Unlock Nexus S Bootloader
0Since Google Nexus S is available at Best Buy, so developers might have got their hands on the new Nexus S. They will be working on the new Nexus S to access root and unlocking the bootloader. Surprisingly they have already managed to unlock the bootloader. By unlocking bootloader you can have access to install custom recovery and ROMs.
The method is same as that of the Nexus One. Before unlocking make sure that you have already installed Android 2.3 SDK and fastboot[download link at the end of the post]. We would recommend you to backup all your data because unlocking bootloader performs a factory reset of your phone.
Below are the steps on how to unlock bootloader:
- Power off your Nexus S
- Hold the Volume up + Power keys together
- After that your phone will be in the standard recovery mode
- Open command prompt (for Windows) and Terminal (for Mac), type ‘fastboot devices‘ to check that the phone is connected via USB.
- If its connected type – ‘fastboot oem unlock‘
- Accept it and the new bootloader in unlocked
Download Android 2.3 SDK and fastboot from here.

How to Copy Files with Super Fast Speed in windows 7, Vista and XP
0The default tool for copying or moving files in MS Windows is too slow. If you copy large number of files or large size files to another partition or folder at the same time you might be pissed off because of the time it will take. This delay becomes more irritating if you are using Vista or Windows 7. You will be more relieved and happier if you use third party software instead of default MS copying tool because they are capable of copying files with much faster speed.
