So lets say I go ahead and Unlock my bootloader on Rooted Bell Atrix at OTA 2.3.4 with this (pudding method):

[PUDDING] International House of Pudding! BL Unlock/root thread (Updated 07/23/2011) - xda-developers

What will be the state of the phone after unlocking? Assuming I take out the sim card and ext SD card, will the phone still b at 2.3.4 minus apps and data after unlocking?

Will restoring Titanium Backups and Mybackup Root files bring the phone back to where it was, apps and data wise as well as settings for internet and email?

On the same track.....
with my newly bootloader unlocked phone, if I write a new rom, can I get apps, data and phone settings reinstated to the new rom by the same backup restore method listed above?

TIA

 

One would think enquiring minds would want to know!

 

Thanks h33t, pretty much the info I was looking for. I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet as I let myself get talked into the ridiculously priced PEP program at Futureshop (something I normally don't fall for) which puts me in the nofun, no play category for now. I'm locked into $13.00 a month for 3 years with the SOBs. I will have paid $528 to warranty a phone which is now selling for $400.00. If I unlock, I will apparently void the warranty and PEP will be out the window, unless I find out there is a 2.3.4 version for Bell that can be written to the phone that locks it again or at least takes away the "Unlocked" message on boot up.

I would warn anyone who is listening, be wary of Futureshop and the highpressure sales tactics for this utterly ridiculous program.
