I’ve always wished if at-least Google devices could come with unlocked bootloader, you know it kind of feels.. Wow! But that doesn’t seem to be happening ─ Nexus S had locked bootloader and now the Galaxy Nexus too have locked bootloader.

Anyway it doesn’t kill the fun at all, these nexus devices comes so smart that you just have to type a single line of command to unlock the bootloader, and that’s ─ fastboot oem unlock.

How To Unlock Galaxy Nexus Bootloader

Below’s a step by step guide for folks who’re not much familiar with fastboot and stuff like that. Here you go:

1. Download the following two files
   1. Download and install Android SDK → from here [Make sure you install Google USB Driver and Platform tools from SDK Manager]
   2. Fastboot files from here.
2. Now put your phone in fastboot mode:
   1. Switch off your phone
   2. Hold the Volume Up Key + Volume Down Key and then press the Power button.
   3. You’ll now see a Android robot. And text below it would read “FASTBOOT MODE” in red.
3. Extract the Fastboot.zip file on your PC
4. Now open the Fastboot folder ─ hold Shift key and Right click at any empty space inside the folder, and select “Open command window here“
5. Now connect your phone to your PC using USB cable, and then type fastboot devices in the command prompt to make sure your device is recognized.
6. And now to unlock the bootloader, type this in the command prompt:
   fastboot oem unlock
7. Accept the request on your phone by selecting Yes using the Volume button and then press thePower button to confirm (see image above)
   Enjoy!

1. Having problems connecting your Android phone to the computer? You need to enable USB debugging mode. See here: How to Enable USB Debugging — for Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean.

2. Make sure your Android device is charged up to 80-85% battery level. This might help you: How to Check Battery Percentage. Why? Because, if your phone goes off suddenly while installing a custom ROM, flashing an official firmware update or installing mods etc. — your phone might get bricked or go dead permanently. No one wants that, right?

4. Most of the tutorials and how-to guides on Team Android are for factory unlocked Android phones and tablets. We recommend NOT to try our guides if your phone is locked to a carrier, unless we have specified the carrier name or device model.
