- In today's video we show you how to unlock the bootloader and then root your LG Nexus 5X.
The Nexus 5X is an awesome phone with an a lot of potential. Unfortunately some of that potential is locked away (double-tap-to-wake, dual speakers, etc). Rooting your phone is the first step in unlocking the full potential of your device and today we show you how! Be on the lookout for future videos showing you how to unlock some of those additional features!

Perfect video! Very clearly explained, thanks a lot!
Fantastic it worked
good video....quick question: Instead of adb sideloading SU, can't I just intall it on internal sd and flash using twrp (after unlocking bootloader, of course). thanks.
Thanks Roy, it worked on my Nexus 5X (7.1.2). I rooted the device to try & fix the black screen occurring with calls. The rooting went fine but the black screen is a tougher nut to crack, I've tried a few tricks like installing dialer.apk, proximity sensor recalibration apps, but no success so far. Will try wiping cache & uninstalling phone updates...
+Wayne Elley you might want to look into the Pure Nexus ROM. If I remember right, it didn't have the black screen problem.
EpicDroid thanks for the tip. Actually in the end it was a hardware problem. Dust had got in under the glass in front of the sensor when I replace the screen some months back. So a good clean with meths and the phone function is back working!
+Wayne Elley awesome! Glad you got it sorted out!
when you enter the file name just type like the first three letters and press the Tab button. faster and safer :)
What is the brand of the usb type c cable used for nexus 5x in the video?.....because i want to buy one.
+Dusayanta Prasad it's been a while since I did the video and I can't see the cable in the video. But I'm 99% positive it's this one: amzn.to/2kl76TJ
If I root my device, will it still have the OTA's?
Steps worked for me up untill installing the SuperSU, it gave me the message to not install it in on my nexus 5x but I couldnt find the program after the phone was restarted. tried downloading supersu from the playstore but it said it couldnt detect a spoof. any ideas?
There have been several updates to SuperSU and Android since this video first was published. My bet is that the version of SuperSU is not compatible with the latest version of Android. Give this one here a try: s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip Same method, different ZIP.
why can't i type it in the commands in cmd?
it doesn't recognize it, i ran it as admin
Is there a way for me to back everything up before I unlock the booloader, I have a lot of apps and photos and contacts and just general stuff that I dont want to reinstall.
I'll check it out and let you know
I think its way easier with nexus root toolkit. Detects your phone and build automatically, 1 button to unlock bootloader, 1 button to root, just sit back and relax while it does the job.
please help!!!!!!!!!!! ive done all the steps correctly, and after i booted up my phone, superSU was not installed.... WHAT DO I DO?
+Raz Nahuel Yahalom the only thing I can think of is that you might need to try a newer version of SuperSU. If you followed the steps to the letter it should have worked.
frst thing i really like ur video's
second - does this gonna work on 5x with android 7.1.1 beta and if yes then should i have to download the same SuperSU file ( UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip ) or is thr any newer version available
ur welcome :)
I follow all the steps well. But after the sideload my phone starts but I do not have supersu installed :-( helppp
I succeeded in rooting it ! I had to use another method... Anyway, nice video ;)
Great if you said what directory your terminal window is in. Can't really see. Kinda important. Thanks
+Curtis Smith if you use Minimal ADB it takes care of all that for you. :-)
Thanks for the response. But I have no idea what that is. Sorry to be such a nub. Still trying to get my system variable path straight so I can get to Java and adb from the command line
OK found it. I'll try it out. Thanks
No worries! If you use Minimal ADB and Fastboot it takes care of all the path setup and everything. It creates a desktop shortcut that you run. It loads it from your Program Files or Program Files (x86) folder. Just make sure the files you need for rooting are in that same folder and you'll be good to go.

Here's an XDA thread about it if you need setup help: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Good luck!
Followed everything to the letter. Finally unlocked the bootloader, but root method not working according to Super SU. All of the identical screens in the video were on my phone too. I'll figure it out. Maybe an earlier version of twrp
what rom should i install after rooting my nexus 5x ?
***** thx mate, and how about a kernel?
Mine does not have OEM unlocking. Sad . any work around?
Did you unlock Developer Mode first?
@@EpicDroid Yes. got the usb debugging option that way, but don't have the oerm unlock option
is someway to plug your phone in computer when you dont have charger with usb.
sorry for bad english :)
ty :)
when I reboot my phone in bootloader mode after I already unlocked the bootloader, it says me that its locked, what can I do?
+Marcello Baroli it sounds like it didn't unlock correctly. I would suggest trying it again. Make sure you follow all the steps exactly.
(Better safe than sorry;) Does this work for Android N beta program?
can I just back everything I want to my Google Account. and then just root and wipe everything. then I can just login into Google and get everything I want back?
+John Brickell yes and no. A lot of apps will allow you to restore the app but not the data (like saved games and stuff). If you're good with that then yes, you'll be good.
does it work on android 7?
***** thx ;)
it says waiting for device when trying to flash twrp help!!
also, nothing appears once I type fastboot devices
+It's Holz I would check the device to make sure USB debugging is enabled. If it is, then check to make sure you have the right drivers setup on the PC.
Yes, I do have the drivers and yes USB debuging and oem unclucking are both on
Could it be because I have the latest Android O version? (I have the October patch)
Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you! Your latest message got flagged as spam and I missed it. :(
I did run into a similar issue with my Nexus 5X once or twice where for some reason the computer I was using used the wrong drivers and it wouldn't recognize the phone in ADB or Fastboot. I had to go into Device Manager and change the drivers the computer was using to recognize the 5X. Apparently it's a common issue, especially with Acer computers (which my old computer was when I had the issue). Here's the thread I found when I had the issue. forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63740970&postcount=5
Hope that helps!
is this copletely safe ?
Umm how about the updates that google provides any probken there ?
Umm thank you for the quick awnsers
Is there any other way to get the doual speaker mod without root ?
I have never rooted anything before so I am a little scared
Anyone who trying to do it with 7.1.2 should following putting the phone in developer options and use this www.google.com/amp/s/forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/orig-development/tool-universal-fastboot-adb-tool-t3475833/amp/ to unlock your bootloader and flash your recovery with twrp image. Next download forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703 latest stable superuser make sure it is on the root of your phone storage and flash through twrp not with side loading adb and there you have it a rooted nexus 5x it may work with 8.0 Oreo but haven't test it.
Thanks for the assist!
If not found fastboot devices
The Nexus root toolkit don't recognize mi Nexus 5X
Ok, thanks. I'll tryit.
Very bad image...
No, thank's. Your tutorial is great.
first and foremost these instructions are so unclear its ridiculous, you never explained anywhere in the video to download a ADB tool for the cmd prompts. you start ur video with the cmd prompt already open and never explained anything. people this is not plug and play. the beginning of the video is true all the way til he shows the command prompts and then its a brick wall if your not familiar with bootloading. NEED TO HAVE A ADB tool for the cmd prompt line. smh
Thank you for the feedback. I'm sorry that the video didn't cut it for you. When I made this video seven years ago, I was just starting out on RUclips and may have missed a few steps. That being said, the target audience is a group of people that would already have adb installed on their systems, I won't make that assumption in the future. I hope you were able to get your device rooted and running the way you wanted.
@@EpicDroid im having issues with getting the adb tool. ive found nothing to work.... this video is on the correct path but i dont know where to go to find an adb tool
