Hi,
I have a Galaxy Nexus GSM (Vodafone UK). I am on my 5th handset because they keep developing the same fault: refusing to charge, whether I plug the phone into an AC socket or to a computer the handset refuses to charge. I have to keep re-connecting it to a PC until it starts to charge.
I now have requested my insurance provider to give me a cash settlement for the phone instead of another refurbished replacement handset. My plan is to purchase a Nexus 4 instead.
My phone has a locked bootloader which needs to be relocked before I send it back to the insurance company. However, my latest handset is never recognised by my computers (my desktop at home, my work laptop and my housemate's living room pc). Therefore I cannot relock the bootloader using Nexus Toolkit or similar.
I tried installing the "Bootunlocker" app from the Play store but as my phone is not rooted this will not work.
Does anyone have either:
a) a fix for the device not showing up on the computer (I have tried reinstalling all drivers)
b) a way to relock the bootloader without using a computer, or needing a rooted phone
c) a way to root the phone without using a computer, so that I can use Bootunlocker
