Google shows off Android’s boot verification warning system

Google is taking steps to make Android phones safer by including a verified boot system that checks for irregularities in the platform code. And device owners will know that their phone or tablet is safe based on startup messages from the system check.

Android Police spotted an updated Nexus support page showing the three possible boot verification messages.

If Android doesn’t find any platform changes at bootup, the device will just start as it normally does. However, if there’s a potential issue detected, one of three dialog messages will appear as a warning.
