What Unblod does is quite simple. It's a tool that automates the entire process of generating a boot.img that runs on 4 of the A53 cores. It's all about just a few taps and right now supports only Windows!



STEPS

As simple as just extracting the attached ZIP and launching Unblod.exe! The rest just follows and requires just your presence of mind (and a bricked Nexus 5X in fastboot mode, of course). All you need to do is make sure the build of the ROM that's on your device matches that of the boot.img supplied - that's more of a precautionary step. The rest is self-explanatory! Make sure you leave your Nexus 5X in fastboot mode connected to your PC if you choose to use the auto-flash feature that's bundled in.



BUGS

None at the moment. The tool is in BETA right now though it has been tested for complete success on my Nexus 5X as you can see in the attached screenshots. Kindly let me know if there are any bugs! Also if your device is suffering from a motherboard failure or any other kind of hardware fault, Unblod ain't gonna do no magic. It does what it says and I take no ownership of your bricked device!
