h3. Software configuration

The booloader of this device have two software interface to load code:

* Fastboot which is the primary interface to use to install Replicant which has been tested. It can be accessed by holding the volume-down, volume-up and power key combination while powering up the device.

* Heimdall can be used after holding the volume-down and power key combination while powering up the device, however interface has not been tested beside gathering logs with print-pit, so proceed with care. See [[GalaxyNexusI9250Pit]] for PIT partition table.
