Why does the bootloader unlocked screen say "ID: bad key"? - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

I found that slightly worrying. What does it mean and is it something I should worry about. I just unlocked my bootloader with the guide from motorola on the android 7 soaktest.

Probably means the key you received from Motorola to unlock the bootloader was typed in incorrectly. Just a guess.

Hiding "device unlocked, can't be trusted" at boot

Hello, i obviously backed up TA and unlocked bootloader, but how do I get rid of the warning during boot without relocking ?
I don't need to be reminded that my personal device is unlocked, but it may help other people to mess with my device if they can clearly see the device is already unlocked.

How do i know if the bootloader is unlocked?

i just recently bought this phone off from a friend's family member , it had oreo beta 2 installed and i updated it to orea beta 3. ive seen posts that says if u have oreo beta it means u have the bootloader unlock. just wanna double confirm
If it's unlocked you'll get a message telling you so whenever you boot the phone.
If you updated it to the Oreo Beta 3 OTA then your bootloader is locked. OTA updates won't work otherwise

That's not exactly accurate.
An unlocked bootloader does not prevent an OTA. If you are rooted the OTA won't work.
An unlocked bootloader has nothing to do with it.
Also, I havent tested with this device but usually with other phones
fastboot oem device-info
Tells if the device is unlocked.
Otherwise you could try the command
fastboot flashing unlock
If the phone prompts you with a confirmation if you really want to unlock the bootloader, then I am guessing it isn't.
Just boot to the bootloader to check.
With the device of hold down the power and volume down together.
Also on a reboot if the screen says it's not secure then it also means it's unlocked

Impossible to unlock the bootloader

Hello
I sent my device for warranty because I have ghost touches. I received my phone and they brought it back without any change, I'm still facing ghost touches. BTW thats not the problem.
Previously I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my device, before to send the device for warranty I locked the bootloader again and sent it like it was new.
Now I'm trying to unlock the bootloader but it is impossible to do. When I try to get the fastboot oem unlock data, I put the code on the motorola website and the answer is "Your devices does not qualify for bootloader unlocking".
I tried too to put the old code that Motorola sent me to my email, I put the commands on adb window but also I get an error message "Code validation failure with status 7".
If someone have faced this issue would be great to know how to solve it.
Thanks.
