How to Unlock Bootloader of Chinese Samsung Galaxy using CROM

The limits include no sign of anything Google on the phone. Galaxy smartphones in China do not have any applications like the Google Play Store, Google Play Music, Youtube etc. Another restriction on these devices is the locked bootloader. That sounds weird right? A Samsung Galaxy with a locked bootloader? Well, that’s actually right. The phones in China are as same as the phones released by different carriers.
