I've seen on some other devices that they found a way to change the unlocked bootloader warning screen with custom pics. Is that possible on the OP7Pro?
No and don't try to relock it to get rid of it without reading up first or u will brick and have to use the msmtool

Hello, on all the phones I've rooted before and had a tampered logo somewhere on the boot screen, I was able to remove it, but on this phone I have no idea how to get rid of the unlocked lock on the Google boot screen, anyone know how to fix this? Or is it impossible?

fastboot oem lock
Or since you're rooted, try BootUnlocker and lock/unlock the bootloader whenever you want...

But if I lock the bootloader wont I not be able to flash things without unlocking it again? I flash things way to often, I figured there'd be a way to just simply hide it. I've accomplished this on other phones.

You can still flash from recovery with a locked bootloader, just not from the bootloader itself (fastboot). And you can just unlock it using BootUnlocker anytime you want to flash with fastboot... it's that easy.
I don't know if you can just hide the icon without locking... most of us here don't care about the icon... it's just part of what makes a Nexus a Nexus. I personally enjoy seeing it when my devices boot up - it reminds me that I bought a device that supports unlocking and flashing out of the box without hacks.

Hi. I've just found a material theme for the nexus 5 bootloader and i've asked the developer if he can remove the lock icon under the google logo and he did it. You can find the flashable zip on the fourth page of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goog...t3118100/page4
Cheers!
Hey everyone,
I got my new Honor 8 and as with my previous OnePlus One I just need root.
It's not that complicated to find descriptions how to unlock the bootloader (and loose the warranty), relock it and even get the "locked" status again without (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70177996&postcount=7) and with DC Unlocker (https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-lock-bootloader-from-relocked-to-locked) in case I understood everything right.
But the important qustion of course is if one (for example Huawei) can see that its relocked. So first, what does it say if you get the status over the command prompt? And even if it's "locked" there is there any other way you can see?
I don't expect a warranted answer but maybe someone who is firm with android coding or what ever can at least say what he thinks?
Thanks a lot!
If you relock it with a fastboot command then yeah. But if you use a rollback package to return to emui 4.1, everything gets wiped in a way that makes the bootloader status "locked"
Could please someone at least check the first question with his unlocked phone?
Edit: Didn't see your reply and don't now how to delete mine... Thanks anyway!

As far as i know yeah, unless there is some secret way for them to know it. If you unlock the bootloader with a code and then lock it again it will show the bootloader status as "relocked" in fastboot mode, indicating that the device was tampered with in the past. But the "locked" status you get in the rollback process is the same as on a phone that was never modified. I found this "trick" accidentally when restoring a bricked phone using the rollback package and think it's pretty handy.

Not sure if u'll read this. When I was stuck in the same issue somewhere around July 2017 I was devastated and thought if I were to relock my bootloader how to do so without it saying relocked (If you do it by fastboot it will 100% say so). I tried the rollback method on seeing this and u sure r right. It says LOCKED and looks as though my phone was never tampered with ?.
I came across this thread researching abt something and though I'd thank you!

Hi!
I unlocked my bootloader today and everytime I boot my phone, I get a warning saying "Warning, your device is unlocked and cannot be trusted. Booting in 5 seconds". I've unlocked devices before and never had this warning. Is there any way to get rid of it?
Thanks
I'm very upset, too

you should modify your bootloader to remove it but it is a risky way to remove warning message
so if you need to hide it the safe way is relocking
Just received my Solar Red U11. Is there any reason not to unlock the bootloader right away?
I'm not planing on rooting it or installing any custom ROMs anytime soon, but I'm also not 100% sure I'm gonna be keeping the phone (few things I need to see if I can get used to).
Should I just unlock it now so I don't have to (potentially) wipe my device at a later date?
Thanks!

if you decide to unlock at a later date you can back up your stuff to your computer unlock then put it back.all the other stuff is your choice, me, mine is unlocked out of the box.
it only wipes your internal, not the ext_sdcard
At some point, one of the future updates could prevent you from unlocking it. That would eliminate the
ability to modify your phone's software. If you'll never do that, probably doesn't matter if unlockable.
The only downside is the orange reminder splash screen that is displayed on boot-up.

Aldo, how do you back up data & /or app settings of 3d party apps fm a device w/locked Bootloader & no root?
Also, what & how much boot delay is there if you unlock bootloader - I saw someone post a pic that shows the screen in text mode & a warning abt startup not beginning for 5 seconds.
Also, please clarify, HTC gave warnings about losing the Fingerprint capability if you unlock the bootloader; I just want root,so I can run Titanium B/U & some root-needed apps- put really like the Fingerprint feature- was that an old warning? The posted HTC warning says you can'telock the bootloader- but I just saw someone talk abt re-locking their bootloader bc they want to sell the device as clean.
Any help much appreciated, TIA oldwolf
Boot loader won't effect your fingerprint scanner....never heard of had that.
The warning about losing fingerprint scanner functionality on HTCDev refers to the One Max (2013), and only to that device AFAIK.
Negative effects of unlocked bootloader
Has anybody found HTC U11 losing OEM applications, sound and camera quality or other pre installed applications after unlocking the bootloader? Also please tell me whether the unlocking procedure is same for Android oreo udate.
Thanks.

Go to developer options ( on setting) and allow unlocked bootloader ,,,ok finish
Unlocking the bootloader has no adverse effects. You can still update ota. If the bootloader is ever unlocked there is no reason to relock it unless you are returning the phone to the store.
I unlocked my phone but can't prevent the unlocked bootloader warning from popping up. Is it possible to have a different load screen instead? I was able to do this on my Moto G5 Plus with a new .img file I think. The warning still comes but it's masked with a more appropriate Motorola logo.
Thanks!

https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/help/help-t3774285 - it's impossible at the moment, and since that it's all about esthetic, it'll hardly be taken in consideration.
Is there any way to revert back to factory settings then? I'd rather not use a custom rom if I have to look at that warning, and it would be useful if I want to sell the phone.
You must relock the bootloader.
OK, how do I do that? The problem is that I have SlimRom installed, so I don't know if that's possible with SlimRom. I just want to go back to factory. Is there a guide?
Thanks.
You must go back to stock for being able to correctly lock the bootloader without problems, here's a guitar about how to do that https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/how-to-to-stock-emui-5-0-flashing-twrp-t3679985
