Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P are the latest Nexus devices from Google. The developers are working very hard to develop custom ROMs for the new devices, therefore, a developer from XDA “Lexmazter” has created a tool for Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P that can easily unlock the bootloader of Nexus devices. Unlocking bootloader is required prior to flash custom recovery and rooting the device.
To root Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P you need to unlock the bootloader. Therefore this tool will come handy and you can easily perform the task with few clicks. Lexmazter has created a tool that can unlock and lock the bootloader, backup the device via ADB and can sideload the files. It can also flash a custom recovery, but as of now no custom recovery is available for new Nexus devices therefore this feature will not work as of now.
