Anyone have logo for bootloader unlock warning
Proper remove without n/a
??
Assuming you're talking about the logo.bin that was posted in the rooting guide thread that changes the logo to the stock logo. From what I heard, it is not possible to remove the n/a from the logo as it comes directly from the bootloader. The only way to remove it would be to modify the bootloader which in and of itself is a huge risk for very little reward as a corrupt bootloader = hard bricked phone that requires a direct connection to the nand to flash stock firmware that isnt corrupt. The n/a isnt even that visible and you only see it once every week maybe for about 5 seconds. It would be of course easier to do this if the bootloader was open source, but that will NEVER happen. It might however be possible to change the logo to a different image that could "cover" the n/a with white since the text is white with no shadow.

I bought a Moto Z Play off of Swappa and it's arriving on Tuesday. I wanted to double check that the bootloader's locked to make sure that it wasn't loaded with any kind of keylogging software. The seller had photos of it still in the original packaging, but I'm paranoid, so I just wanted to make sure. If I do the volume down + power button method to go into fastboot, how will I know if the bootloader's unlocked? I've seen a few photos of the fastboot screen, and none of them seemed like they had that info.
If the bootloader ist unlocked you should see a warning screen for 5 seconds immediatly after starting the phone.
Edit: i found this in the OnePlus Forum:
"You can also type this command : fastboot oem device-info
if you see the word : true instead o false near the result, that means you're phone is or have been unlocked"
the easyest way is to see if you getting 5 second warning on boot
Anyone else know where the info would be on the fastboot screen?

Where do I use that command? On the fastboot screen? I know there's a dial code I can use to check the bootloader, but I was hoping to see it before I logged into the phone.

Any idea what that warning looks like? Is it just the little unlocked lock icon?
You cant miss it. It shows up as the first screen your device displays immediatly after starting it. It will say something like "The bootloader has been unlocked. This device can not be trusted" for 5 seconds and then proceed the normal startup procedure. If you miss it then your bootloader is locked.

So, if the bootloader's locked, then phone should be safe for use, right? Or is there anything else the seller might've done to tamper with it?
Even if the bootloader is unlocked it could be safe.

But if the bootloader is locked, does that mean it's definitely safe? Anything else I could do to protect myself?

Basically what separates a locked bootloader and an unlocked bootloader is the ability to alter the partitions of the phone. A phone with an unlocked bootloader could probably be reflashed in a way to skip the Google sign in lock after a "reset" and be sold off if it were stolen. If you have a locked bootloader and a password on the device, all that could be done is a wipe through stock recovery and be prompt by Google to sign in with the previous account. In terms of OS security patches, your basically helpless until the device manufacturer feels like maintaining the device. Apparently Android O is supposed to fix that with project treble where Google adds an extra API layer on the kernel level.

Did you miss my opening post? I said I'm buying a new phone from an independent seller. I wanted to know if there's any way to check if they installed malware of any kind that might keylog me.

I'd check the indication of an unlocked bootloader as others previously mentioned, look at what's prompted upon booting up the phone. If it was unlocked, the message is as clear as day that tells you it's unlocked. If they tried to cover that up you'd still see part of the message like "N/A" or "bad key" within the logo. That indication right there alone is suspicious. Should you contact the seller or reflash the stock firmware yourself, you should be wary about what's already installed on the device.
If you don't see any indication of an unlocked bootloader, then I'd still wipe it through stock recovery and run an app that checks signature verifications and heuristics of malicious apps (Malwarebytes or some other antivirus app).
I forgot to mention the logos that are SUPPOSED to show on the device depending on what Android version it's on.
For marshmallow, you should see the white logo I've posted in attachments along with the indication I marked where you'll see text from the bootloader telling you that's unlocked if the seller tried to cover it up.
For nougat, the one with the aqua colored background and the indication I marked where the cover up text should be.
If there's nothing and the logo is "natural" looking and you don't see a message before the logo then your bootloader is probably locked.
Edit: sorry the indication for the nougat is slightly lower than where it needs to be. Should be on the same level as the marshmallow one.

I don't think there'll be anything installed (besides the possibility of malware). It's supposed to be a brand new, unopened phone that's still in the original packaging. It'd be too suspicious if there are apps already installed (besides bloatware that's on most phones).
I have successfully unlocked my bootloader and rooted my g5, but now, there is a warning that my bootloader has been unlocked and cannot be trusted. How am I supposed to remove this warning, because i dont want to wait 5 or so seconds for my phone to boot because of this warning

Ok first let me start off by saying that I'm an idiot and did something really stupid. I was rooted with an unlocked bootloader on Android 8.1 preview was trying to return to stock and stupidly I locked the bootloader before flashing a factory image. Now I'm stuck on the bootloader screen, if I try to boot it flashes the white screen with the Google logo for a split second then starts going into bootloops. When I tried fastboot oem unlock it says "remote oem unlock not allowed". Does anyone know if there is a way to recover my phone or did I make a very expensive mistake?

From what I know across all devices, a very expensive mistake. :/.
For future reference, yet again, for everyone. PLEASE READ. If you want to relock the bootloader, only do so after you actually boot into the new OS.
Reboot into recovery and factory wipe it. That is your only chance, and it's slim.
RMA
Sideload ota through your recovery.
Boot prompt：your device software can't be checked for corruption, please lock the bootloader....
How delete or modify boot Unlock the tips ?
who knows tell me ，thanks .
I think this isn't possible. Had the same on my Nexus 6P. It it due to the bootloader not being able to verify the signature of your kernel, ROM and recovery as well as the bootloader being unlocked. Unless you go full stock with a locked bootloader, you will have to live with that message that unfortunately makes the device boot 5 seconds slower. That I tested myself
I have installed custom ROM (lineage os) for one-plus 9 pro android device. I have unlocked the boot-loader and changed the boot-animation image.
Now I want to lock the boot-loader again to get rid of annoying message that comes at the start. In order to lock the boot-loader , I have to flash the signed boot image .
I am struggling to find the steps required to sign the boot image.
I have tried some post but it did not work.
Appreciate if someone can help me?

It is possible by editing your logo.IMG or logo.bin file (you can backup your logo partition using any tool like partition backup and restore on playstore)
It is not possible to get rid of that message of an unlocked bootloader.
That message is part of the secure boot process and happens long before boot animation. That message is part of the bootloader itself.
When you flash a ROM you do not flash the bootloader.
The only way to get rid of that message is with a signed bootloader that doesn't display it. That does not exist. If you have an unlocked bootloader, you live with the message.

I seriously doubt this. The warning is a part of aboot itself and has nothing to do with the splash.img or logo.img you're referring to.
Ways around this in the past were done by hex editing aboot to set the delay of the warning to 0-1 seconds, that way it essentially just skips it. But that hasn't been done since OP3 series afaik.
