Anyone with the bootloop problem has been successful on returning the 5X to life by replacing the motherboard?
that's a stupid question. new motherboard means new operating system. maybe you should just use fastboot and flash stock firmware on your phone easy
where can I get a new motherboard at?????
in most 'google image boot' issues, it is a hardware issue, not software. besides, the phone will not allow a bootloader option.
yes …….and its the only way after bootloop
