I did not object to the splash screen. As you can see in my post history I had the x30 Pro / Edge 30 Ultra, which has working OTAs with open bootloader (unless rooted) and can be relocked according to my guide.

So if I get it correctly, when you re-lock the bootloader, you will still get the nasty splash screen that the bootloader has been unlocked.

This will not be good if the user wants to eventually sell the phone as it is considered tampered.

No. Its back to stock without any repercussions (as far as I can tell). Bootloader can be unlocked again, no splash screen, all features working (if on original firmware). The only way you can tell that it was unlocked before is by checking the warranty.

    My device is converted and bl is locked. That's how it came to me, i have no idea :) It's not even unlocked right now :))

    Updates are coming and installing, no problem.

    BL locked & no warning message.


    Even if this was not the case, i would like to convert the device again, because there is no language in CN rom, as far as i know, only CN and EN languages.
    My country Turkey & my language Turkish

    Your question is a little pointless. Not everyone has to know Chinese or English. For this reason, it may need this procedure, for example I👍🏻

    Read below :)
    Pls don't spread false information that bl can be RE-LOCKED because Motorola modders know it will brick your phone :)


    Dude, i don't give information to "lock it". I wrote "It was sold to me like this, i received it like this" look there, read it well, don't be idle(y)

    For those who are planning to buy from Motorola China (CN ROM), do NOT convert to Global ROM! Do NOT buy from an online retailer where the phone has been converted to global ROM.

    This is a warning to everyone if you don't want any headache in software support.

    Reasons why you should NOT convert to Global ROM:

    1. You can NEVER re-lock your bootloader - your phone will get BRICKED if you try to re-lock your bootloader.
    2. You can NEVER update your software over-the-air. Do you want to own a phone with an update-less software? Yes, this is NOT possible as there will be an error message everytime you try to update your phone's software.
    3. There will be a WARNING MESSAGE ("Your bootloader is unlocked.. etc") every time you restart your phone. Do you want this nasty message to ruin your phone's software?
    4. Google Pay will detect your phone as tampered won't meet security requirements.
    5. Streaming platforms and banking apps may not work once your phone is rooted.

    Why do you NEED to update to Global ROM when in fact, CN ROM OFFICIALLY SUPPORTS Google Play Services.
    1. Just go to Settings > System > Google Play Services
    2. Toggle to ON and you can now install Play Store and use it to download your favorite Google Apps.

    NO issues whatsoever. As simple as that.

    Don't convert. Motorola's "ThinkShield" policy is stricter than any other OEMs. Once you unlock the bootloader, you can never re-lock.

    You will also get a nasty "bootloader unlocked" message whenever you restart your device.

    And lastly, you can never update your software over-the-air because of unlocked bootloader.

    Wrong. Bootloader can be relocked without consequences (when done right) and OTAs work with unlocked bootloader.

    Well thank you for the insight...for sure this Istanbul's guy is someone from Motorola or at least has some Motorola tools :D

    There are service boxes we call "Box", this friend is Turkish. It's not from Motorola, it's a software developer. I don't know exactly, but he's famous in his business. As i said, there are many such people here. There are some Syrians, even Iranians. They can solve insurmountable problems with the service equipment (different manufacturers) we call this "box", these works are quite famous in our country.

    For example very famous this Box: https://sigmakey.com/

    That these devices can "force flash" the event. In other words, they can flash firmware without the need for any unlock code or processing.

    For example very famous again(update list / writing edge 30 ultra:):
