I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE CAUSED BY THE INFORMATION POSTED HERE. THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL.
First of all , i know there is a thread about removing the Unlocked bootloader logo. This thread is started just to present some information based on my personal experience.
I owe a Motorola Razr I with unlocked bootloader :laugh:.......
A couple of weeks ago i decided to come back to ICS from the JB fastboot i was using(orange UK). Instead of using fastboot files made by mattlgroff I decided to fully flash the original ICS firmware for my phone using RSDlite. After the firmware was flashed i pushed the signed logo to the device.Of course the phone didn't finish booting and got stuck in bootloop. My phone became then a brick with a black screen and green led and i had to use the files from here to unbrick my phone. Big thanks to U1138 for finding the solution for unbricking.
When my phone phone finally booted i was so excited i didn't realize the ugly Bootloader unlocked logo is gone. I realized that yesterday while restarting the device and thought it's good to share it with everyone else and maybe will find a way for everyone to get rid of the ugly message on the boot screen.

So you suggest going back to ICS, bricking your device, unbricking it and flashing JB again in order to get rid of the bootloader logo?

I'm not suggesting anything. Only if you know what you are doing you can try it and even then take extra caution. It might be just a particular case.

here's a short video to proof the unlocked bootloader message is gone
I am not a hundred perent sure of that, but I think this worked on your device because you unlocked your bootloader while on ICS then, upgraded to JB using matt's fastboot.
For someone who upgraded to JB using the OTA and only then unlocked their bootloader, this won't work because the motoboot file version is already the highest (homemade fastboot does not flash motoboot, that's why you were able to flash after a downgrade)

my logo returned to normal after restoring Pi-llama rom through cwm.
Could you be a bit more precise?
What do you mean with normal, no unlocked bootloader message left?
And what do you mean with restored?

Yes, its for unlocking the bootloaders for the Snapdragon Motorolas (Atrix HD, RAZR HD and RAZR M) but after unlocking their bootloaders the same message appears (the same that we have), @tucstwo has provided a file to remove the unlocked message for these phones, I don't know if that zip could be compatible with the RAZR i, but giving the fact that the zip file removes the unlocked message for these phones ALREADY RUNNING JELLY BEAN, maybe someone can give a try and see what happens...
Link of the zip file is on the 2nd post.

LOL try some king of custom upgrade we known that we have some chance of brick our phone and we get this risk like a bet with more chance to win, but intencionally brick the phone that cost here in brazil more than $500 we have to be a great crazy.

I'm unlocked and would like to take my phone in for service, but would first like to remove the word "unlocked" from the bootscreen (the word displays on the boot screen upon boot - prior to the glowing Motorola logo. Is there a way for me to do so? I am have the following configuration...
Carrier: Bell Mobility
system version:
45.0.7.MB860.Organg.en.FR
Android version:
2.3.4
Baseband version:

thank you in advance for any direction or advise given.

Sorry just realized I posted this in the wrong section - please move to questions. sorry again.
Flashing back to a previous build gets rid of it, but I don't know how safe you will be doing that.
Obviously it wasn't an issue to flash back before GB.

Don't think he was indicating a way to remove "unlocked", rather to revert back to previos build. That is the way to get rid of the unlocked.
If you haven't done 4.5.91 ota update, flash full sbf 1.8.3 can remove the unlock. If already ota update, flash full sbf of 4.5.91
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Just in case that doesn't work for you, what i did was this:
1. Flash fruitcake of 1.8.3 (still had unlocked)
2. go here to get the Automated Update
3. Install and update! =]
That should do the trick. After i did this, i had to flash pudding to get back my unlock, but it's nice to know that there is at least SOME way we can relock our devices =D
....but then again, that's ONLY if the thing above didn't work for you (though i feel this is the safest, so whatever you wanna do is your choice =])

Guys, i think what he's asking is how to just get rid of the word...Not the unlocked bl itself, just the word...And as far as i know, there's no possible way.
I am using ATRIX outside of states so taking it to service is a no issue to me.
But I'd still like to remove the word Unlocked mainly because I don't like how it looks
If there's an easy way without flashing back - please let me know thanks.

I unlocked my 1.83 bootloader using the auto unlock script. I then loaded the original 1.26 sbf (yes the original no pudding) and then I OTA to 1.57 once I didn't this unlock word went away but keep in mind this did not get rid of unlocked bl it seemed to only have hid it.

Lets be clear.............you CANNOT relock your device. When you unlock the bootloader a fuse is burned out. This is a hardware unlock not a software unlock. All you can do after unlocking is remove the "unlocked" from your boot screen, but your phone REMAINS unlocked!
Once unlocked................always unlocked!

Read my previous post.
If you have a BELL Phone you can SBF to French 2.2.2 then use NFhimself Scripts to get to Bell 2.2.2 and it wont say unlock. At least you will be stock. If you have any doubts I have done this from an Unlocked 2.3.4 Bell GB.
Secondly if you use a Bell 2.3.4 gb with Bell_IHOP and no boot.img when the phone reboots it rewrites the Bell BL and seems to remove the unlock text and effectively removes Bell_IHOP. So no ram issues just straight Bell GB.
Another way you can get back to stock is to use NFHimself's Gobstopper.
Ok so i returned my phone a few days ago and i also had my phone unlocked and had ninja 4.5 rom.
So what i did to remove the unlocked text and change everything back to stock to return was to flash 1.8.3 sbf in rsd lite, now if your on 2.3.4 ota you will hard brick if your on a custom rom you might not ( i didn't).
If your on 2.3.4 ota you should flash the ota 2.3.4 sbf(look in forums)
If your below 2.3.4, flash one version higher, for example if your on 1.8.3 flash 2.3.4 sbf.
I have not tried fruit cakes so that may be also another method.
I am not responsible if your device hard-bricks , kills your dog, eats your tacos, or rapes your mom.
Im on At&t network also.
Fruit cakes do not remove the "Unlocked" text, tested it myself.
p.s. I will not try SBF-ing to 1.8.3 until someone has a gun pointed to my head. For most people it's an almost certain brick which I don't want to risk just to have "Unlocked" removed.
p.s.2. Has anyone tried flashing 2.3.4 sbf? Does it remove the "Unlocked" text? Thanks!

Nope, you're pretty screwed. When unlocking the bootloader, the phone tells you that your warranty is now void.
The nexus S has a oem bootloader unlock. In other words, samsung will not hold the fact that bootloader is unlocked against you. You do need to get rid of miui and get back to stock. There is a thread showing how to do this and provides the files you need. I'll see if I can find it for you.

I said that because I was screwed over by Samsung.

no issues from samsung regarding voided warranty. Perhaps you had sent it in with the bootloader unlocked?
Just use rom managers stock 2.3.3 and flash it... then lock bootloader by the instructions provided a post up

Now that's out of the way, read the stickys, although you seem to have new F.W so it might be rootable using the existing methods or you may need to wait until someone figures out how to root it. Bootloader unlocking is the same regardless of firmware.

I have (nearly) the same phone, also on 3 (rant to follow!). In short, your bootloader cannot be unlocked without paying someone to do it for you (around £15). You can still use custom roms (via CWM recovery) without an unlocked bootloader, so IMHO not really worth it. I was waiting for a former member of XDA to unlock my phone for around a week (we weren't free at the same times, etc) and in the end didn't bother.
There may be other ways, but personally I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683189, but for ease of use, the toolkit from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038. Bascially, you need to flash the 4.0.3 kernel using flashtool, use DooMLoRD's kit to root the device, then flash the 4.0.4 kernel back again. After that, you can get CWM recovery from the market, and use that with any rom suitable for locked bootloaders.
BTW, 3 are absolutely the WORST network in the UK, just got off the phone arguing with them about them cutting all 2G services (i now realise why my reception has been so bad for the past 6 months!) while also raising the price of my packages, all without warning.

I have 3 also in Sweden, but Alejanrissimo (a guy in the forum) unlocked the bootloader for me remotely and now it is very good. I can flash ROM, kernel, get easy root etc.
I payed 19 US dollars over PayPal and after 10 minutes (with some paper clip operation stuff) my phone was unlocked, even the SIM was unlocked too. :good:
I can still use PCC and SEUS and the TrackID is also still there.
So I did the root keeper wrong and updated, losing root. Anyone else in this club with me? It's only been a few hours and I already miss it.
Atleast I have better pictures though....

How did you ujse RSD lite to reflash the firmware since you got the updated OTA, it wont let you downgrade

Me too. My wifi is FUBARED in recovery. It's because we don't have the new kernel and to be technical were using the old system/recovery in our "recovery mode" I think that's why it's working in the regular mode and not recovery mode..... Or that's what I understand. Though I'm probably wrong.
When I upgraded I got a failed upgrade after final boot. Although it still says the newest version. I'm tempted to RSD back like some others have just to try but I don't want a paper weight.

While I'm kind of excited to see SafeStrap out, and updated (fixes phone/data, etc...), I'm still hoping some attempt is in the works for unlock on at&t.
Regardless, there aren't any custom roms to really flash anyways.
Had I an unlocked bootloader, I'd have a custom kernel in the works, and maybe some custom roms with some TeamAcid love.

Your friend is wrong. You don't need locked bootloader to get OTA.
To get OTA update, you need stock rom and stock recovery, locked or unlocked doesn't matter.
You can also flash the factory stock image without wiping your data (see link in my signature).
If you have root you can use this app to lock and unlock your bootloader: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker

If you have root you can use this app to lock and unlock your bootloader: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker

I guess something is up with your phone physical memory, but it doesn't matter, it really should not affect your warrenty (but the custom rom and recoveries will). Makes zero different to OTA updates either.

Honestly, I don't think they care if you have root either, but that's base on other user feedbacks. It seems LG warrenty is picky about other things and not very good from the feedbacks from what I read actually, but I haven't had first hand experience. But people have sent in rooted devices for repair.
I think just have factory image and stock recovery and stock kernel.
Solution !
