does anyone actually have a working method to remove the boot loader warning as none of the steps listed in the link actually do anything. the image was flash without error but the warning remains

How do you mean by 'the warning remains' though, can you still see the 'device has been unlocked' message even after flashing the logo.bin via fastboot (using the adb terminal)? Can you show us which logo.bin you're trying to flash and what steps you're using to flash the file?

If you've got TWRP, you may wish to try some of the TWRP flashable logo.bin

The only other way I know of removing the bootloader warning is to re-lock your bootloader. The custom logo.bin, though they don't shorten the 5-10 delay on booting, at least hide the bootloader warning (and the N/A bit too).

The v1 Android logo wouldn't even flash, the V2 logo says it's 100% completed but the full warning remains and no logo of powered by Android. I am using the minimum abd package which is working fine as I did everything else without issues via fast boot command, I'm using the commands listed on xda for it I've tried both fastboot flash logo logo.bin and mfastboot flash logo logo.bin Sudo fastboot flash logo logo.bin and flash logo logo.bin all came back as 100% complete without any errors being displayed then I did fastboot reboot.

Could it be because moto just pushed a new software update to this model ending with .67 the latest nogurt build, sorry for any typos.

I'm confused now as you've mentioned you've had an update pushed to your device with .67? For Moto G4 Plus, I recall the latest update is NPJS25.93-14.4 (March 2017), unless you're on a soak test.

So, just to clarify, you've:
1) Downloaded the zip of the logo.bin
2)Extracted the logo.bin from the zip file
3)Copied the logo.bin to your adb directory (ensuring that there aren't any other logo.bin files in the directory or the original/your new logo.bin has been renamed, if for example you had your stock ROM there), or made a note of the path directory to your desired logo.bin
4)Rebooted your device to the bootloader and plugged your device into your computer
5)In adb, typed 'fastboot flash logo logo.bin' (ensuring that the 'logo.bin' is pointing to the correct logo.bin)
6)Rebooted

Yes I have e followed all those steps and nothing changed. Don't even know what a soak test is or how to get it.

I was getting confused as you quoted an update version that doesn't appear to exist currently on Moto G4 athene devices (to the best of my knowledge). Out of interest, can you post a screenshot of your device info under Settings>About Phone? I'd just like to verify what build you have. You'll either get a soak test from the Motorola Feedback Network if you signed up to be a tester, usually. It'll appear as a software update (and accompanied with a questionnaire, if I recall).

It's odd these steps aren't working, I've got a XT1642 (on the retgb retail software channel) and have been able to flash these logo.bin images. Perhaps someone else can chime in with solutions.

That information hmwas removed when lineage is was installed onto the handset I own the XT1643 which is an Australian model. Definitely not a moto tester that would break my contract with Jide technologies. Both my moto G4 plus device got the update so did most the people I know here with that model. Updated about a week ago. Ending in .67 my moto G5 plus which I just got has no software updates and is ending in .14

I think you've got your devices mixed up - as far as I know:

Moto G4 Plus - updated to NPJ25.93-14.4 (March 1 2017 security update) - which would be your XT1642. XT1643 is the Indian model. Thus far, does not have an update ending in .67.
Moto G5 Plus - updated to NPN25.137-67 (March 1 2017 security update) (you've even posted getting this update on your device in the G5 Plus OTA thread! https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72784029&postcount=194) As far as I know, Moto G5 Plus devices have only received .15, .33, .35 and .67 updates.

LineageOS will still show if you're running a Moto G4 Plus or Moto G5 Plus under the Device info. Also, the build will tell you whether it's for Moto G4 ( it'll list athene as the codename) or Moto G5 Plus (listing potter as the codename).
