Is it possible I got my Galaxy Nexus with an unlocked bootloader? I bought it a week ago and I'm basically ready to ditch stock and start flashing.
So, I just tried to enter Fastboot mode to see how it looks like. It says:
Fastboot mode
Product name - tuna
Variant - Maguro
blah
blah
blah
lock state - unlocked.
Mine was unlocked when I got it ...directly from Verizon lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Cool. just checking.
Hi, phone from my friend is in a bootloop, stuck on google logo. Phone is in the service now but I have a question, I was searching different guides for a fix and they all require unlocked bootloader but phone is locked and you need to Enable OEM Unlock in developer settings which is not possible atm.
But my question is this, why does nexus 5x requires unlocked bootloader if I want to reflash factory image ? Isn't locked bootloader only if you want to flash custom software, did I miss something with nexus 5x ? I am using Oneplus One so i am not sure what's the thing with nexus. I found basic guide to reflash factory image and in one of the steps it says bootloader needs to be unlocked.
Because the factory image cannot fix the problem. You will need a custom kernel which disable the big cores.
In order to unlock bootloader, you can heat up your phone (using a hairdrier) to boot temporarily. Google with "nexus 5x bootloop hair dryer".
Got my Nexus 5X dead from HW bootloop. Had it with OEM unlocked. Cant turn it up in any way (bootloader, fastboot...)
I asked for warranty to LG. Should I send it?
