Alright Sup Forums, I'm in need of your help. I have a Rooted, unlocked bootloader Nexus 5X. I said hey, I'll install cm13. I did so and when I went to install Gapps it failed so I said fuck it I'll transfer over apks and shit from PC. But when I went to boot the phone from twrp it stayed in a bootloop on the Google with with unlocked lock on the bottom. I am restoring a backup I made. Any idea why it looped? Or am I a dumbass and it was just taking its time. I know ROMs have to load a while but typically they load during the boot animation. Any help is much appreciated.

Pic related it's be restoring the backup

Bump

OP here, trying again with the right Gapps this time. Last time I got the ARM Gapps, when the Nexus 5X needs ARM64

Not sure why it would have looped. Imma give a longer time this time.

Alright. Gapps is loaded right this time I hope that it works...

still should've worked

but just give it some time
first boot will take a few minutes

Yeah ik... It's still at the pic above

Did you wipe the system before flashing CM13?

Yes I hit wipe then slid the thing across

Should I do like an advanced wipe?

I haven't done this stuff for months... I have a galaxy tab 2 I did this shit to months ago but got rid of it

No I don't think so, you shouldn't need to do that
Just the wipe you did should be enough

I guess I could do I once more... If it doesn't work I'll try a different ROM

ok instructions for the nexus 5x mentions something about a vendor.img
thats probably whats screwing it up

If you're not worried about data then an advanced wipe wiping everything should do the trick. It'll reset the stage in case some ARM stuff is lingering.

But won't that also delete the ROM and gapp I have downloaded

I don't know how to identify which ROM I have

if you can restore your backup, then check about phone in settings

I dont know if theres another way to find out that info, but I'll keep looking

If you could please help me find a stock AOSP Android 6.0 ROM please

ok I'll look for one

gotta go buddy, good luck with your phone

Thanks mate

That's a nice drill team ribbon you've got there, assuming A JROTC. Thought nobody would notice, kiddo?

lmao poser tryhards that can't into basic training, usually pasty white kids with no real sense of self-esteem

That's akin to a factory reset, though. This only wipes /cache/, and /data/. The installer script should usually wipe /system/, but just in case go advanced, and do /system/, /data/, and /cache/. Make them F2FS if possible, too.

Why are you using GAPPS, though?

/system, /data and /cache, user. Leave the internal memory alone.

If you didn't do it
Flash the GApps at the same time you flash CM13
