Can this be done on the Mac? I didn't see any posts about it successfully working in Mac OS X

And what about custom roms with NOT unlockable bootloader ?
Or maybe an unofficially way to unlock bootloader?

Hi! Tell how to restore the NCK counter? There is an unblocking code, but the number of attempts isn't present!

You must open your file manager, before you connect in mod fastboot, once the manager is open you do volume up and you plug the USB. Of S1 boot appears that you do is right quickly clim

Open up 'Device Manager' [Right Click on My Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager], and then connect your phone in the Fast Boot Mode to your PC [pressing the Volume Up button while switched off]. As soon as the phone is connected, you will see the new device in the Device Manager by the name of "S1 Semcboot" (or something similar). Right click on it and select Update/Install drivers -> Choose the driver location and then install.
Do not wait for Windows to auto-install the driver because there is no option to manually search for Drivers.
