Google Android SDK zip:

If, after a short period of time, you have not yet received the mail, or you have received Java Runtime Environment:

In order to ensure that you receive the email with the attachment, we suggest you
consider using a non-corporate email server as corporate servers tend to have more
stringent attachment policies. If you have not received the email at all, please check
your spam folder in your email client to check if the email was filtered out.

On your phone you will now see the
disclaimer. Please read this carefully
as this action may void your warranty.
Use the Volume buttons to highlight
your choice, and the Power button to
make your selection. If you select Yes,
your phone will be reset to its’ factory
default settings, and your bootloader
will be unlocked. If you select No, your
phone will reboot and no modifications
will have been made.
Step 11
To re-lock your bootloader, in the command prompt, type: fastboot oem lock.
Note: This will not restore the factory default lock, but will simply re-lock the bootloader
so no further changes can be made. Furthermore, if you want to unlock your bootloader
again, simply repeat step 9 with your original unlock key file to unlock your phone again.
