You can't put a kernel on without root.
Rooting the device...well unlocking it specifically... will wipe all of your data.
i already unlocked it n now just wan root it... will lost evrrything?

Nvflash does not touch your data partition. So to be sure you need to boot into cwm first and wipe data/fact reset. Then boot into apx mode and nvflash.
Don't forget to mash the thanks button.

Download the zip-Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip- from here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
And then flash it in recovery
It worked for me
any chance of getting rooted without flashing bootloaders or whatever? just like in the old times with superoneclick or megatron?

untill the V28b, i was still afraid to flash the bootloader, 'cause someone said that would make the phone lag. i only use the prerooted rom in xbsaV7,V8 thread to get root.
but recently i flash the bootloader to get root in the official v30a to find out if it would get lag or not! well,after a few days test, the answer is no! it won't get lag issue.
after rooted the rom , i flash back the LG official bootloader, the phone still be rooted. so i recommend u just flash the bl it wont hurt your phone.~O(∩o∩)O~

Hi guys,
I was wondering if I should root my nexus 5... What advantages would it have over the unrooted phone apart from custom roms? Any special features?
Thanks!
No special features. But custom roms. Why wouldn't you root? My motto, if you can do it, do it. And put a recovery on.

Yes, besides custom roms/kernels also for Adblocking, Titanium/Nandroid Backup, theming and tweaking etc etc.

If it were me, I'd root it, put on a custom recovery, and make a nandroid of it right out of the box. Then I could always go back to brand new easily. Right now there are no custom roms but that will change fast.

If you full wipe yes, but you can restore apps and app data with Titanium Backup or Helium.

CF Auto Root is easy as pie, download and extract the right file, enable USB debugging on the phone, go into fastbootmode, connnect to the PC and select root.window.bat in the extracted file.

After you rooted install a custom recovery to make a nandroid backup and to be able to flash roms and kernels. First backup your apps and settings with TB or Helium.

You need to use a custom recovery to make a nandroid backup before installing a new ROM but yes, after you root, install a custom recovery, make a backup and copy it to a safe place that won't get wiped during ROM install, you are ready to play around. It is always a good safe practice to already have any necessary drivers on your computer so you can use fastboot to rescue your device if you make a mistake and brick it.

Look here for custom recovery`s http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development and no you don`t need root for Helium backup.

Sorry for being pedantic... So once I have helium, i can change rom as many times as i want that as long as i backup everytime before i do it, i can put it back in just a couple of minutes even if i changed rom right?

You`re not pedantic, just a bit lazy! All your questions can be answered in the right upper search bar and Google bro.
Guys is it possible to root after you've isntalled cwm? like for example once you're in CWM and you reboot your phone via cwm it asks if you want to root? If I select yes will it actually root? or can we flash SuperSu.zip to root?
Yes it will root, but you have to download the supersu app from google play store,or you can just flash supersu.zip, but this will be the same.

Thank you vangeodee, I have a couple of questions:
1- Will this process wipe all my data and external apps , so I have to back up first ?
2- Suppose I could install the flash KDZ, can I unroot then or it will install the old ROM from the begining ?

Depends, you can either do a normal flash of your current ROM or you could do a CSE flash that would wipe everything.
Here's a rundown:
1.) Normal Flash - flashes stock stuff on top of whatever is running on your phone at the moment. I did this after I installed MLKernel which, unfortunately broke my WiFi and Camera so I had to flash back to stock. I tried this option first because I didn't want to redownload/install everything. Surely enough, I restored stock kernel and got unrooted, but the WiFi and Camera were still broken.
So if you're looking to just remove root and not lose anything, this is what you'd want to choose. Look for the correct KDZ for the current stock ROM you are on. Flash it wrong, and I can't guarantee anything.
2.) CSE Flash - nothing much to write about. Cleans the entire 16/32GB of your internal. that includes apps, files, pictures, documents or anything really that's stored on internal storage. If you've got Titanium backups in internal, well kiss those goodbye after CSE flash.
Or you can direct in Superuser app unroot.
