Screen Glitch on the 5X - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
I've been using my 5x for the past 6 months. So, today I installed the new version of Pure nexus which was released yesterday by the developer. After the update was installed, my phone's screen started have red and white lines.
I flashed back to stock but the problem still exists.
The phone hadn't fallen down or anything.
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance

yeah i have the same problem as well bro! someone, anyone please aid us in this predicament =/

I've started having this problem too.

Just curious what steps you guys take to flash back to stock.
Do you download stock from
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#bullhead
Do you do a factory reset after flashing stock in stock recovery?

also when you flash it would it really be necessary to factory reset the phone? i mean doesn't it already factory reset it when you flash it with the factory images ? so why would i need to go and factory reset it again ? doesn't make sense

I'm pretty sure it's not a necessity but just good practice. Sometimes the installation leaves some junk behind so it's not a bad idea to clean up after a ROM flash.

Do you have screen glitch even in bootloader?

nah, bootloader pretty much only thing without the glitchy behavior, however mine which i thought to be fixed i got a pretty surprise when i opened my camera and took a pic, it just had the line glitch and phone went off. its strange tho that whenever this happens i have to keep holding the power button and vol down button to enter bootloader to turn it back on from there. like, i have had to hold those buttons around 10+ times before it decides to boot into bootloader, so something is messing with it.

May be flashing stock images might help. Using TWRP erase all. Then from bootloader flash factory image. If you are fine ith screen then reflash twrp then PN.

[Q] I tried to install a rom, stuck on boot animation, bootloader crashes

I decided to install Cyanogen Mod on my Nexus. I already rooted it and downloaded rom manager + titanium back-up. I watched a tutorial on how to download and install roms using rom manager and everything seemed to go as planned and Cyanogen 9 was installed. The phone automatically rebooted and the boot animation the Cyanogen started. But after a half hour I realized it was stuck. So I tried to go into recovery mode to restore my backup (of the stock) but when I went there, the phone automatically turn off. It's not when I click, it's just after a certain period. It even turned off while restoring. To make things worse, when I turn it on now, it's stuck on the Google logo with the unlocked slot at the bottom. I hope you guys can help me because I'm starting to freak out.
Addidional info:
Additional info
I did not delete evreything when I flashed
GSM version
rom was downloaded from rom manager
I backed up my stock rom
I did google but everything leads to bootloader which is broken
Yes I'm a noob

Where can I find this option and what does it do exactly? I have the Nexus Toolkit too, should I do anything there?
1.Don't panic
2. Try to go on bootloader then reset factory or fastboot then from pc flash recovery
3. Try to get back recovery then factory reset and flash backup

was it a nexus? maybe/probably not, but if it was, you should have used fastboot. it's officially supported by GOOGLE. if you want to flash a factory image, they tell you to use fastboot. why would we use anything else? a leak? that the community barely really knows anything about?
i'd rather use Heimdall!! (not sure i9250 is supported though.)

[Q] Soft bricked my phone

So this is kind of a unique issue i'm having. I have the I-747 on AT&T and flashed AOKP rom (it was taking too long to get JB). It worked for about 3 days and then got stuck in the android boot screen (used the rom feature to get rid of the pink unicorns). after that, I booted into recovery and reset my phone, and it worked again for a few more days, then it wouldnt boot again (I dont believe I changed any settings between the boots). After this time, it wouldnt let me boot into recovery and would only boot to the android start screen and stop. I used odin to flash the stock rom, which only took me to the 2nd samsung boot screen and stopped (after the AT&T splash shows up). I looked online and saw someone say try CF-root using odin, tried that and it didnt help. Then tried using a custom kernel siyah s3, and now it will only show the initial samsung splash screen before turning off again. Any suggestions here? I figured I'd stop researching since i dont want to really mess up my phone worse than it already is

Your main issue now is that you flashed siyah. We don't have one. If you can get to download mode, you will want to flash back to stock.

Thanks guys! So I used odin to flash the stock boot loader and stock rom, but it is still hanging up on the 2nd samsung screen like it initially did (the one after the AT&T boot animation). Any other ideas on what could be the cause?
How long is the hang? Sure is just not the 1st initial boot of the new rom?

The first boot can take as long as 5 minutes sometimes. So, if you haven't waited that long, then try out some patience. Otherwise, try booting into recovery (stock now) and factory reset.

bump!
I have this same issue. I have restored to stock rom and it does the Samsung boot, then AT&T, then it goes to Samsung pulsating with a blue pulsating LED.
I have left it in that mode for at least 15 minutes and it never boots.
I can still get into download mode.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I let it run for 2 hours (left the house came back and i was still on. And phone wont boot into recovery at all ( i tried many times, but it just boots normally and skips recovery until it gets to the 2nd samsung screen, then stops there).
I dont know if this is relevant, but while the phone is off and plugged in, i can still see the battery meter and the Green LED (so i'm guessing it's still working, it just wont boot)

I went into recovery many times before, I'm definitely hitting the buttons right but it still wont go into recovery, it just tries booting like normal. I can go into download mode easily, but that's it.
jbizz, did you start getting this error after flashing AOKP rom also? trying to figure out what could have caused the issue in the first place
I'm not really skilled on these things, but I once had a similar issue with my phone not booting and had to end up using Kies to emergency restore it. Odin wouldn't recognize my phone but kies would.
Although I think my issue with odin may be stemming from my computers usb ports...

I actually flashed a bad kernel and the phone wouldn't boot after that.
What is the proper way to boot into Stock Recovery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Fixed it! What I did was go into Kies software and did a firmware upgrade instead of trying to flash from odin, then put it in download mode instead of recovery, but it still worked. Thanks for all the help, guys! guess it's time to move to a CM based rom?

Sure, I'm doing this largely from memory since I mostly figured it out by throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.
Open Kies->tools->firmware upgrade and initialization->enter model name then serial number (they're behind the battery) -> put the phone in download mode and plug it in. it should take care of the rest.
Fair warning, this will fully wipe your phone, i lost all my pics (thank you google+'s instant upload or i'd be PISSED) and titanium backup (there goes my 3 stars on every level in angry birds and great scores in temple run), but at least you get a phone that can function as more than a paper weight, right?

[PLEASE READ] 4.3 Update Crashes Phone!!

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ, THANK YOU.
Hello,
I am a Galaxy Nexus user, non rooted, running Android version 4.3. Yesterday I was running 4.2.2 and everything was fine and running as normal. Keep in mind I never rooted my phone, although I have to others in the past. My Nexus was running pure official 4.2.2. I had been waiting for the 4.3 update and was extremely excited when I was the notification that it was ready for my phone. I quickly downloaded it and then it rebooted the phone, as any update should. That's where everything went downhill. The phone started to lag immediately when I turned it on. It was sputtering and jerking but I just thought it was getting used to the update. Then the phone would loose its onscreen buttons and turn the page that I was looking at full screen (meaning I couldn't press home or back, because they simply just weren't there). Then the phone froze all together and after waiting 20 minutes I finally took the battery out and tried again. The EXACT same thing has been happening ever since yesterday and it has made the phone unusable because it will freeze 5 minutes into turning it on. And we then screen times out, the screen will not turn back on, as if the phone was off, when it is not. I'm very frustrated because the phone was working flawlessly before the update and now I have to use my retired G1 because the phone is that unresponsive. I was just hoping someone could please help me, or has a similar story and could make this known to Google. Thank you for reading, please if you can, help me.

Wipe cache and dalvik cacheand flash stock factory images through fastboot
Then flash the latest root files superSU 1.45 and then everything will be okay again.

Since he didn't root his Galaxy Nexus, this method should make him lose all apps data or even internal storage since he has to unlock his bootloader for root.
But it seems to be the only method.
It's time for a full wipe.

I had exactly the same problem so I did factory reset from phone settings 2 days ago and now is just like a new phone working great.
There are just too many changes google did in ~6 months so full wipe is necessary.

Here is my advice: use Nexus toolkit from the development section. Perform the unlock and then flash the factory image. Download it before to start. I always do that way with the new updates. Wipe ewerything. It's worth it.

[Q] Not sure why my phone is bricked...

I was using the Cyanogenmod that recently went out to the Google Play market. I decided to go back to stock and tried to do a Firmware recovery in Samsung Kies. It all seemed to go fine but when it's time to start up I just hang on the Samsung logo.
I've been trying to fix it and even used Odin to flash a stock ROM (latest release from November 19th) which was successful, but I am still not having any luck getting the phone to start. It's just hanging every time I restart.
Does anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I hate to be such a noob but I could really use a few pointers.
Thanks so much

I don't have the stock recovery or I can't access it I think. When I hold the Vol Down + Home and power it on I get the screen that says to hit Vol Up to continue. When I do that I don't have any options, just the "Downloading" screen. It also says "Odin Mode" at the top

Any time you do a factory reset or flash a new ROM it may take 5 to 10 minutes, and this is pretty standard. The reason why is it is booting deodexed instead of odexed I believe. The distinction is clarified in the link below.
Please see "Deodex is Slower, Then Why Bother?":

Everyone started out a noob here. The difference is that some of them persisted. Keep up the tinkering :good:.

You can try to lock the boot loader. If its unlocked on reboot you know for sure.. A replacement is not worth it unless you can find an extremely cheap mobo..
