But if we really ask the users, some are of the opinion that they would instead prefer to use a compact device that fits in their palm. If you are also on the lookout for one such smartphone, then Jelly 2 might checkmark most of your requirements. It boasts of an exciting USP, being the “world’s smallest Android 10 4G smartphone”. With a 3-inch screen, global LTE support, 2000mAh battery, and the size of a credit card, there’s a lot to look forward to. Along the same lines, the device has been massively popular among tech enthusiasts. There are already a plethora of mods and tweaks already available for this smartphone. On your end, you only need to unlock the bootloader on your Jelly 2 phone. And this guide shall help you with just that. So without further ado, let’s get started.
Benefits and Risks on Unlocked Bootloader
Once you unlock the bootloader, you will be in a position to try out a plentitude of customizations. These include the likes of installing custom ROMs, flashing custom recovery like TWRP, or even gaining access to the system partition. This in turn is possible by rooting your device via Magisk (with or without TWRP). Once rooted, you will be able to try out mods such as Substratum Themes, Xposed Frameworks, Magisk Modules, etc. But this is just one side of the story. On the flip side, unlocking the bootloader will wipe off all the data and could also nullify the device’s warranty. Likewise, WideVine L1 will be degraded to L3, hence you wouldn’t be able to watch Netflix in HD [here’s the fix!]. Likewise, banking apps might not fiction on rooted devices [again, there’s a fix!]. So if that’s all well and good, then let’s start off with the steps to unlock the bootloader on your Jelly 2 device.
How to Unlock Bootloader on Jelly 2 Phone
The below instructions are listed under separate sections for ease of understanding. Make sure to follow in the exact same sequence as mentioned. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking
Next up, you will also have to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your device. The former will make your device recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. This will then allow you to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. On the other hand, OEM Unlocking is required to carry out the bootloader unlocking process. So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number around 10 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.
