Dont you have a backup of a rom after you got root on it???
Pull it out there
although you might have too perform: "unyaffs system.img"
unyaffs
I don't have a system.img file, I just have system.ext4 from one of the rooted ROMs repackaged for CWM, and a blob file from the stock Asus ROM.

If you followed the guides to install a custom animation, they tell you how to remove the one you flashed so you have the original back. Unless you flashed a custom rom with it pre-packaged I suppose. You could always flash a stock rom and rip it using ADB though.
Yeah, I flashed straight to a custom ROM without grabbing a backup of the stock animation. I guess I'll nandroid and pull from a stock ROM through adb.
down load the stock rom, extract bootanimation.zip from system/media
push it to system/media or data/local
you could also use root explorer to move the file to the proper location

Thanks. At this point I've already gone and flashed a stock ROM to pull it myself, but this will help other users that also want the stock boot animation.

you didn't have to actually flash the rom, just down load and extract.

With what tool? It's not like Asus was kind enough to bundle it all in a convenient zip file. Extracting the stock update zip file leaves you with a big file simply named "blob". How the heck do I open that? And if I use a rooted version of the ROM for CWM, I get stuck with a .ext4 file instead. Neither of the two files are compatible with standard extraction tools like 7zip, so enlighten me as to how I would open them.

I followed this guide,

Oh I see. So re-naming is the best way to go i guess?
Also if i dont, I'm guessing ill have to flash clockwork everytime when I install a new rom or restore? and What if I get stuck in a bootloop or something? I'll have to reflash clockworkmod through adb?

Just rename the script. All it does is flash stock recovery at every boot.

okay. is there a nexus s4G tutorial for this?
nevermind, found it. thanks!
That script is run on every boot, replacing recovery if it is not currently stock. It does nothing else (you can open the script and read it in a text editor for proof of this).
Since you would be rooted anyway, feel free to literally just open up something like Root Explorer, ES File Manager, etc, and rename install-recovery.sh to something like install-recovery.sh.bak. It is exactly like renaming a file on your PC, and your problem will be solved after you flash CWM one more time.

Yup! I fixed it haha. Now Its time to flash away.
I accidentally pushed the wrong framework-res.apk file in adb and now im stuck in a bootloop
I have stock recovery and am rooted
I can enter download mode but I don't want to lose all my data.
What can I do?
If you didn't make a nandroid backup... You will have to re-flash your rom over again
Edited:
Just noticed your on stock... Yikes. Looks like you'll have to Odin that thing. When pushing apks. Set the permissions to rw-r-r before rebooting
And definitely watch what your pushing

I'd prefer people use the heimdall oneclick (check 'Projects' out my sig).
Odin always makes things complicated, and it's closed source.
Heimdall is open source, documented, and actively maintained.
Just a suggestion
Or try using Heimdal One-Click to flash a custom kernel only. Then find a kernel you can flash in CWM that has TWRP. Then you can copy over your original framework-res.apk in the TWRP file manager and see if it will boot.
None of that will mess with your files except framework-res.
It's been a long time since I've been on stock recovery but does ADB pick up the phone when its in recovery?

I know it does with custom recoveries but if he can get it picked up in the stock recovery he can just push the original .apk back. Easy. If it picks it up.

F. I'm off topic.
You're rooted on stock recovery. Install root explorer, over write the framework-res.apk, reboot.
Thank you so much guys.
I was able to flash a custom kernal with Heimdall and I pushed the right framework-res and now everythings back to normal
I'm truly grateful for all your speedy and helpful replies.
I would advise you to flash a simple zip (take any simple mod or gapps) valid for your Android version and edit its updater script to just flash the system folder. Then add the zip a system folder with framework folder and put your right framework-res.apk,
This way you just flash, fix permissions and good to go... no Heimdall, kernel or any other change, and you're back in business.
Another even simpler way is to use our device's Aroma File Manager and simply copy the right file and fix permissions...
Ok so i flashed francos kernel trough FKU updater app and i want to go back to stock just to compare the battery life and some stuff again and to decide what to use.
How can i flash stock kernel back, do i flash all factory images or is there .zip file to flash trough recovery, or there is another way to do this? thanks for your replays.

Last thing since you came from Franco kernel (the following procedure is specific):
The Gingerbread Man said:
Return to stock romz
Franco's kernel changes these system files below, so to change them back you can remove the .bak extension, or fastboot system.IMG and boot.IMG from a Google factory image which is probably easier and faster.
1 - Rename /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so.bak to /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so
2 - Rename /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh-bak to /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh
3 - Reboot to the boot loader and flash stock Kernel by downloading the Nexus images and then fastboot flash boot boot.img

So before flashing the stock kernel in recovery do the step 1 and 2 (even after if you forgot, it should be good).

With a file explorer, directly from your phone, (Root Explorer, Es File Explorer, etc...) follow the path to the files in point 1 and 2, rename the files and save. Then reboot in recovery and flash the stock kernel if you want to flash it via recovery (equal to step 3).
If you are not used with this kind of stuff (modify system files by yourself), flash the system.img and boot.img by following the link I provided above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701).

im not used to this stuff yet because i rooted my phone yesterday and im quite new to this because last device i rooted and flashed lots of custom roms and stuff is to HD2 so i know the basic stuff but not much
and one of the topic question. why does my colors look a little diferent when i flashed the francos kernel? i know that there is something about color profiles etc. but i do not know where to start and look into that

@anshumangoyal, maybe the there is an "undo" zip file, a revert to stock zip file? What mod have you flashed?
Dirty flash your rom, no wipe, and you won't lose anything...
And no automatic backup, you need to do it yourself in recovery, first thing to do when you flash some stuff.

Is this information you are looking for. I had unrooted latest android software, which I rooted using wugFresh tool kit software on windows 8.
Model: Nexus 5, LGD820, D821
Android 4.4.2 KOT49H
I hope this will help out.
Nope, it's not what I asked but...
I gave you a link to some full stock roms (rooted) to flash in recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52732041&postcount=4 (use the first one for example).
Put it on your phone via computer, reboot in recovery go to the zip file you've just put, flash the zip file and reboot, the modified files from the mods you flashed will be replaced by the original stock files.
Use this link to "learn" how to use some commands (manually) and return to stock when you encounter a plroblem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701. Here you need to flash the system.img (I guess, since I don't know what you flashed), or "all"...
Maybe harder for you since you used a Toolkit the first time but with time and reading...
If it seems even too hard for you, then in your Toolkit is there an option to return to stock, reflash the system.img?
When I ask you what mod you flashed, I mean it's a theme? A kernel? A sound mod? A camera mod? Because if we know what you flashed, maybe we can do a revert zip file for you by replacing the files by the stock ones in the zip).
What is the exact name of the zip file, the last you flashed and gives you problem?

Hey guys! So I was changing my boot animation, and saw an interesting file in /system/bin, install-recovery.sh. I understand that recoveries can't be flashed because of the locked bootloader (). This file will most likely amount to nothing, but I thought I should share my find. Any ideas? I attached the file below.

It's a script file that installs the stock recovery from an 'update.zip' file, if you have flashed a third party recovery such as twrp, this file usually overwrites with the stock recovery when flashing in recovery which can be annoying.
