same here
Mine just says unlocked I have custom ROM as well
Mine just says Unlocked (status 3), but not Modified. I haven't installed a custom recovery yet, but I am rooted.
This message pops up if the software is rooted or changed somehow with the bootloader being locked. My guess is that since Motorola does a firmware flash hardware-wise, with the bootloader being locked, it triggers this message. If you unlock the bootloader, it goes away.

I restored to stock over the weekend and everything seemed good. I don't want to mess with custom ROMs anymore for the moment so I wanted to relock the bootloader.
I went into the bootloader and ran a fastboot oem lock begin then flash all of the factory image parts again. I then ran fastboot oem lock and got a "locked!" message on my device. When I rebooted into the bootloader again I saw that my device was now locked, but still showed "Software status: Modified". Is that normal after flashing a factory image? I would have expected that it would have reverted to "official" or whatever the default is.
The other part of the issue is that I'm not sure if my bootloader actually re-locked. When I reboot I still see the "Warning bootloader unlocked" message. Also, I was still able to flash the factory image again even though the status showed "locked." Are you supposed to be able to flash the factory images with a locked bootloader? And is the warning message supposed to show after a re-lock?
Locking the bootloader just means you can only flash firmware for your model and carrier, if you try to flash the firmware of a different model or carrier it won't let you because it is relocked.
And just so you are aware, your status is not "locked" it is "relocked". There is no way to have the "locked" status again.
As far as it saying modified, did you flash the firmware for your model and your carrier? Or a different one? It had to be the original firmware that came on the phone or it will say modified.

Good to know you should be able to flash stock firmware with a locked bootloader.
Well the bootloader shows "Locked" not "Relocked." I'm simply telling you what it displays. Is it normal to still have the "unlocked bootloader" warning on boot?
It's a Pure edition and I did flash the Pure firmware, but it still says Modified. That said, the phone came with 4.4.4 and I flashed the updated 5.1, could that be it?
I received warranty replacement phone from Motorola because my original one have some issues with screen and earpiece. Now I need to send my defective phone back to Motorola and I decided that it would be safer if I relock my bootloader. So I did flash stock SU4TL-44 from TheSt33v thread and did "fastboot oem lock". Bootloader status shows "LOCKED" and status code 2 but there is still this unlocked bootloader warning startup screen showed when phone powers up. Is there anything else that I could do to get rid of that screen (beside flashing fixed logo)? I know that I can't change status code and it will always show history of bootloader unlocking but I would like just to make it less obvious

I doubt that you will be able to flash much of anything now that the bootloader is re-locked. Luckily for you, I don't think Moto cares about the modification status.

I can flash logofixed.bin just fine with locked bootloader. So I guess it's all I can do and hope they really don't care about that if phone is not physically damaged. And my phone looks like brand new and actually better than refurbished replacement that I received (it has small scratch on the bezel).

Interesting. Good to know
The razrm did not require boot loader unlock for the logo as well.
Sent from my DROID Turbo using XDA-Developers mobile app
Just quick update. So I returned my phone with re-locked bootloader and flashed fixed logo with no problems. I was only charged $24 for advanced exchange and they didn't care about modified status I guess.
I just dusted off my Turbo after not using it in a while. Shortly after powering it on, I was prompted for and without thinking, installed the ota MM update. I had previously unlocked bootloader via sunshine long before this, but never rooted. Is my bl still unlocked / root still possible or am I screwed?
It's still unlocked, if it was unlocked prior to the update.
And congratulations for having the foresight to unlock back when you could.
So that's what I was hoping, however I guess Im not clear as to what I need to do next to load twrp and root. I assumed all I'd need to do is pick up the official guide at section 2 in using adb / flashboot to flash twrp.img, but in trying to do so, I get an error "(bootloader) Preflash validation failed". I also noticed at the recovery mode screen it says "Device is LOCKED". Doesnt that mean the bootloader is in fact locked or is that unrelated?
Thanks!

@jcase, @TheSt33v, what's going on with this guy's phone? If he unlocked via Sunshine, should still be unlocked.

There is no bootloader lock command in the OTA. Myself and tons of others took the OTA with an unlocked bootloader. If the bootloader is locked after the OTA, either it was never unlocked or someone gave it the lock command using fastboot.

Depends on status code, either is wasn't unlocked or someone relocked it.
A number of ppl used mofo and has assumed they were unlocked

Recovery does the normally safe if locked or not.
Go check the status code, if it is 0 then it was never unlocked with sunshine

I did unlock using Sunshine... At least I really thought I did. I installed it, paid for it and ran through what I thought was the unlock process a few months ago. I didnt load twrp or root, but I didnt think that was needed before upgrading.

Well ****. I'm not sure what I missed when I ran through Sunshine a while back. Thx for the info all.
I'm trying to go back to stock and lock bootloader but when I do I keep getting a screen on bootup that says "Your device has loaded a different OS" (when bootloader is unlocked this screen says it can't verify the operating system because it's unlocked, that's normal).
I bought my X4 from B&H Photo in January. It has the Android One logo on the back of the phone.
I've tried flashing the Retail rom and also the Fi rom, and after I lock, it still says that message.
These are the ones i've tried.
XT1900-1_PAYTON_FI_9.0_PPW29.69-26_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
PAYTON_RETAIL_9.0_PPW29.69-39-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
PAYTON_RETAIL_9.0_PPW29.69-26_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
I'm pretty sure when I bought my phone it had 8.1, I'm going to try the Fi 8.1 image now. XT1900-1_PAYTON_FI_8.1.0_OPWS28.46-21-14_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Once you unlock the bootloader, there is no going back. You can relock the bootloader but the warning will remain.
What he said, it's stated in the FAQs thread as well.
Any updates, OP?

Sounds like it's not possible. Also I sold the phone last week.
I don't mind the message as long as everything works specifically updates. Does anyone know if updates still work when you relock the bootloader?
i have bough a x4 from ebay without warranty or anyting, the problem that i have. my phone says at the begining your device has loaded another operating system and then just a line of code says verity mode is set to disabled.
but after that the device starts normally, i have tried to lock the device again, but it doesn't work , maybe you have a solution for this problem :the model is XT1900-1 Type:M2997
the bootloader has been unlocked and to be honest relocking has no real benefits. leave it like it is, flash the latest stock image or a custom rom and ignore the bootscreen message.

first, thank you for your response.
do you think, is that a motorola specific issue with corrupt bootloader ?
i guess the firmware of my device is a nougat, will it really help to get rid of a such blemish if i flash it??

The message is normal for an unlocked bootloader - it is not corrupt. You cannot get rid of the message when the bootloader has been unlocked, even if it is relocked. Well, you can replace the boot image, but the ”verity" message will remain.
