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?
Hi!
I recently relocked my bootloader, and I still get the bootloader unlocked warning. Is there any way I could stay locked and still remove the warning by flashing some logo.bin file?
Also, my software status in fastboot menu says "modified". I'm currently on latest stock version of Android on my XT 1092 as well as bootloader gave me no mismatch warning while flashing the firmware. Is there any way it could be changed back to official? Because it is indeed, official.
You can remove the warning. This thread will take care of you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/warning-message-unlocked-bootloader-t2871478
As for the software status, I don't believe there is a way to have it not show as modified.
After following the bootloader unlock instructions to the letter, the message unlock unsuccessful appeared. Now when I boot up the phone, the unlocked bootloader warning message appears, but I have not been able to get a custom recovery flashed, or achieve root. I tried restarting the unlock process over and it says bootloader is already unlocked. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Heloooooo?

I am sorry, your post is not very coherent. You state that unlocking bootloader failed... however you also state that it says it is unlocked...
Could you please tell us what it is that you want? Because your bootloader is already unlocked... you can't open a door that is already open.

My redmi 4x (santoni) have twrp installed and I it is running on miui pro rom. But it's bootloader locking automatically after enabling usb debugging and switching off the phone. I can't boot into recovery and system, can only boot into fastboot mode, and I have to use mi flash tool to unlock bootloader again.
If someone face this problem, is there any solution of this. Please reply.
Thank you.
Bootloader can only be locked on all available official MIUI ROM, it can not be locked on modified MIUI versions.
There is no way that it'll get locked by itself by turning on USB Debugging and switching off phone. to lock unlocked bootloader one has to clean flash from Mi flash tools and needs to select lock bootloader before flashing.
I don't know how are you able to unlock bootloader on Mi flash tools because to unlock it official way one will need Mi unlock tool with permission from xiaomi(depending on region)
First make sure you are not on fake MIUI if so then flash official one through mi flash tools and then unlock it by mi unlock tools.
Once it is unlocked as i said earlier there is no way that it will get locked itself unless you choose to lock via mi flash tools.
about unlocking again
sorry for mistake, I have to use mi unlock tool again with my mi account signed in to unlock the bootloader again. And can't unlock by fastboot command "fastboot oem unlock".

I still do not get it what exact issue you have and what version of MIUI you are on.
You are saying you are on MIUI Pro and that confirms bootloader is unlocked and now you are saying

Please share exact and more details if you wish to resolve your issue and possibly some screenshot(s) of about phone and errors if any.

I have a similar issue and came across this thread, usb debugging suddenly stopped working, it was working perfectly till yesterday. So when I went to developer options, I saw that the OEM unlocking option is clickable now ( it had remained grayed out ever since I unlocked the bootloader ). The Mi Unlock status option tells me that phone is locked. Toggling usb debugging is not making it work. When I restart the phone, I definitely see the unlocked padlock icon on the boot screen. So I am not sure what is going on. also, magisk is working fine.
In the screenshot you can see that it shows the device is locked. But from the status bar you can make out that exposed is working. I'll have to get another device though to get a picture of the padlock icon though.

Toggle OEM unlock enabled doesn´t mean that the device is unlocked, it only means that the bootloader can be unlocked, there is other item just lines after to check it; Mi Unlock status, enter to it and confirm it.
Also, you can confirm the bootloader status through fastboot with fastboot oem device-info

Yea as I mentioned, the mi unlock status tells me that phone is locked.
Just check via fastboot, and it shows that phone is unlocked.
So do I just believe fastboot, or wait a month and then try to again unlock the bootloader via the mi unlock tool?

You said "In the screenshot you can see that it shows the device is locked" but unfortunately the screenshot didn´t reveal that, I wonder, what exactly it says in the Mi Unlock status apart.
In older days, users share an aboot image, this served to unlock bootloader automatically without make the official process to unlock it, it could be that you flashed the official stock images, and it got re-locked. Anyway, we don´t know what happened with the fastboot command or with the Mi Unlock status section, so no respond to those points.
For the part you say to wait a certain time, definitely, no, the bootloader process is not monitored any more, for older devices, they can be unlocked instantly.

My phone is about a month old, so it does tell me to wait. Contradictory screenshots attached below. After the boot unlock, I did flash flash a magisk edited boot.img and vbmeta.img to disable it. If I remember correctly though it was fine after that.
