flashable radio? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

does anybody know where i can find the latest radio and or what the baseband number it is? I thought there was a thread somewhere but can't find it...thanks

Just download the latest factory image, or what ever baseband you want, and extract the radio from it. Flash that with fastboot.

I've noticed i get no cell reception in areas where other phones on the same network have been fine. Would doing this potentially help me? what would the command be from adb command window?

It might help, but don't hold your breath. Boot into the bootloader and then use the command fastboot flash radio radio.img, where radio.img is the full file name of the image you are trying to flash.

Jelly bean OTA won't work on my GSM Galaxy Nexus IMM76I...

I had the yakjuxw and flashed it to yakju. I received the past OTA updates just fine, but when I received the message saying there's a new update for my phone, I went ahead and downloaded the 130Mb -140Mb size update and when it asked to restart my phone, it installed maybe a third of the way and the the little android went on his back and "collapsed" and I had to take out the battery to restart my phone. I tried it again and the same thing happened.
What could be wrong? :crying:
Thanks for the help guys.
When you flashed to yakju, did you also flash the proper radio and bootloader?

In order for the OTA to work properly you have to have stock recovery, radio, bootloader, and system files. You can't have modified anything except an unlocked bootloader.

so what you're saying is I have to re flash yakju?
I restore my phone to factory settings first?
I had yakjuxw also, it comes with a different radio. flashing to yakju (or takju) is not enough. you have to flash the radio also. look for efrant's post in how to do it and get it, it's in these forums, that's what I followed.

sorry, just re-read the question, what you describe happened to me when I deleted the recovery folder from the update file. The unmodified file updated fine. But then you have to root and install clockwork recovery again, which is fairly easy too.
Another issue I had prior to that was when I tried to flash the update and I didn't realize that the file didn't finish copying to the phone. check file size it should be around 147mb I think. I hope one of these tips help!

That is because you do not have the XXLA2 radio installed. The last update did NOT update the radio, so it didn't check to see if you had the XXLA2 radio installed and, hence, did not fail.
I had exactly the same problem, however as everyone is saying; Just flash the xxla2 radio again and the problem is solved!

It doesn't. If you've got an unlocked bootloader, just flash the radio via Fastboot.

note: there must be like, at least 10 threads where people discuss/has been discussed these issues. follow the rules.
post exact commands and correspondent output/errors. are you using fastboot on a terminal with admin/root privileges? all fastboot commands failed? or just the radio? do you see your device recognized on the output of 'fastboot devices'? this is maguro (gsm) we talking about?

[Q] Who can fix 4.2 Stock OTA failing with red triangle

It seems several users across the web are reporting that the 4.2 Jelly Bean update over the air (OTA) to their Stock Galaxy Nexus devices is failing after reboot, with a collapsed Android showing a red triangle. I am also affected, and have never seen this many reports before.
Some examples:
http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/forum/galaxy-nexus-help/8116-system-update-fails-why.html
https://www.google.com/webhp?source...b024c3c&bpcl=38625945&biw=1278&bih=1016&ion=1
I am stock GSM Galaxy Nexus.
I am not rooted.
My bootloader is unlocked.
I have tried five times by clearing data in Google Services Framework and applying the update, which downloads OTA and verifies correctly. There is no logical reason an unrooted, untampered with factory stock GN should fail in this way, so I suspect something is wrong at Google's end.
Any ideas from anyone smart and constructive?

That is helpful however my last update to 4.1.2 was also done OTA so I cannot think why I don't have the required radio.
Either way, what is the simplest way to resolve this, without rooting?

D. Type in the commands into the command prompt
1) Make sure your computer recognizes your device by typing: fastboot devices
2) Unlock your bootloader (if you have not already done so): fastboot oem unlock
7) Optional (NOT optional for n00bs) -- Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img (or whatever the name is of the radio image that you downloaded).

help , i too am on takju 4.12 stock w baseband xxlf1 and i returned to stock unrooted 4.12 using wugfresh's toolkit and return stock recovery as well .
ive done this 3 or 4 times over the last weekend and now again am downloading the OTA for another try,
I always get the red triangle after a few seconds . Is there a way to get the OTA upgrade to proceed when the red trianlge appears ?
i tried other method to uograde to 4.2 using techfanatics mac instructions but after upgrade the reboot hangs at the multi colored X and will not proceed to boot.
I tried factory reset of CWM but my Nexus gsm still hangs at the multicolored X,, so i went back to Wugfresh's Nexus Root toolkit 1.55 to save me by unroot flash stock back to 4.12 takju. (4 times already)
Any help suggestions would be appreciated, am pulling the 4.2 OTA again and will try again,
If I just stay at 4.12 the system uodate remnder bugs me every hour.

If you're upgrading, just use RSD Lite to flash the official firmware. No modifications necessary.
I tried and it got stuck flashing modem now I can only get in to fastboot and sometimes into recovery but even flashing a backup does nothing.

Confused with rooting and TWRP

I am getting mixed messages with how to root. I figured I have to flash TWRP before rooting, but how do I do that with having MDA89E version? The tutorial for flashing new OTA says I have to have TWRP first??? Can someone put me in the right direction??? Thanks a lot.

Get this one: MDB08I - 6.0.0: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/bullhead-mdb08i-factory-64536fcf.tgz , unpack it fully down to the folder that has the image files in it and that can be anywhere (let's say \temp for now).
Notice that there is a batch file that can do a full flash of the OS that you'll have unpacked from the .tgz file. You'll use that once in Fastboot to flash it. Don't worry about having TWRP or a special bootloader before you do any of this. Just get into fastboot (like "adb reboot bootloader" or hold down up&down&power buttons for awhile until in fastboot). Once in flashboot:
Flash MDB08I, boot things up, set things up, make sure it seems "normal" and check the "about phone" settings, and then you should be set to do what you want with the modified image & TWRP, etc.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I try to flash I get an error "fastboot is not recognized...blah."

I confirmed fastboot and adb are working correctly so not sure what I'm doing wrong. Just opening the batch file opens command window correct? I don't have to do anything else?

You need to put the extracted files from the download "flash-all.sh, flash-all.bat, flash-base.sh bootloader-bullhead-bhz10i.img, image-bullhead-mdb08i.zip, radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.28.0.065.img" in the same folder as platfrom-tools. From there you run the flash-all.bat in the command prompt. just did it today.

If you are getting confused you can always use the Unified Android Toolkit to download/flash the MDB08I image automatically. It will guide you through decrypting and rooting it too.
If you want to learn and do it all manually then good luck

You say that you "confirmed fastboot and adb are working correctly", but that doesn't sound right since your prior post said that "fastboot not recognized". Everyone else that's posted is on the right track and you need to be certain that fastboot (and adb for that matter) are in the correct path or they won't run or be recognized. It's not automatic. You need to either modify %PATH% var in windows, but that's semi-complex, or take the easy road, and move a copy of fastboot & adb to the same folder your image files (.img) are in. Also be certain to move the 'flash-all.bat' file(s) to the same place.
Change your directory to be where all those files are. Be certain the device is in fastboot mode and then make sure it's all working by doing this (or these) commands:
Code:
c:\{place-where-it's-all-at}: fastboot devices
That command should list some number which is the device number which verifies that fastboot is recognized and that the device is recognized.
you can do the same thing with adb (adb devices, look at the number).
---------------------- If that works.... -----------------
Stay in that folder and do the flash-all.bat (OK, I don't recall the exact name of their everything flash file, but I think it's that). It takes some time, but I've used these instructions to help a couple people through this.
Of course, mskip's way is also fine. Whatever works is good. -- Good luck. You're no where near being bricked and in good shape to get this done.
I thought I wasn't able to do that without flashing the image first. Anyway ibwas able to figure it out. I did try to flash TWRP and root with your tootkit but got a nessage " recovery not recognized" or something to that effect. Any idea?

The way I've talked about flashing the image, you don't need TWRP, or anything before you do it, other than what I said. If someone has now put up a zip version of the image, then yeah, you'd need custom recovery, but you don't need to use a zip image. It's less confusing just to use the native stuff and fastboot.
Is fastboot working or not. Are you sure you are getting the phone into fastboot? Can you get output from a "fastboot devices" command? Also, please give us the exact error messages. Write them down when you see them. It'll help whichever of us is trying to help.
I helped someone with this type of problem over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63439400&postcount=17 , so maybe reading that will help.
I was able to flash the image over with fastboot so I'm now on the OTA. My question now is with flashing twrp. When it prompts within twrp to allow modifications or keep as read only? That's where I'm stuck now. Thanks for your help.

Good. There's no point in installing TWRP at all unless you allow modifications. Allow them and tell that screen to go away forever. Good luck.
Yeh I figured that but never came across if before with other phones. Would you know if its an excessively long boot time after first flashing it?

Once you get to this point (installing TWRP), it's best to find & follow the best guide (by that I mean that people had the least problems with) verbatim. Then ask questions in that thread:
I took a quick look and this one looks fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-how-to-install-custom-recovery-t3231143
Another way to to use mskips ways, but ask questions afterward in his thread.
I don't have a 5x (or anything like it) and I only really want to comment on things I've done a number of times before. My only comment about boot "quickly" vs. "booting normally", is that the first time you've done something "traumatic" like unencrypting, or wiping something, then of course it takes longer to do a regular boot. Booting into recovery should always be nearly instant.
