I unlocked my bootloader recently and now when I start up the phone it displays the text "bad key" for a few seconds before booting up. What is the cause of this message and how can I get a normal startup message to appear?
The cause is you unlocked the bootloader...it is normal. Being able to flash a new logo.bin has been an elusive task. I started a thread here about it. So far, no success.

So, I was using Zedomax's how to root N10 tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wVlI-gWppCA#at=261)... I had everything working fine up until about 4:15 in the video when his restarts mine just gets stuck in boot loop and displays the nexus bootloader for an unlimited amount of time. My device does however show that it is unlocked because when I go back through the process it says it is already unlocked as you can see in the pictures. the first is the cmd I used and the second is what the N10 shows after "fastboot oem unlock"... I am completely lost and have tried over and over to find the problem... I have tried to unroot and restore but I cant even find a working file that isnt malicious... ANY AND ALL HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED...

I can help you get back to stock, that should fix everything. You will erase everything and have to start whatever you were working on again. So back it up before hand if you can.
So first you need to be sure you have TODAYS latest updates to the fastboot.exe program, do this by installing the SDK from Google, then launching the update manager and doing all updates. See this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38961605&postcount=5
Then you need to do what styckx says. Be sure to click 'Thanks' under his posts. The only thing that you may find is hard to understand is, if you download that from Google and it end up as .tar you have to rename it to .tgz to have it extract correclty. See this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38091931&postcount=210
EDIT - If you did oem unlock and were stuck at the X bootlogo then there is an easier fix than what I describe. You state you are stuck at bootloader. Just FYI
Good luck!

yes. that is common w/ these after oem unlock. on that fastboot screen you posted, the one you get to by holding the certain key sequence at boot - use the volume keys to select Recovery, then use the start button to boot to that mode. This confuses people because at that point it looks broken - all you see is a triangle with an error X in it (or something like that.) BUT from that screen you access another menu, do this by briefly pressing power volume up and volume down in little spurts. it sounds wierd, but you do that for up to 20 seconds and you'll finally get it. its just hard to enter so you have to do it like that otherwise you go crazy trying. once you've accessed that menu you will know because its all text. using the navigation choose 'factory wipe' and wipe it. after that your N10 will boot like normal. be aware - navigation on that text only menu is tricky.
Is this triggered by the bootloader unlock? And can I just ignore it? Is their something I must do?

I had the message and couldn't boot up at all. I was forced to flash back to stock and redo the whole process. The message was gone the second time around.

You are talking about just the normal message about checking for corruption and re locking your bootloader, press power to pause, etc. Cause that screen is normal.
Here is a link to a page with what the 3 warning levels mean.

I have not figured out how to skip the 5 seconds though. I can't find where i found my solution but there are plenty around. Custom boot animation is what you are looking for.

Sorry bad english. I have a Motorola X Style XT1572 Brazil, I rooted it once and now I am back to stock rom and it always go to bootloader screen and I dont know how to get off it.
Plus it had update to software but when it tried to update it goes to 12% and reboot to bootloader, back to 0% again and repeating about 5x and got a error that cannot update. I downloaded here the 6.0 marshmallow Latin America DS stock rom, also have the warning back everytime of unlocked bootloader.
Thx for attention and helping =)
Run "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" using Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/OS X) then reboot the phone.

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear takes the bootloader out of fastboot flashing mode, turning it on is the first step in flashing a stock ROM, but sometimes it seems to just happen... This will cause the bootloader NOT to pop-up on reboot/startup.
The bootloader unlocked screen will ALWAYS be there, forever, including the delay and vibration... You can hide it with a custom logo screen or the stock, patched logo image (look around, it's posted here)
Note you will never be able to hide the fact the bootloader was unlocked, if anyone who knows anything just starts the bootloader it will show a Status of 2, meaning relocked. That is NOT possible to be changed or hidden, and it cannot go back to a 0 (locked). Fastboot getvar all will always show the truth too.

Anyone get bricked from the last update (I assume January/December security updates). I tried to update my phone yesterday 1/7/2018. My phone basically downloaded everything, told me to restart, loaded into the bootloader 3 times - after i selected normal Boot, and then stopped and charging.
Pretty glad that I had 2 phones.. because I have a video of it bricking in front of my eyes. not sure if I can post links yet.
Any help would be reallly appreciated as I haven't modified anything on it...
Can you still boot into recovery?

try to wipe your data fastboot -w or with stock recovery
This video is the last time I could get the phone to turn on. The only signs of life I (saw) on the phone was the LED light when I tried to charge the phone -
after it ran out of battery.

The screen won't turn on or off. It's like the power button's broken even though it's still pressable. It should have battery though because I've been trying to turn it on with it plugged in.

I can't select anything in the boot loader menu, just like you all options show a black screen. Can't do anything.

You will need to side load the OTA.
You cannot unlock the boot loader unless you check OEM unlock in the developer menu.
Or, at least I have not seen it done.

OEM unlocking is ticked off. That's the issue. I've seen in some videos or posts like Chris Paton. Advising to relocate the bootloader after sideloading the beta OTA's... I followed it and now I'm in a soup.

I don't min wiping it off... But I'm unable to access those commands as my Boot loader is locked and OEM Unlocking is not toggled on. Let me know of there is anything I can do in such case.
