[Q] bootloader unlock

I have a Nexus 6 that came rooted and with busybox.
how do I know if the bootloader has been unlocked?

You can't root it without unlocking the boot loader, so if its rooted then that's all the evidence you need

Also, as soon as you turn on the phone, the black screen with the white Google logo comes up, on the bottom of the screen should show and unlocked padlock. That also means your bootloader is unlocked.

do you see an open padlock on the bottom of the screen while booting? then it's unlocked. also, you can boot into the bootloader, itll say unlocked. but if you already havd root, its probably unlocked, or he relocked it. if you have root, you can use an app to re unlock it.

you are right, I see the padlock unlocked and the word "unlocked" on the bootloader screen.
thanks.
I'm coming from a Samsung device and have no idea how to flash roms on a Motorola device.
any suggestions you can give me?

I suggest you start with this, to learn adb fastboot and flashing.

If you run into the missing system.img problem here is the link to fix it:

Last question : is there anyway to change the icons colors and shape on the notification bar like wifi, signal etc?

Bootloader Unlocked & Rooted with magisk 20+ but still gets bootloader locked status

Bootloader Unlocked & Rooted with magisk 20+ but still gets bootloader locked status
Hi.,
I am using this device from past 6Months when it was in miui 10 everything was normal like after unlocking the device and rooting device showed Bootloader status as unlocked in Developer settings but after updating to miui 11 in Developer settings it shows bootloader is locked, I haven't checked it before but when Using XiaomiAdbFasbootTools to debloat some apps it was showing bootloader locked so went to developer settings to check, while rebooting device it still shows unlocked at the bottom, can anyone check how your device is behaving

its weird..im updating to miui 11 too few weeks ago using twrp method..my device still rooted now..but on developer setting...its showing that my device is locked..i still have magisk running perfectly and still have twrp installed..maybe it is bug?

This is happening also for me! I think that's a bug.

Don't mind that because if you the unlocked is showing to your boot logo meaning you are still unlocked

I was also gonna say I'm having this; bootloader shows as unlocked during boot but both Xiaomi ADB tools and the developer settings sub-menu for unlock status show locked.
The issue is most likely Magisk hiding root. According to a support ticket on Xiaomi ADB tools;
Magisk hides the fact that you are unlocked and rooted and it spoofs ADB too, that's why it reports that you are locked.

So this may be a consequence of that.

Help regarding knowing my device in current state

I bought a used xz2 and I just found out that it was running stock aosp pie build with no of Sony's apps. I restarted it and I got a boot message that my device can't be checked for software corruption, please lock boatloader. After boot up, I checked oem unlocking in developer setting and it wasn't there at all.
What I need to know is :
Is the boatloader unlocked?
Are DRM keys lost?
What firmware I'm on ? Is it the Google's beta pie ( which the owner told me) or is it custom firmware?
Thanks

I flashed latest stock firmware and on boot up it asked for the previous pin/google account. I tried the one I had on the aosp rom but it wasn't right. I tried to contact the seller but he isn't replying. I tried booting up twrp and it did work ( I believe that this means that the boatloader is unlocked). now, I believe that I can no longer use the device unless I flash a custom rom ?
or is there a way to bypass the FRP ?

Unfortunately the previous stock rom user needs to unlock it.

I locked my bootloader and it now my phone is in soft brick.... If you want to lock you can downgrade your OS to ColorOS and you can acess Fastboot easily

That's what I did with Auth-flash, even paid credits to revert back to ColorOS.
Now I'm at C.29 with Realme UI 1.0 with Bootloader unlocked but not able to access to Booloader.
At least I can use NFC and use the phone normally, only no root, no bootloader, no widevine.

I have similar issue. It seems that Realme has blacklisted our devices from entering bootloader. Tell me this, has your phone been sent to Realme for repairs after you tempered with the bootloader?

Yes Milan in my case, I took to realme service center , but after getting repaired, i used unlocking tool again and it worked no problem but after the updates I felt like i should lock the bootloader , so i did with a command " fastboot flashing lock " now whenever i try to unlock it doesn't unlocks rather shows fastboot logo 2-3 sec, also i tried in color os 6 but nothing happend there also, now im using color os 6 which is still better in terms of performance as compared to realme ui , ui 2.0 and also i can't upgrade to android 10 or android 11 from coloros 6 due to the fact that the security patch won't match realme ui , ultimately leading to bootloop , which was the earlier case for me to go to service center .

I've reached out to the local Realme service center and I asked them if my bootloader was blacklisted. After running some checks with Realme HQ, they've told me to send the device to them, so that they could flash/update the software themselves in order to regain access to my bootloader. Which means that no matter what we try, we won't be able to get the bootloader unlocked ourselves without Realme's intervention.

Ok Milan, just inform us with your result once Realme intervenes and concludes your device!!

Hi Rahul, I will keep you guys updated, however I need my device for work, so I won't be sending it in for service anytime soon. Maybe i'll get around to it in Q1 2022 once I get my next device

Removing Orange State warning?

So I flashed Havoc OS on my RMX2020 and while it's running just fine, I was wondering if it's possible to get rid of that orange state nag screen upon unlocking the boot loader. I've seen guides on YouTube and elsewhere but I'm a little hesitant to apply it due to bricking risks.
Also, how do I revert to stock properly once I get sick and tired of custom OSes?

As far as I know Orange State status is triggered by unlocked bootloader. I have it too so far have no problem since it's only few text on boot up and do no harm to the phone itself. ( It's just some kind of warning that you have unlocked your bootloader )
