  2. Preparing For Flashing
    • Unlock Bootloader
    • Unlocking bootloader for windows users will be very easy by downloading free of charge a TOOLKITS applications build by SKIPSOFT and for guide and instruction XDA FORUM for Galaxy Nexus is the best guide. Go and grab the toolkit. Unfortunately, I'm a linux user and can not use the Toolkits, however manual unlocking Ganex bootloader is easier and simpler in Linux.
