Line 2: [[File:Bootloader Android HTC Pico.JPG\|right\|thumb\|An unlocked bootloader, showing additional available options]] '''Bootloader unlocking''' is the process of disabling the [[bootloader]] security that enforces [[secure boot]] during the boot procedure. It can allow advanced customizations and custom ROMS possible, such as installing [[custom firmware]]. On [[smartphones]], this can be a custom Android distribution or another mobile [[operating system]]. Some bootloaders are not locked at all and some are locked, but can be unlocked with a command, a setting or with assistance from the manufacturer. Some do not include an unlocking method and can only be unlocked through a [[software exploit]].
