Hello, I have a Nexus 5X. So I installed the Pixel Rom (Cusotm Rom) also have TWRP Installed and unlocked bootloader. Then it showed that there is an update so I decided to update. After I clicked update, the phone restarted and then it said no command. Then I decided okay, decided to lock the bootloader and factory reset my phone. Did that and now it wont boot. It just opens TWRP recovery.
flash factory tot file.
Lock your bootloader,when you got all customize things in your your phone that could result a brick phone.

hi all.
I got a Vodafone Romania Galaxy Nexus yesterday and started doing the usual stuff , oem unlock, root, install custom rom... Everything went smoooth ( i had another gnex in december so i knew what i had to do). Used Galaxy Nexus toolkit 5.3. I installed ARHD 2.1.5 with stock kernel then i tried to revert back to stock. So i got the images from google site and reflashed with the same galaxy nexus toolkit.
Then it started. After flashing was ok, phone rebooted and started to bootloop. Shows the Google logo, vibrates and reboots. Countless times.
Tried to reflash it. same stuff. Used the odin file chainfire posted. Odin flash was fine too, but when it rebooted, the same endless loop. Tied all rom variants ( its a GSM Nexus). Nothing, still loop.
I thought i should re-lock it and try to get it back, but the fun part is I cannot re-relock. I start the phone, go to fastboot, it shows up when i type : fastboot devices, i do fastboot oem unlock command, does its magic, shows up as locked, but after reboot ( even if i reboot bootloader), it's unlocked again.
I can flash temporary CWM but not permanent. Needles to say i didnt't do a nandroid before....
What else can i do, if there's anything i can do to make it work?
Thanks in advance.
Hey all
First of all, this is the first time that I'm trying to root a phone, and it didn't go well.
I have an LG G4 with Marshmallow installed on it. Found out that I needed to do, and it didn't look too hard to me, so I tried it.
I managed to unlock my phone's bootloader, and get TWRP onto it. (Which apparently was needed in order to get root access on 6.0)
I flashed the system image. Got a confirmation that everything went well, so I restarted (via the TWRP menu).
And now, my phone is stuck in the booting process. (displays the logo + "Bootloader unlocked" in the left upper corner.)
I tried a factory reset via the system recovery, didn't change anything.
Since I voided my warranty, is there a way to fix this myself? (I haven't found anything that helps me so far)

why did you flash system image.? rootedsystem.img are used on locked bootloader..
if you unlocked bootloader and installed twrp. all you had to do was flash superus in zip format or a custom kernel.
does download mode works? turn off phone pres vol up connect usb cable.??
if so then flash stock firmware. with LG UP. you need to flash the same android version you are on.. theres antiroll back security on some phone and if you use lower android it hard bricks phne . so if you download KDZ make sure its the same you have..
What model phone (H815, H811, H812, etc) do you have and what did you flash?
Can you boot to the bootloader?
I cant get to download mode/bootloader
It's a H815
Couple of days ago I got this OTA notification that Android 7.1 preview is available for update. As my phone is rooted I started the manual update procedure. After the flashing was finished, I restarted the phone and then I saw it was stuck at the Google screen. Just stuck, no response. Seemed unusual to me.
Let me tell you that I have been modding my Nexus 5 for about two years. I am familiar with most of the tweaks that can be done to a Nexus device. Nexus 5 served me amazingly. I bought Nexus 5x 3 months ago.
So, after it was stuck I restarted. Still stuck. I will tell you step by step what I did then:
1. Flashed the OS 7.1 again (I dunno why, the flash.all script doesn't work for me, so I always do that manually) - result is the same.
2. Last October update (NBD90W) was available in the folder so I flashed that - same result.
3. I downloaded the previous one (NRD90S) and flashed that - same result.
4. I locked the phone and unlocked again to erase everything (not sure if that's a good idea), then flashed the OS again - same result.
5. Then I tried LGUP and the tot files to give it the factory version. LGUP detects the phone, started installing. When the installation is finished and the phone restarted - same result.
6. Now that I gave it the factory version the phone got locked!
7. I searched google for hours but couldn't find a way to unlock it as the OS is not booting and I cannot turn USB debugging on!
8. Then I tried the default recovery mode (Android recovery, from the recovery screen Power + volume up) as it doesn't require unlocking the device. Wiped the cache and restarted - same result.
9. My phone is detected by the pc and ADB. So, I wiped everything and tried ADB sideload and get this error E: footer is wrong
10. I tried Nexus root toolkit. It detects the phone in fastboot mode, then restarts it and then it again is stuck on the Google screen.
I am extremely depressed!
I am from Bangladesh and there is no authorized LG servicing center here. So, I can't ask for there help.
All that I did over the past two years was the awesome threads of xdadevelopers. So, a big thumbs up for you guys :good:.
I learnt from the web that phone can be hard bricked if a wrong bootloader is flashed. That's impossible for me as I always remove the factory image extracted files after flashing is done from the ADB>platform-tools folder.
Now, is the phone hard-bricked? If it is, what to do with it? Any kind of suggestion will be very much appreciated.
So i have searched all over the internet and havent found ant help. My phone is in a bootloop and i can't get out of it, i have tried with Nexus root tool kit to factory reset but just bootloop have tried it twice. Also tried to install factory with TWRP but still bootloop. I have an unlocked bootloader, I also tried to lock it and start with a new factory image but didnät work either . So please help me if you can i'm willing to try anything can't afford a new phone right now.
BIG UPDATE
So now after some work with trying to fx this i have found the problem with it. It's that my phone dosen't install the files that i install with either adb or TWRP. I found this by putting pure nexus rom on the phone and installing it with TWRP and then remove it from the storage. That was when the storage on the phone said it was still zero even when i had choose to install a new rom on the phone. but it still bootloop with the google logo and the four dots that pulse and then reboots.
Another Update
So i tried with installing the pixel rom from the xda forum and it all went well and all with the insallation no errors what so ever but my boot animation changed to pixels but still continue to bootloop still don't know whats happening.
I'm not sure what state your device is in right now. Is the bootloader locked or unlocked? When you tried to lock it, don't try that again, did it lock or did it remain unlocked when you re-booted into the bootloader? Were you able to successfully flash the factory image?
I'd suggest you carefully read thru this and pay particular attention to how to flash a factory image, http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930

Whell when i locked the bootloader it got locked but then when it bootlooped for one to two hours i opened it again and went to ask the pros at xda. I also read through the guide you linked me and did as said in the tutorial but my phone is still bootlooping right now.
Did you successfully manually flash each of the image files in the latest factory image? Bootloader, radio, system, boot, etc.

Hi I have a pixel xl that I bricked. Ill give you a quick history of what I did. I had this phone rooted with magisk and on LOS and it is my backup phone that I play with. I had to send my pixel 4 xl in for a warranty exchange. So I had to use my pixel xl for a few days and I decided to return it to stock and lock the bootloader. So I did that but magisk seems to have persisted through the process of returning to stock and the phone worked fine I just got the message that the device has a different operating system installed and I still had root. Anyway I now have the pixel 5 and I was playing with my pixel and it just started boot looping and the phone gets really hot. It could just be that the hardware crapped out.
So I was able to unlock the bootloader and use fastboot to boot twrp and mount the system and I copied the twrp installer over and tried installing it. It did not work and I think i wiped out all recoveries because now when I try to boot recovery it just goes to boot the system like there is nothing there at all. Oh and I tried booting back to twrp and wiping everything. So that's where I'm at now and not sure what to try next. Do I use fastboot to boot into twrp and download the last ota file and sideload it? I'm open to any suggestions that anyone might have.
