Detailed step-by-step instructions for flashing LG Nexus 5X (Bullhead) firmware at original firmware with an unlocked bootloader in Fastboot mode.

Attention!

For all further manipulations with the device, an unlocked bootloader is required. To unlock it, this instruction can help.

Installation instructions

    Create a folder in the root of the C:\ drive named " Android».

    Download the archive with the original firmware image and unpack it into the “Android” folder. Find current version can be found on the official website.

    Open the command line and go to the created Android folder with the command “ cd c:\Android\"(commands are written without quotes).

    Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable.

    Make sure that the computer finds the device via ADB.
    To do this you need to enter " adb devices" to the command line. When a request appears on the phone for permission to debug via ADB on this computer you must press " Ok", while selecting the item " Always allow from this computer" If the device is visible, the text “ List of devices attached" and a list of all devices (for example, xxxxxxx device). If instead of “device” it says “offline” or the list is empty, then you need to update ADB, check the drivers/cord, change the USB port/computer.

    Reboot your phone into bootloader mode.
    To do this, you need to turn off the device, turn it on while simultaneously holding down the Volume Down key and the Power button, or command line enter " adb reboot bootloader" If everything is done correctly, the following message will appear on the smartphone screen: Start and Android “lying” on its back with open lid.

    The first time you connect to a computer in Fastboot mode, the system may ask for drivers. To install them, you must specify the path to the folder with the downloaded drivers. If this does not happen and the device is not detected, you need to go to “ device Manager", expand drop-down menu " Other devices" and double-click on the item " Unknown device"(or " Android 1.0") With exclamation point in the yellow triangle. In the " Are common» click on the button « Update driver", refuse to search the network and specify the path to the folder with drivers, while activating the item " Including subfolders" A warning may appear stating that the publisher could not be verified, but you should still ignore it this message and continue installation. After some time, the drivers will be installed.

    Check the availability of the device in bootloader mode by entering the command " fastboot devices" If the device is connected correctly, the device identifier with the word “fastboot” will be displayed (for example, “ xxxxxxx fastboot"). If nothing is displayed or “waiting for devices...”, then you need to update the drivers, change the USB port, or try to do these steps on another computer.

    Now you can start installing the firmware in one of two ways. Both methods require that the phone is in bootloader mode.

    Method 1 (Automatic)

    • At the command line enter " flash-all.bat" and wait for the firmware installation to complete.

    When the operation is complete, the device should reboot. The initial startup may take some time, but no more than five minutes. If after this time the device is still “hanging” at boot, it is necessary to perform the so-called. Hard Reset. To do this you need:

    • Put your phone into bootloader mode.
    • Use the volume buttons to select the item Recovery Mode and press the power key to confirm your choice.
    • When a small recumbent robot appears with a triangle and the text " No command", hold down the power button and press the volume up key once, then immediately release them simultaneously. The phone will be booted into stock recovery.
    • Now you should select the item “ wipe data/factory reset" and on the next screen - " Yes -- delete all user data».
    • After deleting data is complete, select “reboot system now”.

    This time the device should boot without problems.

  • Method 2 (Manual)

    On the command line, perform the following steps one by one:

    1. To clean the system:
      • fastboot erase boot
      • fastboot erase cache
      • fastboot erase recovery
      • fastboot erase system
    2. Now you need to flash the bootloader and reboot:
      • fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-bullhead-*.img
      • fastboot reboot-bootloader
    3. Next, flash the modem and reboot the device again:
      • fastboot flash radio radio-bullhead-*.img
      • fastboot reboot-bootloader
    4. And finally, flash the system in this way (if you remove the -w parameter, the user files will be saved):
      • fastboot -w update image-bullhead-*.zip
    5. Or unpack the archive image-bullhead-*.zip and manually flash all system components as follows:
      • fastboot flash system system.img
      • fastboot flash boot boot.img
      • fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
      • fastboot flash cache cache.img
    6. To completely clear user data, enter:
      • fastboot erase userdata
      • fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
    7. Wait for the operation to complete and reboot the phone manually:
      • fastboot reboot

Sometimes there comes a turning point when the firmware gets boring and you want to sit on the “good old stock”. This instruction It is also suitable for people who have some technical problems and need to return the device under warranty (we remove the hacking flag).
