Corrupt message,

Hey guys, so I own a Nexus 6 (shamu) not a 6p, but just a curiosity question. I was told that the dm verity for the 6p was in the bootloader and not the kernel, it's built into the kernel on the shamu and the solution is just a custom kernel to remove the message, as for the 6p, is there a known way to remove those messages seeing as it is in the bootloader this time around? Nobody want's to corrupt a bootloader, or you're screwed! Lol

No.

Still no.

Thanks guys for your responses! Appreciate it! It was a super noob question, but like I said, I own a shamu and it's different. Thanks!

dm verity is part of the kernel. it can be seen in the linux tree. the bootloader just has a message about being unlocked. i was able to disable dm verity in AOSP when compiling android, without modifying the kernel. just a command in the fstab tells it to verify. the message in the boot loader is just to make sure you know it is unlocked.

So a simple command can disable verity messages in this case? The others in the thread here were saying it's pretty much impossible.

No. A simple command does not disable verity, but modifying boot does. The messages that you get about "possibly corrupt" are from the boot loader. If relocked, then it would go away.

It lamens terms it is saying "Hey i'm vulnerable! Read what you do before you flash that Galaxy S9 Rom on me!"
I honestly don't mind the message, and its only on screen for 3 seconds...I don't get the big deal.
And you can't compare phones....the Nexus 6 and Nexus 6P....are different phones....they use different everything and google is movong towards a more secure android experience so expect a plethora of corrupt this and broken that messages. Haha
I actually borked my friends Nexus 6 for a good 5 minutes a few months back because I didnt know you had to flash a modified boot and all we did was root it! But lesson learned and not one problem since!
But the message won't go away, it's to tell the next person you sell it to you did stuff to it. That's what she said.

Yea, not so much comparing the phones, just using the Nexus 6 as an example. Yea the 6p is definitely different from the older Nexus models, and I remember someone saying something about an efuse thing you can trip and can't reverse, much like Samsung phones. How does this work? Is it like Samsung where it will always say it's been tampered with forever?

I guess I am very confused at why you're asking this...are you truing to figure out if the message means its corrupt? Because it more than likely isn't...it is just warning of possoble corruption you can has.
And you do lnow fuses can't be fixed once they're blown...you should have answered your own question haha

Yea, the messages i know are just to let you know, the fuse is what i was wondering about. Kind of how the older Galaxy phones, the flash counter was able to be reset with the triangle away app and root, the nexus 6p is permanent? Yea, some noob questions, but it's because I own a shamu and never had to worry about any of this new stuff lol

No, the Nexus 6P is not permanent unlock. You can easily relock. There is no "unlock counter" or a "flash counter". I have mine unlocked the fuse I have read about elsewhere is still NOT blown. If you do call up google for support and you are unlocked, rooted, and/or custom ROM, then their first trouble shooting will be to download and flash the factory images. If the flashing of factory images does not fix your problem, then they will step up from there. Like replacing the phone. Unlike Samsung.

Cool! So the Qfuse isn't even blown by installing custom files and unlocking the bootloader? I've read other places that people said you can never relock your bootloader, glad that's not true!

I just used "fastboot flashing unlock", but I think if you use "unlock_critical" it might blow. I am not going to do this.
The "unlock_critical" allows you to flash a custom bootloader and radio. This may help if you want to flash a bootloader without the corrupt message, but it is only visible for a few seconds in booting. Flashing a custom bootloader is very risky. Not worth it for me. Bad bootloader flash or bad bootloader code and no fastboot after, thus no flashing stock bootloader.
Most will only need "unlock" to flash vendor, system, boot, and recovery.

So on the 6p, you need unlock_critical to flash the radio? Doesn't every factory image come with a new radio file? So you may have to blow the qfuse if you want the newest bootloader and radio file?

Lock BootLoader after Rooting?

Thanks for taking time to read my query.
I was wondering if I've to lock boot-loader after rooting ( I just rooted my Oero)
and before looking can I take everything backup on titanium backup and then restore everything after locking ?
I'm I still be rooted?
Regards

Unless you are on the totally stock system then I wouldn't lock your bootloader.

Technically i believe you could and would still be rooted, but I've always seen it advised NOT to lock your bootloader again until you are on 100% stock (right now your boot.img isn't stock since it's patched for root).

So you mean I would not be able to re-lock bootloader even if I had installed Nougat, isn't it?
thats because we are using tampered boot.img. Is it possible in-future we can use original boot.img ?

If you relock your bootloader with anything other than a factory image you will brick your device.

If you modify your device, bottom line, you should leave it unlocked so you can fix things or go back to stock if needed, otherwise you could turn it into a paper weight. Even if root is done without modifying the boot.img, I would still keep it unlocked as there are usually still system changes.

MOD EDIT
It's worth noting that the Essential PH-1 uses an A/B partition system so any advice given here would not be helpful in the slightest for devices that don't have the same file system. Quickly doing a search of your phone reveals it's not an A/B partitioned system so following advice here could potentially lead to you actually destroying your phone.

could you lock the BL once rooted if in fastboot mode it lists device tampering = false?

Well hello good sir or mam!
I seem to be in quite the pickle, but i hope you can help
You see, i just bought this phone on amazon and will be arriving in two days. I read the review and the hardware is amazing but the software makes you want to question why haven't murdered a tub of puppies.
The cute kind. :angel:
Well I want to put Lineage OS 15.1 on there. But i haven't the faintest idea how...
WAIT! Hold that mouse! I know what your about to do.
I have searched the forums and watched tons of you-tube videos but none say how to do it properly or the guy talks with such a accent i cant understand him.
So can someone post like a super noob guide for me.
All i know is that i want a new OS but no idea on how to get it.
:highfive:I look forward to your assistance. :highfive:
Please and thank you!

Look on the box, in the manual, at the back of the phone. The easiest way to tell is if you've got a Snapdragon 821 or not. If you do, you have an x720 (or x727, which is the U.S. version).

anyone has a suggestion on howto remove bootloader unlocked warning at start up

i did rooted the oneplus 6t to get the oneplus McLaren logo on startup by a normal 6t.
with the twrp flash.
i did install the McLaren module by magisk and works for so far.
phone boots up with no probs at all except one thing i am trying to figure out.
when the phone boots up there is a for a few seconds the message bootloader unlocked with a Orange triangle and goes then into the McLaren logo and starts up further as a normal unrooted 6t.
anyways no i am trying to figure out how i can get rid off/bypass that google bootloader unlock message in the first few seconds at startup.
found out that it is possible to get rid of the message by other brands/types of phones.
but i cant put the things together howto do this on a 6t nor find any related information on the web.
it is not a really big issue/problem for me.
but i want to write a howto get the complete McLaren experience on a normal 6t included fingerprint animation themes and the ar thing (for the booklet) so far i have everything complete except that message.
and to make a complete howto i also want to include how to get rid of that message.
also i found out that there is a way to buy the McLaren back cover so it Will look and handle as a McLaren edition and then the only difference Will be the extra ram what is missing and the warp charge (hardware related stuff which cant be changed).
any help on this one is appreciated.
PS i know i can get rid of the message by unrooting it and locking the bootloader again but that's not what i am looking for.
trying to keep the McLaren things altogether without going back to full stock (and without bricking the phone off course).
best regards.

Go to that thread and you will find that it isn't possible.
You will need a signed boot loader from OnePlus that does not have the splash screen. Good luck with that.
It has to be there for Android trusted boot. Google requires it.

Thanks for pointing out the right topic didn't find it sorry forum posting it in the wrong section made a thread over here because xda said when i made a account i couldnt posted it in the developer section because i am a junior member (found that a bit funny,i am familiar with Linux backtrack, android rooting and all the stuff what Comes with it and also a bit programming with Windows) but thanks anyways topic can be closed i Will continue on the wip thread as a junior ? my wife got her degree in Windows networking programming but she has to ask me always hunny can You help me with something i cant solve (and i haven't got any degrees at school Just plain old hobby playing with software and stuff)

Some devices have fixed for that like https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning.4069207/

It's impossible on this device because the OnePlus 6/6T is made different from other devices and that warning cannot be modified due to how it is made. This was the very first thing I set out to do and from searching on our forums I learned this to be true. It's impossible on 6/6t.

This is something a lot of people need to understand.
All androids devices are not equal. Depending on the device even the bootloader is different so the same tricks don't work on all devices.
Has their been ways for other devices? Yes by exploiting a hole in the system. This is still an actively updated device. You will have to wait a few before a hole like that can be found and more importantly not patched.
Now on the other hand. This is Xda. Nothing is impossible. So by all means dig in and find the hole and come back and share it. I'm sure there are those here willing o help.

@Lui914 You can't just say that without providing basic info like a filename and how you obtained it. I'd like to be wrong and swiftly apologize, but you probably just flashed the wrong file somehow and bricked your phone without the expected checksums or incompatibilities stopping you. I don't know why there'd be a McLaren start screen when we're looking for the T-Mobile variant, which is quite pink for every boot.
The only potential filename that's ever popped up for this phone is an OTA: oneplus7tpronroxygen_13.o.17_glo_017_1912042023.

I think @LLStarks is right, I think you flashed the wrong file! The McLaren 5G ROM has the stupid T-Mobile bootanimation! If I find one I will definitely share it here!

Correct

Yea sorry I didn't want to post anything that would mess your phone up as well. I was hoping you could just switch on over so I did flash the international rom and am now stuck on the screen becasue of it and not sure how to get back. All i wanted was my dang bluetooth to work in my car! Please le tme know if ya'll find out how to get back to stock. I can't find the rom anywhere.

What I did was change my active. I flashed Omni and it boots but doesn't have data only wifi so I switched my active from 'b' to 'a' with "fastboot --set-active=a". It got me back to my McLaren rom, after you switch active I had to do "fastboot -w" to get it to boot. It will no longer update because I messed up slot 'b' which is why I'm looking for a fastboot ROM to fix it. Good luck!
