I'm in the same boat. Updated to KRT16O a week ago and it worked fine. Yesterday morning I had a notification that an update was available. I touched the update button, watched it count down from 10, the screen went blank and that was it. If I plug it into my computer, it is detected as a QHSUSB_DLOAD device, which according to searches is bad news. I've got an RMA with ASUS and will be dropping it at the post office tomorrow.
It seems the the bootloader was corrupted, but from what I can tell, even if the upgrade modifies the bootloader it should have happened during the upgrade which runs in recovery, not before the upgrade even began.

Use the Kit Kat factory image to restore your device to an "unbricked" state. I updated to KST16S OTA and had no problems. Unlocked, rooted, stock ROM, stock recovery.

I wish it were that easy. It is the bootloader itself that is corrupted. I doesn't start far enough to use fastboot. It doesn't matter the button combination, the screen stays totally blank.

Damn that sounds awful, and I was nagging for not getting the update, that's way worse. So you can't access bootloader mode at all? Did you try to use fastboot commands or adb when plugged to the pc?

Worth a shot if not already tried:

I've actually gotten the QHSUSB_DLOAD before when trying to get into bootloader but pressing the wrong buttons.
I was eventually able to get out of it going through various button sequences.
I believe holding down the power for a long time worked in the end, but I forget now.

nope nothing helped me. it's still bricked. i tried every button combination up to 3 minutes. No sign of power.İt was 32 gb. i think google ****ed up this time.

Bootloop, soft brick?

I don't know why, but for some reason my nexus 5x is stuck in a bootloop. I was rooted running 6.0.1 (MTC19T) when it shutoff and was not trying to update to N as others were.
I can access the bootloader, but not recovery (just reboots). I have flashed other stock 6.01 OTA's which hasn't changed anything. Flashing TWRP again does nothing. Was trying to follow THIS thread, but PC does not recognize phone in download mode. Also, the phone will only stay download mode for about 15 seconds before rebooting. Any advice?

Well If u can access bootloader you can flash any firmware using fastboot commands.

Totally weird, but my 5x just did the same thing. I opened the Yahoo Sports app, and it froze. An attempted reboot, and it's now stuck in a boot loop. If I try to enter recovery, it reboots. Unfortunately, my desktop is at work, so I can't troubleshoot right now.
I'm starting to wonder if I'll be reading several of these posts today. Hmmm...

Yes, but I've tried flashing multiple different stock images from the google repository by unzipping them and flashing the components to no avail. Is there another way to flash it? Should I be flashing something else?

UPDATE: tried everything. Getting a replacement from google. Only a month or two from the year warranty. Week without a phone. Thanks Obama...

Same here, when I went back from 7 to 6.0.1 bootloop. I unfortunately did not get to try the TOT file method as I had already RMA it out and just this morning caught this.
Out of all the Android devices it amazes my how easily this device bricked. I had numerous HTC devices and despite being carrier locked and using a java card to unlock the bootloader i never once had this issue with with any of them, they are very forgiving and will be seriously considering the 2016 HTC nexus as this one is only 4 months old. Im nowhere near n noob to rooting and flashing but disappointed how unforgiving the device is. Granted there are some things I really like about it, but bricked in 4 months is a bad sign of quality IMO.

Nexus are impossible to brick, unless you flash stock factory image...

I have had this same problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/5x-bootloops-recovery-t3391459
Eventually after disassembly, I called Google Play and LG, to have it replaced.
I also had a cracked camera glass and screen, got a new Nexus 5x , and havent been charged since it seems the phone was due for failure no matter what.
The problem SEEMS to be the button or signal of of the power button always being pressed. When it's off it will even turn on by itself, and maybe if your lucky itll stay on for a while.
Call in, request RMA

H790 stuck in bootloop after random crash

Hey all, I need some assistance here. So my device is Nexus 5x H790 unlocked bootloader, stock ROM, Usb debugging enabled. I had the latest October updates (90S I believe) and everything was running just fine on it until about 5 days ago. I was using my phone like normal and suddenly it turned off. I could not turn it back on and when it did it would get stuck at the Google screen and then begin to bootloop several times before turning off. I have gotten to the recovery screen 1 time and wiped cache but still same result. There was one instance where the phone completely booted up and was receiving the numerous texts over the few days and even sent a few. Then it crashed again after 5 mins :crying:
Here is what I've tried:
-Attempted to reflash October images from googles website. I have experience doing this before from using Heisenburg's method 9 (no change)
-Then began to research and thought it was the power button getting stuck issue. Brought it to a repair shop and they opened it and checked out the power button and said it was firmware not the button and to factory reset (brought it here because the device is 13 months old and figured it was cheaper/faster than sending to LG and waiting a whole month to get it back)
-Brought home from repair shop, reflashed latest October images and still could not boot up fully.
-Now I want to factory reset but cannot get to recovery screen, when I enter bootloader and scroll to Recovery it just goes to Google image again....I believe there are commands to wipe device userdata and tried "fastboot erase userdata" and "fastboot format data" but gave errors
I will try next to use a different USB port, now that just found a thread on here saying the 3.0 ports dont seem to work with that command even though I've used the same port for every image flash I've done in past
Any help/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Same problem...
I have the same problem. Mine started bootlooping to the Google screen the same day my warranty expired...
I'm gooing to send it off to LG, but I really wish I could get my pics and texts off before they wipe it

How could ur warranty be expired when it is 24 months by buy date.

I'm fairly certain its 12 months for manufacturer. I did not get the extra Nexus protect

In Europe there is 24 month warranty for all sold products. Kind of bad thing or kind of good thing.

ugh wife's Nexus 5x did this same thing. Been up all night trying EVERYTHING. Fastboot works but bootloader is locked so I can't do anything. Going to recovery just reboots the phone to logo.bin and then turns off again. Download mode is unreliable and when I get it to finally trigger, it doesn't go to the second phase where it waits for a firmware update (so I can't do the LGUP thing).
So I guess this is an OTA problem? Some BS.

In France LG does not guarantee the 24 months since March 2016. my nexus 5x is broken down one year and 1 day after the date of purchase with this same issue. At first LG told me that the warranty was OK then they retracted. I have a beautiful invoice with the change of motherboard ....

Just curious how much the new motherboard was quoted for repair? At this point I finally reached the recovery screen and performed a true factory reset but havent tried flashing latest images from google. I will update and let you know if that worked.

Zenfone 2 only boots Android when plugged in a USB.

So I was using my phone normally yesterday, until it shuts down randomly while using the camera. So I restarted it, but it still restarted as I got to my home screen. So I said to myself that there must be something went wrong in the rom that I am using (which is LOS 14.1), but I've got a backup before **** happened, not to worry, after I restored it though, IT STILL RESTARTED, but the weird part is, It doesn't restart if it is charging. So I wondered maybe the battery has given up, but in the TWRP, it doesn't restart even unplugged?
Things that I had tried:
1. Tried a new rom (this time using BORETS ROM), still restarts when unplugged.
2. Ran the backup again, still no change.
3.Drained my battery in TWRP, charged it up to 100%, still restarts.
Also, when I boot up my phone without a USB cable plugged in, It restarts when loading the main rom (the rom's splash screen, not the main splash screen), PLEASE HELP ME.

The problem just seems very weird to be a hardware problem , So, again, after charging my phone up to 100 percent, booted it up to Android and then unplugged it, and I had about a minute of activity now before it shuts down. Again in recovery or boot loader, it never shuts down.

Do me a favour , test with cable attached to phone but detached from charger to rule out USB socket , cable etc:good:

If its out of warranty , i would first check all connections inside phone ,
it could be battery
it could be main board or usb board.
If it were battery though , it should shut down connected to lower amp pc usb2.
Not much you can do really apart from above, usb boards are cheap`sh to buy, maybe worth the gamble ? Obviously if connections dont fix before ditching if main board. Try a discon of all connections and reconnect before ditching

I have the EXACTLY same problem.
Did you solved?

Nexus 5x bootloop after oreo update

So here is the thing, My Nexus 5x went it to bootloop, and nothing seems to work. the screen just froze, and then It started bootlooping. goes to google logo, the reboots again into google logo. Well since I use to intall custom Rom, I just did what I would usually do, reflashed the image. Didn't help. left the phone for a couple of minutes, it booted, got me to start up, and half way of setup, it rebooted again into bootloop. thought maybe the oreo has something to do with it, ate the oreo and reflashed nougat image. didn't help either. just now after a bit of not using it, it gets past the google logo, but the animation freezes, and back to google. tried factory reset and dalvik/cache wipe, didnt help but now i can not get into recovery.
so basically Im screwed. no warranty, no nothing. now Im just stuck with this ****ty windows phone.

The bootloop is purely a hardware issue. There is no permanent fix except to either get a replacement CPU or send the phone to LG.
Disabling the 2 big cores should allow you to use the phone for another couple of months. Don't expect it to be permanent, though.

i have faced the same issue on mine.

This isn't possible if you have a locked bootloader unless you can somehow get your phone turned on... If I am mistaken I'd love to be corrected so I can fix this. If this really is a hardware issue, then I guess I'm screwed. This phone is just over a year old and Oreo has been installed for a couple weeks, so this pretty much blows.

Just send it in for $10 (UPS with tracking #) to LG and they will put a new motherboard in it. I just did it with my out of warranty 5X that I purchased in May 2016. LG show status "In Warranty" and there was not charge. Phone works faster and better than ever. I upgraded to Oreo an it is running great.
If you need a temp phone buy something like and unlocked (tmobile compatible) phone like I did $70 Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 until you get your phone back. My project Fi sim works great in that phone I just needed a micro to nano SIM adapter which I got for free at a local cell phone shop.

excuse can you please tell me the detailed process of sending phone to lg .

Any help?

continuous reboot after Oreo update
Hi,
I am facing issues with my Nexux 5x after updating to the latest version of Android. I received a notification for software update and I did it and as soon as the update was done, the phone started rebooting continously. I tried wiping the cache, factory reset via recovery mode, but nothing actually works. Could anyone of you suggest me some ways to get it corrected or to get the old version back.
Thanks

Just send it in for $10 (UPS with tracking #) to LG and they will put a new motherboard in it. I just did it with my out of warranty 5X that I purchased in May 2016. LG show status "In Warranty" and there was not charge. Phone works faster and better than ever. I upgraded to Oreo an it is running great.
If you need a temp phone buy something like and unlocked (tmobile compatible) phone like I did $70 Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 until you get your phone back. My project Fi sim works great in that phone I just needed a micro to nano SIM adapter which I got for free at a local cell phone shop.

Do you still have warranty when you send it?

No, my phone was 1.5 years old and out of warranty. I did not buy an extended warranty. LG extends the warranty on the Nexus 5X well beyond the standard 1 year for the bootloop issue. Also, my phone was in excellent like-new condition.

My 5x was purchased November of 2015, and they covered mine at no cost under warranty. Even provided a mailing label for me to send it in on their dime. They did require me to provide original proof of purchase (which I luckily was able to lookup). I sent it in on a Monday and got it back Friday that same week. Was mind-blowing fast turnaround time.
