What Is A Bootloader?

> In literal terms, the bootloader is code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. Bootloaders basically package the instructions to boot operating system kernel and most of them also have their own debugging or modification environment. Think of the bootloader as a security checkpoint for all those partitions. 

As the bootloader kicks off before any piece of software on your device, it makes it extremely processor specific and every motherboard has its own bootloader.

Every Android phone has a bootloader that instructs the operating system kernel to boot normally. But you need to understand one thing here that as Android OS is an open source OS and is available on a variety of different hardware, every manufacturer has their own version of bootloader specific for the hardware present in its environment.

Why Bootloader's are Locked ?

> A bootloader is usually locked on smartphone by OEM because they want you to stick to their stock OS. With locked bootloader its completely impossible to flash any custom rom , recovery , kernels. If you forcefully try to install anything then it wills surely broke your hardware. 

> Still Many Manufactures are providing their smartphones with unlocked bootloader. Like Micromax , XOLO and Many other Indian and Chiniese Companies.

> On the Other hand Companies like Motorola , Google , LG , Samsung etc are giving their every smartphones or Tablets with Locked Bootloader.

* Therefore , First Step Should be Unlocking Bootloader.
