What if you remove battery and have it plugged? At least some phones use the power from the source instead of battery.

I think your phone has come to the end of its life..
[Nexus 5X General] automatic_jack:
thanks :)
[Nexus 5X General] xdauser9675:
Hey OP, can you also provide latest TWRP's with this if possible?

[Solved] Found in Osm0sis post.
[Nexus 5X General] fvacas:
Dez worked.

Hello Everybody,

after trying all steps given here, nothing worked. It was booting for over 40 min. and nothing. Then I read that the Dez. Version worked. So i downloaded the Dez. version, flash everything again, and booted perfectly. Why are the other versions not working? I tried May, March, April... until january. Nothing worked. After hours of flashing, i landed by the Dez image. Worked. why why why?

regards
[Nexus 5X General] :
Dez = Dec?

You may be doing something wrong...
[Nexus 5X General] fvacas:
Hello T1m3,

i have flashed custom roms and all different stuff for about 5 years now. I dont think I did something wrong. Here is what i did (from the thread here). Always deleted everything before. And always used the files from the second post, matching the Month Release.:

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-bullhead-nnnnnn.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-bullhead-nnnnnnn.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

>apply the 4core patched boot image from this thread

fastboot flash boot boot-fixed-true.img

> (optional) install/upgrade your recovery image with a 4core patched version (stock recovery from this thread or twrp). Example with twrp:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-fbe-4core-bullhead.img (optional) FYI: Also tried with the fixed stock recovery.

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

And then reboot to system. No Magisk, No EX Kernel or something.

With the Jan - May version, didnt work. It boots and you see the moving logo from android. And nothing happens after 30-40 min.

With the Dec (not Dez :)) and same steps, it worked.

What could I have done wrong? Or did I missed something?
[Nexus 5X General] :
You don't seem to care about your data so just run the .bat or .sh script (flash-all) and after that the 4core image. That should work fine.

Often, users report that the patch would not work at first but later it starts working.
[Nexus 5X General] fvacas:
Hi,

that was my first step at all. Flash-all.bat and then the patched Boot file. Didnt work. So i tried doing all steps manually (starting from May and going back on time) nothing worked until the Dec. Image. Very strange.

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

But again, whatever, it works now with the Dec. Release. Now my question. WHat do I need to do, to upgrade from Dec. to May without loosing my data and all my new configuration. A step by step would be nice. Thanks a lot.

Regards.
[Nexus 5X General] :
Well.. There is a few step-by-step guides. Most likely, if it didn't work earlier, you'll just end up wiping the data.

You can always try with a good backup (twrp)
[Nexus 5X General] :

As mentioned I found it in the osm0sis post. But thanks for making a thread.

And if you can make please try to make 4core version of multirom recovery.

If you want I can be the tester.

Can u help me to create 4 core images of FRANKO KERNEL?
[Nexus 5X General] :
Just replace the kernel in ramdisk and it should be fine.

Please don't quote the long first posts.
[Nexus 5X General] tomsonmathewv:
OK, Sorry for the long post. I have the problem with CPU. So i use 4 core images. I was using Elemental X. Recently iI hear about Franco Kernel. Normally I use this command in "maxcpus=4" in Elemental X.

The folder "ramdisk" contain "init.fk.rc, init.performance_profiles.rc, init.special_power.sh, init.supolicy.sh".

I dont know where to use what, Plz help me to create the file. Can u describe the steps for creating 4 core images? If u have time then can u send the screenshot too.
[Nexus 5X General] :
If you only take the kernel file and replace the original in boot.img, you are done. You can do it with mkbootimg kitchen (google). This is all you need to do.

If you must use a flashable zip, you need to remove all traces of cpu 4 and 5. Maxcpus=4, bootcpu=0-3 and in init.bullhead.rc you must remove few lines.

This is all in my github. Go look there and you will see.
[Nexus 5X General] tomsonmathewv:
I am using Flashable zip file. I have opened Ramdisk (Folder) and change "init.fk.rc" file to

"# cpufreq settings

chown system system /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

chown system system /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

chown system system /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

chown system system /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

chown system system /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

chown system system /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cpufreq/scaling_governor

"​

.

Is this one correct?

And then i moved to the file "init.performance_profiles.rc"

"on property:fku.perf.profile=0

write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 1248000

write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 768000

write /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/max_brightness 100

"​

Here i fount the frequencies of the CPUS, what i need to do there.. CPU 0 to 4 means CPU 0 is the CPU 1 and CPU 4 is the CPU 5 ? My phone will not work with CPU 5 &6.

Then i moved to "init.special_power.sh"

"# big cluster

write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/cpufreq/interactive/timer_slack 30000"​

Here, what i need to do with the big clusters?

And where i need to add this command "Maxcpus=4, bootcpu=0-3"?
[Nexus 5X General] :
That seem quite correct. I'm not sure if you need to worry about the frequencies as the cores are disabled but you can comment cpu4 (meaning the big cores) if you need to.
[Nexus 5X General] mattboxer:
Hi everyone,

I would like to thank you all for helping to fix my nexus 5x, the everything works, par from 5Ghz Wifi, 2.4Ghz works flawlessly. Is this a hardware or a software fault. i have tried 3 roms, and I'm using this (N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed) over the roms. Is there something I'm missing or is this the best I can get it?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5X General] :
Well, this patch should not effect the rom behaviour.. So I'd look for the issue in vendor/rom. Then hardware.
[Nexus 5X General] mattboxer:
Thanks for the info, but for now my 5x has seemed to die again, It shows no signs of life at all, I'll see what I can do with it. Thanks for your info and time
[Nexus 5X General] Dr Genki's:
Hi, when the June patch will be available?
[Nexus 5X General] :
Today.
[Nexus 5X General] ugly1:
Tx :)
[Nexus 5X General] :
Op updated with new tested files :P
[Nexus 5X General] :
For me it seems like your issue was not 4core issue in the first place. Maybe you still have a change for that you did something wrong, but if you can't enter recovery (fully), your device looks quite dead. Maybe your system partition is corrupted, or there is another issue with encryption. At some point it was said that this patch would break it.

I suggest you to send that device in

Also when going from major to major, a wipe is often mandatory. Especially in full updates instead of ota.
[Nexus 5X General] firecodex:
I already have a new phone (Pixel 2), I'm just trying to get the data off the 5x before I send it back. So it's not really a pressing issue at this point, I'm not sure I have a deadline on the RMA. I don't know why I'd have to wipe the data partition to switch between versions if I'm wiping the system partition where the OS lives. Many people have been wiping /system and leaving /data alone for years, I've done this to change roms on other devices and never had a problem.

In any case I don't really need the OS to boot at this point. I just need recovery to work so that I can use it to pull the files I need from /data. After that I'll full wipe it, put the original factory images on it that cause the BLOD, and send it in for my refund (yes they offered me a refund). Ultimately though I'd trade the refund cash for the files. That's how important these files are. The ironic thing is I was thinking about backing them up the day before the thing decided to BLOD, and before I had heard anything about this BLOD issue. Had I known it was a ticking time bomb I would have backed up more regularly.

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

And it sure seemed like the BLOD issue since when the problem first started it went like this:

I was using an app on the phone, phone was working fine. It rebooted on its own. Then it rebooted again, and again, and again. I powered it off. Powered it on, the reboot cycle continued. Sure seems like the other cases of BLOD that I've read.
[Nexus 5X General] 1.36:
I actually have the same issue, except the dec version didn't work, may april and march don't either. I even tried 7.1.2 still no luck and the phone always gets stuck on the android animation. I'm gonna try the june image as a last resort. Does anyone have other suggestions or shall I throw it in the trash?
[Nexus 5X General] K285490:
Many thanks for the June update!!
[Nexus 5X General] :
Did you wipe and factory reset? Did you wipe cache? Did you install proper vendor image? Did you use the scrit?

More:

Did you try with stock (no patch)? Flash with different usb cable? Make sure the flash was successfull?
[Nexus 5X General] 1.36:
yes, wiped everything installed everything properly including vendor image. If u mean script, then yes and also tried flashing everything manually and everything flashes successfully. Didn't try stock alone since i'm sure it's the bootloop issue and I only have the one usb-c to a but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I also tried the june image and still stuck on the 4 circles. Since I know everyone makes mistakes (even though I've been flashing stuff for over 5 years) and maybe I've missed something could you provide your ideal step by step? (I tried two of those from previous posts in this thread and didn't work, the guy who only had the December image working and another for the may image by [MENTION=1819143]ugly1[/MENTION] )
[Nexus 5X General] :
So.. What is your situatuon? Is it bootlooping or not booting? Stuck at bootanimation?

If you flash the full image, you should get a bootloop, right?

I can give instructions tomorrow.
[Nexus 5X General] 1.36:
On my attempts today only, it started with stuck on boot animation, then bootlooping and currently it wont boot (i'm guessing battery ran out? even though i'm not seeing the red light when I try to start it)

"If you flash the full image, you should get a bootloop, right?"

yes.

Alright thanks

Edit: currently phone freezes on the 4 circles and bootloops.
[Nexus 5X General] fluoxethine:
I somehow managed to install May release and finally boot Nexus. After that I accidentally installed Google security update and it started bootlooping again.. Now I try to install May or June release without luck. Tried this:

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
flash-all.bat
fastboot flash boot boot-fixed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-fixed.img
fastboot reboot

Is it ok? fastboot erase data gives me error: FAILED (remote: Partition table doesn't exist)

Tried also once again with June release:

fastboot format system
fastboot format cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img (from original image)
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img (from original image)
fastboot flash boot boot-fixed.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-fixed.img
fastboot reboot
[Nexus 5X General] :
Clear cache.

Also, either flash all the files or use the script.
[Nexus 5X General] Chamb':
My Nexus 5X gave me the BLOD yesterday just a few hours after the june update (OTA)...

Only Android phone I didn't unlock of course but the freezer tip worked just fine, had the time to unable bootloader unlocking.

After that, only the december boot.img + a format cache worked for me.

Thanks anyway.
[Nexus 5X General] fluoxethine:
After lot of struggle finally got June image working! Once again this was my story:

I had May image installed. I accidentally accepted google security update in June. After that Nexus started bootlooping again. I tried installing May and June with many variations of the following commands with no luck:

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
flash-all.bat
fastboot flash boot boot-fixed.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-fixed.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

I couldn't get past white Google logo and couldn't even get into recovery mode.

Then I tried the December image with:

flash-all.bat
fastboot flash boot boot-fixed.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-fixed.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

What changed this time was that Nexus got past Google logo and started that colorful circle animation. However it was stuck on animation. After that I tried to got into recovery mode and it worked. First dead android icon with "No command!" appeared. I pushed Power On button for 3-5 sec and then pushed Volume Up once Finally I got into recovery mode! From there I wiped data and cache. Before that there was also dead Android icon with "Error!" message appearing after white Google logo. After that I tried April image. It worked flawlessly! After that I gave try once again with June image and got back to the same situation - only white Google logo and bootloop again. This time I used at white Google logo that key combination used in recovery mode: Power On for 3-5 sec and the Volume Up once. It miraculously started circle animation and finally booted!!!

So strange journey over 2 days but it finally works :) Remember to enable developer mode and disable automatic system updates in developer options!

Thank you for you effort bringing these solutions to the community!
[Nexus 5X General] rfmalta:
I also managed to get my nexus working again after hours of struggle with BLOD. But now I'm with another issue. My phone only boots if its in low temperature. I need to put it in my freezer for several minutes to get it working. And it crashes after it heat up. If I leave in the freezer it works fine, even download apps updates. Out of freezer it last for fews minutes and shut down. The same happens when I try to use TWRP. Am I the only one here with this problem? How to fix this? thanks
[Nexus 5X General] :
You are not the only one. This thread is for fixing that specific issue.

If the fix wont work for you, then you may have more broken cores.

Check with cpu-z if all cores are running or not.
[Nexus 5X General] rfmalta:
Just checked. Core 0 to 3 (A53) are working. Core 4 and 5 (A57) has stopped. Should I try disabling more cores? how so?
[Nexus 5X General] :
Some kernel modding app could work. Or if you're familiar, use mkbootimg to unpack boot.

Check my github to see what you must do.
[Nexus 5X General] rfmalta:
thanks but I dont know how to do that. I'll just leave in refrigerator for now. damn google.
[Nexus 5X General] Danish Fayaz:
Something happened to my phone today. Its running 8.1 Pixel rom with the bload fix applied. All of a sudden my phone turned off today after running fine from so many months with blod fix. Now it doesn't boot. Google logo and turns off. Not even recovery is working (TWRP 4 core, patched). Can anyone suggest what's wrong?
[Nexus 5X General] :
Your phone is dying.. Maybe battery failed.
[Nexus 5X General] adilau:
All left 4core are dead now.

The phone can not revive.

Exactly it happens to me with my 5X.

Send from Google Nexus
[Nexus 5X General] ugly1:
Same thing happened to me in a hot day in Portugal (30º celcius). I started a bootloop after google logo. After that i shut it down. And it stayed of for one hour. After i tried to boot it up and it worked fine for about an hour taking several photos, etc.

Now.... it's still hot here (no frezzer nearby) and, even after 2 hours off it refuses to show any signs of life.
[Nexus 5X General] Danish Fayaz:
WTF is wrong with LG. Why making such low quality phones. This is the last time I am buying an LG. Can anyone recommend a nexus like phone that has good rom development and some nice features to it. Earlier I was using Moto X2 which was my favorite. Now moto makes crap phones with zero rom development. Like now I am interested in Moto Z2 Force but it lacks custom roms.
[Nexus 5X General] :
Maybe OnePlus?

Or Pixel.
[Nexus 5X General] Danish Fayaz:
Pixel one design is too iphony, and onplus 3t is the only one I like but its a phone from the past and I don't think it'll keep up will be dropped from development this year. I don't like edge to edge screen phones as they are too much of a liability. One drop and you're dead, new screen. Pixel 2 is a good option but currently out of my budget.
[Nexus 5X General] :
Xiaomi Mi A1 and other Android one phones are good choise. Only Nokia is not.. They don't currently allow bootloader unlock.
[Nexus 5X General] Danish Fayaz:
Finally someone talks about Android one. Now the problem with that I think is its a trimmed down version of the original OS. I feel like it won't have the updated features in the ONE version of their apps and the OS. That's why I didn't go for Moto X4. Moto and Nexus were my favorite cause they offer stock like experience without any bloatware. Plus they have their strong custom rom dev communities :)
[Nexus 5X General] :
But you don't need any full versions of apps as you install a custom rom instantly:cyclops:
[Nexus 5X General] Danish Fayaz:
Hey guys, got me a Pixel XL for very cheap :) See you in the pixel forums. So long nexus 5x. You were a good friend :o

[Nexus 5X General] Dragan123:
If I may ask a simple question, when you say `After flashing the modified images, clear cache via the stock recovery`,

does this need to be done after you flash the original, the updated boot image and the recovery image, but before the phone starts? and how does one do that?

edit: I have edited this comment many times, but hopefully someone can help me.
[Nexus 5X General] SweetthD3ViL:
First of all thank you! My wife's Nexus 5X was stuck in bootloop for several days - and after following the topic it is working well again.

Quick question though - the phone is offering the 8.1 OTA update, should we proceed or is that going to change what was just done with this topic? How to proceed with future updates?
[Nexus 5X General] :
As said a few times:

- ota update if you want. It wont work as is if your device is broken and you may need to wipe

Or

- use the zip from google

And then flash fixed images.
[Nexus 5X General] carlosaeg28@gmail.com:
One question I tried earlier methods and none of them worked for me, does this method work with 4cores? and flashed the image of Google and these 2 files and I have running my Nexus 5x for two days, looking at cpu work the 6 cores?
[Nexus 5X General] dovlerino:
Just want to check if I did this correctly. I downloaded the July Factory Image, ran flash-all.bat, ran `fastboot flash boot boot-fixed.img` and `fastboot flash recovery recovery-fixed.img`. My N5X was stuck on the Google screen for ~5 minutes and then it shut off. I waited another 15 minutes, but nothing happened. Same thing happens when I try to power on again.
[Nexus 5X General] :
What?
[Nexus 5X General] :
Did you wipe cache as the instructions say?
[Nexus 5X General] dovlerino:
Just tried it again and it didn't work. The boot animation goes on for 15-20 mins and then back to bootlooping.
[Nexus 5X General] :
Did you try older images?
[Nexus 5X General] Chamb':
Do you think it's possible to get rid of the "Your device is corrupt..." red warning when booting with the modified boot.img for BLOD ? I relocked the bootloader.
[Nexus 5X General] dovlerino:
Yes, I tried 5 different versions
