Process

  1. On your phone, go to Settings >> Developer Options and tick the USB Debugging setting.
  2. Also, enable OEM unlock in Developer Options.
  3. Install ADB and Fastboot, if you haven’t already.
  4. Note the location of the logo.bin file in your local memory. For best performance, keep it in the same folder as your Fastboot installation.
  5. Turn off your smartphone and unplug it from any socket or power outlet.
  6. Boot it into bootloader by pressing and holding down the volume down and power buttons together for around 6 seconds.
  7. When the bootloader screen comes on, connect the device to your PC.
  8. On your PC, open File Explorer and navigate to the location of the logo.bin file, right-click on an empty space in the window while holding the shift key on your keyboard. Then select Open command window here to launch a command prompt for that file location.
  9. Run the following command in the command prompt: fastboot flash logo logo.bin.
  10. The above command sets the boot logo to the logo.bin you downloaded. Now run fastboot reboot in the command line to reboot the smartphone.

And voila! you’re done removing the warning message that appears on reboot when you unlock the bootloader of your Moto G6 and Moto G6 Plus.
