*** The issue is resolved!!! Thanks to xda, the solution is provided in the link in the comments.***
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 their 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? Will replacing the motherboard get my phone back? Any kind of suggestion will be very much appreciated.
Bummer. This sounds a lot like what I just posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/req-help-bootloop-7-1-1-beta-ota-enter-t3486957
I really hope someone has an idea how to fix this...
Like DC_Knight said, please try the TOT method given here. Hope it works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/tutorial-how-unbricked-nexus-5x-16gb-t3481766
what is your model H790 or H791
16 or 32 GB?

Well, I don't get bootloops, my phone is just stuck at the Google screen and I can enter recovery mode (lying Android with red exclamation mark), from there I can enter Android recovery mode, where ADB sideload is available.

How about trying to get a replacement if you're still within the 1 year warranty?

Please say something about replacing the motherboard. It's very very pricey, so I want to be sure -_-
sounds like its hardware problem, contact seller to replace it. if not going to happen, then buy a new phone from a company that does have a dealer in your country to warrant. aside of camera, the specs of other phones at this price range are better
That thought is also roaming around my head, still Nexus is Nexus!
What's the price going for the 5X over there? It's as low as $280 here in the US which is easy better then it's original.

Try the tutorial here. It's little bit different from the original thread ,
as @bardhi92 said, THE MAIN DIFFERENCE HERE IS THAT AFTER I FLASHED THE .TOT FILE, I BOOTED MY PHONE INTO BOOTLOADER AND DID AN ADB SIDELOAD OF THIS OTA.ZIP
Well, for my case, eventually I successfully bring my N5X alive. The tricky part is to enter Android System Recovery (hold Power + Volume Up) after flashing TOT.

Goodluck, and let us know the result.. :fingers-crossed:
A warranty is a warranty, it doesn't matter what country you're in or where the repair place is. People in Canada send stuff to the USA for warranty issues all the time. I'd get on the phone with LG until I heard what I wanted, but I'm a stubborn old goat lol.

Hi, my name is Lenard, and my problem is the followed:
A few months ago i rooted my M9 with HTC Dev, installing a custom recovery, I used also the Xposed framework, but nothing else more.
After a day i noticed that Snapchat doesn't work. So i prefer to took that step back because i use it ...
I took the ruu 3.35.161.12 for my phone with a branding. Put it on the SD card and do all how it should be. Bootloader relocked, stock firmware. It works, but the update to android 7 comes yesterday ... and i download it. My phone restarts and install it. But on 25 % the phone says "Nope", the red triangle and an exclamation mark comes.
Can someone help me ?
Sorry my English is not the pretty best !
Thanks in Advance !

The Update is always there, but the install process canceled until 25%. But there was something very strange...
A friend has also a M9, and i ask him if he could do the update on his phone to check if it works. He did not do anything with his M9, not rooted, and not set S-off. Nothing. And the Update fails too. So... The problem can be the update, not my M9...

Don't forget to factory reset and clear the caches via Recovery after you flash.

Not sure, I just charge my phone when needed. I've never had an update or ota notification. I flashed this rom thirty minutes after it was officially released and I've been using it ever since with no problems. I'm still on CRG2 and I don't see this second Oreo update for the 930u

I bought a Galaxy S7 from this scammer on craigslist. It won't boot and was showing "an error has occurred while updating the device software". I did volume down+power+home buttons and it comes back to recovery mode. I selected factory reset and few other options, I just get "failed to mount /system (Invalid argument )" message. Can someone please help resolve this issue? I believe I need to flash with factory image but I don't know the history of this phone. I'd really appreciate some help.
Thanks.

This is the unlocked 930u firmware. 930v is Verizon. Flash it and find out. The 930 is the phone itself. Not quite sure what you mean by the 930. Thinking maybe u mean 935v which is the s7 edge

Thanks for your response. I found some video that explains how to bypass google lock (FRP Bypass). I had to load a combination firmware that allowed me to change the setting and enable developer mode. after that, I loaded firmware for this phone but it's in a reboot cycle. phone boots up fully, welcome screen, I start setting up the phone and BAM.. it reboots and that viscous cycle repeats.
Please advise.

Might need to attempt a reflash. Before that go into recovery and wipe n clear caches then do a factory reset

Hi lads a friend of mine just gave me MOTO Z2 FORCE XT1789-01 and it doesn't turn on. For the first time it showed me a screen with 'Cannot load the android system" and after I installed the latest official firmware it shows me 'your device is corrupted' I know there is no way to unlock bootloader but perhaps anyone knows what to do?
*Bump*.
I know it's an old post but I'm having the same issue. Anyone got a fix?

Well a third of us are probably stuck in bootloops. The other 2 thirds either have dead batteries or the screen is peeling off ?
well you three are lucky, mine was dead after reboot, no screen at all,
I bought one used xt1789 last Sunday, and currently using xt1635
mine old xt1789 was rooted and shown corrupted before, did you all tried to flash original firmware before?
I got -05 and 06 variant, was recused by flashing official (same channel) firmware
Is this even possible to do? I am in the soak test for Pie and ever since the first soak test that came down the line from Motorola, it broke the phone's ability to rotate. I tried to file a bug report on the issue with Motorola and never found where you would even post, I tried again a few weeks ago but never heard back from Motorola.
Is there any way to go back to Oreo on the device? I tried a handful of apps that show the output of the various sensors in a phone and the ones would be responsible for rotation, aren't even detected. I had rotation right up until the phone rebooted and started upgrading to Pie. I have also done a factory reset on the phone and rotation still doesn't work.
Thanks!
I've already tried to downgrade "inside" Oreo only, and had a lot of problems with it. So I doubt...

You could flash the Oreo firmware, needs unlocked bootloader though.

So you just mean unlock the bootloader before downgrading to a stock oreo retail image? Also, don't I have to make a backup of the EFS / IMEI before downgrading?
That is what I did basically AFTER CAREFULL CONSIDERATION AND RESEARCH. BUT IT IS YOUR PHONE IF YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABEL MESSING AROUND JUST TAKE IT TO A SERVICE! For more check out this XDA post. I usually downloaded firmware from here.
If it worked in my case, does not mean it is going to work for you as well! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE!
Take care, all the best!

Which one of these device names applies to my Z2? I have a XT1710-01.
I have a Z3 play now, and I'd like to sell my Z2 off but I probably won't get much for it with broken rotation. I feel more than comfortable doing this as it is the only way to get the phone fully functional again. If I brick the phone, I won't be out much. I even tried selling my Z2 to friends but as soon as I said rotation didn't work, they did a hard pass .
Thank you for the help!

That might be the case, I never flashed from Pie, I always had Oreo before I flashed another oreo.
