Allriiiggghhhtt, so I managed myself to root and install custom recovery (TWRP) in my Nexus 5. Shortly I unpurposely flashed the wrong kernel that I downloaded for swipe2wake ability, when I wanted to flash the Faux kernel into my device. And after flashed the wrong kernel my device won't boot, but still can get into the recovery and also tried to re-flash the kernel, fix permissions, restore my back up, wipe the Dalvik and cache and still won't boot up.
Any solution?
Actually, I managed myself to see another solution to re-flash the stock rom which means full factory reset, but at least I want to troubleshoot this thing first before I flash it with stock rom.
Depends on what kernel you flashed. You might be hosed or it might be recoverable.

It looks like I cant post an outside link because my posts are not approximately 10 posts.
Actually it's for Touchcontrol, just download it for just in case.

Nope, I'm not using that app, I had it before in trial but uninstall it and flash to stock kernel. But I had download its custom kernel that I get from the link that the developer provided in Google Play Store description and stored in my storage, and never flash it from TWRP. But now I unpurposely flashed that custom kernel when I tried to flash Franco Kernel.

I'd advise you to read my post in this thread a while ago.
Once boot.img was mentioned I was able to get it all working with a custom rom! I just didn't know what to look/search for!
First time flashing a custom, so I do appologise.
Many thanks

Which kernel are u trying to flash?
Are u familiar with fast boot? If so you need to enter the command fastboot flash boot boot.img. Also u may want to do S-off so u can just flash kernels through recovery. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
He already tried fastboot, it says so a couple of posts above yours.

Need to provide more detail than that, if you want help.
As already asked, what kernel are you trying to install? What was the exact fastboot command you used? Any error messages? Can adb read the phone, or do any other fastboot commands work?
If you are trying one of Rohan's kernels you need to flash it in recovery and still fastboot flash the boot.img afterwards. His kernel installs something during recovery that has to be there even if you have to flash the boot.img separately.
If that isn't the case, then yes more details are needed.

When someone is trying to help you, it's best to give all the info they ask for, even if you think the information won't help or is not important, because if you did know better, you wouldn't be having any problems. The more information you provide, the easier it is for someone to figure out what's going wrong.

See exad's post and well as the mine above. If it's a custom kernel you need to flash it in recovery and fastboot flash the boot.img as well.

Try any stock ROM and see if it works.
Make sure as it is very very important to wipe off your data and system partitions before you install a ROM.
Once your stock ROM is working, download any ROM update app from market and install the ROM you want.

But TWRP can flash recovery.img itself. Switch to IMG instead of ZIP in the Install menu.
