Android System: A vendor image mismatch has been detected. Typically this means your vendor image is out of date. Please ensure your vendor image matches OPM7.181105.004

Download the latest vendor image

Under “About Phone”, Tap Build number until Developer Mode is enabled.

Settings > System > Developer Options

Enable: Android debugging, Debugging notify,

Connect the phone to the computer, in the terminal (Linux) enter:

./adb reboot bootloader

Extract the vendor image and used these files (or similar):

bootloader-bullhead-bhz32c.img

radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.42.5.03.img

Place them in a folder path that works for you or in the same folder as the platform-tools

./fastboot flash bootloader ./bootloader-bullhead-bhz32c.img

Wait until the Nexus 5X settles

./fastboot flash radio ./radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.42.5.03.img
