and your carrier. Sometimes, your carrier and your phone manufacturer can
make it di cult for you to unlock bootloader/root your phone. Nexus phones are
easy to unlock bootloader and root your device. And that is what I am going to be NAVIGATION

Step 5. Move the SuperSu.zip le to your phone's root directory. Basically Move
zeek!
SuperSu le to your phone, like you normally do to transfer songs to the music
folder, this time to directory.

Step 6. Make sure ADB recognize your device by running the following command
"adb devices" in Command Prompt. See the following image.

Step 7. Start the device in bootloader mode.

Turn the device o , then turn it on and immediately hold down the relevant key
combination for your device. For example, to put a Nexus 5 ("hammerhead") into
fastboot mode, press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power as the device
begins booting up. You will be seeing the following screen. If you got so far, you
are doing good.

Step 8. Unlock the Nexus device using the following command

Nexus 6 and older the command to unlock the bootloader is "fastboot oem
unlock"

Nexus 5x/6p and newer the command is "fastboot ashing unlock"

Step 9. Your device bootloader is unlocked.

Step 10. Flash TWRP recovery or CM Recovery (Find the appropriate recovery for
your devices here "/home/leaving?target=https%3A%2F%2Ftwrp.me%2F" class="Popup"

Step 11. I suggest changing the recovery le name to just "recovery," it will be
easier to ash. Flash recovery using the following command "fastboot ash
recovery recovery.img"

Step 12. You can now get into recovery by navigating to it in the bootloader using
the volume buttons and select Recovery option and press the power button. You
will be greeted by the following screen

Step 13. The last step is to Install SuperSu, which allows you to root your device.
Navigate the SuperSu le, which we put earlier in the root directory. Go to Install
 and search for SuperSu le and click on the le to select and Swipe to the Right to
install the SuperSu. Now your phone is rooted.

Step 14. Once the installation is done, Revert back to main Recovery page and Hit
the Reboot button and then Click on System

Note: No one will be held responsible, if you mess up while unlocking bootloader
or rooting a device. Please proceed with caution. Please follow tutorials on
YouTube and also follow XDA for speci c model. Thanks for checking out the
Content.

Heck yeah! Thanks!

Just wanted to let y'all know that you can do this in Ubuntu also. Just type in a
terminal to install ADB and Fastboot...

sudo apt-get -y install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Then follow the instructions as above.
