I've just purchased a nexus 5 and I'm rather inpatient to get cm11 flashed and I wanted to know if there's any new method of unlocking the boot loader without access to a PC ? Maybe with that new cm installer ? Anyone tried that method yet ?

I wanted to buy the mobile odin app
For ease of OTA updating with official firmware files and keeping root but I have read on the app store purchase page something about the boot loader having to be unlocked before you use it so iam not sure what to do .
I do not want it for custom roms just stock firmware I just like having the root access .Iam on 4.1.2 uk note 2 and would just like some advice on this before I purchase it thanks

There are some devices with a locked boot loader. The a t and t galaxy s4 does for example. However I don't think the note 2 does not. So u should be just fine using Mobile odin

Guys I'm new on Nexus phones .
I have my phone rooted ,custom ROM installed ,etc.
Now for some reason of CyanogenMod ,I have to update my bootloader :/
How do I do that ,do I need to re-root my device after the update?
Where can I get that update?
Thanks

There's a zip in the cm11 thread so.I'm lead to believe. Or download from Google factory images and fastboot flash

How exactly do you do this since I don't know much outside just rooting my phone. I would want to know how to flash (using safest way available) a CWM Recovery without bricking my phone or my mom would kill me! I would want to flash custom roms and kernels here.

Do I need to have a unlocked bootloader for this? If so how exactly do you do it. Would it factory reset my phone?

Hi all i have rooted my tab2 and its working fine but does this mean my bootloader is unlocked? if not how can i find out if this is unlocked.
BTW Im using a 7inch wifi version p3110
Your boot loader should be unlocked, I do not believe any tab 2 devices were locked.

Bootloaders are not locked in Samsung devices as hTc and Sony, They just have a flash counter for flashing unofficial firmware, rooting, etc.
It can be reset in some Samsung devices using TriangleAway app by Chainfire.
This is not an entirely true statement. at and t and a few other carriers boot loader lock their tablets now. But the tab 2 is not one of them.

Well they are locked only as you say in Network Locked samsung devices
Thanks guys does this mean i can flash roms on this device now ?
Also a quick question, is flashing roms on tab 2 the same as a huawei phone like using CWM, wiping delvik cache etc.
Yes install cwm or your preference then install the ROM like other devices
