How do I unlock the bootloader on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus? I have a LTE (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy Nexus. How do I go about unlocking the bootloader such that I can root the device?
Full instructions can be found here.

In short:


Install SDK
Get the Fastboot.exe and place in your SDK/tools
Turn on USB debugging on phone
Connect to PC via USB
Using adb, run adb reboot bootloader
At the bootloader, run fastboot oem unlock
Accept dialog to unlock bootloader
Start phone, phone will reboot, do not battery pull!


Afterwards, you can get root access.
