[International / GSM] How to unlock the bootloader using a Mac

[scary alien]

Unfortnately it was not there. That's why I was asking..

Did you ever manually flash back to stock?

I ask this because I know that when I flash back to both 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 stock (using the .tgz stock images from Google), the recovery-from-boot.p file was not present, either. In this case, I didn't have to take any additional action to prevent Android from over-flashing the custom recovery with the stock one.

When I flashed back to 4.0.1 stock and accepted the 4.0.2 OTA, that installed the recovery-from-boot.p file and I had to do the rename thing.

So, maybe there's some other mechanism going on here...? Dunno, I'd have to do more testing (flash back to stock (again ) to see...

Don't need to have that pain of starting over again! just use my method of backing up, almost as if you never wiped your beloved Galaxy Nexus!

Awesome! So you don't even need to setup the SDK? It looks like everything you need is in the superboot folder.
