I have LG P880 and it is locked the bootloader! I hate it!

Sorry about my bad English!

Standard Nexus set up is to ship with a locked bootloader, but for those that want to tinker, it's easy to unlock.

Beware that doing so will wipe your phone, so it should be the first thing you do to it

Root/custom ROMs.

You HAVE to unlock the bootloader to root?
