Hey guys. This is my first post here and I'm new to android (came from iOS). I recently purchased a Nexus 5 and tinkered with it a bit on 4.4 (rooted, stock).
I didn't enjoy the camera quality so I installed CameraMod V1.3. Everything was fine until I installed 4.4.2 on my phone. I noticed that the camera quality become worse and the phone refused to record video. I made the stupid mistake of reflashing (I think that's the right term?) the phone with the stock Camera that I downloaded a while back that ended up being for 4.4.
Opening the camera app would just leave a black screen. It obviously wasn't working so I decided to try to fix things on my own and literally install the 4.4.2 Google Camera APK onto my phone. Now, my phone is telling me it can't connect to my camera..
So.. any help here?
Not sure what you all did, so I'd flash the system.img with fastboot from the 4.4.2 factory image.

Does that delete any data such as contacts or messages?
And do you have a link to a tutorial for that? I'm sorry, total noob here.

You don't have the usb drivers setup. Google Android naked usb drivers and use those

You can use my Nexus 5 Toolkit to write the flash command if you like it has all the files already set up and the drivers for USB are in the directory also
Just enter the command you like in console box but make sure its correct and it should be fine.

im trying to get back to complete stock to start over again because i cant get help with my 'no signal problem' but it wont start my factory restore even though i am using the right img.
the issues started when i tried to install Cataclysm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518660) they have a thing in there saying that its a known problem to not get signal when flashing twrp
(My mobile signal/radio isn't working anymore!
- There's a bug with TWRP that remove/corrupt your baseband during flash. Please refer to the twrp team for a fix.)
no link and i cant find it on google so any help would be appreciated

You can always try the second method for the "BACK TO STOCK" guide from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
Even better you can use the instructions from the second post of that thread to wipe clean all your partitions prior to flashing them via fastboot.

his first priority is fixing it. his second priority is possibly finding out why he borked it and not making the same mistake again. i've borked stuff learning and fixed it with toolkits.
not everyone wants to learn ADB or fastboot commands, or install the SDK, and NOT EVERYONE HAS TO. not everyone is a would-be developer

i didnt go through the faqs before installing, i looked at the rom and what it offered. it said stable so i wasnt to worried about bugs since i was coming from cm11
Some back story. My N5 was stock/rooted, with stock recovery. I had installed the beta Xposed framework, using this post as a guide. Following the install, during the reboot, my phone never restarted. Since then it has not been able to turn on.
Things I have tried:
I have done method 1 & 2 of this guide
I am able to lock and unlock the bootloader, it is currently locked.
I have tried the command fastboot -w
I am unable to perform a factory reset, it hangs at /data
If there is any ideas as to what I should do next, please don't hesitate to let me know.
If I am able to get the Tamper Flag reset, then my plan is to look into the RMA option.
Also, I have been following this thread for info.

Same thing as before. All of the erase commands get processed, but when it gets the the system.img it fails to write it.
I think you've done her in. Can you get into recovery? You might be able to push the tamper zip and then run it in recovery.

So this is just a shot in the dark, but the fastboot command screenshot you posted, you had the command "fastboot flash bootloader."
I haven't read the articles you're using, but is there a reason you're flashing a bootloader after unlocking it? Wouldn't that just lock the bootloader again?
I'd start fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flash recovery, and then adb sideload the .zip you are using once you're in recovery.
Good luck.

I am just following the guide for How to return to stock. But to answer your question, no it does not re-lock the bootloader.
Here is some additional information. When I perform a factory reset in recovery it freezes while formatting /data. And when flashing the stock images, I am able to flash everything successfully except for the system.img

Hello,
I meant to factory restore my rooted N5 and on the advanced TWRP option I chose wipe data. Now I have no OS. I'm not finding a guide on how to install the stock 4.4.2 onto my N5 using a Mac. Is there a process that shows how to do that exactly for a Mac?
thx,

Afaik know you can`t sideload a stock image, only flash in fastboot. Correct me if i`am wrong though. OP can sideload a custom rom and from there return to stock or as @Pirateghost said just use the sdk to flash the image straight away.

Well, I have the Nexus Android Toolkit for oneclick root etc. I don't believe I have USB debugging "on" and I have no OS on the phone to set it to "on". The toolkit will not install the Stock rom is downloaded because is says there's a name mismatch. I choose the option to change name etc and install anyway and it just loops with the same mismatch issue.
Really frustrating. How do I download a .zip file of the rom so I can flash it. All I get are .tgz files when I download the stock rom.
Any ideas?

Now, as long as my USB debugging is "on" (I have no way to toggle that since I have no OS, only recovery. Does the fastboot devices command working verify that USB debugging is "on"?

Download the factory image and extract with 7-zip and find a Mac flash.all command in the fastboot folder which you can select i guess. Haven`t had a Mac ever so no xperience. Make sure you have the following img files :radio, boot, bootloader, system.img zip, cache and userdata placed in the fastboot folder.
Look here for a tutorial http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/526920/20131203/flash-factory-image-nexus-complete-stock-return.htm.

Hello guys,
I was stupid enough to try and flash stuff, without enough knowledge.
First of all:
I came from 4.4.4. stock rooted with Franco kernal
I did make a backup in TWRP, files are on my pc.
Process:
First of all, I did a factory reset in TWRP
I flashed the rom, radio, kernal for root and supersu.
First boot went fine, although WiFi couldn't be found.
I decided to boot into recovery again to wipe my SD Card
Upon rebooting, phone is looking all black without a real 'launcher', sd card not found etc.
Than:
I managed to push rom, radio, kernal and supersu to /sdcard by adb in rocovery mode
I reflashed all of these, but the same problems occur
What should I do now? I'm ****ting my pants..
Please help me!
Power it off... Hold down both volumes and power to boot into bootloader and fastboot a system and boot img or as you've already wiped sd. The whole lot from Google!

Just read the guides in General and it'll tell you what to do...
Your error is most likely linked to a file that was edited. Anything from your gps.conf to having Xposed installed. For OTA to work, your phone has to be completely stock. Rooted is ok, just not modified.

hi there,
i read the thread and i got the whole process....except one....you were telling me about flash revovery...and boot loader.......so there has to be an existing image stored in the computer, through which we can overwrite the recovery and boot loader in the device......so do i have to download the factory image from Google or what.....?????
Download the factory image for 5.0 from google onto your pc. Unzip it. Turn on usb debugging on your phone. Its in developer options. Flash each image from the unzipped file in fastboot. Read the guide rootsu pointed you towards for the exact order and commands to enter. Once you know how to use fastboot itll take you ten min to be up and running on 5.0 lollipop.
Don't you have to have your boot loader unlocked?

The update wasn't installing for me either. I had to update manually. The best way is to root your phone, install twrp and flash the stock lollipop rom.
