[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexAiS:
I have H791 16Gb in hands, can enter download mode but don't know how to make necessary backups of PrimaryGPT and BackupGPT partitions. All I can is making of full nand dump (16Gb in size) via octoplus box. Will it help? It takes a lot of time, so if it is possiple to make backup of necessary partitions faster, it would be great. please provide any instruction how to do that.

contact me on skype (walkmanmaster) or via whatsapp or viber (+380678O21O99). thanks

can't go to recovery / download mode , but can go to bootloader , flashing firmware with adb / NRT doesn't boot the phone . any suggestion ?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
You can't flash the factory images with ADB. NRT? I'm guessing that is a magical toolkit? Flash the factory images manually with fastboot and let us know how it goes.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David:
i did , manually 1 by 1 , stuck at google logo , then it's go to bootanimation but on bootanimation it's going lag , like freezing , the phone died again .
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
fastboot flash twrp, boot into twrp, format data, put a rom on the phone (one with a kernel with force encrypt disabled, PureNexus for example), flash rom (and gapps if you want, make sure to wipe everything but internal storage), report back.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David:
i did flash twrp , but when i go to recovery its still dead , even i did flash stock recovery , still same problem .
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
When you flash a recovery, what is the output of the terminal? Please post the text here.

Please expound on 'dead'. Black screen? Black screen with white text? Black screen with text that says "DEAD"? Red firetruck with brown potato?

How are you trying to enter recovery?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David:
pardon me , the phone i give it to my father friends ,

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David:
nope , i gave it cause i think he can repair it , i just asking here for suggestion .

btw he say he need dump system , what is dump system ?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
A system dump isn't going to do diddly squat. Your problem is either with the way you are flashing or its a hardware failure. I cant help you with a hardware issues and since you dont have access to the phone troubleshooting your flashing method is impossible. Good luck.

I just use LGUP to flash the .tot. after that, I got the message about internal erro. when I seetting my google account, the phone reboot. when I back to Android, it ask me to input a password. it looks like the login screen which ask the password.

The problem now is that it get boot loop or demigod crash, can't even back to password page. And I tried LGUP at least 10 times, but fail every, still trying.

I have the same problem, I have tried to flash stock image (from google), ít's still lag/freeze at logo boot and causing boot loop. I only go to fastboot mode (bootloader)

I also flashed trwp, but when I go to recovery mode, it's still lag/freeze at trwp screen and reboot again. It's the same when I go to download mode, so I cant flash Tot via tools (My computer also dont recognise COM port from 5x, too).

Any ideas to solve this problem ???

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_charlie:
Guys, I need some opinions.

My phone rebooted yesterday and entered on a boot loop state. Sometimes it reboots on the google logo, sometimes on the Please Relock the Bootloader message, sometimes at the bootanimation. I managed to boot to recovery and made a factoy reset and still I have bootloops.

I tried flashing the factory image successfully but the same problem. I relocked the bootloader and obviously I can't flash factory images anymore. I sideloaded an OTA and got status 7 (because apparently my board is not named bullhead).

Then I knew bout this post. Installed all the things but the phone also reboots at the download mode. It stays for a few seconds and the screen turns off. On the device manager sometimes II have a Qualcomm device.

Does that means that my SoC is damaged right? I thought it was the NAND but because it reboot sometimes at even the recovery mode or download mode, or the google logo, I'm almost certain that my SoC is damaged.

What are your thoughts?? I talked to amazon and I have to send the phone for a refund.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
I was under the impression as long as you didn't disable OEM unlocking inside Android, you could still unlock the bootloader in fastboot if you changed your mind after locking it.

If you have a 5x, your board is named bullhead, but there is probably some problem (probably EMMC) making it think it is not.

EMMC/NAND often functions like a failing hard drive where it will try to remap bad areas until it becomes too much to handle, then it just starts failing, either partially or just complete failure.

IMO this is your best option.

Could you elaborate at all on how you created a .tot file? I bricked my phone with oem unlock disabled by trying to dd a vendor.img to the vendor partition which doesn't work appearently. I restored using your .tot but it doesn't contain a vendor.bin so it doesn't fix the issue enough to allow phone to boot.

3. I flash h791 32 variant with the LGUP ,then after boot enable oem unlock from developer mode i unlock the bootloader and after boot again i boot into the recovery

4. After enter on recovery i preform factory reset/wipe cache and i use the ANDROID N 7 PREVIEW to make my partition back ! ADB SIDELOAD FROM RECOVERY

5. After finish reboot BECARFULLE your bootloader ITS LOCKED AGAIN unlock it and the just write the android 6.0.1 ! Voila

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelmurfy:
I am only posting this because it was confusing the hell out of me and to help others.

I am using a laptop (Alienware 13R2) with USB-C and was using the USB-C cable that came with my phone to recover it (soft-bricked, caused by a PEBCAK of locking bootloader before returning to Stock after some testing). Anyway, long story cut short flashing via LGUP would stall on 46% EVERY TIME.

Solution? Use a USB 2.0 to USB-C cable instead. I know, user error... You'll have a far better chance of the tool working. Phone is happily running Android N again.

Aha, I didn't realize Hong Kong had a version. Not sure how to tell what your version is.

Soon after the LGUP the process is finished and the phone trying to start. The phone gets stuck in Google's white logo. Ja got to wait hours to see if it was just that, but without success.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
So the LGUP tool flashes successfully but the phone falls to boot up. Did you factory reset in stock recovery after that?

Was this error "E: command unknown" presented on your computer using ADB sideload? If so, have you updated your fastboot? Which OTA were you attempting to install?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangjt:
Can someone help me?

I ran LGUP using the LGH790AT-00-V10f-NXS-XXX-OCT-03-2015-32G-MDA89E-US.tot file (refurbished setting).

It goes to 80%, then my phone turns off the and LGUP software says rebooting (150 sec). My phone never doesn't seem to start back up by itself (screen is off) but it shows up in the device manager (this time as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader device instead of an LG device as it did when it first started). The LGUP software goes to 100% and says it's successful but my phone is still off the entire time.

When I manually turn my phone back on, it just goes back to the "firmware update" screen.

Good news is, I can at least get into the bootloader (power + volumn down) and fastboot recognizes my phone. I'm able to issue commands to flash recovery, boot, etc and it always says. But when I reboot my phone, it goes back to the "firmware update" screen again. Doesn't matter if I'm booting into recovery or android, it always goes to the firmware update screen.

What's going on?

phone is oem unlocked.

I was in the same boat. I bought a 16GB model off ebay that was locked, and FRP locked. It had the August 2016 security patch, and so I was unable to enable usb debugging. The phone had fastboot and adb capabilities though.

After following the instructions in the OP, I was stuck in a bootloop on the white Google logo. I did a factory reset, wiped cache, but still in bootloop. I downloaded an OTA build #MHC19Q since I needed an earlier security patch. I followed the instructions here

I've make a huge mistake by following this tutorial. I have a international version and not a US version(i think this is the main problem now). So now is my build number changed to the number which i flashed trough the lgup(? do you call it like that). Is there somewhere on the internet the right tot file for me?

I've followed the instructions for applying a ' rescue OTA' written by Techno Bill, but no succes. If this finished it wil go in to a bootloop(you see the google logo and than the animation for one go and then it repeat over and over)

I also had my phone bricked,i didnot follow the guide and locked the bootloader without flashing a factory image because they were in .img format and the toolkit demanded .tng format.

My phone was bricked and i tried many things but they didnt work for me,i sent i to the best repairer in the city and he fixed it,idk how he did it but he told me not to lock the bootloader again since its security is hard to break with safe boot enabled.

Just wanna say here that the phones bricked with locked bootloader can be fixed,and by brick i mean soft brick here.
