So I just got my nexus 5x and it looks like I cant just do the simple fastboot oem unlock and then flash twrp image, which makes me sad (I thought unlocking your phone was pretty much a red flag for "im going to do things to you" so why all the new "security" measures?). Since I'm on the latest update MHC19J, and it seems a modified boot image is not available (unless Im just overlooking it) am I just kinda stuck at the moment until said image is available? (sans the "yeah you could just modify one yourself" comment).
What are you talking about? Before unlocking have you checked OEM unlocking from Developer tools? After this you need to flash Twrp, boot into it directly from bootloader and flash SUPERSU. That should be the minimal steps in order to keep the custom recovery in place.

There is a guide and a sticky roll up that have had a lot of time spent writing up with all this info in them.
Supersu modifies the image itself.
You do need some knowledge so take a look at the howto conversation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3206930

I should have included in my post that Im only seeking help after reading everything I could find and still being at a loss. Perhaps i misunderstood the directions, or maybe the fact that Im not looking to root my device, only flash twrp and move to a custom rom right away, that Ive overlooked a step as ive ignored all the rooting steps.
So this guide says to just unlock your device (i have) and then just run fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (also did this) and I should be good (it didnt work, it gave me that warning screen).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930
This guide looks slightly different:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-how-to-install-custom-recovery-t3231143
1]Unlock bootloader- fastboot oem unlock [select yes by pressing volume up and then power button to confirm]
2] Reboot & skip everything in setup as we data will be wiped again!
3] Reboot into bootloader & flash the modified boot image- fastboot flash boot boot.img (This is the part that im asking about as there doesnt appear to be a modified image for me to flash)
4] Reboot into system to make sure it's booting properly! [May not be necessary!]
5] Reboot into bootloader again & flash twrp- fastboot flash recovery "recovery name".img
This is really what I want to achieve. Disabling Encryption and flashing TWRP so I can flash a custom rom. Not interested in the slightest about rooting a stock rom.
So thats where im stuck,no worries, I did attempt to RTFM :]

You're not following the right guide. You don't have to bother with encryption, just use the latest twrp after unlocking the bootloader and flash that IMG file in fastboot. Twrp works with encryption now you don't have to decrypt
Use this guide and follow steps one and two http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930

Thanks for the reply. I wonder what went wrong the first time though. Cause i did unlock the bootloader, rebooted and let android load, rebooted into bootloader and flashed twrp 3.0.0.0 and it gave me a weird "cannot be verified" message when I tried to boot into recovery.

That happens on Nexus phones. Just give it a second and it'll boot up. It's just a warning telling that you unlocked the bootloader. Make sure you're using the very latest version of twrp available in the site, it ends in a 1 I believe

Ahh ok, thanks for info. I think ill run the flash back to stock and give it a fresh try. Is there any plus to being un-encrypted btw?
Thanks again!
Well i went and redid everything the same way I did the first time and it worked! I must done something stupid the first time. Guess this thread was for nothing! xD Thanks for clarifying some things for me though guys.

Disabling encryption does give you a speed increase. It may or may not be noticeable for your use but the majority can see the difference.
So you have to decide between security and a snappier phone.
Just remember to back all your data up as this requires wiping your data and possibly a clean flash and either switching from the stock rom to another rom(Most have the forced encryption disabled) or when on stock rom either flash another kernel or flash supersu in systemless mode.
Hotspot need it Help! Nexus 5x
Ok, so I have a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 5X. I want to keep the Nexus 5x because has more features, but I cannot share the data from my provider cricket wireless (AT&T).
I have the option to return it or find a solution. I am pretty stubborn which means FIX IT. I have the March 1 2016 Update and this MHC19J shows up in the build version... I am under linux, last time I did this was well long time since 2013 for the nexus 5. Can some one help me with a guide for linux.
THANKS A LOT!!!

You need to go and start your own thread in the q&a section, its not polite to high jack someone else's.
Hey. I saw that on Nexus 5 someone made bootloader themes, and the new Google Logo on boot. I guess that it isn't so hard to port it. So, can someone make this?
If there are any spelling mistakes, I apologise

No, this is not possible, that mod relies on the imgdata partition that the nexus 7 does not have, not a single nexus tablet has that partition.
So editing the bootloader isn't possible?

Editing the bootloader is definitely possible however, flashing a modified bootloader will not work because fastboot will not allow you to flash a bootloader that's not the same as the original and even if you managed to bypass this, qualcomm secure boot will block it too!
Thanks for info. Right now i am trying to edit the bootloader, and then pack it as a flashable ZIP.
Wish me luck!
There is no unbricking method for this device. A modified bootloader will brick it.

It's not worth it to modify the bootloader for something this simple. There is a very high risk of bricking the device.
I have created a bootlogo for our device. I hope you like it.
Installation:
You have to unlock your bootloader and download ADB and fastboot.
Flash the logo: fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Also, I have removed the unlocked bootloader message and the N/A thing.
PD: If you have any suggestion or idea, you can tell me!

No, it isn't yours. I have edited my logo in other way. Just look at the "Powered by" text, or the "d" of Android.
Also, the M black is bigger in my logo. It's just a coincidence.

Hello!
Is there a way to remove, or change, the warning splashscreen, the one after unlocking BL?
Thanks!
This has been answered a hundred times already. No, it can't be done

Hey there, not really sure, but this must be the right place to ask for some help..
Being a professional bugger, I have managed to accomplish the impossible... I think I have flashes 1 more Asus logo to my device. Now I got 1 warning, 2asus logos, and the rom logo.
Can someone share a method so I can remove them?

I’m not sure whatsapp you have done, but I can say that it should be normal. The first ASUS logo, I think, is loaded by the Google alert of a modified / unsigned system partition, and the second is loaded by the ASUS bootloader.
My Zenfone do it as well, but is not a question of flashing more than one splash screen, I’m sure.

Ahah thanks for the information, it must be as you say..
But, is there any way to remove them?
I think that it is possible to remove the warning, downgrading and upgrading all over again..
I have tried to remove the img files, but they come up again after reboot.
If there are commands to flash them, i think that there must be some sort of command to "unflash", or some file i could eddit, so the OS does not require to load them.
Can this be done ?? If so how
What kind of question is this? I do not think there is a way to get a boot screen from another device unless you have the phone rooted, and then somehow get the boot animation from a Mate SE, and then replace the default boot animation with the Mate SE one.

Sorry, what? I can't understand you. When I say what kind of question this is, I mean why would any "logical" person try to get another phone's boot screen onto their phone? What is the purpose of doing so? What do you have to gain out of it? Smh.

The same reason there is a boot animation app because people like to change things why you acting like a little girl instead of trying to help. Or maby The same reason you unlock the bootloader of a perfectly running phone why does that bother you?? do you understand the words now ???

No, I still don't know why you can't spell correctly. Anyway, I already listed the steps to switch up the boot animation. You can easily Google this information but instead resort to asking here. Smh.

I did not change it on mine, but just located to bootanimation.zip
it is in /version/special_cust/BND-L24/hw/usa/media/bootanimation.zip on the L24
each region/ model will have different path.
there is also a second animation located in
\version\region_comm\oversea\media
don't know when it is used . On mine, the one in the hw folder has "wwwhi.honor.us.com " on the bottom of all the images, and that matches the animation being used. The other one has larger images and no addresses on the images.
I'm also interested in this, since I already replaced my boot animation with one that has a dark background from here. The Mate SE logo screen is just the simple HUAWEI logo on a black background, which is less visually jarring (especially with the warning screen that's displayed after the bootloader is unlocked).
I understand that the boot logo on Huawei devices is stored in oeminfo.img, but I haven't figured out how to unpack/repack it for the hi6250 devices.
