After flashing the newest bootloader and few ROM flashes later, I didn't get the unlocked bootloader warning anymore. It shows the "Google" logo and after a few seconds the unlocked icon at the bottom appears.
What ROM? The ROM zip probably includes bootloader images that replace the warning.

This is because of the XtraFactory Rom. It has files that override the bootloader messages.

SO I made a n00b mistake and accidentally reloacked bootloader trying to flash a fresh system image. I wanted to go back to stock after being rooted and unlocked.
Now i get the red screen of death and it just shuts off the phone. No recovery seems to be installed.
What do I do? Do I throw it in the garbage? Or is there a way to salvage this device?
Bootloader is locked and will not let me unlock again.
Thanks.

Can you boot into bootloader mode what so ever?
Yes only into bootloader. Can't unlock again though. Won't let me.

Only can get into bootloader but cannot unlock again. Everything else is gone.

Have you tried to manually do this with ADB with the command prompt?

I don't have the Pixel, so I'm going off of what I know from the 6P.
Does the Toolkit work for the Pixel? There has to be a way to get it working if you can get into bootloader.

I am not sure. I think I need Unlocked bootloader.
Actually i think you just need to reunlock using depixel8. That should unlock your bootloader and allow you to flash new firmware
Did you try using dePixel8 to to unlock your bootloader back? I would try that.

You have to be booted in Android for dePixel8 to work.
Am I missing something? why can't you just flash factory image again from the bootloader and then unlock your bootloader with the depixel8?

He said that he tried to unlock the bootloader again and it won't let him. With a locked bootloader, you can't flash the system images.

My mind is blown on how you accomplished this. Did you ERASE the partitions and then plan on flashing stock ones yourself? Why not just run the script (flash-all.bat) that would have automatically done the ENTIRE process for you, except re-locking the bootloader?
If all you did was re-lock the bootloader, it should have done a factory reset on the next boot and used the existing system partition. If you erased the system partition and then re-locked the bootloader, you are almost certainly screwed and had better hope Google has some mercy to let you RMA the phone.
Couple options you could try off the top of my head. The pixel has A/B patitions try adb sideloading an update zip to get it to switch to the backup partition that might still be there.
You could also try downloading the Factory images and extracting the system and go into fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot boot system system.img
and see if that works. Then if it boots on the temp image run deadpixel8 or whatever its called and reflash the stock image with the flash-all.bat.
have the same problem on my pixel after accidentally relocking after root before flashing back to stock.
Does anyone have the stock pixel xl recovery.img? I thinking if I boot into recovery "fast boot boot recovery.img" then I can add side load etc the ota from google.

Hello,
Today I noticed that my device "think" that it's locked, but I have custom ROM, kernel, etc. I want to flash factory image and lock the device, but is it safe? It won't hard brick my device?
when you reboot the phone you see a icon of a open lock?
If you see it it's ok

Yeah I see it. I also tried to flash recovery, just to be sure. It's strange that device says that it's locked (in dev settings) but in bootloader mode it says that it's unlocked.

Hey, I unlocked my bootloader using fastboot like I've done 100 times.
After that I flashed the newest TWRP for the 5x and then it wouldn't decrypt my data.
I figured I'd boot into android but it's just stuck in the boot animation, what can I do?
Edit:
I can't keep the bootloader unlocked, as soon as I reboot anywhere, it's locked again.

Can you boot into the bootloader? if you can try reflashing it back stock also when you flashed the latest TWRP, did you flash via fastboot or did you flash it in twrp?

Yes, I can boot, the issue seems to be that the bootloader won't stay unlocked.
As soon asni restart it's locked again. I think that's why twrp can't encrypt my partition. And that somehow messes up the Android installation.
Any ideas why the bootloader won't stay unlocked?

You have a phone with a replaced motherboard just like the individual in the link below. If the phone was recently replaced, I recommend getting another refurb. If that's not possible, the reddit link in this thread may be helpful for you:

Well that sucks :/
Guess I'll just wait for my next phone.
Is it possible to remove the unlocked bootloader warning shown on reboot by flashing any logo file? If so, where can the file be found?

It's not possible to do that
So I wanted to relock my bootloader so that I could use Netflix, Hulu, etc... When I fastboot flashing lock it only boots to bootloader. I can't flash anything with bootloader locked. When I unlocked again and flashed the stock boot and init_boot and stock recovery image I just get a bootloop into bootloader. I think the recovery image I flashed is not good. I can't even power the phone off through the bootloader power off option, it just reboots back to bootloader.
Can I get back to original stock rom and recovery?
Update. So now I'm completely bricked. I managed to switch the active slot to a, relocked the bootloader and now I just get a boot screen with red text that says the boot/recovery images have been destroyed and can not boot.
This happened because you failed to restore to full stock before locking locking bootloader. Well you could unlock bootloader again and fix it.

Thanks for the reply. I can't unlock again because it's stuck in a bootloop and won't boot into bootloader.
I will point out that recover and kernel both live in boot.img since there is no custom recovery for our phone.

recovery is it's own file, not part of boot.img. at least that's what the rollback and developer preview is showing.
