Hacking and modifications
Users are able to root the device by unlocking its bootloader using the fastboot command "fastboot oem unlock". Unlocking the bootloader allows the user to install other firmware images that give the user root access, and even other bootloaders. Obtaining root privileges enables a user to override protected operating system features, install arbitrary software and enable internet tethering to share the phone's 3G network connection over Wifi among other things.
Upon running the fastboot command, the user is presented with a Google-created screen stating that unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty

4. That’s it your bootloader is unlocked.
CAUTION:Do it at your own risk.
