from custom ROM?

I am using Nero V3 currently. I disabled voodoo and lagfix before moving into official froyo from t-mobile.
1. is there anything else to do before updating to the official froyo?
2. is there a different way that i must follow when updating ROM to official version from custom ROM?
3. if i update to official froyo, would this relock the device so i have to reunlock it?

worked great for me
I played with this yesterday (official 2.2) Going from MacnutR14. Samsung Kies mini wouldnt acknowledge my phone unless I was running stock Ji6.
Test it out. I had ji6 handy from when the OTA update didnt take.

[Q] How to Install Custom Gingerbread rom on stock bell 0.37.4 firmware

I have an unlocked, unrooted, carrier unlocked Bell atrix. The phone is running the stock froyo 2.2.1, 0.37.4.MB860 firmware. I want to install a gingerbread based rom like homebase or darkside rom's. Can I just unlock the bootloader, root the phone, install romracers CWM then flash the custom rom? Or do I have to worry about GB boot loaders, incompatibly issues etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
It will be very appreciated to have a answer about that.

Don't do this before someone else says it's okay, because I'm not totally sure, but you should be able to SBF flash your device back to original everything.
Thank you. In fact I don't want to use any more other SBF file, but just get my stock directly from Motorola Software Update!!
I hope I'm not too late.
DO NOT DOWNGRADE!!
You'll get yourself a hard brick. Seriously, it's stickied all over the forum.
You cannot use SBF, you cannot use Motorola Software Updater.
I repeat, YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE FROM 4.5.91 YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
Do as you please, but you have been warned.
So no way to get back? So bad...
Can I at least flash back with Recovery to a retail Froyo 2.2?
Am I no more allowed to official stock, or in future I'll be able to get get Motorola's official update?

By stock I thought you meant the newest firmware stock! my bad. Yes, DO NOT SBF DOWNGRADE. You WILL brick.
Use fruitcake if you want froyo but I have no clue if theres a fruitcake france release. You may be SOL here.

read post 2 by shaydar.. maybe this could help, just try download the newer sbf (2.3.4) then desbf it..
do not use froyo, that the best method i know for now
Thank you everybody for your cautions!!!
I didn't get back to stock 2.2. I installed this pretty CM7 and I'm quiet satisfied.
But I want to know: with my atrix unlocked with RDSLite + CM7 installed, am I allowed one day to get official 2.3 or Ice Cream with Motorola Updater Software when Motorola will make it happens!??

Stock means your phone is untouched, as it came from the manufacturer/provider.
OTA refers to the "Over The Air" updates which come from the manufacturer or provider. They are actually one and the same thing. You will receive a notification when an OTA update is available for your stock phone. You then download the update, and install it. Your phone is still stock, but running the latest version of the operating system.
