Yes, the bootloader is locked on the Nexus 7.  Don’t worry, you can unlock it.  Follow these simple directions:

First, you need to put it in USB debugging mode.  Next, you need to make sure you have the Android SDK installed on your computer. Finally, you need to use the fastboot oem unlock command.

We recommend you unlock it before loading all your data and apps on it as unlocking the bootloader will wipe the device.

I’m a 30 year old living in Houston, TX. I’m a convert to the Android OS platform. I switched from BlackBerry to Android about two years ago. I used both devices side by side until I decided that the Android platform was for me.

I’m always reading about the latest and greatest technology coming up. If you’d like to know anything else, feel free to contact me!
