How To Unroot Nexus 5X and Fix Bootloop Soft Brick

Image
I wanted to unroot my Nexus 5X with the Nexus Root Toolkit and ended up with a soft bricked phone with a: your device has loaded a different operating system message and after trying to reboot again the other message: your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted. At some moment when the tool tried to flash the bootloader got locked and would not let finish the process, then the infinite loop started again. It took me a few hours and a lot of patience to figure out how to solve this. I had downloaded a factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/images once I had extracted all files from the factory image I analyzed the flash-all.bat file and this is what I could see: fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-bullhead-bhz11h.img fastboot reboot-bootloader ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul fastboot flash radio radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.36.2.20.img fastboot reboot-bootloader ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul fastboot -w update image-bullhead-n4f26i.zip echo Press any
