Date With Techie

You might have heard of the BootUnlocker app baked up by XDA Senior member segv11 which allowed the Android users to unlock and re-lock bootloader without wiping the data. This app supported all the Nexus devices except both the generations of Nexus 7. It seems that the developer doesn't want the Asus manufactured Qualcomm based Nexus 7 (2013) users to go unnoticed by his app. Here comes BootUnlocker v1.5.1 with its support extended to 2013 edition WiFi and LTE versions of Nexus 7. Sadly, the Tegra 3 chipset based Nexus 7 is still unsupported and the chances are minimum due to technical limitations.


Since the last OTA, Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 began setting the tamper flag when the bootloader is tampered or unlocked. This new version of BootUnlocker offers a solution with the ability to toggle the tamper flag on Nexus 4 (mako) and Nexus 5 (hammerhead).
