Unlocking the Bootloader:

Turn the phone off.
Then boot it into the bootloader/fastboot mode by holding volume up + volume down + power.

STEP 2:

Open a command console and go to the directory where you have extracted adb and fastboot
Type the following command in the console:

$ fastboot devices

NOTE:
This command will list the connected devices.
If your phones serial number shows up you are good to go and may continue.
If the phone is NOT listed this indicates that your drivers are not installed correctly.
In order for you to continue you must configure your drivers properly so that your phone is listed under fastboot devices.

STEP 3:

If the phone has been recognized by the command above, proceed to unlocking the bootloader with the following command::
