vstar.....tried like three times before my root CWM finally flashed but this is the only thing I can think of that I did different and I left this step out...my bad
I started from the beginning which is to re-install fast boot which takes everything back to stock 4.1.1 with fast boot weather your JB or ICS. If you're ATT MB88six(my six key is broke).
Download whatever xml fastboot file fits your phone. Extract that file to the fast boot folder right click and open as a notepad document...it will look like this. Delete the two lines "Getvar" files that I've highlighted, don't leave spaces, re-align everything back up after deleting the line, and then save as what ever name you want .xml. Then use this "New" .xml as your foundation for fastboot and CWM recovery not the original you downloaded in step 1 of install stock fastboot.

Hope this helps man....I've been using ROMS with G2 and G3 for years....I broke my G3 and a buddy gave this Atrix that performs great with the OSE ROM. Way quicker, battery last, smooth as silk for me, no glitches. Out of all the ROMS I've Downloaded for my Atrix this is the only one that has been pure and glitch free. Rooting newer phones is much easier than this...I'll try to help you the best I can, but I'm rather new when it comes to the Atrix root myself. Good luck.
