What are Yellow, Red and Orange state warnings?
They are verified boot states. You'll get these on some devices after either unlocking the Bootloader or flashing a modified / non-factory-signed file to the device (usually on a locked bootloader). Red State is often synonymous with a brick.
- Green state means the device is locked or
verified, the keystore is verified with an OEM key, and that the boot
image was verified by the keystore
- Yellow state means that an alternate keystore was used to verify the boot image
- Orange state indicates that the device is unlocked, so no verification was done.
- Red state means that a device in the locked or verified state had a boot image that did not verify.
The warnings look something like:
Quote:Red State
Your device has failed verification and may not.....work properly...Please download %s image with correct signature.....or disable verified boot....Your device will reboot in 5 seconds
Quote:Orange State
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..Your device will boot in 5 seconds
Requirements
- LK.bin or .img either from your device's firmware or backed up / dumped from the device
- Hex Editor (HXD @ https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ is used in this guide)
