How to remove device unlocked screen (before logo splash)

After unlocking Z2 Plus bootloader, started to showing up on boot before logo splash:
"Your device has been unlocker and can't be trusted
To learn more, visit:
g.com/placeholder
If no key pressed:
You device will boot in 5 seconds"
Anyone knows how can I get rid of this message?
Already tried to flash factory splash.img with no success!
Thanks in advance!

there is no way you can get rid of this warning because i think it's deeply written in the kernel or your phone

I remember removing that screen on my old Moto G by flashing a custom boot image, I don't know if it's possible with this device as well, gotta do some research I guess.

I locked my bootloader again, but it is still there. Not sure if it really can be removed.

ruhanboom said:
Well then you still have a unlocked bootloader how did you lock your bootloader anyway?

You are right mate...
I checked it this morning by connecting it to the PC and see there the state was still unlocked. Now I have locked it again to get the latest update.
Thanks

Anyone checked if there is /logo partition? That way it was possible to "hide" this message on Moto X Play (and probably other Lenovo-Motorola devices).

device has loaded a different operating system

I had a rooted (magisk) X4 (google_fi) with twrp 3.2.1. I removed root and reflashed the stock rom (OPW27.1) and relocked the bootloader.
Everything works fine even the OTA updates (I OTA'd back up to OPWS27.1.3, but there is an annoying yellow startup screen that displays "My device has loaded a different operating system." From what I read it's because the ROM isn't digitally signed? Is that correct?
Any way to remove this screen on startup?
**FYI this is not the unlocked bootloader screen this is something else.
Thanks.

Ok so google pay won't work. It says I have an unlocked bootloader and/or custom software. I have a stock rom, recovery, bootloader, and the bootloader is locked. Shouldn't it work? I never had this problem after flashing stock and relocking my old Moto X Pure.

I am not able to help with removing the boot message you're seeing, but is that copy of the stock rom you flashed still available and is it for Android One/Fi?

Yes and yes.

did you managed to remove the message? I'm having the same problem

My theory:
You've flashed an original signed stock rom, but that stock rom signature is not the same of the bootloader.

How to solve this?

so are we all mad? I've googled for hours, it seems to be you need a factory image of our phones to correct this problem.

figured it out, you need to supply your own keystore to remove the message in fastboot
https://youtu.be/OfWFmhucWlg?t=15m33s

how do you match rom to the correct bootloader? I've installed the 8.0.0 rom I get the same boot error as stated above. I'm trying to get everything back to stock to get the 8.1 update

we would need a factory image, that Motorola never will provide..

if it was a real factory image it would contain a developer keystore in the image, and people wouldn't get the yellow bootloader warning message..
Like I get from all these images posted on this Forum.
If the Keystore doesn't match your original phones Hardware Keystore, it uses the Image's keystore instead. A factory Image, has no keystore or sometimes a universal keystore, and you won't get the mentioned error.
I obtained all this information just watching a Android Developer talk about Verified Booting, but it never goes into detail how to remedy this issue. So unless I spend hours and hours learning how to re-compile an image from source, or figure out where my keystore is located, I'll be stuck with this message.
Because each manufacturer is different, they don't always follow the same Practices.

Hi, is there anyone who fix it finally? I have exactly the same problem. After update on Pie, the message "verity mode is set to disable" is displayed while booting. I'm desperate, I really don't know how to fix it. I tried almost everything

You can't just ignore it? It does not affect functionality.

I think it does, Google Pay cannot add my debet card cause it says "Your device is rooted or customized".

STILL cant get rid of N/A or bad key message!!! grrr

Hello Forum, this phone is really getting to me now.
I just want to return the phone to complete stock, box fresh with no messages about boot loader etc
as I may return the phone for another one
but in all my 11 years on xda, I have never had a problem like this phone.....
Bloody boot-loader messages, re-locking bootloader, returning to stock, firmware files...
I cant whatever i try, get rid of the N/A (if i use TWRP to install magisk) or BAD KEY if I dont use TWRP
My Phone details are as follows
its a xt1922-2 UK Generic Phone, it has had the OTA update (the June 2018 one), its a Moto G6 play JETER
Build Number is OPP 27.91.87
It doesnt matter whatever firmware I download, whether the flashing gives errors or not in FASTBOOT
I cant get rid of the error message n/a or bad key!!!
whenever I try to lock bootloader, by fastboot oem lock..... it say run the command again, I run the fastboot code again, and it gives a error, something similar to please flash a valid android image, I CAN relock it by using : fastboot flashing lock ........... but still the bootloader error is there!!! HELP!!!!

OK so I assume you have a pretty descent idea of what your doing but just to be sure... Your bootloader is unlocked when trying to flash stock via vast opt right? If it's not unlocked you can't modify system. Your using the Jeter firmware not aljeter right?
Can you grab screen shots of the errors to see if maybe there's something we see that you didn't that might be relevant.
Also stick to one thread per issue. That way we know what others ha e suggested, exactly what you have done, the outcome, etc.

Right, Lets begin....
Originally i followed a guide to root my g6 play,that was by booting a patched twrp, and dm verity and another file beginning with Q, then flash the twrp........... all that was working except dm verity which gave a error (cant remember which one)
i have tried a different number of firmwares (motorola themselves said try jeter and alijeter - as some alijeter firmware are for my model xt1922-2)
now there was a OTA, as far as I can remember, there was 2 ota updates, they went smoothly, but still the BAD KEY message (brought on by the patched dm verity file i think)
after doing this ota, the oem unlocking button was no longer greyed out, so i tried fastboot oem lock but it gives errors about bootloader bad key and more, or invalid android image
whatever happens, i cannot relock the bootloader to remove the message, i cant flash any firmware for my model without one or two errors.......
the only thing that works, to show the bootloader is locked, is fastboot flashing_lock (as my bootloader screen shows flashing_unlocked) this shows, by doing fastboot getvar all and all that, that the bootloader is relocked....but I still have bad key error, and then have to oem unlock again to do anything.....help

Again is your bootloader unlocked when flashing stock?

Ok so let's put this out there first. I am helping you for free because I generally enjoy being a helping hand! I asked for screenshots, which we still have not gotten. I asked if bootloader was unlocked still to be sure, because I wasn't sure if you had tried to relock it. I think you did try to relock based on your post, but I had to ask twice to get that information out of you. If you truly want help, help those who want to help you help yourself.
That said, I asked for screenshots because I have never heard of a "bad key" error. The way I understood it you were seeing this error in TWRP. After a quick google search I found this image:
https://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/attachments/lnv/230/6043/1/IMG-20170528-WA0015.jpg
I assume this is the same error you see? If so, you can actually ignore it. If you don't want to ignore it, you can try going to bootloader and type this: fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Also, you can try to see if there is a modified logo.bin for your device and flash it. You could try the G6+ logo.bin possibly:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/themes/bootlogo-remove-message-unlocked-t3789155
PS: I found this info with a quick google search, so I assume you didn't even bother to search?

Yes, I always search several times, and read other forums to see if error is posted elsewhere.
Its hard to take a screenshot when the phone is in bootloader mode.
the screen is totally black. it shows just in the top left hand corner with the words 'bad key' and if I installed magisk (I dont install twrp, I just boot into it), I get the message 'N/A', the bad key is caused by errors when flashing the stock firmware, for some reason, thats why I cant remove the message, or relock the bootloader.
The bootloader unlocked messages that you linked to, are completely different looking than mine.
One thing confuses me, when you boot into bootloader, it says JETER, as the model name, but no JETER firmware flashes properly, my phone is a xt1922-2 which for some reason posted everywhere as ALIJETER........ god, this phone is a pain in the arse!

I am having the same issue as you, i am trying so much that i forget about doing root and just want to lock my bootloader again ;-;

The XT1922-2 is an annoying little ****.

I agree it's a pain in the arse! Can't get past it at all! If I had the knowledge to work on the kernel and bootloader i'd make a custom bootloader that atleast said lenovo sucks instead.
All other moto G6 variants will haev the error that the other guy linked to, same as my Moto g5, G, E, and X did.
My E3 is worse as that has a Mediatek CPU lmao

You can't get rid of it. You likely cannot relock bootloader. Warranty is void just by requesting unlock code. @biggary same

Relocking bootloader after stock image says device loaded different OS

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?

problem with booting my x4

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.
