I wasn't able to get any of those files by extraction, I used the latest 7zip software. All that was extracted was .img files. Are you able to upload those files for us? And are they essential to the flashing process? Should they be in the working folder with the firehose files and such? Sorry for all the questions, Dom

Hello Aydin,

If that's your PayPal email, you should have received the access link a long time ago. I'll confirm the payment and grant access to your email.

Thank you.

Thast all

now they ignore me

and i dont recive the link to download QFIL files
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burn2k:
Well, I got access to the N5X folders from aryk tech and the QFIL Files folder is empty!

If he is working on the project, then he has nothing uploaded, but I think, there is no real progress going on.

There are three folders and only in the "Loaders"-folder is a loader.img from Nov 11th. That is everything.

I have a bricked and a working Nexus 5x 32GB and I asked him, if he needs something to start the project.

Until now, I got no answer.

If you guys have an idea, what I could do with the working one, to bring the bricked one back to live, I will try it out.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qb74:
quite sure he's looking for a working & bricked device (so he can make the files himself and not leak the way he does things & the bricked one for finding out the mobo eMMC pinout for QFIL & testing it out), but they're expensive so he ain't bothering :D
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burn2k:
I used my working Nexus 5x/32GB and this tutorial from http://www.aryk.tech/2017/02/how-to-unbrick-debrick-qualcomm-android.html.

The following code was executed on my phone, to get a loader.img file:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Loader.img bs=1024 count=168960

You can download the loader.img from http://www.share-online.biz/dl/SGBIW01PW1P8 or https://www.file-upload.net/download-12870855/Loader.rar.html and try to use the "How to Unbrick Hardbricked Nexus 5X: USB OTG Method" from this tutorial http://www.aryk.tech/2017/11/nexus-5x-unbrick-solutions.html, to get your device back again.

I have no USB-OTG adapter here at the moment, to try it myself. :(

Here the info from http://www.aryk.tech/2017/02/how-to-unbrick-debrick-qualcomm-android.html :

1. Take your bricked Qualcomm android device and remove the battery from it for few seconds. If the battery is sealed, just make sure the device is powered off for few seconds or minutes.

2. Slot/Insert the SD Card (we try an USB 3.0-OTG-Adapter) in your bricked Qualcomm device and press the Power button to switch on the device.

3. Wait few seconds. In some devices, the wait time could be minutes! Shortly, your bricked Qualcomm device will switch ON.

NOTE: the device will automatically go to Download Mode after some seconds and you can then flash Stock Firmware on the device using its official flash tools. E.g LG Mobile Supports tools for LG Devices, ZUK Recovery Tool for Lenovo, Oppo flash tools for Oppo device and so on.

Given the recent mess about how a lot of devices can be easily broken into via EDL mode, I think this is a lost endeavour.

https://www.xda-developers.com/exploit-qualcomm-edl-xiaomi-oneplus-nokia/

The article is also useful to better understand the boot sequence and what EDL mode is.

Even the firehose files that we have by now are janky and we don't know for sure if they are legit, so yeah, forget about it.

The solutions I see would be reballing for the hw problems or flashing the chip with a programmer if you are sure it's just messed sw.

Or just ditch it because you'll never get Android P :)

Btw, my other 5X is still in the shop waiting for the stencil to have the eMMC reballed.

Maybe it's just me, but unfortunately the nexus 5x unbrick files from Aryk do not seem to work. Comparing the certificate between prog_emmc_firehose_8992_lite.mbn and an official sbl1, several differences appear:

SBL1: Subject: CN=jongrak.kwon, OU=General LGE attestation, O=LGE, L=GEUMCHEON, ST=SEOUL, C=KR, OU=07 0001 SHA256, OU=06 1006 MODEL_ID, OU=05 0008cc60 SW_SIZE, OU=04 0031 OEM_ID, OU=03 0000000000000002 DEBUG, OU=02 009690E100311006 HW_ID, OU=01 0000000000000000 SW_ID
prog: Subject: CN=yeonseok.kang, OU=General LGE attestation, O=LGE, L=GEUMCHEON, ST=SEOUL, C=KR, OU=07 0001 SHA256, OU=06 0000 MODEL_ID, OU=05 000413a0 SW_SIZE, OU=04 0031 OEM_ID, OU=03 0000000000000002 DEBUG, OU=02 009690E100310000 HW_ID, OU=01 0000000200000003 SW_ID

As you can see the HW ID is different (0000 instead of 1006).

So I got some news from the service dude that is trying to reball my 5X SoC.

It looks like he first tried reflowing, which didn't fix anything, just turned the phone from bootlooping to 9008 mode.

That tells me that unless you know for sure your phone's 9008 mode brick is SW related, you should consider getting the SoC reballed or ditching it already.

Now he's waiting for the stencils to reball it and he's confident that should fix it, seems like he fixes a lot of iPhones like that.

FYI I never actually got it to flash - I always had COM errors and/or sahara protocol faults - but that could be due to the phone restarting sporadically at the first sign of communication. After my attempts I was able to get back into the bootloader at least and flash a factory image. The only thing that worked for my 5x was to tear it down, extract the motherboard and reflow the processor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HlqfB7VD1E).

I believe this method can be used to successfully repair the phone, but there are no DAT1, DAT2 and DAT3 pinouts. With the pins from the picture can be programmed using a professional programmer.

I ordered the USB 2.0 eMMC Adapter when I arrive, I will unsolder the emmc chip. Then I will look for the pins DAT1, DAT2, DAT3. And emmc to sd method should work.

I found all the pinouts but I still have no rights to add photos to the forum.

H791-pinout

NB: You should use a very thin copper wire for the connection. With thick copper wire, when moving the board, it's very easily to damage the pads. I damage one pad (Data 0).

The thing is that the programmer is not correct :/

If you use a older version of QFIL it also says that the sending has been successfull but the device didnt booted into firehose mode so it could be

- no firehose which has been sent

- a wrong firehose (wrong chipset etc...)

- not signed/wrong certificate (this is NOT manufacturers fault u simply have the wrong file)

Also google never published the firehose programmers in their firmware packages unlike xiaomi did for example.

LGE normally gives them but ive never seen a TOT file for the nexus 5x...

The horror

So, my situation might be somehow different. I have the same issue. This happened though from a semi working phone. I have unlocked boot-loader and Lineage 15. I had a problem with the bootloop issue.

So what I did step by step for that issue as it was a core separation:

-I flashed the TWRP modified version by osm0sis

-ADB sideloaded the latest Lineage release

-ADB sideloaded the AK2 fix from osm0sis

I was then able to boot into Lineage without having to re-setup the whole device. My device was working.

Little did I know that when the battery ran out the device sometimes will not boot or charge at all. So after some tries I will get it to charge while holding the vol down key and inserting it into the plug. That was my quick fix for quite some time and always charging at 10% because if it did run out of battery I had to retry my quick fix.

Last night though the horror struck.. I was speaking on Skype and the battery drained so drastically that I didn't even got the chance to plug it in. Now it won't boot at all and I can recognize the device from QFIL as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM9)...

Is there any way to actually get the device to boot at least to the point of charging? Is there any progress on the steps needed to follow? Or maybe sent a command to the device so that it can start charging?

Thank you

My Nexus 5 is TOTALLY BRICKED. What i 've done so far?

When i get the phone in my hands:

1) The phone was in logo bootloop always.

2) I had recovery options and adb and fastboot

3) I found a flash-all with Qboot.exe for the hammerhead but not for bullhead H791

4) I did the procedure from a cmd prompt.

After this my phone is TOTALLY BRICKED. No adb, no fastboot, no boot with PWR + vol up or dwn. Nothing. Only the qualcomm HS-USB sign.

I did put the correct qualcomm driver and now i have only com port4 available.

Then i try to test with many other programs with serial port but no luck. Also i 've try with wall charger only and PWR + vol up or dwn combinations.

All i want to do is get back the fastboot or adb for further investigation.
