I made some new TWRP flashable logo.bins for the Qualcomm E4. They will not work for the MediaTek variant. @KevMetal tested them out below, and reported that they did not work on his XT1762.:crying:

The "N/A" is barely visible. Since we know where to look, it can be faintly seen, but for anyone else, it won't be noticeable.

Feel free to get creative and add to the collection.

Just wanting to let you guys know, I'm on a vzwPerry XT1767 and if you connect via USB to adb and issue 'adb reboot bootloader,' you can then issue 'fastboot flash logo logo.bin' (assuming the 'logo.bin' file is whatever boot logo you want in your ADB directory) and as long as:
1- the file keeps the name, and
2- the image doesn't exceed the size of the original,

it will successfully flash a custom boot logo with a locked bootloader.
IDK if this is already known, but lately I've been doing anything and everything in my power to figure out a root method for this phone, and in doing so I stumbled across this forum and decided to give a custom logo a try. Js,for the record. How this helps\informs!

Btw, one more thing, just wanting to get someone to clarify here:
The reason it's possible (even with VZW's permalocked bootloader) - the 'logo.bin' doesn't invoke the TrustZone Kernel security from PBL to SBL1 - SBL3, then on into ABOOT because it isn't part of the 'flashing_critical' or 'preloader\bootloader' parameter\class of partitions ??

This worked great on my Moto G4. I reinstalled the stock firmware so I can sell it, but didn't like the N/A Warning about the device not being trusted. Now it boots cleanly without any silly warning.

The positioning of the N/A on the E4 makes it difficult to cover/hide in a satisfactory manner...unless you use a white background - then it's no problem. However, I prefer a dark/black background. I have not really been happy with any of the boot logos I've made. I think I have a somewhat decent solution, though. I have attached a black template for anyone that's interested. Simply add your own artistic creation and flash your new boot logo. The top is an off-white/gray that mostly hides the N/A, and quickly blends into the black background. For kicks, I've also included another flashable logo.

Here ya go, I made the white ones cause it doesn't show the N/A in the upper left corner
I ended up figuring it out and making my own. I like the black, due to the brightness of the screen at night but the N/A still shows up on there since I didn't make a white strip at the top. Such a weird thing for Lenovorola to put in. Thanks for making these!

It's not weird, it's on purpose. So they know you unlocked it, since it voids your warranty.
