Nexus 5X Uninstalled Android By Itself!!

Welcome to our AndroidForums, Eli .

Where did you get the update.zip file that you were trying to sideload?

I'm kind of guessing you renamed one of the factory image .zip file to "update.zip"?

I'd not be surprised that the "E:footer is wrong" message is because it's not a true OTA-format update.zip file (that and the signature verification failed message--I don't think the image-*-*.zip file are signed like the OTAs are).

Anyway, I'm guessing there is a remnant of your Android OS still on your device since I'm guessing that the fastboot oem unlock is seeing/knowing that you don't have the unlock enabled and that's why you're still seeing the "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed) message".

I'm guessing there has to be a work-around for this catch-22, I just don't know what it is at the moment...I'll keep looking, too.
