I can't send it back for RMA because it was imported US model (I am in Hong Kong).

Now it's just a phone-like paperweight on my desk.

Just bought an HTC 10 last week. Pixel is not available in my country.

Very snappy, much like Nexus-series (Very few bloatwares)

Can't we de-compile another firehose file and adjust it for out chipset? :confused:
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truekasun:
Does anyone tried this method?

I'm only missing RAM, and Boot Image from the following zip file

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5EP5AzZNQxPQXNPSlFHbGR1LUE/view

If anyone could, give it a shot, please try it or let me have those files so I can try on my device.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sofiane omega:
I was thinking of it but I don't know how to get the missing files
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truekasun:
Missing only 2 files called Ram & Boot image. Do anyone know about what Ram file is?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qb74:
Basically, the issue is the following:

We're missing a MRPG8992.hex file (the RAM file youre searching for) that's specific for our device. The only way I can see us getting this is to somehow study other .hex files and figure out a way to build it/make it ourselves (this is quite a hard, probably impossible task) or somehow leak the files from the board support package Qualcomm provides.

However, I'm looking up for some clues on how to build something remotely close to it. Though some people have reported that flashing files that are not verified (have proper hash & stuff) are not able to get flashed.

if i could actually startup that program and if we could find some sheets on how the whole QPST/QFIL list of programs work, someone would be able to work it out.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truekasun:
If you have any .hex file for another chipset, please upload it here so I can try to study with that. I'll report if I got a luck. Building a RAM file may be a miracle, but giving it a shot worth it since there are much more people waiting for this. :)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qb74:
there should be a few available on the internet, have yet to bother tackling this project again since i semi-gave up on it due to school.

edit: Actually, I remember the issue. Here's the thread that I found about it

as you can see, it's quite impossible.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truekasun:
Ok I'll try to find one. I'm working too so this may take time but I'll give my best effort on this.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truekasun:
Yeah I read the thread you provided. So even we could build the hex file (Probably the firehose files we found for the same chipset would work if they are signed with the LG certificate), it needs to be signed by the original certificate to flash which we never get from Qualcomm or LG. :rolleyes:

Only thing that can be done is find a leaked hex file (will take forever to leak a file like this) from Qualcomm or LG.

:/
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qb74:
Basically, yeah.

I wanted to try and use the toolstudio with a self built 8992.mbn as a ram file to give it a shot, in hope of it working, but never had the chance.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truekasun:
There are some threads about unlocking the edl bootloader (Don't know much yet, just searching)

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/bootloader-unlock-snapdragon-t3530395

If this really could done, we'll be able to flash self build RAM files.

:rolleyes:
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qb74:
Nothing is out of the window, the thread I provided is specific for that device. Maybe our device doesn't have this hard lock, and it could be flashable.

Still gotta keep on trying. :D

sources

google's sources for every google phone, theres a few for our device.

I'm kinda curious, maybe this could help us build the necessary RAM(.hex) file or the proper firehose file for flashing? Ya' got any clue?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truekasun:
I was looking at the driver files and some other files but there is no sign of the qualcomm chipset specific codes. :rolleyes:

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

The loader method through USB OTG is actually doable, could anyone with a working phone provide those?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sofiane omega:
QFIL is our only way to unbrick the phone we can't turn on our phone and the sd card are not supported

and what is this USB OTG method
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truekasun:
I have a briked one and a working device, if you want to test something I'd do it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qb74:
If you could message Aryk on facebook, tell him Amar sent you. He asked me to link him to somebody who has a working device. You could really contribute to fixing our device! Hope you can help!

Basically, you get a small USB stick that you plug into our device (a USB to USB-C stick) with the flashed Loader.img and with the proper button combo, something should happen. If not, then QFIL method.

Guy's did any one find the firehose file
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostthejack:
I cant test it since for my phone this program does not see my device as a phone but this is supposed to create the hex file and firehose file from what i read. It creates a backup of those two files which you name at the top there. I have not been able to confirm this though since it doesnt even recognize my device as being a phone.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDomTheFirst:

Which variant of the 5X do you have? This has to be dependant on the storage size. (16GB or 32GB) I doubt they are interchangeable.

Download this emmc image https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bZRwvQ5t3TkAzIHcobt93UlWW7tPDrHg

Download this software https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

extract the emmc.rar and flash it with the software.

this emmc img for 16gb device, someone uploaded it a few weeks ago, you have 32gb, I dont think this is important.

this method actually boots the phone from the disk card that you flashed the image on, i dont think this method will work, and if it did we will have to keep the disk card connected to the device.

to fix your usb after this process

1) open cmd

2)type diskpart

3)type list disk

4)type sel disk x (x is the usb number)

5)type clean (this will erase all the partitions from the usb)

6)after the erase process completed, disconnect the usb and connect it again and then format it

this might take a while or a few tries cause there are a lot of partitions and you pc might freeze
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sofiane omega:
this method will erase all partition and re partition them is that or it will boot the phone only

and the usb will be use to boot the phone will the phone work
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan.nj978:
this method is basically writing all the partitions on the usb, and boot the usb on the phone
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sofiane omega:
