[Nexus 5X Android Development] shindiggity:
Hey guys sorry if this is a dumb question but do I need to download the drivers first, then use this tool or do they download in the process of using the tool? My phone gets here tomorrow and just want to be prepared.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
yes.. download drivers first.. anyway if you dont have the drivers the toolkit will help you download it.. :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mchstream:
I have used your tool before with a previous nexus. I now have the nexus 5x. Tried your latest tool for it.

Works great except...

system windows 10 drivers are installed and good for the nexus. Device manager list it as good. Start the unlock process by clicking "unlock" the oem unlock is checked. usb debugging is checked. the tools says everything good and when it gets to bootloader says "fastboot device not found"

I check device manager and now says drivers for device not found and the yellow triangle. as soon as i reboot the phone when fully booted it has it listed in device manager as good but in bootloader it as the yellow triangle. please help to unlock it. thank you

Help. Thank you.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] shindiggity:
Have you tried a different usb cable or usb port?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mchstream:
yes. many in fact and other computers. exact same issue. recognizes it when booted normally but yellow triangle when in bootloader

btw the is a nexus 5x unlocked
[Nexus 5X Android Development] shindiggity:
Did you try and start over, relock and do again. That's what I did when I had problems. All the files may have not downloaded correctly.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mchstream:
sorry it took so long to reply. worked out good though. the downloaded drivers for nexus do not work for the bootloader fastboot mode. Windows lists it as android with the triangle in device manager when in fastboot and i had to allow windows to search for the drivers for it. When found it is listed as something like Marshall Bootloader in win device manager not nexus after the phone is fully booted up.

This may be relevant:

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Doctorimpossible:
Has anyone else been having problems making a nandroid? I've tried several times on different computers, all with the correct driver install, but I keep getting stuck at the ADB recovery mode. I've done all I can to try and get it to work. I've spent countless hours trying to get the driver to work but whatever I try it just won't work. I think it might be because I installed TWRP by hand instead of by this tool but I'm not sure. I would try it but I don't want to accidentally screw up and brick on me while I don't have a backup.

Besides that, everything else works. Thank you so much for making this great tool for us!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] trancinguy:
Me too, after I updated to twrp3.0.0 everything is ok until my device reboots to recovery to make the nandroid but then the toolkit tells me adb devices not found my phone is Nexus 5 4.4.4 and my windows 7 says driver is OK.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ToesNZ:
Hello

This may help others, i was having trouble re-rooting my phone after installing the latest version MHC19J. Would do nothing at the rooting stage just saying waiting for phone until it timed out [worked out that it was because of encryption, etc] I downloaded the latest TWRP version https://dl.twrp.me/bullhead/ , put it in the appropriate nexus root toolkit folder, renamed the old version of TWRP to OLD and changed the name of the new version to the old version name and initiated the process, all worked well, TWRP came up with the pattern unlock to decrypt the phone, then just a case of following your nose. Hope this helps in the interim
[Nexus 5X Android Development] KFloyd:
So it looks like this is no longer necessary and the NRT update pulls down twrp-3.0.0.1-bullhead.img which does indeed fix the encryption issue:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3230471/page19

Thanks Wug, will try to unlock & root tomorrow (when i have time to deal with any issues that may arise since this is my DD.;) )
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Oscarandco:
Hi WugFresh..I used NRT on a Nexus 5 a long time ago and it is with pleasure that I use for my nexus 5x. I have a small question ... Can I use NRT to install the preview N uploaded on the official website ...?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] konjiki7:
Discovered a bug if you click flash stock unroot. Then cancel the download the app will fail to download the Google image. The work around for me has been clearing the log, close and reopen the app. Not sure if this is worth the effort to fix... Considering the simple workaround. Hope this helps and thanks for this awesome tool! Huge time saver.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] SpinKix:
Having a problem getting root back after installing the latest version MHC19J.

When TWRP launches, it sits there until I manually enable MTP and decrypt, then it pushes the root files.

But then when it starts root, it waits at TWRP again.

I tried re-installing the drivers following NRT instructions, and the drivers test says "Success".

Updated NRT with TWRP 3.0.0-1

Still stops at TWRP.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dumbhorse:
Awesome! I have the same problem so I will try what you did. The device was found in adb but not recognized when I rebooted to fastboot.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] wind0zer:
Thank you for this tool. I tried [GUIDE] Unlock/Root/Flash for Nexus 5X | LG Nexus 5X but I would need to flash modified boot to avoid bootanimation forever, or custom kernel to get camera to work.

I went to stock mhc19j. Before first boot, I rooted with NRT from bootloader screen. No I have stock everything w/ recovery & root. : )

NEXUS 5x 6.0.1 MHC19J TWRP asking for password to decrypt data partition

Thank you for this good software. I tried multiple times to root a nexux 5x, Mashmellow 6.0.1 MHC19J. After booting in recovery mode, TWRP asks for a password to decrypt data partition, no way to reach the files on the phone to continue the root process. I tried also to format the data partition, and was able to do a nandroid backup. After that, same TWRP issue: asking for a password to decrypt data partition. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] shindiggity:
Are you on 3.0.0.1?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] carlo_ferrari2:
yes, TWRP 3.0.0.1 and android security patch March 2016
[Nexus 5X Android Development] shindiggity:
Did already have finger print set up or a pin set up before beginning process.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] carlo_ferrari2:
Yes! I checked and that was the issue. I removed the finger print security and the rooting process then worked smoothly as expected. Thank you so much for the hint!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] marcojooke:
Thank you, I rooted my 5X in less than 5 minutes! Everything was fine.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] ritchea:
Did you get this sorted out? Are you trying to root from NRT? Generally, that's not necessary if you have TWRP. Touch install on your device/TWRP then locate root file (SuperSu) inside iReadyToFlash folder. If the folder did not get pushed to your device (despite the message), you can locate the root files online then install from TWRP. I haven't used NRT with the N5X, just N4, N5, N7's, and N9.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Razvanva:
[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] Your toolkit is absolutely great,I guess there can't be a software more simple and with more explanations for rooting/flashing/etc for Nexus.Thank you for your work!:fingers-crossed: Had an S3 before,but i can easily say no S3 developer made a toolkit who can make 50% of what you're toolkit is capable of.

Android N support

[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] I love your tool! It's one of the reason why i just purchased another Nexus phone even tho the OnePlus X was tempting me. I'm trying Android N preview right now and wondering when you are planning to add support to this version? I'm using a Nexus 5x on build NPC56W.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ASW1:
I have managed to use this toolkit successfullyon two other devices, but now on my brand new 5X I am stuck.

ADB connection is working but I can't get fastboot to work.

Is it likely to be a cable issue?

Edit: solved

went through the whole driver installation process again. Somewhere at the end of step two I let windows search for drivers. Otherwise I dont think I did anything else different. Anyway fastboot success!

How I can update faster nexus 5x at build MHC19Q using NRT witout lost root?

Note that build MHC19Q is not present on NRT list
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pkelly517:
Shelled the image.

Flash system and vendor.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Lollolollo84:
Your method is using nexus root toolkit? Can you give me more informations?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tedrogers61:
Yes, MHC19Q is not present in NRT list. Can I just choose 'anybuild'?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Maregon:
I hope so. Gonna wait for a confirmation though, because I've got no clue what I'm doing, and I'm not gonna risk it until either MHC19Q is up, or it's confirmed that anybuild won't mess anything up. Sorry if this is useless, just wanna be able to get notifications if someone else replies :P
[Nexus 5X Android Development] shirleeey:
Can anyone confirm if this is safe?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] robert_anghel38:
Yes. I tried and works perfectly!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tedrogers61:
Thanks. I'm still going to wait until the matching build number is present though, but thanks for confirming this.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] razrlover:
Download mch19Q… and all necessary files… flash stk option…select download one yourself option… force flash mode… it works perfectly.

When u select diff stock image toolkit will ask to check hash md5. I used link for google developer page copy md5 and paste into toolkit requested spot.

I have done it a few times already… after you can use cfautoroot to root then download twrp 3.0.02 and use flashify to flash or use toolkit.

I believe toolkit uses twrp 3.0.01 so u can use select diff file option for recovery as well.

Good luck
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
Did anyone try the whole process on a stock 5X with last "official" build?

I mean,

unlock

root + TWRP

flash custom rom

Any problem with encryption?

Should you format /userdata manually?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Buddlespit:
Brilliant app!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
New version 2.1.5 worked for me.... not without headache but I did it!

Drivers aren't the best thought...

I did install the one from the toolkit but when I cut and paste easy files within the phone folders, phone becomes "busy" forever and nothing happens.

I tried with and without USB debug mode, with and without the suggested drivers... any idea?

Phone gets seen from my laptop as a Nexus 5X but without the usual realistic icon that should have.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] giant22000:
I am of the understanding that this toolkit uses the systemless root method. Is there a way to force it to use system root?

[Nexus 5X Android Development] *ReZa*:
Its my first time i own a nexus device after using samsung phone for 7 years ,so sorry if its kinda noob question. when i follow step by step driver installation, i do everything mentioned in the toolkit guide but when the phone goes to bootloader , toolkit cant recognize the phone . ( with usb debugging enabled , oem unlock checked and installed drivers) , my computer runs windows 10 64 bit. anyone helps where the problem is ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] *ReZa*:
installed windows 7 , now its working like a charm, thanks for your great tool dev !
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
I just got my nexus 5x through project fi and it came with 7.0 stock. I tried installing all the drivers for it and got ADB flawlessly but can't get fastboot for the life of me. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I've installed multiple drivers for my phone, multiple versions of adb / fastboot drivers, and the most recent was Kush's from 2013.. i haven't had a chance to reboot yet but ironically that broke my adb so i don't know what that did. I'll attempt to reboot and maybe try the drivers test again.

i've installed the LG drivers, the google drivers, the PDA drivers

i HAVE turned off the driver checking in windows 10

every time i always get "android bootloader interface" in my device manager which is what many others have said "works" but hasn't for me.

thank you!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Farlicimo:
I just had this issue last night. My device was recognized incorrectly under fastboot. I had to find it in the device manager, update driver, not choose either auto or use NRT drivers, and selected one of what was already installed. Was called something with ADB in it. Before I did that I held shift and rebooted and turned off enforce signed drivers. Not sure if that was actually needed but found that as a solution on a site that I can't find at the moment. I'm on Windows 10 64 bit.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] iamterence:
Ah man. Seems like a lot of people haven't been having their devices recognized by fastboot recently. I think it's a new update within the Windows 10 system, because this didn't start happening until recently.

With that being said, Google Nexus device not being recognized by fastboot and check out some of the results that leads back to XDA. Because I did that a couple of days ago and there was a whole thread about this issue, and something in there fixed it for me. Can't remember for the life of me, but there IS a solution out there.

Its working on 7.1.1?

Wysłane z mojego Nexus 5X przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Nexus 5X Android Development] luisbraz:
It works on latest stock and windows 10.

You just need to install drivers in fastboot mode like it says in the instructions (method 4).

To force windows 10 install unassigned drivers read this: https://en.code-bude.net/2015/08/19/how-to-install-unsigned-drivers-in-windows-10/

Had that same problem yesterday (phone not recognized in fastboot mode), but i've managed to get root.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pargop:
It really works on 7.1.1 and windows 10, but I was messing with it several hours yesterday as adb works without problems, but fastboot not. To get fastboot working, you have to make sure that you don`t use the latest driver windows is automatically providing - it does not work.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] luisbraz:
Did you went to device manager in pc and tried to update the driver of the unknown device (5x in fastboot mode)? And tried the driver in the drivers folder of this program?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] UszkiX:
I was tried and says "drivers are updated"

Wysłane z mojego Nexus 5X przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Nexus 5X Android Development] luisbraz:
If in fastboot mode there's no unknown device, then your phone is recognized. If you can't use this tool you have another problem, in which I can't help. Maybe a printscreen can help.

Great question, I'm wondering the same thing.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] weaselskhs:
I am not sure if this makes any sense but I just got my N5X and I am running windows 10 64 bit and I had no problems one thing to make sure is that you have to turn on USB debugging or NRT will never see the phone correctly no matter what you do. Which in the Stock OS you have to enable the developer options be tapping on build number 5 times I believe that is the correct one.

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Aventura5:

Do it my way, so you don't need to wait. Download the file and flash it manually!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Felindril:
Just so people know, I updated my N5X to build NMF26F with the tool v2.1.9. Rooted w/ TWRP v3.0.2.2 too. Everything worked fine :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
Could you explain a bit better?

Which options did you select?

Are you running latest

official

firmware for N5X?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Felindril:
In "Options" / "Custom Recovery" I forced the use of an "Alternative Custom Recovery Image" to make it use TWRP 3.0.2.2 since it was still on 3.0.2.1

After that, nothing fancy : "Flash Stock + Unroot" then "Other/Browse" + "I downloaded a factory image blahblahblah". I'm using "No Wipe Mode".

I got the factory image from Google's website, copy/pasted the MD5 when asked and that was all.

Once the update finished, I ran the Root process, enabling the flash of a Custom Recovery, as usual.

Yes, I'm on stock rom and I was running the latest one.

Anyway, the .inis have been updated since I did it so the tool now knows the latest builds and uses latest TWRP after running the "Automatic Update" process .. :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] divvykev:
Looks like the Toolkit has been updated but OP not updated here. Maybe another Dev moved away from XDA because of the idiots?

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Lonath:
Hey man good work!!!

Quick question ,

Can I unlock bootloader, root or flash a ROM without data wipe??
[Nexus 5X Android Development] luisbraz:
The first thing you have to do is unlock bootloader. Unlocking bootloader erases all your data. After that, you can root and flash whenever you want and your data is not going to be erased.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
Mmm, ok and I guess it applies also to my case (N5X running Slim)

I understand that I can use the toolkit, but first I should download the factory image by myself, correct?

Before starting, is there a way to doublecheck that the toolkit fully recognize the phone and had all drivers in all modes required? (Ex: in fastboot, bootloader, and so on)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Dior:
Does anyone know? ;)

[Nexus 5X Android Development] snipinu:
Small issues with rooting with the software on 7.1.1 because of the change in encryption. TWRP was prompting me for a password because I had set a boot up password. Once that was disabled it worked, took me about an hour. Also download the latest SuperSU the one that is downloaded is not as compatible with nougat as the latest one good luck

[Nexus 5X Android Development] CLPose:
Hi, there! I already went through drivers installation in NRT and they are working fine (ADB + Fastboot passes the driver test) :good:. Before -and to avoid- bootlooping or bricking, I want to ask the steps to get a permanent TWRP and root in my new N5X (MDA89E). So, steps would be:

Successfully install drivers (DONE!)

Successfully download necessary files for the rooting process (DONE!)

Unhide and enable "Developer options" (DONE!).

Enable USB debugging (DONE!).

Click on "Unlock" button (backup already done) in "Unlock Bootloader" in NRT and wait until the phone boots (I'll skip Google account configuration and password protection).

Unhide and enable "Developer options".

Enable USB debugging.

Check "Custom recovery".

Click on "Root".

Wait until the phone boots.

Am I missing something or I'm OK to go ahead? :confused: I feel I'm an idiot noob for making such a stupid questions but I don't want to get into deep trouble with my new N5X (MDA89E) :silly:. TIA!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] divvykev:
That worked for me. Make sure you have the latest toolkit from the wugfresh website.
