[Verizon] Relocking bootloader mac problem

[AdrianC14]

Hello I am trying to relock the bootloader on my GN with a Mac. I am at the very last step where I have already unrooted and just need to reboot into the bootloader to relock it. Problem is, my volume down button is broken so I can't get into the bootloader that way and every time I put the command ./fastboot-mac reboot-bootloader, it keeps saying <waiting for device> Please help I need to return it because my volume down button is broken!

You might need to prefix that with "sudo ./fastboot-mac reboot-bootloader" (at least that was necessary for Linux...not sure if that's really required for the Mac).

That might do the trick for you (if not, hopefully a Mac rooter who really knows will chime-in here).

Good luck .

Cheers!

Hey also, if adb is working for you, you should also be able to do an adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot-bootloader command too.

I've never done that while Android is and running (I usually do it while in CWM), but I don't see why it wouldn't work for you.

You'll need USB debugging enabled, of course, but you shouldn't need root.

Cheers!
