Hello, this is my first time undertaking the marvelous adventure of ROMs and phone tinkering, so I'm new here.
I have an Atrix 4G with Bell. Running 2.3.6
First I rooted the phone
Then downloaded CWM -> made the recovery (5.0.2.0) (went smoothly, no problems giving the program root access to do this)
I then unlocked the bootloader following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
I am currently on the last step of the "Proper Recover"
The unlocking was a little tedius (ran into some hangups) but went smoothly and everything is working with my phone still.
Problem is I can't seem to access /systems/etc though Astro or ES File Explorer. Android Commander isn't detecting my phone, either.
I've tried using su in a terminal on my phone and got "Permission Denied".
So it sounds to me like I can't get root access anymore (my best guess), something must have changed when I unlocked the bootloader maybe?
If this is the case, do I just go ahead and redo the rooting process?
FWIW I can't boot into android recovery either. I get the android with the exclamation screen, but I can't get a menu up or anything. I've tried opening it using the POWER button instead of volume up, I've tried pressing the power button at that screen to bring up a menu, I've tried tapping the bottom right corner, left corner, general region, etc.
Many thanks.

DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS PART: After the install of RomRacers recovery boot up your phone. Open up your favourite file browser (I used Astro file manager to do this ) and navigate to /system/etc/ and delete the file called 'install-recovery.sh'
