[ROM]Nexus 5X Stock ROM [6.0.0-MDB08I]

[Shawn5162]

So hi people. I have (or will soon have) a Nexus 6P. But I had a little free time and noticed TWRP was available for this device. So I decided to make a flashable version of the Nexus 5X's latest official factory image.

Downloads:
6.0.0 - MDB08I: LINK

Instructions:
Bro, it's a Nexus device. Nobody needs any instructions...Just flash to your hearts desire.

NOTE:
I do not own the device so I haven't tested it. BUT I am 80% sure it should work. Can some one confirm.

THIS ROM IS AN UNMODIFIED VERSION OF THE STOCK SYSTEM.IMG!!!​

You can only flash recovery.img and boot.img via TWRP
Not system.img

I'm doing so right now. So far it is stuck on the Google emblem. I was already on this build and rooted. I am unfamiliar with anything but Samsung devices so please bear with me. TWRP asked if I wanted to root again before I rebooted and I said yes.

Edit: Been ten minutes and still stuck on Google emblem. Going to go back to stock and reroot.

Select no, reboot to recovery and flash supersu.

You don't need anything fancy to flash system.img, just boot to bootloader, and do a:

fastboot flash system system.img

I've done it several times to recover from bootloops after experimenting with /system.

 

[Tulsadiver]

Select no, reboot to recovery and flash supersu.

Should I try it again? Is there anyone that can deodex this zip?

Edit: tried again. Same result. Stuck at Google emblem.

 

[jbrinkley]

deodex, rooted, then exposed and GB^^ can we fast forward a few weeks so I can stop with all this waiting.

 

[shawnanastasio]

I can confirm that flashing this on my 5X results in a failure to boot. I've tried everything from flashing SuperSU to a full system format. I eventually resorted to using fastboot to flash system.img which resolved the issue.

What da heck man? Where's our N5x development? @sykopompos and our Frank N5x ?

 

[gerg004]

Sorry for the nub question, but I'm stuck at the Google screen and I don't see a system.img anywhere in my SDK folder. Is this a separate file that needs to be downloaded? Where can I find this to flash in fastboot?
