We continued by dipping your feet into Flashing Nexus-based Android phones which provided you with a good grasp on how these devices can be restored to factory settings should anything go wrong. Leo also did a follow up podcast to this where he demonstrated the Nexus root toolkit , which gives you the ability to flash any rom after unlocking and rooting the bootloader of your Nexus.
