Now that we have root there must be an easy way to remove the unlocked bootloader warning. Anybody know?

Thank you.
I didn't care for the red one in your link, so I used the one from the Moto G, found here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/themes-apps/remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning-t3014947. I just extracted the bin, and fastboot flashed that one.
What?¿? Don't like the red one....?
Here are some others....

This is great, thanks. I also used the Moto G one. Now on the lookout for a nice solid black one. Much easier on the eyes when you reboot laying in bed haha.
Is this also the same way you can change the greeting?

Very nice. Love the stealies! One question. Can these be flashed via TWRP, or through fastboot? Also, it seems that through fastboot, they need to be *.bin, and the ones in the ZIPs are .img.

The bin file you seek should be with in the zip.... I've personally never tried to flash them thru twrp
When I flash that Logo, it makes a ribbon of like 10 of the logo real small across the mid of the screen

Yeah, that one did that to me too, before I swapped over to the Moto G splash.
Dark Version of Stock Boot Screen
Well, I decided that I just wanted the stock Boot Screen but with a black background,
so I made one.
the Bin File is zipped inside the attached zip (this is not a TWRP installable Zip)
Additional Dark Water option added
EDIT:==========================================
Removed the original files --- and these are not TWRP installable zips
-- the file inside installs with the command --
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
-- assuming your logo.bin is in the directory that includes fastboot.
Hi, I found out that the program I was using to create the Boot Screen, only had 3 screens updated,
you may have noticed that after flashing the BootLoader screen button info text moved to the center.
The new file below MotoXPureDarkFixed
has everything back the way the original worked, except for the backgrounds are now dark, and of course the warning message doesn't display
The MotoXPureJBlueIce one is the Darker Glassy pic below, it also themes the BootLoader screen to a darker blue.

That is true, but the source images from the 1st 2 came from the original "Remove unlocked bootloader warning"
thread... and shouldn't really be used, even though they kind of work.

If you are talking about the BootAnimation, that is a totally different file than
the bootloader screen.
If you want to change the bootAnimation.zip, there are many available on the xda website.
and now one posted in the moto x Pure thread
Thank you, the MotoXDarkPureFixed logo worked.
To let others know, this was on my Moto X Style XT1572.
Is there a way to make the bootloader unlocked screen black? I kinda like it just don't like it burning my retinas to kingdom come

No. I am talking about the splash screen... Completely different from a boot animation.
A splash screen is the first still image right before the boot animation when the phone starts up. The Nexus 4 has just a black background that says "Google".
That is what I want to change.
From the discussions I have seen no one has a solution for that yet. Sorry.
........Epic WHOMP!!
RMA, and request a new splash screen, with a fruit on it.....
I also want to change the splash screen and use my own. If there is a way , please tell us or post a link if you find any. Thankx
Same here. I want to add my contact-info to the splash-screen. I have done that before with my HTC Desire and Galaxy S2. It's really useful when you lose your phone and someone just turns it on.

I think its part of the boot loader, as it shows the locked and unlocked symbols, so maybe if you downloaded the image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and extracted the bootloader image you could modify that and flash it through fastboot?

You can't simply extract the Bootloader and edit it's files. You would have to open it up in a hex editor and find the offsets for the image. Then inject your own into that offset and pray that you got all the dimensions and formatting 100% correct or else when you flash it you will have a nice hard brick

The splash screen depends on the bootloader. It might be easier on another device, but the Nexus's bootloader was not designed in such a way that makes this easy. You would have to modify the bootloader, but it really isn't worth it because there is no room for error. One wrong character in the bootloader and you have a nice shiny brick.

Got it.
Indeed, not worth it.
Have to live w/Google splash, alas.
Dang! I did SO want to change it to "Goobers" or "Goofball" or somesuch.
That "Google" shown on when starting up the phone in my knowledge the bootloader.
There might way to change the image , but you would have to mess with the bootloader.
Messing with the bootloader is dangerous, and a corrupted bootloader most of the time leads to bricked phone( there are ways to recover but its best not let it come to this)
So its best to leave the "Google" thing alone; It's not that intrusive and quickly disappears.
Actually, all of you are wrong in two ways:
1) You can't flash a custom bootloader on Nexus 4, because due to its qfuse configuration (in bootloader it appears as "Secure Boot: Enabled") it would compromise the trusted bootchain and therefore lead to a bricked device.
2) The splash image is not STORED in the bootloader itself, i'm currently working to find out where it is stored, but unless google pushes out an update with an updated splash screen it is going to be difficult.
I found out that a copy of the charging animation(when the phone is turned off), which is displayed by the bootloader is stored in "/res/images/charger"
My current idea is to find the function that puts the animation there and see where it comes from.
On other devices like HTC and Motorola it is more easy as the splash screen is stored in a seperate partition.
(Oh, and the bootloader isn't just what you see when you boot into fastboot mode, it consists out of tz, sbl1, sbl2, sbl3, rpm and aboot.)
So anyone figured out or we cant change the splash screen?
Being the noob dummy that I am, I was not paying attention when I was clearing out my caches and happened to deleted -everything- from my phone, system included. There is nothing left on my phone except for Recovery. I managed to flash back to before I deleted everything (good thing on my part remembering to flash everything again).
However, I am still stuck with these white lines going across my screen. I have read the fix for this, but I am utterly lost in how to actually proceed. =(
I was hoping someone would help me out with this barney style.
Anything and everything is appreciated!
EDIT: I've gotten to where I go to the downloader on the phone, but I am having immense issues with ADB as far as flashing the updated kernel onto my phone as fastboot does not recognize my device, or sometimes ADB has multiples of my phone on the device list, which makes the program inoperable.
If you have white lines in system after screen off you must flash a patched jdi kernel. Search little kernel flasher for kernel patch

That little program is a damn life saver. Very convenient. Not sure how I missed that in the search function?
Anyway, thank you very much!
Please say if I've missed an old how-to guide specific to the Nexus 4! (A link would be helpful in that case
Is there an easy(ish) way of changing the boot logo? My phone is rooted so that's not an issue, and I have ADB, but I'm inexperienced with it so if the method requires that, please include a detailed guide so that laypeople like me can follow
Many thanks to anyone who can tell me anything here.

I have ROM Toolbox Pro already, and I've used it to change my boot animation (among other things), but I don't think it caters for the boot logo (what is displayed before the animation is loaded). Small difference .
It may have this option and I've just not found it yet, in which case, do you know where to find it? Otherwise, is there another app or method I can use?
Thanks a lot for your answer!

you can not change the boot logo on a nexus 4 unfortunately, its in the same partition as the bootloader and very easy to brick if you mess up. so, at this point, no one has made it possible for us to change it with an app.

Thanks! It's odd though, because stock Nexus Android comes with just a centered white Google logo as the boot logo, whereas my CM has that with a little grey unlocked padlock sign underneath... Maybe they edited it themselves, or it's an Android way of saying the phone is rooted/the bootloader unlocked.

the liitle grey unlocked padlock is visable on any nexus with an unlocked bootloader. on the n5, someone did develop a way to change the boot logo, but i dont think anyone has tried his method on the n4, as it not working could also brick the device. heres the n5 thread for changing the bootlogo, if you would like to test.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/tool-change-boot-logo-images-t2763698
So, since this phone is still very new no one has found a way to change the Google boot logo. (some call this the splash screen, I am not referring to the boot animation)
Word on the street is that the logo lies within the bootloader, so in theory someone should just be able to decompile the boot.img and replace it.
Any thoughts?
Back from the Galaxy Nexus days, (yeah, that long ago), Ezekeel created an app (found here) that lets you change the splash screen. Obviously, this won't work on the N6.
I only say this, because his app was the only way to change the boot logo on the Galaxy Nexus.
Never owned an N5, so I don't know if they managed to change the splash screen on it. I don't think it's easy on Nexus'. The MotoX has it easy because even non-rooted phones can change it.

You are probably thinking about the boot animation, which is an easily-edited zip file. I am talking about the "Google" text that first comes up.

The boot.img is the kernel and ramdisk, not the bootloader. Its the "boot" that the bootloader "loads".
Some of the older phones had a separate partition just for the splash screen, but I think common practice now is to include it in the bootloader.
since the first gen moto x you can change the splash screen logo by using fastboot, the has to be in a .bin format and size to are phone. the fastboot command is fastboot flash logo logo.bin
i tested this with the wrong size logo that i had from first gen moto x...so if someone can back up there google logo please that is much appericated. It is in the bootloader.img the logo.bin.
PLEASE DON"T TEST UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO BACK UP THE PARITION CAUSE AT THIS TIME I LOST ALL NEXUS ANDROID GUY IN BOOTLOADER.

Judging from my assessment of the startup logo files located in at&t's OEM partition, it should be fairly easy to customize it.
It also seems to use the same format as the Moto X.

Do you feel like trying one? I've figured out how Motorola does it, but don't have a device to test on. If you or anyone else wants to do it, the command would be:
Code:
fastboot flash logo [i]logo.bin[/i]
It will work unless they have locked down your Logo partition at /dev/block/mmcblk0p30, but I doubt they have.
Traditionally the file is named logo.bin, but XDA won't let you upload bin files, so I changed the extension to img. You don't have to change the name to flash it, just substitute logo.img for logo.bin
EDIT: Always make backups....there
Can you make this flashable through recovery?
It is the same as the moto x 2014. I DD one to mmcblk0p30 and it worked.
Tested with the one made by makers_mark

Thanks for doing that. It's the same format as the moto x 14 but the nexus 6 has 23 images in it! To see all of them see my post here.
Here is a stock one with no unlock icon.
Can someone point me in the direction where I can download the boot logos that will work on the nexus? I'm excited to change the Google logo
I made some new TWRP flashable logo.bins for the Qualcomm E4. They will not work for the MediaTek variant. @KevMetal tested them out below, and reported that they did not work on his XT1762.:crying:
The "N/A" is barely visible. Since we know where to look, it can be faintly seen, but for anyone else, it won't be noticeable.
Feel free to get creative and add to the collection.
Made one from the stock Moto logo. Just added white strips to the top, and bottom, to balance it out. "N/A" will not be visible.

I will be making some custom logos when I get time, I made a lot of them back when I had the Moto E 2nd gen

Why was this thread moved? To Q&A, nonetheless.
Just wanting to let you guys know, I'm on a vzwPerry XT1767 and if you connect via USB to adb and issue 'adb reboot bootloader,' you can then issue 'fastboot flash logo logo.bin' (assuming the 'logo.bin' file is whatever boot logo you want in your ADB directory) and as long as:
1- the file keeps the name, and
2- the image doesn't exceed the size of the original,
it will successfully flash a custom boot logo with a locked bootloader.
IDK if this is already known, but lately I've been doing anything and everything in my power to figure out a root method for this phone, and in doing so I stumbled across this forum and decided to give a custom logo a try. Js,for the record. How this helps\informs!

Btw, one more thing, just wanting to get someone to clarify here:
The reason it's possible (even with VZW's permalocked bootloader) - the 'logo.bin' doesn't invoke the TrustZone Kernel security from PBL to SBL1 - SBL3, then on into ABOOT because it isn't part of the 'flashing_critical' or 'preloader\bootloader' parameter\class of partitions ??

This worked great on my Moto G4. I reinstalled the stock firmware so I can sell it, but didn't like the N/A Warning about the device not being trusted. Now it boots cleanly without any silly warning.
The positioning of the N/A on the E4 makes it difficult to cover/hide in a satisfactory manner...unless you use a white background - then it's no problem. However, I prefer a dark/black background. I have not really been happy with any of the boot logos I've made. I think I have a somewhat decent solution, though. I have attached a black template for anyone that's interested. Simply add your own artistic creation and flash your new boot logo. The top is an off-white/gray that mostly hides the N/A, and quickly blends into the black background. For kicks, I've also included another flashable logo.

Can anyone make ones like these from the E2? I tried flashing one and it just shows a black screen with N/A still. Thanks!

I ended up figuring it out and making my own. I like the black, due to the brightness of the screen at night but the N/A still shows up on there since I didn't make a white strip at the top. Such a weird thing for Lenovorola to put in. Thanks for making these!

It's not weird, it's on purpose. So they know you unlocked it, since it voids your warranty.
