[Q] Secure boot error topic

Last night I had a secure boot error after I tried flashing a custom kernel over a new ROM* I also just flashed.

The ROM came pre-rooted so I downloaded freegee and tried to unlock it, but no "unlock" option; all it showed was "re-lock (restore efs)". So i assumed it was safe to flash and viola! Secure Boot Error!

I wrestled with it for about an hour, looking for a way to revive my OG without losing all my data, and I had the problem of a faulty power button. I tried VUp+VDown+Power which only turned off my device, I tried VDown+Power which put me in hard reset mode, then something interesting happened. I tried VUp+Power which after a few seconds my OG's screen flashed twich and the error message now read:

Secure Boot Error
Cause: Device unLock!! so Boot successful!

from:

Secure Boot Error
Cause: boot certification verify

The new message only shows when I reboot into recovery though, when I turn off my phone then turn on or reboot, it boots like normal.

Anyone have any idea what this is, what it means or if it means my bootloader is unlocked or not?

Decided to post it here in General since I thought this is a matter of general interest and I'm not asking for help/troubleshooting, just asking a simple question.

[Q] Secure boot error topic

hi all! I've certainly royally screwed myself over this time around.

I installed sling v3.2 and restored my apps, after restoration I tried to unlock bootloader with freegee (since it was pre-rooted) and freegee showed it was already unlocked, so I tried to flash a custom kernel and viola! this happened!

Problem is, my power button is close to broken and no amount of pressing down will turn the device off. is there anyway I can turn it off or save my Optimus G? thanks in advance!

"Can't connect to camera" while using secure lock screen (with trusted face) topic

Before I start, I would like to say I have done about an hour of google searching and scouring through the XDA forums and cannot find an answer to this anywhere, if there is one out there please point me in that direction.

Anyway, I'm using an AT&T M8, unlocked, S-Off, and converted to GPE. Running the latest lollipop OTA (5.0.1 I believe). Just today I turned on secure lock screen (pattern), and under smart unlock I turned on trusted face, which works surprisingly well. However, when I use a secure lock screen with trusted face, and I try to open the camera via the motion gesture shortcut (pickup phone in landscape and hit volume + or -) it gives me an error "Cannot connect to the camera". I have done quite a bit of trial and error and still can't get it to work correctly. I really like using this shortcut, but also really like the trusted face unlock. I'm assuming this has something to do with the front camera activating for face unlock whenever the screen comes on, and its interfering with with starting the actual camera app, but I'm really hoping there is a fix for this.

Thanks for any suggestions.
