I was on untouched april stock, i used gcam enabling camera2api via this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-google-camera-root-magisk-enable-t3747585
I rooted yesterday for the first time to use titanium backup for backing up my apps (i like backing up with both twrp and tb just to on the safer side) as i was about to try a custom rom, after rooting i remeber there was a linux splash screen before the mi logo. After using the custom rom for a few hours i downloaded the fastboot april stock via this link http://bigota.d.miui.com/V.9.5.10.0.ODHMIFA/tissot_images_V.9.5.10.0.ODHMIFA_20180405.0000.00_8.0_b9e697ed56.tgz
flashed the rom via miflash, everything was normal as earlier, then i noticed some "Caping" app on my phone after installing nova launcher, this app was never present on my my previous rom, i uninstalled and ignored it. After that i installed magisk, my apps and went on to enable camera2api with that same tool that i used earlier. Now on each reboot i see a bootloader warning instead of that linux mascot which used to be on my previous stock, also there's a noticable lag (3-5 sec green screen) in opening gcam which wasn't the case earlier. This makes me think that there's something different about this fastboot rom, can anyone explain me this?
Linux mascot on stock? Really? Never seen that. You must have had some weird reseller firmware on there first.
No, no region difference ROM's.

yup, i thought everyone would be seeing the same so i didn't bothered clicking a pic of that bootup, the mascot was exactly like the pic i atached, but a LOT smaller with entirely dark background. Also i am from india and i bought it via official sale, so i doubt "weird reseller" case can be applied here.

UPDATE: i still havent found the mystery behind that linux mascot, but the gcam lag was fixed with locked bootloader. Probably magisk and unlocked bootloader was causing that. Hope it helps someone

The tux logo shows because your `splash.img` got cleared. I've attached the stock `splash.img` here, you just need to run `fastboot flash splash splash.img` in Fastboot mode.

finally someone with who gets to the topic, there's 3 screens that comes up when an unlocked device boots up,
1. the bootloader warning screen (which was where i got that linux mascot)
2. the actual splash screen, with that mi logo below, (this was always there, with/without linux mascot)
3. boot animation, (of no use here)
so you mean that the 1st thing, the bootloader warning splash screen got cleared, am i right? as both the mi logo (actual splash screen) and the bootanimation were the same.
IjazCI said:
Hey there the Capping app is because you flashed the userdata image while flashing through Mi Flash tool. You can just uninstall that.
After my first bootloader unlock i too had that cute linux mascot. Its gone after next fastboot unlock.

Yup. The bootanimation (excluding the Mi logo) is loaded by Android from the boot animation file in `/system/media`.
IjazCI said:
The camera lag is introduced by root itself. As a workaround you can use Magisk module from this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/module-long-camera-start-fix-mi-a1-t3745262/page2
Unlike other modules this keeps Selinux status as enforcing and it's from a respectable dev.

I'm not sure, for me it was probably because of me accidentally flashing wrong images.

Editing "software can't be checked for corruption" message from unlocking bootloader?
I have rooted, modded, etc. my OnePlus 5 but that required me to unlock my bootloader. When you do that, it causes an ugly message to appear for 5 seconds at boot. I want to keep this message so I have 5 seconds to go into Recovery, Fastboot, etc and so myself and others will be aware that the bootloader is unlocked. However, I could make a much better design, maybe even add a changing countdown number until boot.
However, I don't know how to change it.
Does anyone know how to edit the "software can't be checked for corruption" message?

I'm surprised this hasn't been changed as a couple of other phones have had this removed months ago...
I have an Axon 7 and that was solved a few weeks after it came about. There are fewer devs there than working on the One+ phones and we still have this undesirable boot screen every time we boot up...

Completely different phone. Not possible with OnePlus.
Some phones have the image in a separate partition on the flash memory.
These are easy to hack (although Google has made it harder to do that recently, with checksums).
For others, the image is embedded in the bootloader. Hacking the bootloader is very risky as any mistake will end up with a brick.
OP5 is the latter.
You can change the OS boot picture. You can change the OnePlus logo that's displayed first. But not that warning. I even think the warning is mandated by the Android certification process.
please help me.
I have completely wiped my device. nothing is there in internal storage. Just the TWRP folder.
it has unlocked bootloader and twrp installed
but it is the unrooted device.
so please tell me what is best for me?
shall I root it or can I directly go to stock Oero?
I have already downloaded stock file '8.1.0 (OPM6.171019.030.E1, Jul 2018)- angler-opm6.171019.030.e1-factory-1abcb2f1.zip'

You will be fine I wipe my internal from time to time. Just make sure you update your bootloader and vendor. If you use the flash all I'm pretty sure it's done for you but if using fastboot method follow the steps in the hiesenberg guide. Just so you know once on the latest Oreo builds from what I've read can no longer downgrade. I haven't verified or read up on it myself but maybe look into if you think you might want to go back to nougat .

i have tried that earlier, but still i got the red triangle.
since i failed to go to stock today i installed latest twrp-3.2.2-0-angler using latest SDK tool.
then i flashed Magisk-v16.0 and then ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20161008-angler and it immediately went to google logo and stuck there.
just use this to get back to stock https://developers.google.com/android/images
all you do is boot in to fast boot plug into pc and run flash all
there are ways to save data but you already wiped so no need
if your still confused just look up a guide of how to flash factory images and install the usb drivers

It looks good but didn't seem to flash radio and bootloader maybe just not in screen shot should boot but if it still won't boot in to the stock recovery and factory reset might help
You could have the bad big cores try flashing one of the 4 core fixes. Also I wait to flash magisk until after first boot. It can hang you on the Google screen .

Hmm... Try using bootanimations for superuser from the play store, (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations), there is a plus in bottom corner to import your own zips, alternatively you can copy the boot animation.zip to /system/media with chmod 644 I believe.

Bootanimation_plus.zip is the boot animation for the G6+, it should match the stock one just with a + on the splash screen, and bootanimation_decrypting.zip is the animation it plays when you decrypt your phone (if you encrypted it, if you didn't it is unused) I'm extracting a tmo ROM RN, try replacing all 3 animation zips with the one you want
I used this out of magisk (midnightcore) and it works. There are 2 files now in system /media didn't look before but theoretically it should allow for changing the animation regardless of the module I would think. Just permissions and size etc that could get in the way. But that stuff isn't stuff I've dove into. But, if you're the type to build them I think it's doable. Flash that module, run it, and see what it puts in there. I believe it backs up the stock like you would if done manually. Can't see it being so much more than changing the picture size (the ones I've used aren't optimized for or screens that I've noticed) or replacing the pictures all together.

That midnight deal starting acting weird for me too after it was updated this morning. I tried changing to the superhero deal and it gave me issues also.
Edit: give it another try, I just did after making the above comment and it worked.
Something to think about. While I was looking around my files in the phone I noticed that if I had saved the animation zip when asked that it did. Because I'm thinking if the script will download but seems to have an issue applying the animation if we couldn't just take the zip from where midnight downloads it to and manually place it. Don't see why not. Script is only automating the process

Hello to everyone,
I hope that someone can help me at this point where i'm stuck on bootscreen after i flashed an custom ROM.
So, let me tell you my story.
I have a little of experience with flashing custom ROMs. And on my personal phone (Galasy S5) i succesfully installed over and over again custom ROMs. I really like the ROMs from AOSP Extended. They are covering all of my needs. So today i have an Samsung Galaxy J5 SM-J500FN. It is having some problems with the capacitive buttons(Back and multitasking buttons); those are playing however they want, so you can realise that entering in some app and your phone exiting fro it by itself is very annoyng. So on my S5 i have an option that can disable those buttons for good. And i wanted to install the Android &.1 Nougat offered by AOSP Extended today. So i ve got the TWRP from the official website for the right model of the phone (J500FN) and put it succesfully on it. I downloaded the ROM from official AOSP website, and succesfully installed it on the phone whithout any error. Then i installed the GApps nano, again with 0 errors. And when i was relaxing a little bit hoping that everything it s allright, when i wanted to boot up the phone, it froze up at boot screen (At the moment with that logo with Samsung ... powerd by Android). Then in a couple of seconds it started to turn to an green screen and then to an white screen. At this point, everything is frozen. So i removed the battery and entered in recovery mode(TWRP). There was no problem (only with those capactive buttons that i want to block).. But anyway, i donloaded several ROMs and nothing so far. I tried with anoter TWRP version, samething, stuck on boot screen.
Until my first atempt to flash the custom ROM, the phone worked just fine, only that those buttons ware going crazy. But now, i can't start it up in every mode i can think of.
Can anyone help me with this, please?! Any ideea of how to slve it?

Thanks in advance...
Look at the aosp file you downloaded. It says j5LTE.
Your device is j5nlte not j5lte you tried to install the wrong file.
Simple as that.
And if that isnt your problem you may have the wrong bootloader and modem but changing that is easy just follow the guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...5-1-1-bootloader-modem-j500xx-t3566801/page15

i flashed with Odin ''BootLoader version 5.1.1'' and everything after that was pretty simple.
-Screwed up somewhere as my goal was to install LineageOS and try to use it on an At&t mvno.
-Package was unopened for months, so it still had the older firmware.
-Everything seemed okay after I unlocked the bootloader.
-Then I installed TWRP.
-Did a backup of everything using TWRP before I was going to try and root the device.
-I knew something was wrong when no verity opt encrypt and Magisk gave some error message and failed.
-Now whenever I boot the device, I get a N/A in the top left corner and then goes into TWRP.
-Restoring the backup using TWRP did nothing.
-I thought this would be the solution (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=1M), but I get the bad key first and then N/A before going back to TWRP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/help/moto-e4-metro-variant-rebooting-to-twrp-t3825841
What should I do now?
Any help would be appreciated. Even links to other posts that dealt with this issue is fine. Be aware that my skill level is only a little better than following Youtube videos.
Thank you.
N/A is normal. It will be there forever after you unlock bootloader. Did you format data in TWRP and type yes to format?
Thanks for the reply.
As far as I know, I did not format within TWRP. Is that my next step? If not, please advice what should be done next.
My concern is something is wrong because both the suggestions you gave in that other thread did not result in the phone booting to Android properly.

once you flash TWRP you have to flash a no verity zip and probably magisk and definitely format data to remove encryption for your phone to boot.
Installing no verity zip and magisk produced the following. Did I do this properly because there looks like multiple errors?

Installing no verity zip and magisk produced the following. Did I do this properly because there looks like multiple errors?

I can't read that, LoL. Maybe... Failed toount data? That's because you're still encrypted.
Put the zips on external storage. Format data, type yes.
Now reboot recovery (not system) then flash the zips.
And you can take screenshots in TWRP.
Thanks so much.
I followed your instructions plus the one from the other thread. Phone is now able to boot to the stock Android. I guess my next step is doing a little more research before trying to install LineageOS to see if the phone works well enough on a USA GSM mvno.
One more question please.
On the E4, are the system firmware updates mandatory? I read that users are first notified and then forced to take the update even if you Disable Automatic System Updates.
Is that true? I wish to stay with the old firmware because people have posted that the new firmware eliminates any chance of using a USA GSM sim on a Boost 1766.
Thanks.

Use caution going with a custom ROM on this device, especially with a mvno. You may score far more hurt than benefit. Also consider what you are trying to accomplished going with custom ROMs given the clean stability of Moto stock ROMs. Toss in Xposed framework and a few modules like Gravitybox for full control/customization.
OTA updates can not be processed with a custom recovery (one of several prerequisites that your device no longer meets). You may get notified but the update won't install; you'll be dumped into TWRP. You can easily disable the update engine and corresponding notifications on a rooted device.
