ATT note 5 - Chimera Root Tool

So Far came this far with the chimera tool

This didn't brick your phone?

It didn't root mine, but it didn't brick it. Device status is custom.
And... I lose my wifi connections on boot

Man, that is some shady looking **** right there. Let me know how it goes haha.

Tried root it failed on me.

My guess is as of right now it only works for the N920AUCU1AOGG firmware, it is the original firmware that came when the phone was introduced. Now everyone is rocking the N920AUCU2AOJ1 firmware that came out some time in between September - December.
If you search for the firmware available in chimera root tool, the one they have is the original one OGG. I guess the only way for this to work is to downgrade then run the utility.

how do I stop the now constant security warnings, and dropping of wifi on reboot?

Getting the same myself.

maybe I'll try the unroot option after my 3 hours runs out? don't see much harm in hacking this thing up anymore...
factory reset via recovery and restoring from smart switch did nothing. other than wipe away my screen and app drawer settings :'p

package Disabler pro is your friend for the security warning thing. just disable security log agent

That works for the message, Thinking about trying to Odin to OGG and try root again when the 3hrs is passed

It boots into the OS just fine but there is no IMEI and the baseband now says unknown
Whew, Complete ODIN back to the newest firmware fixed it.

Device State - locked

I know there are other threads regarding this but those included someone having TWRP already flashed and in this case I do not.
I sadly took a chance and bought a Nexus 5X off someone on Kijiji and it looks like I got got scammed.
I've own other Nexus phones in the past but was unaware of the OEM Lock on the latest devices and it is in a locked state and I do not know the google account to unlock it (as it wasn't my phone prior to this)
None of the fastboot/adb commands work as it is locked.
I just wanted to know if there was any other way I could fix this or if I have brick on my hands here. Any assistance would be amazing as this would mean I just blew my money away.

So you purchased a 5X that wasn't factory reset? Have you tried asking the previous owner for assistance? They might be able to remotely wipe the phone using Android Device Manager.

It was reset and required login of the previous account to unlock it. Unfortunately, the previous owner is nowhere to be found...
The build number is MHC19J and I've been told that I am screwed to unlock it.

Sadly you may be right, but like any good thief he seems to be unreachable, so I unfortunately can't get the money back. I have checked the IMEI and it is clean so i should be able to activate it.
I just need a way to bypass the FRP (Factory Reset Protection). I've seen posts on this on XDA but they are for patches up to the March 1st Patch. I build I have is the March Patch and I can't seem to find any workarounds for this patch level.
In the event that someone has found a way please let me know as it would save me a lot of grief.
Thank you for your responses.

I don't know if will help, but the N preview may not include or may reset FRP. Usually OTAs only include the changed files but since the N preview was bricking locked phones, Google released full OTAs that contained everything. You could try flashing it with ADB while in the stock recovery.

I was thinking the same thing but I don't want to make the situation worse than it already is. I have seen vids from RootJunky showing that the N preview is bypassable and it can be done with a reset.
Will the OTA wipe all the data on the device?
Just to be clear are these the OTA's you are referring too? http://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html
Thank you for your advice.

Bummer. I was going to suggest THIS. But there isnt a 16 TOT file.
So you were able to successfully flash N from the stock recovery? And you simply couldnt get past the login screen? FRP is a *****. I had no idea what it was when I sold my Moto X Pure Edition last year. I ended up giving the guy I sold it to my password so he could unlock it. That was after about a day of searching for a workaround. Then my sis bought a G4 and when it arrived it was locked with FRP. We ended up finding a tool to wipe it out. Such a pain. Lol. Good luck finding a solution. Let us know if you get it working some other way.

I unfortunately don't have a sim to test with. The one in my current is a micro not a nano. I am going to contact a repair store tomorrow to see if they can assist and I will try it out.
Sorry yes I did exactly as he suggested and it didn't work.
It gives me the option during setup to setup like it was a new phone but then as soon as I connect to my WiFi it performs a check and states the same reset message.
Which is why I might be thinking that it is the 72 hour lock on and maybe it will go away once it is complete.

I would try it again. If you factory reset from within android, it should disable FRP, including the need to wait 72 hrs.
I wouldn't bother with the repair shop. The latest and greatest info is going to be on the internet and probably from rootjunky.

If it was such a waste why not just return it and pay the $35 restocking fee? Then buy a Google device and unlock it, root it and most likely brick it like half the other people have. And even better yet, research it next time before you buy anything so you don't need to come here and start yet another Verizon thread. And if you can't do any of the above then just enjoy the device as is since you really don't need an unlocked bootloader or root to get the full Pixel experience.

Amazing.

If you are stuck in a bootloop on the Verizon version because you locked yourself out of adb mode, there is an answer. When you load up the phone go into fastboot mode and type fastboot continue
This will actually let you get into the phone before it does its crazy bootloop again and throw you out of adb.

Pixel XL 2 - "Your device is corrupt" after OTA.

Took an OTA and now whenever I turn the device on it says in red letters: "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly". I can still boot into the OS normally. I can still access fastboot. I can still access recovery. I have done many searches and people keep saying to relock the bootloader or unlock the bootloader and flash stock firmware. There's no way to do either because this Verizon variant is locked down like Fort Knox. I don't understand why the bootloader has to be unlocked to flash STOCK firmware straight from Verizon. Smh. Anyways, does anyone have any ideas. about how to get rid of this message?

You could side load the Google OTA image and see if that fixes it. Or just wait until next week and see if the March OTA fixes it. If your device is working properly, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

While I haven't done it personally, I've seen several people do just that from stock recovery. At worst, the install will fail and nothing will be changed. Unlocking the bootloader is mainly for flashing factory images and rooting, not OTA's. Just follow the instructions from Google and see what happens. In your current situation, you really have nothing to lose.

Edit: I think I've found my issue. The person who had the device before me must have sideloaded 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.018, Feb 2018)" to this device and that may be the reason for the error. I am thinking because that's not the Verizon P2XL firmware but the Google P2XL device firmware.

Just flash stock firmware. thats a pretty big mistake to make lol I'm pretty sure I made it quite clear in my guide to backup at least 2 or 3 times. But just flash stock firmware using the commands at the bottom of my guide. Even if the bootloader is locked the commands will work to reflash it still. The need links for stock firmware is also in the guide. And I will say this. If you took the newest update before rooting then you will have to wait for that firmware to be uploaded because its not uploaded yet.

The newest build is only a few days old so it will be nearly impossible to find online. And it has a different baseband and radio than the previous build. But the October update is OCP27.91-150
As long as the imei isn't zero you should be able to get service back. I had the same issue when I flashed an older firmware like a moron. But when I took the update again, I got service back. I don't recommend it because I may have just been lucky, but no matter what don't flash the gpt, asdspo(?) And bootloader with the older firmware. It'll mess your life up.

Ok i guess ill have to wait it out. Tried to flash stock and still unknown imei and no base band version so guessing it was updated. Thank guys!

Try taking the update again over WiFi if you can. You shouldn't have an issue as long as you're back to stock. But the update is only 3 days old so you may have a chance.

Try taking the update again over WiFi if you can. You shouldn't have an issue as long as you're back to stock. But the update is only 3 days old so you may have a chance.

@ninjakira Would my modem.img backup be of any use here? Or anything else? I don't know what is stored where.

At this point no it's gonna need a full reflash of the firmware. I was having issues with my service and went and flashed the OEM file from the 2nd update through fastboot and did the erase carrier command and got my service fixed. Could try that.

If you have the xt1922-9 then that means you have the att version if I'm not mistaken. If so just go to the links in my guide for stock firmware in the att folder. It has both the firmware your on plus the updated firmware from September which is ocp27.91-62-3 plus my guide will help you achieve root. Just please read it all

I flashed bout those firmwares and still nothing i dont understand whats going on or if im messing something up somewhere in the process. It flashes an everything seems to be ok other than the Imei unknown which causes the phone not to read my sim card if im not mistaken. Thanks for taking the time to try and help.

The newest build is only a few days old so it will be nearly impossible to find online. And it has a different baseband and radio than the previous build. But the October update is OCP27.91-150.

Baseband is software. Radio is a piece of hardware. The piece of hardware that gets your carrier's signal. It can't be upgraded without physically altering the phone. Even then it would need to be the same exact radio because the stock drives probably wouldn't work, and the chances of a dev making a version for 1 person with a different hardware would be slim to none.

If you want him to have your Imei number, you could but thats not a good idea.

Try flashing stock firmware. If that doesn't work there are other options still.

You were flashing a gsi not a rom. Even then a rom and even less so a gsi, doesn't contain all the same data as what stock does.

As long as the imei isn't zero you should be able to get service back. I had the same issue when I flashed an older firmware like a moron. But when I took the update again, I got service back. I don't recommend it because I may have just been lucky, but no matter what don't flash the gpt, asdspo(?) And bootloader with the older firmware. It'll mess your life up.
