Root Rooting Bell Atrix - Best And Latest Method?

Hi,

I'd been reviewing the methods to re-root my Atrix (Bell, Toronto) after applying the [COLOR=#035c9f !important][FONT=inherit !important][COLOR=#035c9f !important][FONT=inherit !important]Gingerbread[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] update 2.3.4
Quite frankly, I was overwhelmed, not an android expert by any means, and not real confident about typing out
lines of script in a command prompt on a shaky vista pc, especially since last time I rooted on [COLOR=#035c9f !important][FONT=inherit !important][COLOR=#035c9f !important][FONT=inherit !important]Froyo[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] was so easy
with Gingerbreak v1.2. Anywaaaaay, came across this method tonight:

Pete's Motorola Root Tools

and saw a sidebar on one forum that said "reportedly works on Atrix too, but I haven't tried it."

For me it was roll the dice on a one click method, or tolerate Bell/[COLOR=#035c9f !important][FONT=inherit !important][COLOR=#035c9f !important][FONT=inherit !important]Moto[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] bloat, as I was afraid of xda/briefmobile methods...
long story short, I was re-rooted in 10 min, reinstalled root checker, check!, root explorer, and titanium backup, and am in
the process of freezing out bloat now.

I have successfully rooted and unlocked my bootloader this week. For the rooting process, the BriefMobile link above works prefectly on my Bell Atrix (on the 2.3.4 stock OTA Gingerbread update).
 
This method is now out of date for Atrix's already on 2.3.4

However If you have an Atrix with 2.2 then you can still use these methods
 
Hi, I just got an unlocked ATRIX 4G from bell, running android version 2.3.6 and build number 4.5.2A-51_OLL-17.8 and i'm wondering if someone can recommend me the best rooting method for this...

I've been to the XDA Forum, specifically the pudding thread and I'm quite confused. All I ever wanted is to put custom roms on my phone and not really overclock it.

Any ideas is appreciated, thanks!
