Unlock the bootloader

This procedure will wipe all data on your device's internal memory and void the warranty.

4. Connect your device to your computer and open a command prompt, terminal, or shell on your computer.
5. Run the following command:
   

   fastboot oem unlock

   Note: If you do not have the fastboot executable, make sure you followed the instructions for setting up the Android SDK properly. Failing that, you can download it for Windows and Linux.
   

   Note: On Windows, if fastboot returns with Waiting for device, download the Samsung USB drivers, install them, then right-click the "Android 1.0" device in Device Manager, select "Update Driver Software...", "Browse my computer for driver software", "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer", "Samsung Android Phone", "Next", and if given a choice of drivers, select the newest one and finish the driver installation. Aferwards re-run the fastboot command.

   Note: On Linux, if fastboot returns with Waiting for device, run it as root.

6. On your device, a prompt will appear and confirm that you wish to unlock your bootloader, and warn that doing so will void your warranty. If you agree to those terms, press Volume Up to select Yes, and then the Power button to confirm.
7. Your device will wipe its internal memory, and then reboot.

   Note: If it does not, use the volume keys to select the "Recovery" option. In Recovery, press both Volume keys and the power button simultaneously, use the volume keys to select Factory Reset, and power to confirm.
