Everytime I try to update the ROM, the phone doesn't boot. I have to do a clean flash.

I just have installed the ROM and magisk.

Does anyone have the same problem and has been able to solve it?

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] saeedmt88:
Same problem :(

LineageOS + OpenGapps (stock version) + Magisk
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mperezm77:
Same configuration as me.

As per security options, y use PIN+fingerprint
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ccgx:
Try using MindTheGapps instead of opengapps. With MindTheGapps I dont have this problem.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Banan PL:
Honestly I would blame magisk for bootloop, not gapps. In my case phone rarely booted (if even) after taking OTA with magisk.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kungfury:
I have the latest december security patch. If I want to install the newest nightly will I have to flash the November vendor image?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mperezm77:
Do you use Magisk? If the answer is yes, what version?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ccgx:
Yes, I use Magisk. Used version 17.1 and upgraded to version 18.0 this morning. No problems booting.

So when you install the next nightly, you'll need to flash the new vendor img from the december factory image.

The bootloader and radio are the same as in last months update.

Another stock update? I thought Google dropped our phones last month.

If you are just updating from lineage-15.1-20181206-nightly-bullhead-signed.zip to lineage-15.1-20181215-nightly-bullhead-signed.zip, and get that 'vendor img' prompt when booting up, do you only need to flash the vendor.img in twrp? Or do I need to also flash the radio & bootloader?

Also, do I need to flash the lineage-15.1-20181215-nightly-bullhead-signed.zip again after flashing the vendor.img? Thank you.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] shhnedo:
Radio and bootloader are the same in both November and December factory images. You only need to flash the vendor, nothing else.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Weathered:
Whenever my 5X goes below 15% it randomly lags like hell. Apps freeze and ANRs show up. The only solution is to shutdown the phone and charge it to a higher percentage and then turn it on. What's weird is that if the devices is charged beyond 20, there is no problem. Am I the only one with this problem? When I switched to Lineage I did clean flash the ROM and have been updating via the LineageOS Updates. I have flashed the December vendor image and the build date is 18 December.

This didn't happen before, sadly I don't remember the build date since when the problem started. But it is recent.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] rogers11:
Just set it to 5%.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] 0mad:
A note for newbies...

My experience was that in Step 11, when you are directed to reboot, TWRP prompts you to confirm that you want to reboot event though there is no OS detected. I wasn't expecting this given it wasn't mentioned in the install notes. Assuming I'd done something wrong, I repeated the wipe and sideload again successfully and the message still showed. So I continued with Step 11 and am happily running LOS.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Weathered:
But it has always been 15%, I never had any problems. I want to use battery saver, 5% is too low.

Should I post a logcat?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
Just a quick thankyou and goodbye.

My NX5 bootlooped and now runs like crap with 4Cores patch so I replaced it with an Oppo R15.

Thanks for all the help and hard work!

EDIT: Oppo OS was bloody terrible, took it back and got a Huawei 3i. So much better!

Hi,

It's a annoying to lose someone.

My Nexus 5X work like a charm with 4GB RAM.

I hope lineage OS 16 come very soon.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] vildevilde:
I'm not so excited about LINEAGE, OS 16 yet, I mean, it would be nice to get that if it works but comparing with my wifes HTC M8, the Lineage 15 development finished when Lineage 16 arrived and that is not good enough according to me, still things that not working. So now my wife is running a Lineage OS that are not being updated because the new one are to bad, not so good.

So, personally I rather wait a bit longer to get the updates of a well function LIneage 15 rather a half good and half bad Lineage 16.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] breacH86:
Hi!

Just wanna say thanks for this ROM, it runs amazingly well, also good battery life.

Is there any ETA for Lineage OS 16 for our N5X ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
What final step do you mean exactly? The final step in TWRP is 11. Once installation has finished, return to the main menu, tap Reboot, and then System. There is no problem with this, because you will have an OS if you followed all steps exactly.

The first sentence in the guide is: Important: Please read through the instructions at least once completely before actually following them to avoid any problems because you missed something! If you feel that there should be additional information, you are free to contribute new instructions.

Yes to what? If you rebooted before installing LineageOS you didn't follow the instructions exactly. You can still get back into TWRP anytime and install LineageOS again. You can also download the factory image from Google and reset the device to the original OS.

I can't confirm your experience with Nexus 5X. Maybe some Magisk related issues that you can find an answer in the Magisk forum: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk However, have fun with your new device ;)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
It's a known hardware issue, class action against LG and the works. If it wasn't a grey import LG would fix it.

Tried many different ways to bring it back to life without the 4Cores patch including formatting all partitions, full wipes and stock ROM.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
At least I haven't heard about that issue before. Again what learned. Thanks. I'm sorry for you, that your Nexus 5X broke down.

Searched thru this thread a bit but couldn't find a definitive answer. What version of TWRP are you guys using? I know the very first post says "TWRP 3.2.0-0 or newer" but just wanting input whether I should go with the very latest or something a little older. I know that sometimes the latest isn't always the best.

Here's what's listed on the TWRP webpage.

Thanks for this great rom. Now that official support is gone its great to get security updates.

My question is regarding disable some of the stock apps. For instance I cannot disable messages or the gallery, camera etc ...

I have contacts disabled but I am still getting a duplicate Duo enty on my contacts with the play store version.

Can someone advise ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] shhnedo:
If by "stock" you mean los stock apps, one way would be to use opengapps-stock package. Yeah, it packs a lot of stuff, much of which you might not wanna use, but those are pretty much all disable-able.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] indishcurry:
you can also take advantage of opengapps advanced features and options, see https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options

Hi. Can anyone confirm that usb otg is working? Mine won't. I have a usb otg drive with type b micro connector and a type b micro to type c adapter. The drive is working on another smartphone without the adapter. It might be the adapter, that's why I'm asking.

I used it with a thumb drive, and it worked. I tried the same drive with a USB-C to female Micro USB adapter plugged to a male Micro USB to regular female USB-A, and it did not work.

So phone -> adapter -> thumb drive -- Works

Phone -> adapter -> adapter -> thumb drive -- Did not work

So a problem with one of, or a combination of the 2 adapters

hi. currently i'm on LOS 15.1

i wanted to flash stock rom by following this guide.

i've downloaded the last Oreo 8.1 bullhead-opm7.181205.001-factory-5f189d84.zip factory image released for Nexus 5x

uncompressed the whole zip file and got the following .img files

android-info.txt

boot.img

bootloader-bullhead-bhz32c.img

radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.42.5.03.img

recovery.img

system.img

vendor.img

there was no cache.img and userdata.img in the zip file.

since i'm on a custom rom, do i need to flash cache.img and userdata.img if i want to go full stock?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AutomaticFailure27:
Elemental X Kernel

Elemental X Kernel Manager

As far as I know, if you want the custom profiles you'd have to use EXKM. There maybe a free version of a different kernel manager somewhere, that I don't know which would be good / work.

As far as the profiles, the easiest way is to use EXKM to apply them, otherwise you'd have to manually change each parameter. Use this thread to find out what profile may work for you: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557

I also have what ROM/Kernel I am using in my signature.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] shhnedo:
Why don't you simply extract the main archive and execute the flash-all.bat or flash-all.sh(windows/linux respectively)? Device needs to be booted into fastbood mode beforehand.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
It's intentionally done that way. The security string is not updated device-related: https://review.lineageos.org/q/security+string
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] 3ndymion:
Oh, I was unaware of that. Thanks for showing me that. Sorry for the long post.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
You're welcome. It's not that easy to understand LineageOS security patching if you had never built the ROM yourself. Unfortunatelly, there is many false information on the internet about this topic as well. Basically the security string should get updated when all monthly AOSP changes from Google get in. These changes are not device-related. Some device specific components like the kernel get patched by the device maintainer and other components like firmware and bootloader get updated by the device vendor. These device specific components can lag behind. Moreover firmware and bootloader for example are not updated automatically. That's why Trust was introduced: https://www.xda-developers.com/lineageos-trust-centralized-interface-security-privacy/

As there should be all AOSP changes from Google in Nexus 5X builds, the security string is correct.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] 3ndymion:
Oh, I see. Thanks again for the good info, & for being polite. It's very much appreciated. I'm understanding more now. A lot has changed in the past few years, & I'm doing a lot of catching up now. I'm really happy to see that we can have Lineage, & still have root stuff hidden from Google's new security measures, thanks to the hard work of so many people.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] CongestedHangman:
thanks for your info...

so, no matter what custom rom/ custom recovery is installed on nexus 5x,

if the flash-all.bat is executed, it will install stock rom without any problem ??

(i never flashed stock rom before, just a little confused.. thanks :))
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] shhnedo:
Here's what the flash-all script does:

It literally does the entire flashing for you. You only need to be booted into fastboot mode and connected to a pc.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] F_R_I_T_Z:
The question remains. This small detail is causing problems for the Nexus 5x and others?.

Will it be resolved?

Thank you.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
Which question?

As I've already described, it's intentionally done the way it is and there is nothing wrong, isn't it?

Any vendor (take Google, Samsung, Apple, Windows or anyone else) releases security fixes with a document that describes what has been fixed. The vendors don't guarantee that there are other known security issues etc. Only what has been described has been fixed.

For LineageOS this means: when security string xyz is set, all non device specific AOSP fixes from Google should have been added and you can check Google's security bulletin for further information. LineageOS doesn't claim that any other security issues have been closed, though the device maintainers should patch the kernel. You can track any changes in gerrit, if you need to. Fixes for any vendor binaries, LineageOS included or not included, are out of LineageOS team's scope.

[MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION] is one of LineageOS head developers. Maybe he gives some information on opinions and decision in this thread.

... "

Hi. Everything Adai0 said is absolutely correct. I think the small detail you are asking about is the same issue that I posted about in my long post above, so I'll explain my reasoning. Perhaps it will help to answer what you are asking about. Anybody please correct me if I'm wrong. I've been away for some years & I'm still catching up on all this...

My issue was that I wanted my phone to be seen as a certified device in Google Play. I flashed this ROM as a fresh new build, along with OpenGApps, & Magisk. When I tried the SafetyNet check in Magisk, it said that the basic integrity of the SafetyNet passed, but the ctsProfile failed. With that, Play said that the device is not certified.

After much searching, I found that the fingerprint in the build.prop file is one of the main things being checked for certification, and the security patch date is another one. When I took the build.prop file out from the stock Google ROM, I noticed that the ro.build.fingerprint value is exactly the same as the one in the build.prop file from Lineage. However, I also noticed that the ro.build.version.security_patch value is different. In Google's build.prop file, the ro.build.version.security_patch value matched the date shown in the fingerprint, while the one in the build.prop file from Lineage did not. Initially, I thought that was a problem, but, as Adai0 explained, it is definitely correct.

" ...

Then by default our devices after a clean flash from lineage and gapps never will be a ..."certified device in Google Play"... anymore? And Always will have the ..."ctsProfile failed".. ??
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] 0mad:
Jumping back a few weeks to this response to my comment, I'm a little unsure of the tone of your response. ...actually, sorry Adai0, I just reread my original post and saw it was pretty vague on details (I've now gone back and edited it).

I did everything as instructed including reading the instructions multiple times. My devices all work running LOS, so it wasn't a complaint I was raising, just an FYI.

Next time you do a device, read what TWRP says on the screen at that final reboot stage (in Step 11) before you confirm. I'd be interested to hear if you have a different experience. Obviously, I couldn't screenshot at that point in time, but there was a warning with words to the effect of suggesting there was no OS - even though I'd just installed LOS (twice, in fact, after worrying that something hadn't worked the first time I got the message). Regardless, as I stated, everything works fine.

My intention for posting wasn't to highlight something wrong with the process or instructions, just something I found as I worked through the instructions and wasn't expecting.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
From you first post, I thought you were doing something wrong :confused: However I think I got it now ;) You actually installed the OS, though TWRP told you you didn't. Sounds weird. I personally never had that.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
That's what it looks like. You can also try this, if you need certification in Google Play: https://lineageos.org/Google-Play-Certification/
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] F_R_I_T_Z:
YES I know how to change this by hand or using another ways like this one, YET most of generic user dont have idea about it.

They need to FIX it in their main pages here at XDA and L.A.wiki to give all generic user the option of 1- register at google 2- change by hand 3- use some modules around..

By the way, to use the register the GSF is the best alternative to us than use an old certified date when using a new one.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
Honestly I've never registered any of my devices, because I haven't had any use case yet. May I ask: does this only unlock Google Play store (mine was never locked before) or does this also help to start other apps that check SafetyNet (e.g. Netflix)?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] F_R_I_T_Z:
I'm in Brazil and here most of BANK APP's doesn't work.

YET it's a very relevant information to be at the XDA and LineAge device front page/wiki.

How about other devices/vendors? Or it's just google devices with this problem? And Being the 6P, 5X the first google devices with the certification life ended by security path?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
Well, there seems to be a difference between Google Play Certification (https://lineageos.org/Google-Play-Certification/) and SafetyNet (https://lineageos.org/Safetynet/) then. I don't have any experience with checks against SafetyNet as I don't use any app that needs it (only one banking up wich only gives me a warning). Regarding Google Play Certification I experienced the following: I have two Nexus 7 deb devices. One is certified, the other not. Both have the latest LineageOS without root and with a locked bootloader. My wifes Honor 5X no root, bootloader unlocked with LineageOS is certified. My Nexus 5X with latest LineageOS, no root and unlocked bootloader is uncertified. I never understood why and when a device is certified or not. As I said, I never registered any of these devices. Also, my Nexus 5X was never certified before in Play Store. Even when the security string matched Google's.
