Soft Brick after installing April update - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wife installed the April update on her phone a few nights ago while I was asleep. After installation, she can't get past the boot lock screen. The screen doesn't recognize any input. I am able to reboot into recovery and would like to try a factory reset, but she has two months of baby photos on there that have not been backed up. I have tried mounting the phone from recovery but none of the computers I have tried will recognize the phone. Any suggestions on how to get the photos off of the device?
Thanks!

Perhaps I can use ADB to access the internal storage?

Try all the combinations of usb ports and cables you have. Aren't Microsoft and device drivers magical? There are other things you can try before you factory reset. BTW, was the phone rooted, encrypted or anything else before the update was applied?

It was stock. She received her replacement today. I never hooked up her bricked phone to my computer pre-brick... Maybe I can hook up the new one, install the drivers on my computer, and then mount the bricked one via Recovery.

That sounds like a plan. You could also try and mount the old phone to the new one with the included c to c cable. You are definitely in an interesting situation.

That's worth a shot. I've never done that before.
Now I don't know if I'll be able to even get into Recovery. The screen has started doing some weird stuff and I can't get it to shut down.

The phone comes encrypted. That might make things difficult. You said that the phone won't boot past the boot lock screen, so assume that you mean that the pin is required to fully boot the phone. Is that right? If so, adb pull won't do squat.
Another option is to buy an OTG cable and connect the phone to a mouse and/or keyboard and see if you can poke around and get things transferred.

Correct, it requires a pattern to fully boot. I think it might be completely fubared now anyway.

It looks like a faulty screen. The data inside may still be there.

Yeah, but it's looking like I'll have no way to access it. Maybe once the battery dies I'll be able to reboot and the screen will work well enough to get into recovery again.

Phone Bricked - Help Appreciated

Okay long story short, I was flashing Kang's Bullet kernel to my phone without the battery cover on (I know, I'm a dumb ass) and go figure, the battery pops out. I put the battery back in, and the phone doesn't boot as I sorta expected.
When I plug my phone into the computer it shows up as a qhs_usb device but it didn't have drivers. I searched around, found the drivers I needed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14909282&postcount=19 . So now my computer and Odin recognize my phone, but when I try to flash the stock kernel back on the phone it gets stuck on "Setup Connection". I'm having the exact same issue as this guy - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19091572&postcount=7
Does anyone have any insight as to how to get around this problem? While doing some more searching, I read that a USB jig may work. Will that work with our phones or is that only for the first gen Galaxy phones? Thanks in advance for any help.

Ha. Don't worry. I bricked my phone on my first try too. What I did was connect my phone to odin again, but just rooted it all over again. It worked too. Download the files you need and use odin to root it again. It should work.
yup, just boot into the Download mode, and flash back to stock via ODIN, then you can go from there
a USB jig will definitely make it easier
Thanks for the help so far guys. Okay unfortunately I can't get into download mode. My phone doesn't show anything on the display, make any sounds or anything. I've tried different combinations of pressing the volume up/down key and inserting the USB cable, but Odin still freezes at the "Setup Connection" step. I think its fully bricked because even when I don't press any keys when plugging in my phone my computer still recognizes it as the same device and Odin still freezes. I've attached a pic to show what I mean. The "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader device I have expanded in device manager is what my computer sees the phone as, no matter what I do.

*Take the battery out and place it back
*Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug the USB cable in.
That will bring you to download mode
or leave the batt. out for a min. or 2. Also try a different port see if that helps.
Thanks for all the help guys. Unfortunately I can't get it into download mode. I even tried with my friends jig - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0&noredirect=1 but it doesn't work. I'm just going to consider this a loss and see if I can get another phone used on CraigsList or eBay.
How I unbricked mine....
I was having a hard time as well after bricking my phone. In desperation, this is what I did....
I went to another pc, my work laptop, and installed the drivers and installed odin on it. Simply plugged the phone in and flashed via Odin back to stock firmware. All it took was swapping pc's. I was having the same issue............
My guess is that somehow since the original pc "knew" the phone, it couldn't decipher the phone in a different state, but it did prove to work on another pc.
I hope this helps you!
wait until unbrickable mod comes out..lol
You can also trya different usb on your PC. I could always find Odin. Good luck

Thanks, I did try this one last time, but it didn't work :\ . I've already given up hope because I did some more reading and when the phone gets in this mode, it means the eMMC (or something like that) needs to be re-flashed and that's something they have to do at the factory.

Yea but I bought it the first day it came out, not sure they would take it back if I tried to return it. Also it's 100% my fault, so I would feel bad trying to return it. But thanks for the advice though.

hi
i dont know how to install the driver. please help me

I think I need a "Hey You are Stupid Thread" just for me

First of all, forgive me for my language for I am upset with myself and hope someone can help me. I did not know where to post this, so I figured this was best place. There was not a Dumb ### (edited by VeNuM) Thread or I would have posted there.
I did some dumb stuff and used the Galaxy S2 GT-9100 forums to alter my phone. CWM, KERNEL, and Reset whole phone to GT-9100 cause things were not working lol. I did not realize there are so many versions of the Galaxy s2. Well after all the garbage I did. I am still able to go into ODIN, but I am not able to get my computer to recognize my phone now. There is no ping/notification nothing, no prompt about wrong drivers. After all of this I looked under battery and it was model Model SPH-D710, now in Odin it shows samsung gt-i9100.
Anyone have any advice?

If you do have a SGS2 Epic 4G Touch this is the right place to be but Q n A would be the right place...... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953783I Download a one click of any of the roms for your version of phone, SGS2 epic 4g touch if thats what you have. If you can get into download mode, hold power and volume down. Once in Dl mode connect to pc via usb and see if one of the com ports light up in the one click. If it does you are in luck and press start. If it doesnt, try downloading the drivers. You can get them and all one clicks here........ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252.

Try different usb port in your PC and a Different cable. The stock usb cable is good, aBlackBerry one is good too. Bad cables cause probs

Uninstall all your phone drivers through the device manager or add/remove software. REBOOT. Then start from scratch. It's sometimes easier to put the phone in download mode. I'm not sure why but when I have problems connecting to my phone that always works. And yes... This should have been in q&a.

I'm sorry to tell you this buddy, and it looks like people here do not have enough experience with bricks either. If you've flashed a rom from the international GS2, the only way to fix it is J-TAG. Flashing international GS2 Roms, disable your usb port regardless of Odin functionality.
Thanks for the input xstatik, think a whole group of people moved on to newer phones.Dont know if there are many that know, Thanks for bringing your knowledge

Ok, I know your computer has the drivers, now, download a one click ROM and a kernel tar. Make sure you have a good USB Cable.. Ive had this exact same problem. With a new USB Cable...
open ODIN and find your kernel.Tar for this device. Have it loaded in ODIN BUT the phone disconnected.
Pop out the battery and put it back in
Now put it in DL mode holding power and vol dwn, press vol up to go into Odin mode
With the new cable connect your device
Look at the odin window and you should have a yellow COM port.
Flash the kernel. After it passes, and reboots, follow the same steps above and now flash your stock ROM
Reason being, if you don't have the proper kernel for this device, the ONE CLICK ROM will most likely fail. If you follow this exactly it should work. Good luck.
Yes the phone is bricked (when I developed for this phone I bricked it so I know). Either try the jtag or get another phone. This isssue has been covered in the q and a (where this SHOULD have been. NOT development. I am moving it though...). Also, theres no reason for the language you used. Please read the rules again and follow them. Good luck.

Stuck in recovery loop; Tried everything, nothing works

My friend from Korea bought a kfhd 8.9 here in the US and rooted it, but an OTA installed and bricked it. It keeps booting to the stock recovery. I tried getting fastboot to work, but the computer won't detect it, as well as the unbrick utility. Anything I can do?

Powering off, running cmd and typing fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product, plugging it in. It doesn't detect my device.
I noticed that when I plug it in, Windows makes the beeping sound that tells you something is connected, and something briefly shows up in the hardware and devices section, but then disappears.

I would try to remove all the drivers you have now and install the non signed drivers from the first aid perferd drivers and that should go without any problems once that is done you should have a working drivers. Depending if you have windows 7 or 8 on how to disable driver signature.
Alrighty, thanks guys. I give it a shot.

I think the step your missing is to disable driver signature enforcement Search in google for disable driver signature enforcement Windows (then whatever version you have) and should find a way to do it, then connect kindle to the computer remove any drivers you see in device manager (and click delete driver if it gives you a check box) Then try the same thing and it should work!

Ok thanks! I want to make a script to fix the red screen problem! I had it once but I forgot how I fixed it lol and I dont want to get it again to try to learn again how to fix
Pretty much all I did was get into fastboot via cmd, and flashed boot, system, and recovery individually; they were for 8.1.4. I was at work when I did it, so I can't remember where I got the files, but you get the idea.
However, I had to type: flashboot -i 0x1949 flash (whatever here) (dragged the file here)
Because putting the file in the same folder as my fastboot didn't work.
After that I just rebooted and it worked.

Nexus Dead?!

So, basically I downloaded cm10.1 nightly and it was rebooting every some hour, this morning when i turned it on it immediately started rebooting and it kept rebooting until i pulled the battery.
so i went to the cwm recovery and tried to flash a backup, but whenever i tried to flash the backup it also rebooted..
then i downloaded the google nexus toolkit and thought i could restore my nexus with it, but since i can't boot into android, i can't get adb access...
i'm really lost right now, does anyone know what i can do?
thanks in advance :crying:

Too many links I believe is usually a USB issue, either port on PC, port on phone, USB cable, or even drivers issues on your PC (as in USB driver issues). I could be mistaken on this, but I seem to remember reading that was the solution to this problem a while back.

Don't "push" threads, take it easy. It's not going to help if you're stressing about it, believe me. What's your platform-tools version? R16?

dont know what version but the date is : 2013 05 22
btw i got my nexus to boot to stock with a sideloaded zip BUT every time i wanna take a photo it freezes and reboots, and when i try to record a video it'll also freeze and reboot, it'll also freeze and reboot if i try to put something into the sd-card through usb, it also makes a loud popping voice everytime it reboots..
edit : it also sometimes freezes on reboot, i think there's something wrong when writing/reading/deleting/saving data with my gnex...
pushing this cause i still need help v.v
still need help.

You're going to have to give us more information. What did you do to it? Is it rooted? Do you have TWRP installed? Is it stuck on the white amazon logo? Does it get to the colorful Fire TV logo? The more information you give, the more likely someone will be able to help.

WIthout access to recovery, your only option is rbox's unbrick image here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/firetv-2-unbrick-image-t3313349
You'll need an A-to-A USB cable.

Sounds like it's an issue with your PC and/or drivers. Try a different PC if you have access to one, or try deleting all the relevant drivers and start from scratch. Sorry I don't have any other suggestions.
