Welcome to Android Central! It may have been rooted, or running a custom ROM. Is it otherwise affecting the normal usage of your phone?

I'm sure @mustang7757 can help if the phone needs to be reverted back to stock.

The forums not loading fast seems to be a glitch so responding might not be fast

It doesnt seem to be affecting the normal usage of the phone. Frankly, wouldn't even have noticed if this error didn't pop up when i tried updating the system software

Did you read the thread I linked?

You said you bought it a week ago. Did you buy it new or used?

could i possibly still get assistance from you guys... i just want to have a normaal phone like aa normal person...right now im too scared to even put my email on the phone because i dont know what the possibilities are of what can happen
i also noticed that when i turn the phone off and on, it gives the following message

Okay, probably means your phone was rooted at some point or it could be your bootloader is unlocked.
As stated earlier, the best way would be to flash the latest stock firmware.
Or return the phone if possible and let the seller deal with it. First factory reset it as it'll have personal information on it.
Come to think of it, a factory reset should re-lock the bootloader if I remember correctly.

I didn't see a link from Mustang's post. I just notified him via outside messaging. Hopefully he will see it and post soon.
To give a skinny guide on flashing a stock ROM, you need a PC program called Odin (or the other one Mustang listed) and the correct zip file for your phone. Odin can take care of the rest. Flashing a new ROM (the equivalent of installing a fresh version of Windows) will wipe the device, so I would recommend backing everything up while we wait for Mustang to reply.

It just means you unlock the bootloader and can put custom ROM , to close it should go to developer settings and turn OEM off

As I recall locking doesn't wipe; unlocking does. I could be wrong though.

Don't see it either
Will post it up if OP still wants to go forward

Your right

I can never keep that straight. Either way back it up first.

I can help when flashing the stock firmware where it won't delete user data
