Nexus 5x 32gb

My Nexus turned off and no longer shows signs of life. The PC defines as 9008. Is the problem still unresolvable?

If it does not turn on - yeah - I would call that pretty much dead!! You could try installing a new battery, but who knows if that is the problem...

I have a 5X 32GB and have tried everything to recover my phone. Flashed the TOT file and applied latest OTA, tried to modify the recovery on the TOT file but nothing with success.

I'm in doubt if is software or hardware failure because last night I reflashed TOT file and applied latest OTA to Android O and the boot animation changed and it lead to think that it must be a software failure.

Can somebody help me?

Nexus 5x H790 32GB on Android 7.x, locked bootloader, boot loop, couldn't enter recovery but could enter fastboot.

Flashing the TOT failed at various percentages (7-15%), leaving a broken mix of software. Failure was due to a hardware issue (sh!tty BGA solder connections, like the early Xbox 360s or the LG G4).

The mainboard was reflowed and I was able to complete the TOT flash (upgrade, not refurb) then sideload the 7.1.2 OTA image via ADB in recovery mode and recover all of my wife's data after it booted to the full OS.

For the hardware failure folks, this thread won't help you. If you tried and failed mid-flash you probably soft bricked your phone on top of having a hardware issue. If you have the board professionally serviced you can still recover.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND TOSSING YOUR MAINBOARD IN THE OVEN.

Hi,

from the device manager I can see only this:

Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

I think I need to re-build everything starting from there and QFIL tool. Do you know how to proceed?

I think I need also these files:

rawprogram.xml

patch.xml

Is that correct? If yes, please can you share also that files?

Thanks you.

This is exactly my situation. Flashing TOT failed at 12% so I went back to fastboot and flashed stock rom (it can't even finish flashing system partition...). Most of the times it shows up as a "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" device.

Luckily I have an RMA on the way (although I ordered mine on Sep. 2015). I just want to see if I can get any data out.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Yes, modemst1 and modemst2 are the efs partition.

I extracted some tot files for other devices and in every case for every image the file size is always multiple of 524288 bytes.

So now I will add padding bytes to the images and redo everything.

Sure, you could set the last byte of the deticated factory reset protection partition from 0x00 to 0x01 to enable oem unlocking, but right now I cannot tell which partition is for factory reset protection and what is the right command to flip that bit. Maybe some advanced users who have mastered the dd command can help out.

I would advice to you to stay away from using tot files until it is proven working.

Lets try planB https://mega.nz/#!TsAgVQwS!eXY3XxOGpakD7QTGEpYndc_x9_zhDJcbmkjbl0dsrxU

First install LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.msi

Then install LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23.msi

Connect your phone in download mode.

Start LGUP from the desktop.

You should be able to select your device from a list.

Then on the next screen select refurbish or upgrade ( I dont really know what is the differance, but if I can guess refurbish wipes the userdata while upgrade does not)

Click on the line where it says BIN file so the button with "..." will come up and you can click on it to select the tot file

Click on start

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_uker:
My phone (a 32 GB H790) is in a kinda weird state.

It won't turn on and won't show any signs of life when I plug the charger in, but I can consistently get it to start in fastboot mode or download mode by pressing vol+ or vol- along with the power button for 10 seconds.

Also, there's times when Windows says there was an error querying the device's identifiers and it shows up as "Unknown device" in device manager, and a couple of times it's started in this mode where it's detected as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" and assigned a COM port.

The thing is, I managed to get it working with LGUP but at about 87% into the process LGUP said "Rebooting phone (20s)", and the phone restarted and sit for a while at the Google logo.

Then LGUP showed "Rebooting phone (150s)" and the screen went black.

Meanwhile the progress percentage in LGUP kept going, until it eventually reached 100% and said "Operation complete, click to finish" or something to that effect, but the phone never came back.

After this, entering the bootloader and selecting "Power off" had the battery-charging screen going for a while (which normally doesn't show), but upon checking, the device appears to be in the exact same state as it was before.

Wasn't the LGUP flash supposed to at least make my bootloader unlockable?

Any ideas are welcome. It's kinda jarring to have a device that seems alive enough able to stay for hours in fastboot without dying, yet being unable to do much else with it.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berndblb:
LGUP never really finished for me either, but it got me a working stock recovery back. Check if you can boot into recovery from fastboot, then sideload the full OTA. Saved my bacon...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_uker:
I have this other half-dead N5X for which LGUP didn't finish.

The phone always rebooted halfway through, but by means of insisting and just retrying over and over, I got it to finish and the phone is left in a somewhat usable state.

While before it was in a bootloop and wouldn't even enter recovery, it now finishes booting, but it's stuck on Android 6.0.1 (the version in the TOT) and will probably die whenever I try to update it to a newer one.

I tried sideloading 7.1.2 and the phone reboots halfway through and it's back to the initial state (bootloops, no recovery...)

Guess I'll just leave it at that.

I'm having a hard time getting my head around the non-deterministic behaviour of these things. I'm a programmer and in the world of computing, there's no such thing as "it will randomly fail 9 out of 10 times but it will eventually work and then it will start working correctly as if nothing had happened".

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flatpedals:
Check the build number shown in stock recovery. Most likely it's different from the one you sideload. So any flashing doesn't fully stick and eMMC is most likely fried. Or just the proc's soldering is toast.

In any case, it's done. Brick. Unless you do some reflowing on the chips.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RareKiwi:
I got my Nexus 5x H798 (Hong Kong variant I believe) over a year ago around April last year. Been running stock ROMs with TWRP and SuperSU since then. Tried the 3rd developer preview for Android O on Thursday with TWRP and experimental SuperSU which was running fine. At some point, it got borked up and continually rebooted while I was away.

After powering on (after unplugging battery) it will show the unlocked bootloader screen and then the white google logo before getting stuck with no display. (If plugged into windows PC I can hear it connect, but only the first time). Battery logo shows full when connected to pc or power supply.

Recovery and bootloader don't work.

I can get it to download mode and after the screen goes black it shows on windows connected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)

LG UP doesn't seem to recognize it.

And there's no TOT file I can find for H798.

Any thoughts? Should I just get it repaired (replace board I'm guessing)? Do they even repair these anymore?

There is no QFil Rom to fix that. My phone also hardbricked and LGUP dont recognize it. It started randomly reboot until next day didnt turn on the screen. Also it recognize it as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. My model is H791. It wont turn on into bootloader or recovery... i did a research and I thinked that is something messed up with eMMC. But question is how from nowhere the Nexus 5X hardbricked. Maybe its manufacturer defect? or something else? I have absolutelly NO IDEA.

I dont know if they can check the hardbricked phone (as pc detects it as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008) for root or modifications.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicemike:
When using LGUP to flash a tot leave the phone connected until LGUP reaches 100%. It is normal for the phone to reboot at around 80%.

After flashing a tot you need to sideload an OTA. Use the oldest OTA that can be flashed to the device based on the tot build. The build is visible at the top of the stock recovery screen. The OTA must match or be more recent than the tot build.

DO NOT flash a 7.0 or more recent OTA. The phone will continue to bl if you do.

Ater flashing the OTA give the phone time to boot. It may loop once but let it go. When it boots fully you can go to settings and enable bootloader unlock in developement. Then you can flash a full factory image.

If this process doesn't cure the bl then you most likely have the hardware failure issue. You can check the thread in the Nexus 5x General section about flashing a kernel that disables the big cores. Some people report good luck with that method.

Hi. My nexus is the H791F. I LGup'ed the H791 firmware, and as everyone i was stuck at google logo. I got access to adb sideload, so i just flashed the OTA rigth after myt version number.

My nexus 5x was on android 8.0.0, bricked with locked bootloader before LGUP. The version installed by LGUP was 6.0/MDA89E/2296692, so i sideloaded the 6.0.1.

After a (not-so-long) reboot, adnroid started updating until 7.1.1, and now it's working like a charm, stock firmware.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stojshic:
Just a quick note. You can freely disconnect the phone and close LGUP when it reaches 80/81% and phone reboots. After that, reboot to bootloader, and adb sideload OTA package. No need to wait for LGUP to go to 100%. I know that for sure, because I use LG up all the time to fix LG G3/G4, and after 80% it does nothing, just waits for the phone to boot...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lrnv:
Could the OP add to the first post the fact that after LGUP you need to sideload an OTA that has the number juste after the version number showed in recovery to get you up and running again ?

This is stable only for round about 15 seconds, afterwards the phone reboots. The power button is not stuck, it works normal!

My PC doesn't detect anything, when I plug in the phone in download mode, so windows doesn't install any drivers or something else. The device manager also does not show an aditional entry.

Hi,

i've found this thread while searching for a solution to bypass the google FRP, because one of my students had the phone locked and i didn't noticed it, until i allready hard resetted the phone. After this we had the problem, that the student can't login again to unlock the phone so as i said before, i tried to bypass the FRP. I've tried many solutions, but since i had android 7.1.2 installed, most of them didn't work.

Then i found this thread and first thing was, that i have the 16GB version of the h791 and thought, that this won't work, but as i didn't hat any other solution, i just gave this method a try.

After just flashing the 32GB Tot i had a boot loop and flashed the 6.0.1 (MHC19Q) OTA from the official site via sideload. After this, i could boot normally and everything is fine. No FRP, just a clean install.

Now i just made this account to thank you and tell others, who may have a similar problem, how to solve this.

Best,
