Method 1:
a) First insert one end of the USB to your computer
b) Turn your device off
c) Insert the other end of the USB cable to your phone
d) The red LED will turn on, immediately press and hold the “low volume” button for a few seconds until you see the Fastboot Mode on your screen
Method 2:
Open your command prompt(windows) or terminal(ubuntu) and do the following:
a) Type in the following piece of code to directly enter the bootloader/fastboot mode without going into pressing the hardware buttons-Red LED way.
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
Note: Make sure that you have enabled the USB Debugging mode before attempting any of this or will get stuck without any results.
To enable USB Debugging mode, unlock the Developer tools by touching the build number tab in your “about phone” several times. Then go to Developer tools and check the tab saying USB Debugging mode.
Unlocking:
Now that we are in the bootloader, it is time to unlock by doing nothing but typing in some simple fastboot commands as follows:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock
WARNING : This might(maybe) delete all of your data on your internal memory, so keeping a backup is advised.
Your bootloader is unlocked not at this point. Now we need to install a custom recovery to our device in order to be able to flash ROMs, boot.img’s, kernels, etc and also to make a nandroid backup.
Just feed in the following piece of command:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery recovery.img
Note: For Ubuntu users, make sure that you are in the directory where the recovery image file is. For example: If the recovery-yu.img is stored on your desktop, then you need to “cd Desktop” before you feed in the above command. The windows users must be knowing how to figure this out.
Now that the custom recovery has been installed, press the volume up + volume down + power buttonstogether for a few seconds in order to boot into the CWM recovery.
