I need to reflash my atrix with a bell flash so i can send it away to get the sceen fixed on waranty. The screen is nit responsive to touch and the only way to get it fixed is this i think. Unless someone else has an idea.
 
If you unlocked the bootloader to flash a custom ROM, you are hosed.

Motorola uses a eFuse on the main board. When you unlock the bootloader, that eFuse blows, and you can never load an official stock ROM back on there.
Not to mention, it voided your warranty.

Sorry.
 
Check this thread out on AtrixForums.com. I believe this may be a similar situation. In any case this individual's phone was fixed by Bell, to the best of my knowledge. The warranty it voided would be the manufacturer's 12 month warranty. I would say to flash a custom rom that will revert it back to be like 'stock' (and that get's rid of the unlocked on the startup screen), also unroot your phone. Sure the fuse is gone, but that may not matter for a hardware issue. After all the worst that can happen is Bell says "No".
