RED STATE ALERT​

image View attachment 4839141

see image – this is different from above one. In this error will be like this “your device will shutdown in 30secs”

This type of warning appears if you relock your bootloader with custom rom, kernel, recovery, or with magisk root / or faulty boot.img / or faulty recovery.img

So, for this type of warning you can do below steps

a.	Unlock your bootloader via unofficial method> remove root (by flashing magisk uninstaller) and remove custom recovery (by flashing official recovery) and then relock bootloader

b.	Or you can flash fast boot (service) rom but in this you will lose all your internal storage
