Can I revert back to stock without a computer (just like it was when I first bought it, locked bootloader and all)? I don't have access to my computer at this time and want to revert back to factory stock all from my phone. Is this possible? Any links to assist with this?
Thanks.
to get to a stock rom yes it's possible. you will not be able to lock the bootloader as far as i know.

I see. So I would need a computer to lock the bootloader?
as far as i know you need a computer to lock the bootloader, yes
as far as i know, yes
A couple of people have posted similar threads and no, there is no way to lock the bootloader without a computer.
One user who was trying to send his phone in with a broken USB port actually tore his phone down and ghetto rigged his USB port to work...lol.

Heh... I'm in a very similar situation. Could you actually send me a link to post? I'd really like to lock the bootloader before I sent the phone in. Desperation is seeping in!

Hey guys.
My GNex's USB port recently stopped working, so is there any way to get it back to stock (for warranty purposes)? Would adb wireless work?
Thanks in advance.
I'm guessing downloading mobile Odin and finding a stock image to flash. All done from your phone.
Edit: I don't know if you can relock your bootloader. Will any terminal app helps.

I doubt one can lock their bootloader from mobile terminal due to that fact that oem lock is from fastboot. But then again, I may be wrong.
it's impossible! sure you can access adb over the network but the bootloader is only configurable trough the usb with fastboot. seems like you need to fix your usb port to relock the bootloader :-/

Ok thanks, that's what I thought and feared.
I'll go and try to get it exchanged with the bootloader unlocked then, and hope for the best.

How did the replacement go? I'm in the same sort of situation... I plugged my phone in tonight and the power port shorted, burnt the end of the charge cable and needless to say the port no longer works.
I'm debating going through Bell Warranty or using the Insurance coverage which comes with a charge. Gotta love the UNLOCKED Icon when you boot the phone :|

Well after using mobile odin to flash stock images, the usb port magically started working again, although only partially, and I could relock the bootloader, so I don't know what would have happened with it unlocked.

strange, glad it worked out for you! I went for the replacement phone through the Bell insurance option, It'll be here within 3 business days. Given my power port is physically burnt I'm not so lucky.

Mobile Odin you can unroot and get back to stock, but as far as re-locking, you need a working USB port to re-lock your phone.
Thanks
OMG!!
Is the issue anyway similar to this?
if yes, i really really need to kn ow how did that happen? the service center in my country are completely clueless!!
Hi Guys!
Now that i got that error with the USB Plug not working I need to unroot my phone and send it back to samsung (I already figured that relocking the bootloader isnt possible but i guess ill let it come to that).
All the tutorials i found where using fastbood and not the recovery, right now I'm on a rooted JB Rom, after ich had several Custom Roms installed (i.e. CM9)
Is there any way to get back to stock just using the recovery and not having to use the USB port?
Thanks in Advance

It's possible to relock the bootloader if you have root.
There is a guide on how to go back to complete stock + locked bootloader w/o USB cable.
Maybe i should drill myself a few times with it, let me dig out the link.:good:

Why don't you just take the warranty repair while you still can?

I cant sent to warranty because I open it to change the battery 2 month ago, everything works fine but now...
OK, I have unlocked already the bootloader thanks kskendsup , but now, I cant flash a ROM because it isnt in the list of adb devices, because I cant enable (turn on) the USB Debuggin option as I cant see anything :S
The most dumbest thing ever, you should have send it for warranty .....like they know what happend with the battery, everything was 100% stock and they had to give warranty !!! My humble opinion ......
You are screwed !

And what happen?
Any chance of an update?
My son wanted to root his brand new phone. i have rooted 8 phones from different phones before with success..... but this time i f***d up...
Accedently installed this on his phone.
http://wccftech.com/flash-and-root-nexus-5-on-android-6-0-1-mmb29k/
executed flash-all.bat and it flashed the bootloader.
For the wrong phone...
It should have been this one..
http://wccftech.com/flash-and-root-nexus-5x-android-6-0-1/
Missed the X......
Now the phone will not even boot any more at all....cant enter bootloader.......does not power up at all.!!!
Jesus...what have i done.......
It here any chance at all to fix this somehow?
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
because you can't enter bootloader, you can't do anything. You can try to send the phone to Google. Say: It didn't boot after OTA Update.
Kind regards

Yeah it's most likely a paperweight. Try sending it to Google. Flashing the wrong firmware destroys a phone as you probably already know
well

I am totally aware of that....
but somehow one must be able to flash the bootloader from scratch....
Normally via special software etc.
That´s what i was hoping for....
Only thing I know to use is a riff box to jtag it. Not sure if they have one for 5x.

Your use of the period seems rather condescending. And no, you as the end user cannot fix that. You did one of the few things that is unrecoverable unless you manage to get the bootloader to accept adb commands somehow.

Didn't you say the phone won't turn on? The above scenario is not possible.

Well. the bootloader is flashed into the phone from the beginning aswell during manufacturing. I work with electronics and software and i know there is always a way to reflash the bootloader. All the electronics comes in the beginning with no software at all, one only needs the proper software/hardware. Most probably by jtag....or if they have some other special tool for snapdragon 808.
Stupid of me not to see that the version i flashed was not for nexus 5X...and only for nexus 5
sight...
Good luck. Will Google not rma it?
