If you're not familiar, a bootloader is a piece of software that loads up when you turn on your device. It's the first thing that runs in the background when you power on your phone or tablet. For example, it will run while Android is booting up or while you're taking an update. The best way to make money with this method is by unlocking peoples phone's bootloader and installing custom ROMs. This will allow them to get more out of their device and put it to better use. For example, if you have an older Samsung Galaxy S4, you can install CyanogenMod on it and unlock its full potential as well as increase battery life by replacing TouchWiz with a new operating system that won't drain your battery as much. Here's how it works:
Unlock Your Bootloader – This process varies depending on what phone you have but in general, all manufacturers except Google allow users to unlock their bootloaders after they've purchased their phones from them at full price (prepaid carriers). Once unlocked, users can flash custom ROMs onto their devices and enjoy its peak function. As good as this may sound for making money and personal use, you could get your phone or customers phone bricked if you get this process wrong.
