[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikfe:
Hey,

So i got an Nexus 5X 16Gb, and like you know It's totally un efficient. I see that a russian Guy has changed his memory chip of an Nexus 5.

My idea is to Add an SD slot (but how and where) or change the eMMC chip.

Any idea for it ?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikfe:
Sure, but my idea is not an occasional adaptater but a real memory extend like this thread : http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/help/nexus-5-64gb-t3350533

I'm confused with 2 ideas :

-Add an SDCard slot (can be cool)

-Extend memory to 64 or 128gb (my advice SDCard still better)

On the iFixit Teardown guide, it says it's a Toshiba THGBMFG7C2LBAIL (16gb variant) chip.

And in the Toshiba catalog, like u can see downside, all chips seems to be the same type (P-WFBGA153).

The problem is the size of the chip. Upgrade can be easily done to 32GB (N5X Variant), or to 64 and 128 gb, up to 0,4mm difference.

Searched a bit on the web and finded some chips:

64GB Variant:

http://fr.aliexpress.com/item/THGBMHG9C4LBAIR-VFBGA-153-eMMC5-1-64GB-Flash-Memory/32653487163.html

128GB Variant:

http://fr.aliexpress.com/item/THGBMHT0C8LBAIG-TFBGA-153-eMMC5-1-128GB-Flash-Memory/32653124263.html

http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=THGBMHT0C8LBAIG (Ask seller)

The only problem i see is like i said above, the chip size grew up to 0,4mm, so is it possible to do it without get an curved nexus?

Any ideas where and how is possible to put an SD Reader?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
Replacing the emmc chip is doable (but you still need to deal with software side, repartitioning and making sure not to take factory updates that might overwrite your changes), but making it possible to use an SD reader is IMO not practical in this form factor which is why I suggested a small card reader.

If you were thinking to replace the EMMC chip with a reader, they are not interchangeable technology. You are going to need to find some other place to attach the reader. Even if you do that, the reader won't function any different than an external reader. You'd need to change the bootloader to boot off of it and probably various Android features wouldn't work

Unless you want to drill into the bezel, probably cracking it in the process, the only place it could possibly fit is if you got rid of the SIM card slot. Then look for some spare USB leads on the motherboard or attach to USB C port.

The amount of effort you are going to put into this, might as well just buy a phone with more memory, but if you find it fun, go for it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikfe:
The combo SD Reader + new memory chip could be good :), but according to hardware limitations, i prefer replace my memory chip by a new one.

I'll try to dismount my 5X and see if the 0,4mm are so problematic that i expected.

For the software part, i'll do more researches about it, but the guide for the Nexus5 seems to be good.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
I'm curious, do you have experience with BGA reball/reflow?

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

So you should figure out what the memory controller used on this device is. Sometimes it is possible to reconfigure it to use sd. If so, you can probably figure out which BGA pad location on motherboard correspond to the ones you need and try and rig something to a micro-sd holder (or even to the micro-sd card directly.

Personally I would only try this stuff on a broken phone as the chance for error is high.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikfe:
Never heard about BGA method. After checked some YT vids, a hot air pistol seems to be good, right?

I don't have lot material ( i'm 16, basic soldering iron and some other stuff, replaced LCD, Jack connector etc. without problems, modded 7yo laptop etc. ) so any every idea is welcome :)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
If you had access to Infrared BGA rework station that would be better, but you can do it with hot air gun, but you need one with tight control of temperature.

The solder on the BGA pads will "flow"/melt at a specific temperature range. If you go much beyond that temperature, you can damage the chip or surrounding components. Below that temperature, nothing will happen.

Most people will use temperature probes to monitor the reflow process.

Just search for xbox reflow and I'm sure you will get lots of instruction.

The proper equipment is quite pricey, but you can get by with more basic equipment for some of the steps.

You will need hot air or IR to reflow the solder between the BGA component and the pads on the board. That can't be done with solder iron as the pads are underneath the chip.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carm01:
I wish you luck on the micro soldering , its not as easy as you might think
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
Soldering a BGA component with iron is IMO impossible, but reflow isn't that bad if you have the equipment and/or experience. The component gets "sucked" into place once the proper temperature for reflow is reached.

The solder is naturally adverse to the PCB material and will attract to the metal pads on the board and BGA component. Just add generous flux and everything will "flow" into place. Can skip a a couple of steps if you can get pre-balled emmc component.

I wouldn't do this as my first project but it is doable. Best to practice on broken xbox's first.

I would like to make it my job, i'll try be careful with my 5X :)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carm01:
I know I use to work at the former Cincinnati microwave, so i have done plenty of quad flat packs, the hot air machine, microscopes; and with the correct equipment it is easy as gravy, also the lithography has got ungodly tiny since the 90s as well. I had plenty of times where i heated up a double sided board and one of the common things to do was to gently tap near the chip to see if it was loose, and it would just move, well all the components on the underside fell off LOL

That's why i am saying good luck with a soldering iron you are in for a challenge if not impossible
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
I don't have experience with them. I think with the less expensive models the soldering irons either have trouble maintaining temperature when you have large areas to desolder or the hot air cannot provide enough heat to account for the board acting has a heat sink.

This is what a more professional rework station looks like

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Achi-IR-Pro-SC-BGA-Rework-Station-with-DVD-training-set-/251525538916

In the US folks don't like to pay for full rework stations so they will usually try something like Aoyue 968.

It is also important to know whether you are using lead-free or lead solder. The US (and I think all of EU) banned lead solder so most of the time we are working with lead-free solder. Lead solder melts/flows starting at 183C, maybe up to 215C. lead-free solder will need to get up to 240C maybe up to 250C.

However you have an entire board acting as heat sink, so it is difficult to just heat one spot to the proper temperature. The way people make it easier is to pre-heat the entire board to something like 200C then use the hot air gun to heat the BGA area another 40-50C to get it to reflow.

I've seen people try pre-heating their boards using a griddle used for cooking and a temperature probe, but that is too ghetto for me.

I think with a small board like on nexus 5x (vs larger board on xbox) you can get away with just using hot air on the small area as the board is not sucking away as much of the heat but if you can pre-heat that would be best because it'll be easier and less chance of damaging components on the sides of the memory chip.

I really suggest you practice on a trash motherboard your BGA reflow skills prior to working on your phone though. Alternatively get someone who has done this stuff before to help you out.

How to flash recovery

REQUIREMENTS:

- Flashify.apk

- Root permissions.

- A recovery.img **See second post.

STEPS:

- Download and install Flashify from Playstore. And also, download a recovery at the second post.

- Open Flashify and give it root permissions.

- Now, you might want to back up your stock recovery first. To do so, tap the "BACKUP/RESTORE" tab and then tap on "Backup current recovery".

- Otherwise, proceed to flashing the recovery by tapping on the "FLASH" tab and then tap on "Recovery Image".

- Navigate to the recovery you downloaded at the second post which comes in a ".img" format. **Be sure it is for your version!

- Then confirm that you want to flash the recovery. After it had flashed the said recovery, it will ask you to reboot or flash more.

- You might want to reboot for now to take a look at your new recovery :good: :D

NotE: You can access recovery by powering your phone down, then pressing and holding vol up+

power button.

***I had myself a moment and didn't realize I had doubled up the .img in the recovery file name, everything's good now :D***

So, I've gotten a fair way into this - it took quite some time to get the drivers to play nice for this to all work, but now I'm running into a snag.

Using either the TOOL ALL IN ONE or the command prompts, any time I go to actually flash the TWRP recovery, all I get is "< waiting for device >" and it hangs. This happens with any device specific command other than the checks to see if the bootloader has been unlocked. The drivers are sound, the developers settings are as they're supposed to be, I just can't seem to get the recovery to flash. Using the command prompt, I receive a different error, "error: cannot load 'recovery.img' "

I'm not sure if it's worth noting, but when using just the command prompt from the folder, the fastboot devices command does not list any devices, however it lists my device in the TOOL ALL IN ONE. I'm not sure why that would be, either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Zuk Z1 General] someoneelse999:
If it's any help I installed CM13 manually yesterday, and had to jump through a hoop in Windows 10 to get the driver to apply properly.

If you have device manager open when using the command prompt to reboot into fastboot, the phone will disappear then reappear with an error icon.

You then have to manually assign the driver.

Hope this makes sense, I can maybe add screenshots if that helps.

As an aside, I installed CM13 snapshot, from April. It's missing a few things like setting individual sims on/off and the hidden engineer mode (to recalibrate sensors). Is anyone using nightlies with everything working?
