Hey, is it possible to get rid of this message when booting?
Would be nice
Sure, just re-lock your bootloader. Presto. ?

No, it's likely that your device will brick. Please don't do so

Okay thanks for the reply
Dead end thread, there have been many many many many many posts about that since oneplus introduced that a couple of years ago
THERE IS NO WAY TO GET RID OF THAT WHILE UNLOCKED
period
and there's a thread about it here. been following this from the start and apparently it's next to impossible to achieve.

I have experience doing that. Yes your device will definitely get BRICKED!!! Just ignore that boot screen, do not attempt to do anything to get rid of it. It just takes time to accept it. I use to think about getting rid of it as well when i was using my Oneplus 3. I re-locked the bootloader and got bricked. I couldn't do anything and had to send it back to Oneplus to fix it.
There have been other devices where they are able to replace the image with another, such as a blank image to hide the warning. I've also seen people load custom ROMs signed with their own signature so they can relock their bootloader after loading a custom OS. So there are things that can be done, but it's not something to just play around with, as mentioned, mess it up, and you'll brick something.
Thanks for the replies. Well I guess its just how it is, nit a big issue, was just wondering because most videos of custom roms I saw this part was cut out lol.

I apologize if there is already a thread like this, but the search wasnt working.. I know what i can do with my phone once it is rooted, I am just interested in what happens tot he actual phone. I could be wrong, but once i root it isnt it always possible to tell that i rooted it even if i unroot it so therefor all warantees are voided? sorry if im being unclear, i cant think of another way to explain it haha.

The language on the "warranty void" screen says that unlocking the bootloader "may" void your warranty. On the Nexus One, HTC usually honored the warranty if the issue was with anything hardware related and could not have been the result of software tampering. Granted, that's them and this is Samsung.
Further, unless there is something hidden in the system files that counts the number of times you unlock the bootloader, you can always relock it prior to sending it in for repair with fastboot oem lock.

So there is a way to kind of undo the root without them knowing? THanks a lot btw. I figured it was something like this.

In a nutshell, unlocking the bootloader means you will be allowed to flash non-Google/custom files to the system partition and more or less enables superuser access(aka root). Once thats done, then you "root" the device, push the Superuser.apk which will enable the rooted apps. Please check out the rooted section of my stickied FAQ for more detail on how to do this if you decide to. There are two great threads I link to.
Once you lock the bootloader, you lose access to the system partition and superuser I believe which effectively unroots it.

So basically if you want to do any sort of mods, flash roms, etc. you need to unlock the bootload and root. Thanks a lot for explaining that. I think i understand it now, but just to clarify, if i unlock the bootloader and root will i be able to get the phone back to stock without samsung knowing that i rooted/unlock the bootloader?

Yes, to mod/flash roms you need to unlock the bootloader. It's possible that sometime down the road someone may develop a method of gaining root access on the phone without touching it, but it's unlikely given the fact that we can both unlock and lock the bootloader very easily.
Right now, the answer is... more or less. If you make a NAND backup in Clockwork Recovery/Rom manager of your stock ROM, you can restore back to that, fastboot flash the closest thing we have currently to the stock recovery(check development section for this), then relock the bootloader. This will give the phone all appearances of being stock. Unless Samsung has something deep in the system files tracking the number of times you've unlocked/locked(which I doubt, since I'm sure such a system would have been found by now), you should be good to go.
Most people who have returned the phone to Best Buy have noted that they don't even power on the device or check to see if the bootloader is unlocked or if there's a custom recovery on there. But your mileage may vary.
Interesting stuff. I was under the impression that once clockworkmod is flashed there is no way to remove it at this time.
Reading this thread I'm guessing and hoping this is not the case?
I had clockworkmod installed but used rom manager to flash the 2.3.1 update and i've now got the stock bootloader back. I guess the ota update does the same? It would seem that getting back to stock is pretty easy.

My apologies, I posted that before I came to the same understanding regarding the stock recovery.
Like the poster above me mentioned there is a NAND backup of stock 2.3.1 you could restore to which has the stock recovery.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll do some more reading in the dev section
Thanks a lot, this really helped me out a lot. I will proceed to rooting
So, just want to make sure I have this straight... You unlock the bootloader, load custom recovery, SU, and now phone is rooted. If you lock the bootloader, you lose root?
For me, I'm not big on custom roms since I just don't have time to keep things up to date or participate in the bug process, but I do like to maintain backups with Titanium (my primary reason for rooting). So by locking the bootloader down I will not be able to use Titanium. Furthermore, unlocking the bootloader wipes the device. So is there a reason one would not want to keep the bootloader unlocked? Have I completely misunderstood the system?
Hi Everyone i got a Quite new Nexus 4.
Im tired of waiting for the OTA and decided to move on to flash in the Factory Images.
As ive been reading on alot of places it says it ruins my warranty. but according to the EU Directives it does not ruin my Hardware Warranty.
So what would you do? would you open the bootloader flash in 4.4 and lock the bootloader. is there anyway the Serviceman can see that only the bootloader been opened if i lock it directly afterwards?
best regards.
Not sure what you mean about the bootloader. Yes u can unlock and lock the bootloader. After you lock it back; no there is not to tell if it was unlocked. If you want to upgrade to 4.4; follow this guide.

I mean People have had trouble when they have been at a Official Servicecenter.
Apparently the servicecenter said that the customer have had a open bootloader then locked it before going to repair, so the Servicecenter refused to repair the phone.
I dont know if its a myth or not?
so its 100 % secure not damaging any hardware just unlocking the bootloader with nexus toolkit.

I don't know a damn thing about EU Directives. But, I've never heard of google refusing to honor a warranty on a Nexus because the bootloader was unlocked. That's kind of expected on a Nexus, and that's why google makes it so easy to do. It's not like other phones that need to utilize some exploit to do it. There is very little that can go wrong. And it can almost always be fixed by flashing another factory image again.
If it was me, I would have unlocked the bootloader the day I bought it, because unlocking it will wipe your data now. There is no way around that. But if I were you, yes I would unlock it and install whatever you want to. Locking it up again is an option. But if you want to unlock again later, you will have to wipe data, again.

I also don't know anything about toolkits, I use linux and adb/fastboot (nerd).
But yes, unlock booloader, flash the new factory images, and relock it again if you want. Like I said, unlocking a Nexus is not some taboo process to google. Simply unlocking it won't void your warranty.
They only way you can void your warranty is abuse (dropping it, getting it wet, etc) , or installing BAD software that causes the hardware to malfunction. If you are installing google's factory images, you have nothing to worry about.

It is highly unlikely that after relocking that message would come. Actually, that message could be ignored if your ROM boots fine.

Unlock it again. Go from scratch and flash the factory image using Heisenberg's guide in the General section. After flashing that, see if it solves the issue.
Using toolkits could be buggy at times. I am not against them, but it's good to flash manually, so that you can keep a track on things.

No you can't flash anything with a locked bootloader. Plus, it's entirely impossible for an unlocked bootloader to cause heat issues, that's either placebo or a coincidence (another cause).

Yes, of course. Infact that's the reason I asked you about the lock status on the first place. Stock ROM with locked bootloader shouldn't give this warning. It should make it go away.
That is why, I asked you to perform a flash manually. Please refer to Heisenberg's guide for the steps.

Yes, after locking the bootloader the message should disappear. But, I'd strongly recommend leaving it unlocked and just dealing with the message. If an OTA ever fails or something else goes wrong you'll need fastboot to flash the factory images to recover your device, you'll be forced to unlock the bootloader, this will wipe the device and you'll lose all of your data because there'll be no way to back it up first.

It didnt ruin your phone.
Simply reflash the stock images and start over from scratch.
If you root or modify the phone in any way from stock, you will get those messages. They are simply that, messages. They do not affect your phone negatively. Other things you have done (like root, or installing apps from unknown sources) WILL affect the phone.
Flash stock images, relock bootloader and it will be brand new, like the day you got it.
If you dont wish to go back to stock, but want to flash OTA updates when they come out (and you are already rooted) look into using FlashFire.

Updates r not coming
Hi guys,
I just recently bought LG V20 H910 and its stucked on December 1, 2016 update Now the simple thing i want is to remain on stock and update the software.
The thing that i learned is we need AT&T sim which is not possible for me and the second thing is Bootloader unlock.
Now guide that what should is do, i know dirty santa's FM problem i dont want that also the boot time is longer .
It would be helpful if anyone guide to simple update without further modifications or root.
If you don't have an AT&T SIM, you can't update without rooting. However, if you don't want to stay rooted, you can flash a back to stock zip that will unroot you and keep you on the latest firmware.
However, if the only reason you don't want to stay rooted is the FM radio, that is now fixed.

The boot time is a little longer, but yes, the REALLY long boot time has been fixed. The warning will always be there if you have an unlocked bootloader. That comes from the bootloader itself. You could change the image if you felt like digging into raw_resources, but that is a major risk.

The only way to get rid of the boot screen is to go back to completely stock and locked boot loader, search the v20 forums there are threads around on how to do it.
How do I get rid of that message at the beginning of boot where it says something like push any key to pause boot that your bootloader is unlocked or something like that how do I get rid of that message at the beginning of boot?
