Yesterday Google launched its Nexus One. If you are interested in getting one of this bad boy you can get it from here – Google Phone. Before the launch of Nexus One, we have posted an article – Google’s Nexus One loaded with Android is rooted. – Thanks to Paul. Knowledgeable commentators in the Android community noted that the root was only possible due to the Engineering Bootloader shipped on the devices distributed by Google, and that retail devices would likely have Locked Bootloaders. In other words, when you place an order for Nexus One, you will get a Locked Bootloader device. Again, we need to thank Paul for unlocking this Bootloader.

With just a little secret command you can unlock Nexus One’s Bootloader. When you issue this command via fastboot, Nexus One will prompt to this screen (below). Once you decide and unlock your bootloader, you can flash anything you want onto your Nexus One.

Please read the following Warning before we start the step by step tutorial on How to Unlock the Bootloader on your Nexus One.
