Nexus 5X Bricked

Sitting at home 4 days ago, watching Colbert with - literally - my phone lying on my chest. Felt a buzz picked it up and it's rebooting.

No big deal, right? Well it seems somewhere in downloading 7.1.1, it bricked!

Have tried all recovery options, no dice, Even the power+down volume lands me back at the Google logo.

So this is what kills me, am on two factor for work - and a ton of other stuff - and was forced to run to a T-Mobile store and by a new phone. Picked up a S7 as it's the closest in performance to the 5X, but now after 2 days of real use, totally unimpressed.

Google gets UX, the S7 is miles behind where I was with the 5X, a two year old phone.

So my point, is there any chance to recover the 5X? Or am I toast?

Wanted a Pixel, but those are sold out and work requires a phone *now*.

Thoughts? Suggestions for recovery?
