Help needed, installing stock firmware on a LG / Google Nexus 5X (bullhead)”

you want TWRP to flash TWRP, so to recovery !

So then now l need an e image… l have many since lve downloaded a bunch…

you could have Q , R, S ,T ?
i don’t think that U is available ?

choose a tested, confirmed working one…

Found a system image…lm copying in twrp, then l will try install

what is its name please ?

It was the image from this file

But it did not work

I think lm getting ahead of myself here so lm gonna sleep to and see if tomorrow we can keep forward .

image

this is not /e/OS .ZIP on your photo, but GogolOS .ZIP!

Possible… l dunno anymore l have downloaded too many to know which is what…

And we did try to get the original google OS to work before changing OS

the old Q version you already have downloaded is repported to work well
it is called e-1.17-q-20231221-UNOFFICIAL-bullhead.zip

R and S are reported not to work yet

the fresh T version (from yesterday) is not yet tested

Does the phone currently survive a reboot ? This would be the test for success !

If you have Google + Twrp recovery, is that a working phone ?

At the time, this picture Post #187 seemed out of context, but is explainable. Is this what you have this morning; Google phone with standard Google recovery, on reboot ?

This is a common tripping point. Sometimes that message must be ignored.

What I would do first / next is only find out "was userdata repaired ?

The answer would seem yes as you were able to move files to internal storage. So does the phone reboot in a stable and predictable way ?

Hello…
I wish l could film the phone 's behavior…

If l press start button
I get the corruption warning
Then Google and nothing more
Google stays but do not load
After a moment back to black

If l press start button + volume down
Recovery mode
The corruption warning
Then google
Then twrp …

Then off because if l press start to bring back the light the corruption screen is back again then google loong moment

Now if l swipe twrp as soon as l see it l can enter twrp
and get to reboot
system
l am warned there is no OS
I swipe anyway
Black
Corruption warning
Google stays forever phone does not go off…

Good morning,

So do I deduce that this is a “non working phone” ?

While Google and TWRP might coexist am I correct to say it is not happening here ?

Please can you explain that in different words ?

What is new is that now when the phone shows google it stays that way… not going black after a moment
Just like this… for as long as l do not touch it again

And l do not get twrp everytime after the recovery mode l must try a few times to get twrp with what l described above… start + volume down button, often l get google screen instead…

Thanks, I just wanted to have the best picture of the situation before offering a suggestion. I think it is significant that the image seems to show locked. I guess no reaction to any sort of “Swipe to unlock” ?

What I would do now is to run flash-all.sh with the intention of trying to put the phone back to Stock Google. Personally, I would test it for at least 24 hours to find out if the phone was fully OK before any other flashing of new stuff.

I suggest, no Wipe or erase, so it would be back to your working directory Bull and … phone in fastboot mode …

./flash-all.sh

where again this will be the modified script without the -w

One complication might be if you added anything “harmful” (most unlikely) to internal storage, in which case maybe we will have to

fastboot erase userdata

… but I think we will learn more without doing any wipe at this point.

you overwritted TWRP by the gogol recovery,

does Gogol system mode boot ?

I get something new

I dont seem to get twrp anymore but it always came after the recovery mode.

twrp IS a custom recovery mode !
