[Nexus 5X General] stmims1124:
*8.1 Official is here! -Updated 1/7/18*

Thank you to [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] for the Android Image Kitchen tool used to modify the boot.img's, found here. An especially huge thanks to [MENTION=5317224]Tigerstown[/MENTION] for teaching my Windows-using rookie ass, and just for supporting a device he doesn't even own for so long. It is incredibly appreciated.

Next to each build number you'll find the first links are simply boot.imgs modified to just disable forced encryption. The second links are stock boot.imgs that have both disabled forced encryption, and dm verity has been disabled as well - take your pick. Only SYSTEMLESS ROOT is working with these boot.imgs. Tigerstown has put a lot of effort into trying to get system root working, but unfortunately it doesn't seem doable yet.

Naturally, the regular warnings and disclaimers apply here. I cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong, no warranties, etc. Of course should something happen, myself and the community are here to help.

Going from using a boot.img that is just decrypted to one that also has dm-verity disabled will cause SuperSU to fail when flashing - specifically when the script gets to patching sepolicy.

Starting with NRD90R and on, see the download links in this thread below. Any build prior you will find the modified boot.imgs for your respective builds in Tigerstowns thread here.

Simply flash the corresponding boot.img for your build number via fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

If your device is currently encrypted and you are looking to decrypt it, use the commands below. Please note that coming from an encrypted device, when you decrpyt it you WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE AND YOU LOSE YOUR DATA.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
