Wiping 5x back to factory? (TWRP installed) - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Nexus 5x is begining to really crawl, I'd like to start fresh from factory but I dont know how to do it. I have TWRP installed and last time I did a factory reset it seems to still stick. Does anyone know how to speed up the nexus 5x without having to factory reset?

Safe to factory reset after rooting?

Hello all, I was just wondering if it would be safe to wipe my phone (Factory reset) after rooting? I just figured it would be better for my phone if it was wiped and rooted, kinda like a fresh start.

[Q] Nexus 7 (2013) not working.

Following the 4.4 update both cameras stopped working
When I open the app, the tablet freezes and I have to re-boot again.
I've done:
Boot in safe more several times,
Uninstalled the stock app and reinstalled
Tried different apps.....
Nothing works
Thanks for your suggestion.
If it didn't work directly after the factory update, then something may have gotten messed up when running it. Have you tried wiping caches or a factory reset? A more worse case scenario would be flash some of the factory images again (like system) to see if it fixes it.

Have tried to factory reset the phone from recovery? If that doesn't work you probably have to flash ROM via Odin.

Just wondering how serious is this? Out of all the phones I've played around with for the last 7 years this is the first time I've see this. I'm $hitting bricks!
I would try to factory reset like it recommends. If that doesnt work then time to exchange the phone.
Good luck and let us know how it goes...
Also, did you try rooting?
Yes I rooted. Alright so I managed to resolve everything THANK GOD!! I thought I was down CAD $1200 (not including customs)... Main problem was I didnt mount the System in TWRP before formatting, so no matter how many times I tried to format and install the only custom ROM available it would show me that error. But all is well after getting the stock ROM from Samsung and formatting it trough Odin.

How to go back to Nougat after Factory Reset?

Hello Everybody
I have really done a stupid thing to my Nexus 5X today.
I was planning to sell it and so created a dummy google account was playing with Android O in it.
I factory reset the device without realizing that it would not revert the OS version to Nougot.
The Android O is not going away even after doing Factory reset and factory data reset from Recovery.
How should i revert back to Nougat ?
I just signed as a proper Google user and opted-out from the Beta.

How can I Factory Reset while rooted without bricking

So I stupidly tried to upgrade to the Pixel 4 Launcher before the official Dec update came and even after trying to uninstall/reinstall the .apk and downgrade etc, I still can't get the launcher to be remotely usable without the error popups if I have gestures on. So I am resorting to factory resetting and just starting from scratch.
I feel extremely dumb asking this as I've been rooting/customizing my phones since the G1, but about 6 months ago I had to send in a phone for RMA and when I factory reset it, wiped the OS and the bootloader was locked, so I am making sure I don't do that this time as I'm now out of warranty.
What is the process of factory resetting when I am rooted with Magisk and have the bootloader unlocked? I don't have a custom rom, just stock Android and I do not have TWRP installed. I feel like it's as simple as just going into Settings and hitting Factory Reset in Reset Options, but I can't remember if I did that or something else when I bricked the RMA phone and want to make sure.
Again, sorry for the completely stupid question, just trying to cover the bases. Thanks in advance!

It's like you said, go to settings and factory reset. Or, go to stock recovery and do it from there :good:
