Sorry, know this is a dumb question but I keep seeing the 4 core recovery img, when does one flash this? does one flash this then the stock system image and then the 4 core image? Just trying to see where the recovery image fits into the flashing process, thanks
[Nexus 5X General] Dremmett:
First of all, thanks for the fix.

I have a question about Android Pay.

```"to get Android Pay working with unlocked bootloader on your Android device is find a custom/modified kernel which doesn’t support verified boot and flash it to your device to bypass SafetyNet check"```

Is there a way to run the Android Pay on this kernel?
[Nexus 5X General] :
No matter when, as long as you don't flash the stock recovery after.

You should flash the stock image first and then the modified.
[Nexus 5X General] :
I'll fix that..
[Nexus 5X General] hamed_forum:
I can't bootloader unlocked failed

Failed remote oem unloack allowed

What must do?in this method need unlocked bootloder?

Or use bootloop heat method?
[Nexus 5X General] :
Yes you need to unlock bootloader.
[Nexus 5X General] BS86:
you also need to allow bootloader unlocking in the Developer Settings of Android - which is not possible in case your device already blod's
[Nexus 5X General] hamed_forum:
If heat the ic it's work?
[Nexus 5X General] nightstepper1553:
What worked for me was 2 hours in the freezer. Inside a sealed bag and then inside a food container. When you take it out a suggest an ice pack for athletes. This pack cannot freeze like a hard rock so you can wrap it around the top part of the device for some reasonable time. To extend this time you can open covers and apply thermal paste on the IC.

My phone stuck after flash the 4cores boot img..why is that?
[Nexus 5X General] :
Stuck where?
[Nexus 5X General] skyblaster:
My phone started bootlooping yesterday and I was lucky enough to get into the OS for a few minutes to enable OEM unlocking.

I didn't warm it up much. Just put it back side down over the grill of my OTA set-top-box for a couple of hours.

I can get into stock recovery to confirm that I'm running 8.1.0/OPM3.171019.014. Which I don't think [MENTION=7280252]T1mb3[/MENTION] has released a boot.img for yet.

Once it's out, do I simply need to flash the modified boot.img along with the following files (are these the latest)?

ElementalX-N5X-6.01.zip

N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip

Is flashing a modified boot.img even necessary? The following line seems to indicate all you need is a patched kernel.

Also, I usually just boot TWRP over fastboot instead of flashing it. Never really seen the point with how little I play with ROMs. Is a modified stock recovery necessary as well?

"fastboot boot TWRP3_1_1_5X.img"
[Nexus 5X General] DMoogle:
So I've basically spent the entire past day trying to fix this damn bootloop issue. I've tried every solution I can find, and haven't found a fix. On the plus side, before I wiped my phone, I was able to unlock OEM and back up my texts and photos (with a LOT of tries and luck). If I can't fix it by tomorrow, I'm going to just ship it to LG and eat the two weeks without a phone.

I've followed the instructions in this thread to:

1. Using February - 8.1 (OPM5.171019.015, Feb 2018), execute a flash-all of the system image.

2. Flash the boot-4core-bullhead-opm5.171019.015.img boot image.

3. Flash the recovery-4core-bullhead-opm5.171019.015.img recovery image.

The result is that, while my phone is NOT bootlooping, it is simply indefinitely booting - it stays on the bouncing circles in the bootup screen, and never fully boots. I tried using the January 8.1 images and using the modified Feb Update posted here, but neither of those solutions worked - it's still just indefinitely booting.

I'm still pouring through this thread looking for a new solution, but if anyone else has any new ideas, I'm all ears.
[Nexus 5X General] stojshic:
Try just booting in recovery and erasing data (factory reset), it should help...
[Nexus 5X General] DMoogle:
Thanks for the quick response. Just tried that, and now it's back to bootlooping. :(

Sesse_ posted here about trying the 7.1.2 system image and the N2G47Z_4Cores boot image, so I'm going to try that next.

EDIT: Didn't work. It bootlooped once (odd), and now it's back to indefinite four dots.
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
Try flashing the stock Feb OPM3 factory image then adb push the 5X-6P BLOD zip from Osmosis below. If it doesn't work then you may have to consider the option that this just does not work on your device. The fix isn't guaranteed to work or work long unfortunately.

https://basketbuild.com/devs/osm0sis/osmods
[Nexus 5X General] DMoogle:
Downloading the Feb OPM3 image now. How exactly do I do an adb push? The only commands I've used have been to flash the boot and recovery image. I'm pretty new to all this - I had never even used the bootloader and recovery tool until yesterday.
[Nexus 5X General] niklus101:
okay so my device got caught with the BLOD a few hours ago, after reviving it using these files i was just wondering how long is this fix working for you guys? like how long have you been using this before the device just couldn't be booted anymore?
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
Flash the factory image first with the phone in the bootloader mode, then flash the bullhead FBE TWRP 3.2.1-0 to the recovery partition, download this from the link to Osmosis' page. Press the volume button until recovery is listed then hit the power button.

Now from the computer, open a command prompt from wherever your platform tools are located. Enter:

adb push (drag BLOD injector zip here) /sdcard/

Once it pushes the zip onto the phone, you can flash it via TWRP.
[Nexus 5X General] DMoogle:
I followed your directions and... still won't get past the colored dots. After all the images I've tried, I think I just have one of those devices that refuses to be fixed. Sigh. Thanks so much for your help anyway. My wife has the same phone, so at least next time we'll be better prepared.
[Nexus 5X General] BS86:
Well, you are already after the step that fails in blod - Just give it time, your phone is now running on the small cores only.

Inital boot with blod-fix took 20 or 30 minutes for me ... Reboots without wiping cache took a lot less time after that.
[Nexus 5X General] CptAodh:
So I tried this trick for the February update but unfortunately this didn't work as my phone got stuck on the Android animation.

I tried using the January update as well but same here, couldn't start the phone.

So I ended up doing the February update without removing the "-w update" from the flash-all.bat file, which worked fine but unfortunately wiped all my data again. What can I do to avoid that with the next update? Note that I'm not even flashing the modified recovery file now since I don't really understand what it is used for.

My Nexus 5x have Nougat 7.1.2 and i flash 4core but when i turn on wifi my phone crash and reboot -_- . Do you know any other file to flash and fix my Nexus 5x
[Nexus 5X General] rip057:
how do i get the wifi to work, i flashed the 4 core boot loader and totally wiped the phone inorder to unlock the boat loader and now i have no wifi. i am going to look but a helpful pointer would be awesome
[Nexus 5X General] :
Some say that the february image is not working. But at least the boot was same for opm3 and opm5 as I checked so you can try to download opm3 from google
[Nexus 5X General] :
I'm busy at the moment but some of the nougat images were broken I think.

Use January 8.0. it worked for all
[Nexus 5X General] CptAodh:
I did work for me, the only issue was I had was when trying to use flash-all.bat after editing "-w update" out of it.
[Nexus 5X General] jaetm83:
Is it ever possible to get the phone pass the check for corruption? It appears the phone doesn't encrypt itself if it's on a custom or modified ROM, and I need it to be fully encrypted for work email to work, which is critical for me to have. I know there's a petition by someone urging Google to sign the 4-core boot image and I've signed the petition, but I was wondering if there's a workaround to this problem at the moment. Thanks!

EDIT: To add to this, Google Pay doesn't seem to work once this mod is installed. Is there a modified Google Pay apk that may work with this?

Hey mate. What are the exact steps you did? I've been trying since last night. Sometimes I get to boot and finish setting up. Then after 5 minutes to 10 minutes the phone shuts down and boot loops again.
[Nexus 5X General] ArsimV:
i have this problem too , i flashed january 8.1 files and the phone turn on but when i start to use after some minutes the phone reboot and boot loops again.
[Nexus 5X General] payas0:
I've tried December image, January image and February image.

Tried it with their relevant 4core boot and recovery. No luck.

Tried with 4core TWRP and EX + Osmosis's BLOD fix, no luck.

I mean sometimes they boot. Gets to set up android. Then eventually shuts down again.

Maybe my unit is just so bad? I'm losing hope.
[Nexus 5X General] PerfectSlayer:
Hi all,

I posting here to get a some help.

I have a locked Nexus 5X with the Oreo February security update. I started to bootloop days ago.

I succeed to boot long enough to unlock bootloader under settings (freezing the phone outside, -4°C…)

So I could try to flash your modified boots. I fastboot flashed:

February update, then patched recovery, then patched boot --> bootloop

January update, then patch recovery, then patched boot --> bootloop

February update, then Osmosis TWRP 3.1.1 recovery, then apply Osmosis workaround injector --> green screen (see attachment)

When I say bootloop as a result, I see orange warning as the firmware could not be checked, then the Google white logo, sometime it morphs to the four dots the reboot.

Did I miss something? Is there any ROM/patch that works better than other? Thanks!

EDIT: The green screen seems to comes from the recovery. It happens even when start the recovery and do nothing. So the workaround injector might not be applied.
[Nexus 5X General] lauwie007:
I have some problems booting. I have a unlocked bootloader. I was on the newest update when my phone boot looped. Updated the phone to newest firmware (with deleting data) and I flashed the boot-4core. After that I do a reboot. Phone boots but as soon as the animation starts it gets stuck. Shortly after the screen goes out and the phone is completely unresponsive. After the battery is completely flat and I recharge it I can reboot to fast boot.

I have the latest fastboot and adb drivers (1.0.39) and I'm running Mac. I have successfully flashed TWRP and lineage os with this setup. I have done a couple of tries every time with the same outcome (and me having to wait a day before the battery runs out). I have also tried flashing using windows, but it gave the same results. Here is my terminal input and output from flashing the boot-4core:
[Nexus 5X General] tomsonmathewv:
Download the files from here : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74041715&postcount=2

I have the issue with the processor, so i use this method. I dont even find any problem. I installed the latest patch.

Download the files and unzip "bullhead-opm5.171019.015-factory-1a2de10b.zip " and click on "flash-all" connect ur phone in bootloader mode. Wait for few minutes and the phone will reboot, then open the bootloader mode and flash the other files. This is the latest patch and i am using in my phone.

If u want to flash Lineage OS 15.1 (latest) then u need the TWRP 3.2.0 or newer recovery.

Phone Stuck in boot animation

Came to this thread and tried to flash March system image and boot 4 core image. Restart and stuck in boot animation for almost 30 minutes. Tried to reflash but I can't get into fastboot by pushing down power and volume down button. I repeatedly push down power and volume down button but cannot enter fastboot. I think it's because I skipped flashing recovery image. Can someone advise me?
[Nexus 5X General] payas0:
I tried the Feb image a few nights ago.

1. ./flash-all.sh

2. fastboot flash boot 4core boot

3. fastboot flash recovery 4core recovery

No luck. Sometimes I get to set up android and get to the home screen, but after 5 minutes or so it dies again and gets back to the loop.

EDIT: I guess I'll give the new March image a try.
[Nexus 5X General] joenun:
skipping flashing the recovery will not stop you from entering fastboot. with the device powered off hold down vol then hold power until boot
[Nexus 5X General] payas0:
Thanks for your efforts. Unfortunately I'm still getting boot looped.

I noticed something weird though. If I keep my 5X plugged in on a charger or the PC, it doesn't shut down. If I unplug it, it suddenly goes back to bootloop.
[Nexus 5X General] akahitoarato:
I've tried that many times, but it always goes through booting sequence and stuck in boot animation. I don't know why.

Currently, the bootloader is unlocked. When I still can boot it up, I enter the fastboot through adb. And now I can't enter fastboot either way.
[Nexus 5X General] :
Try to remove battery or otherwise shut down completely.

For me that March build worked.

I always flash the stock image, boot it, flash modified images and clear cache. Booting will take little longer than usually (5min maybe)

1 core kernel from the same topic - did not work

update 7.1.2 to 8.1

Hi, thanks for the effort! Please, can someone answer me, i have 7.1.2 4core OS installed, i want to update to 8.1, do i have to install every security patch? Or can i just flash 8.1 March update directly? Does the latest OS contains all previous security patches? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5X General] alex_swe:
Ahead of anything, super thanks for the awesome work!

For some reason removing -w doesn't work for me either. The device gets stuck on the Google startup animation, I've waiting 1 hour this time (March update). Even clearing the cache doesn't help. I always need to do a full factory reset in Recovery to get it to boot.

I do always install TWRP and Magisk, once I finally succeed to boot after the update. Could it be that having Magisk before the update flashed is what's causing the issue? Any other ideas?
[Nexus 5X General] :
Do you modify the correct file? There is a .bat and .sh for linux and windows.

If you flash magist after the 4core version it should be fine.

Weird bootloop?

I've been running LineageOS 15.1 for a couple of weeks now, suddenly it started to have some weird kind of bootloop. Thinking it was the infamous BLOD I tried the patched march boot.img, recovery, and the injector, the phone runs much cooler but this still persists. How its weird is that I can get into the OS just fine (Even before patching), but the navbar still indicates that a keyboard is open, the recent apps button doesn't work, turning off the phone or rebooting from the power menu does nothing, fingerprint sensor doesn't work (No swipe down or unlocking), and after a minute or two, the LineageOS boot animation starts up again (It doesn't actual restart yet as holding down the power button gives the same vibration when the power menu pops up). This persists for a few minutes then I can unlock it again, but once it gets the animation again, it will stay in this state before rebooting into recovery. This issue is present in multiple versions of LineageOS 15.1 so I don't think it was the cause, but idk.

As a side note, when I went to check google photos to backup screen shots, I got an error message telling me something like "System process has stopped running" (Not quite exact, didn't write it down)

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

Ok well good news, it seems that turning it off then turning it back on fixes it xD This whole time I was restarting it... The age old saying of "Have you tried turning off and then back on again" will always be relevant.
