Unlock the bootloader in a nexus with fastboot
If you have a device of the range Nexus is possible you have the intention of unlocking your bootloader. In this way you will be able to perform advanced actions and personalization in the terminal in question (for example can be from a Nexus 5 until the tablet Nexus 10). To achieve this one of the best options that exist is the use of fastboot, which is part of the adb tool.
The commands and basic concepts of the adb tool the explained yesterday, and as we announce to you we are going to go publishing options for use to advantage. An example is the proceeding to unlock the bootloader of the Nexus of Google, something that allows, for example, install ROMs in the devices in a simple way and that, moreover, is a process completely reversible.
Beginning of unlocking your Nexus
The first thing you must have, apart from the own Nexus, is a USB connecting cable (to be the original); the ADB SDK that is downloaded to this link and there is a need to install; and activate the debug options on your own telephone or tablet, which is done in the own phone or tablet. Apart, we recommend that you make a backup of the database - it already that will be deleted - and install the drivers of Google in the computer, which are downloaded here.
Now you must perform the following steps in the order indicated and without skipping any to unlock the bootloader from the Nexus using the adb tool:
- Before anything opens a command prompt window on Windows. Writes ADB devices and if a serial number is displayed, is that the device nexus has been recognized.
- Now, without turning off your phone or tablet, writes adb reboot-bootloader, which will run a specific routine.
- Once inside the bootloader in the command window type the following: fastboot oem unlock. A confirmation appears to be accepted and is when data will be erased for privacy reasons.
- You already have unlocked the bootloader of your Nexus.
Once this is done, you can perform different actions, which you will speak in other articles, but we now believe that the that you should know is to return to the original state in which it was the Nexus. To do this, simply follow the steps above and in the third, what you write is the following:
- Fastboot oem lock
Now the terminal has the bootloader protected and no actions can be performed advanced customization.
