[International / GSM] unlocking the bootloader HELP

[AlexKP]

am I the only one that uses an imac here? I'm tryin to unlock the bootloader on my gnex using an imac but there doesn't seem to be any useful instructions on how to do that...if anyone can help I would really appreciate it

Also in the same boat. I am getting stuck when trying to direct the terminal to my GNEX folders I downloaded. Trying to hold off doing much to the phone before I unlock it...
so this is frustrating!

Awesome! I think I just did it! I'll make a new thread with detailed step by step instructions once I confirm that it's good to go. It's currently booting up and may take a while as it wipes everything...*fingers crossed*

there have been multiple posts in here today involving Mac users

also in how to root guide it has mac/linux instructions.

I don't know about all those but I found the way I did it fairly simple so I will make a thread and hopefully it'll be helpful.
