Is there any way to remove unlocked bootloader warning?
Im using LOS.
In other models it exists, in Dubai I don't know how to proceed.
Heyyo @rodrigodcf, there isn't a way to "remove" it, all the other devices do is cover it up with a logo or something, so you still have to wait for that bootloader warning to timeout before proceeding to booting to the system.
It's faster to just double-tap your power button to skip it.

Hi,
I'm new to Android. I'm checking out the CyanogenMod guide and it says:
If the Bootloader on the Nexus S has already been unlocked, you may skip this section.
.. how do I check if my nexus comes unlocked or not?
Thanks
Power off the phone hold and continue to hold the volume up button and press the power button. Use the volume keys to toggle down till recovery lights green. Press power buttom. If you see the custom recovery titled: Clockworkmod then it has been unlocked. Or the other method to bypass this has been done.
Or more simply if you are the first owner of the device and are new to android you don't have a unlocked bootloader because you have not done the precess needed to root the device.

Ummm your bootloader can be unlocked without changing recovery.
Just turn the phone off. Hold volume up and power, this will get you into bootloader mode.
Look for lock state. It'll say either unlocked or locked.
If its unlocked, you'll see a lock under Google upon turning the phone on

I suppose someone should add that unlocking the bootloader while simple enough in comparison to other devices, will erase the internal SD of the phone so make a backup if you have anything you don't want to lose
It is possible to root the nexus s without unlocking the bootloader thus not losing data. I did the oem unlock on one device and the non oem unlock on another. There is a thread for it in the sticky.
hello frnds,
i am from india (duh) ...my friend bought a galaxy nexus s two days ago..
she had it up an running and it was working as it should.. but yesterday when she woke up..what she saw was that the phone won't boot up and a it shows a lock sign on the boot screen below google and that it was heating up badly... even the pc is not detecting it..i have the phone right now and i promised her that i'll fix it...
what should i do to keep up my promise!
bootloader is locked, phone won't boot
Hello,
The lock simply means that the bootloader of the phone is currently locked (as it is from the factory).
If it won't boot past the Google screen, try removing the battery of the phone for 10 seconds, then trying again.
If this fails, remove the battery again, replace the battery, hold down the UP volume button while pressing power until you see a green android screen. If you can see this screen, then use One Click Root 5.1 in the Development Thread for Nexus S or Nexus S 4G.
hmmm..
thank for the relpy,
well i have tried all that stuff i.e removing the battery for 10 sec..(didn't work)...
wen't to recovery mode(the green android thingi...) and tried recovery option won't work..
do you mean i should flash the firmware again by using one click?
thanks in advance!!:angel:
The lock sign means that the bootloader is UNLOCKED. If you didn't see the lock it would mean that the bootloader is locked (stock). The recovery option won't work because you haven't flash any custom recovery. In fastboot mode (volume up+ power button) it should say: LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED. This means that bootloader is unlocked. Use the toolkit (found in nexus s android development) to flash stock image.
Someone tried to do stuff to the phone and messed up.
thanks
i will try this let you know.:fingers-crossed:
thanks for the help:good:
What causes this though? I have codename jb And cwm 6 on my device and it randomly gets stuck on the boot screen through out the day
Purchased a used Photon Q for my lady and want to root it for her. How can I tell if the bootloader was already unlocked by the previous owner?
Shut the phone completely off.
Then hold both volume button on the right side and hold the power button until the screen shows a menu.
Release all button and scroll down to "AP Fastboot" with vol_down and select the entry with vol_up.
There you will see a "Device is LOCKED" or "Device is UNLOCKED" somewhere.
I am not sure if it is possible to lock the device again.
If it is possible, there is no way to check if the bootloader was unlocked before.
Hi all! I have a plan but I'm not sure it's gonna work out.
TL;DR I have a broken power button and I want to unlock my bootloader but I can't do so because I need the button to confirm the change.
So recently two things happened: I updated to the Android 10 beta and I replaced my back glass as the previous one was cracked. The problems are that because of the lack of TWRP and general kernels/ROMs lack of support I want to roll back to OOS 9.0.9. I tried the fastboot method of flashing 9.0.9 which worked well except I still couldn't flash TWRP (getting the same error as with Android 10 Beta). Because of that I want to use msmdownloadtool after which I'll update to 9.0.9 via local OTA.
I know that will lock my bootloader back up and I'll need to unlock it again. Thing is, to do so, I need to confirm that I want to do it using the power button at some point in the process. Is there any other method like a fastboot command or anything in order to confirm that doesn't require me to press the power button which is broken? Or is my only hope staying as I am and hoping I'll never boot loop the device?
No way. Have your power button fixed first.
Whenever you start our device (X00ID) and you have unlocked the boot loader, you get a pop up during the boot warning you that your device is not secure and you have to wait 5 seconds or press the power button to skip it. I'm wondering if there is anyway to get rid of this?
