[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Chaos:
This morning while using my phone, it froze and rebooted. While trying to reboot, it will continue to go to the Google screen then reboot and go to the Google screen, again and again. Recovery mode does not work, it enters the bootloop again if I try to boot into recovery mode.

I tried the following:

- This: https://www.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x-bootloop-fix-boot-phone/

- I tried to flash different versions found here: https://developers.google.com/android/images

- I tried the freezer method which got me in once.

- I tried the hairdryer method which actually worked for about 20 mins, when it failed I did it again and got another 10-15 mins out of it. Now the hairdryer trick does nothing.

I assume the CPU has failed and am going into a mobile repair shop tomorrow to see about a CPU swap. Would that be a surefire fix or is the Nexus 5X bootloop issue due to a different piece of hardware?

I bought my 5X from Google two years ago, and faced the BLOD just last week. Despite the device being out of warranty for over a year, they patched me through to LG, who agreed to repair it for free. You could try this (or calling LG support directly) if you don't want to pay for repairs.

Flash (7.1.2 (N2G47Z, Jul 2017) this one and do no update the sistem, stay in android 7

I flashed it with nexus tool kit you do have to have unlockbotloader

after first boot you can flash N2G47Z_4Cores.img if bootloops.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Chaos:
I'll try flashing this version. I am using fastboot to flash.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Chaos:
I flashed that version, 7.1.2 (N2G47Z, Jul 2017). It stayed in bootloop.

I then flashed N2G47Z_4Cores.img and it still stayed in bootloop.

I got a quote for a total motherboard replacement, including all new parts on the mobo for $200 USD.

A total mobo replacement would fix the issue, even if it was a software issue, yes?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jose daniel:
I dont know if it maters but i did flash vendor img separately

and remember first boot takes 20 minutes

I dont know how many time will last mine, but 200$ is too much

by know 48h no bootloop

good luck
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Chaos:
I have also read the first boot takes 20 mins but does that mean it bootloops for 20 mins or stays stagnant on the google logo or spinning circles screen for 20 mins?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jose daniel:
1 or 2 bootloops then google logo
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Chaos:
Yeah... no software solution on the internet has worked for me. Going in to get a new mobo.

LG Nexus 5x stuck in boot loop

My Nexus 5x has been a great phone for 3 years. Yesterday it got stuck in a boot loop.

I tried the solution at https://www.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x-bootloop-fix-boot-phone/

The instructions worked fine, except I ended with a black screen with a white "Google" and a white unlocked padlock at the bottom

On the same page I found a suggestion to install the factory image for 8.0 "OPR4.170623.020"

followed by the same N2G47Z_4Cores.img boot image from the first solution

It ended with a white "Google" on a black screen

There were more folks who said:

1. Flash the factory image for Android 7.1.2 (N2G48C, Aug 2017)

2. Flash the bootloop fix from the article (N2G47Z_4Cores.img)

3. Lock the bootloader with fastboot flashing lock

4. Restart the phone and wait for the bootloop to resolve.

This ended the same way

Any other suggestions?

Well I think if you are using wm6, you should try the downgrade instructions provided in the wiki. Or you could try and search the forum for whatever 2003 edition you want.

Recently, I bought this case from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0762F2T19/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's fine, but a bit slippery. My old Motorola RAZR M had a case that was very soft silicone with a clip on hard plastic back that protected the phone VERY well over the last 5 years of use. It also didn't slip out of my shirt pocket.

It had a nice fat lip on the front so you could place the phone face down without harming the glass.

See attached photos.

Does this type of case even exist for the PH-1? Even the Tudia case I have in a softer more "grippy" silicone would be better.

The dual pro outer shell has soft touch finish which isn't slippery.
[Essential Phone Accessories] mixxxk:
this may be what ur looking for

its flexible on the sides, but has that firmer back shell, plus it has grips on the side. this is my favorite case so far. only negative is if u use the 360 camera alot.
[Essential Phone Accessories] blackice000:
Thnaks for the tip, but still not what I'm looking for. The one for my Razr M (look at the pictures) was a very soft silicone rubber case with a hard plastic "claw" that clamped around the back and a bit of the sides. Worked great.

[Essential Phone Accessories] AppMtneer:
Rick, I know exactly what type of case you're looking for, as I've been searching all over for one as well. You're not alone. Your photos and description of your Moto case look similar to the Ballistic brand case I had on my Samsung Galaxy S2 that protected it so well, that when I took it off last month after 6 years of daily use, the S2 still appeared brand new. Upgrading from the Galaxy S2 to an Essential PH-1 was quite a jump, and I was hoping to have that same level of protection, but alas I cannot find it either.

Hopefully Ballistic or Tudia will step up eventually and offer bulkier, thicker-built rubber and hard-wrapped cases for the PH-1 for use in more rugged environments. I have the Tudia TAMM case, but it feels too thin and flimsy for any kind of real protection from the types of environments that I work and play in. For now, it is better than nothing.
[Essential Phone Accessories] blackice000:
ApptMtneer,

You are SO correct! My RAZR M still looks new after almost 6 years of daily, in the shirt pocket) use. I really hope that one of these comes out. They tend to be relatively inexpensive as well. I bought two for my RAZR M (just in case!) and still have a brand new on in the packaging.

If you see one, let me know. i will do the same.

Is there a weather app that can track your location like if i went to nyc it can see what cell tower i am at and change my weather automatically to nyc location or even if you drive to town to town it will change too.

i think that would be a great program to make. i know there is a cell catcher that finds the cell id and zip code if you can make the weather to do the same to see the zip code from the cell tower.

Hi all,

Here's my problem : I recently changed the battery of my nexus, everything worked well, then 48h later my phone starts to shut down without any reason, when I tried to turn it on nothing happened.

Untill plugged it in, then I could get him on, unplugged the phone (the battery was at 60%) launched an app, shut down again, without getting on until I plugged it.

So I flashed factory images (latest from decembre), Everything worked fine for 48h again, until earlier today, the exact same problem happened.

Can u plz help figure it out ? thx

[MENTION=5719731]oussamalabbize[/MENTION] It's your new battery same thing happened to me send it back. My seller immediately sent me a replacement hopefully yours will do the same. I bought one of the cheap ones from eBay so I half expected that. Just wish I tested it out for a long while before I put the back on! The replacement one has been working solid now for few months just no temp sensor but can live with that.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sweetlilmre:
Hi,

I've been porting a large number of linux based programs to the Gizmondo (CE 4.2 device).

One of the main issues is the broken c-runtime of CE, specifically the lack of current dir support (not to mention no posix layer :)). At any rate I wanted to be able to hook fopen etc. to call my own functions which would handle current dir.

To do this I thought I'd make some nice and easy IAT hooking code, that was until I discovered how complex this was on CE (relative to Win32 that is).

After much head scratching and looking at the stellar work of those such as mamaich, itsme etc. I finally managed to get it right.

I hope this is useful to someone (I searched this board, but couldn't find any code, though I do remember someone asking how to do it) and have attached a zip file with the hooking code. In order to use this you will need to provide your own undoc.h with the relevant kernel struct and function definitions for your wince flavour.

Once again, I stand on the shoulders of giants, without whom this would not have been possible :)

Enjoy

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nhlsm:
Hi~ JKingDev

I have ever created undoc.h with referencing "private" directroty.

"private" directory is installed with Platform builder. ( I used Platform Builder 5.0 )

If PB is installed, then C:\WINCE500\PUBLIC and C:\WINCE500\PRIVATE is created.

( I don't know Window Mobile 6.0 environment. )

p.s :

If you can translate KOREAN, then visit http://www.digipine.com/programming/1310.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Julian7777:
Hi all,

first of all, thank you sweetlilmre for posting this.

Your solution works perfectly fine for platforms based on Win CE 5, e.g. Win Mobile 6.1 and Win Mobile 6.5.3.

However it does unfortunately not work on Win CE 6 and Win CE 7.

I assume that this is due to changes in the memory architecture of Win CE 6 and higher.

Does anyone have a clue on how to port the "Deep IAT Hooking" solution on Win CE 6 and Win CE 7?

Some techical details on what i have tried so far...

[INDENT]
PROC WINAPI DeepHookImportedFunction(
LPCWSTR pwszModuleToHook, // Module to intercept calls to
LPCWSTR pwszFunctionToHook, // Function to intercept calls to
PROC pfnNewProc, // New function (replaces old function)
LPWSTR* ppwszExcludeList // List of module names to exclude from the hook
) {
PROC pfnOriginalProc;
PIMAGE_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR pImportDesc;
PIMAGE_THUNK_DATA pThunk;
PPROCESS pProcess;
struct info inf;
PMODULE pmods;
LPVOID baseptr;
BOOL bHooked = FALSE;

SetKMode(TRUE);
// Get current process struct from KData
pProcess = KData.pCurPrc;

// Get process import descriptor
[B][COLOR="Red"]inf = pProcess->e32.e32_unit[IMP];[/COLOR][/B]
[/INDENT]

The program crashes (at the red marked spot) when i try to access the member

pProcess->e32

.

This is because the structure

pProcess

is filled up by the value zero only.

This happens quite early in the implementation, therefore i didn't proceed very far. I still hope that somebody can help me out with this case.

Kind regards

EDIT: The task 2a brick issue has been solved. This does not mean you can do anything via MTTY & be safe. There are still other ways to brick your device with MTTY, so still always be smart & be careful!

All you Noobies thata are stuck in bootloader or playing with MTTY or AT@ commands PAY ATTENTION!!!!

This is not a big deal for me because I have a never ending supply of HTC Devices. However, for the noobie & the person that pays full retail for their device this is VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

Understand that MTTY is not a toy & neither is your device. Some very low level flushing & programing can be done with MTTY. If you enter the incorrect information, you may very well end up with an $800.00 paper weight on your desk.

Many of you came from the Hermes Device. Many will remember that with the Hermes & MFG SPL if you had bad blocks of memory you could erase those bad blocks using the

MTTY command cmd>task 2a.

However, with HardSPL (all versions including w/ AT@ command) the command task 2a doesn't just erase the bad blocks,

It will COMPLETELY reformat your device, the ROM, RAM & NAND storage, totally wiping out the Windows CE.

In other terms, if you play around with AT@ commands or MTTY task commands, there is a very high risk of wiping your device completely & restoring CE without having an amazing amount of software & knowledge is next to immposible.

DO NOT PLAY AROUND WITH MTTY IF YOUR DEVICE IS STUCK IN BOOT LOADER! Also, know that every SPL version CAN have different commands. If you are stuck in BL, stick to the known instructions, or ask somebody for guidance.

MTTY is a very powerful & often misunderstood tool. Use it wisely.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GSLEON3:
I believe ALex already crossed this to the wiki.

I've made great progress understanding SPL & MTTY commands. The problem lies in doing things out of fear. Task 2a is not a command that should be generally used unless you have an unlocked device. Using it however, can be an important step in some cases, but you need to be precise in the execution of steps immediately after a task 2a command.

I am documenting all the current SPL versions & commands that are not only posisble, but also the ones that are helpful in recovery. I you do not know what you are doing, I suggest you contact me as I am documenting various issue, spl versions, & solutions for an upcomming post.

Thx!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mmlopesjr:

I'm sorry to be a nobie without practice. I've been searching wiki and xda about one week and no solution to my specific problem. I understand the procedure with MTTY but there is so many details and i don't want brick my phone.

Looking forward to that post, it should make for some interesting reading.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GSLEON3:
YES & NOOOO!!! The task 2a completely formats NAND storage where SPL resides. So if you have an issues or reset BEFORE flashing a new SPL, you are done for (toast) unless your device is security unlocked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Lukstra:
Ok lets go with the fact that I bricked my device with the task 2a command (ok, I bought myself a new TyTN II the next day but still have the bricked one).
