Looking to sell my device but obviously I have modified the boot loader so it says the data may be insecure when booting up.
How to get rid of this annoying message??
You would have to lock bootloader for that.
To do so you can use msm tool.
An alternative would be to flash oos to both the slots. Make sure it boots. Also make sure that the recovery is stock. Then in fastboot type fastboot OEM lock.
But this method is a bit unreliable as it might brick your phone

Okay so, first things first:
I can boot into both Recovery AND Fastboot
ADB Sideload does NOT work in my TWRP
Tampering bit is true and bootloader unlocked is false
My problem now is;
I need to unlock my bootloader because right now, my phone has no OS. I can't unlock it though because neither fastboot oem unlock works nor through the OPO Toolbox/Toolkit.
I can't flash anything to it right now and I need to find a way to unlock my bootloader, whenever I try to unlock it, it reboots to TWRP.
Please help. <3
adb push yourrom.zip /sdcard
Then just pick the ROM you just copied onto your phone storage using the above command in TWRP and you should be fine.
If that doesn't do the job then you can always use the brick recovery download tool.

Did you try flashing the OPO factory image and then start from scratch?
Ok so, this isn't my first time flashing and returning to stock with phones, just the worst. Any help is appreciated.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and tried to flash a few ROMS which were not working great so I went to go back to stock and then the **** show happened. Its the LO4 Model. I flashed stock recovery, Relocked the bootloader and tried the Force Flash Update method. Well now the phone is stuck in a boot loop(Cant power it down), cant boot to erecovery/ recovery -- I can get to fast boot mode but the FRP is locked so I can not do anything all commands fail with an error.
Any thoughts? I just need to get it back to stock OR a working ROM- I plan on selling this phone and My wife (it was her phone) has upgraded to a Galaxy S9. If I cant get it to work, I will post it on swappa as is for a cheap price
Thanks!
Same Issue
I did the same thing, however when in fastboot type fastboot oem unlock (put the code here) and this will unlock your bootloader. I did this I even managed to flash the stock system cust recovery and boot, but it doesnt boot into recovory, erecover, or even download mode to download the software from the sd card. Any ideas?
I tried that fastboot code and I get an error because of the FRP lock
Tablet stuck in boot loop. Can get into fastboot mode but bootloader is not unlocked. I have tested some fastboot commands and they do work, just none which are useful in fixing the issue. Does anyone know of a place to obtain a bootloader code or any feedback on how to fix this? I have firmware downloaded and have tried the volume-/+ and power and that does not work. Just goes back to the logo page. Assume the only fix currently is through the fastboot. One other thing to note when I boot into fastboot it says PHONE unlocked, FRP unlocked which I assume meant bootloader is unlocked but does not seem to be the case.
Can we re-lock the boot loader on Pixel devices if the device is rooted and modded with custom boot and recovery partitions? I heard that it will brick the device when you try to re-lock the boot loader.
Also what if recovery partition ever gets corrupted and a user never had enabled OEM unlocking for the boot loader in the developer option as set as default, and the boot loader is locked as is, user can'f flash the factory images and /or full OTA from ADB.
I'm no expert but from what I've read 'Never relock the bootloader unless you are 10000% sure it's full stuck' and if I remember correctly there is no recovery partition on A/B slot builds which is why a brick is a non recoverable scenario (check that out just in case I'm wrong)
I've unlocked my bootloader and it ain't getting relocked after reading through heaps of bricked pixel threads, best to be safe than bricked.
Yep @junglism93 is right, only re-lock bootloader if you are 100% stock and unrooted to avoid bricks. Also Pixel doesn't have a recovery partition, everything happens in the boot partition, that means that in case of problems if you don't want to reflash the whole factory image (which needs unlocked bootloader), you can just reflash boot.img on slot-a and slot-b (which needs unlocked bootloader anyway).
I unlocked my bootloader straight after the unboxing and I can tell it's like a life saviour, if any problem occurs you can always solve it with an unlocked bootloader.

That seems like a crazy partition scheme on the device. I can't stand that dreaded unlock screen at the startup. plus you never know for sure if that OEM unlock switch in the developer menu will stay enabled all the time and not accidentally get disabled after modding your device so you're just having a very vulnerable device if it is modded...eh?
I wonder if there is a pure Android device which does not have such restrictions and/or actually comes pre-rooted?
I've recently bricked my device trying to install LineageOS, long story short I had to use MSM Tool in order to flash a new, stock ROM. Since I did that I am unable to unlock the bootloader: everytime I do the phone bricks with this following Yellow message on the screen: "upgrade download failed please check your download flow is right". After that I have to use the MSM Tool again to unbrick the Yellow text.
Any ideata how I might unlock the bootloader? Aside from that, the phone works fine.
EDIT: I managed to fix this by OEM updating my device to Android 11 and *then* unlocking the bootloader. Another issue has arisen now, though: whenever I try to boot TWRP from fastboot, the phone reboots and gets stuck in the "Fastboot Mode" OnePlus logo screen. Would anyone know how to fix this, or maybe is there a way to root your phone without using a custom recovery?

Yes you can ,,install thru boot loader with ADB and fastboot CMD. First you need to extract the boot.img from your oos rom, patch it in magisk app, then put it in your adb folder and run the cmd " fastboot flash boot boot.img .
