[Q]How to reinstall firmware(radio)? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I formatted my firmware from clockwork recovery and I tried installing a ROM. Problem now is I don't have any radio(baseband) and I'm not sure if it has caused any other problems. Currently running Purity ROM 4.4.2

Probably need to fastboot flash cache.img
Search this forum for "cache.img" or something

Fastboot flash radio <name of radio.img> or simply adb flash a flushable zip of a radio.

The latest radio image from google radio-hammerhead-m8974a-1.0.25.0.23.img can be extracted from the Nexus 5 4.4.2 stock rom.
Then use zephiK's instructions to flash it.
The latest stock ROM can be downloaded from google at https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-kot49h-factory-02006b99.tgz

You can download the factory image and flash the radio in fastboot ._.

[Q] Is xtracted recovery.img from stock firmware ok to odin flash like TWRP was?

Hi. I am comfortable with using Odin to flash TWRP recovery using the recovery.img file. I extracted the recovery.img file from my stock firmware that I downloaded. Would I be able to use that file to flash my original firmware's recovery back to erase TWRP and go back to stock recovery? Or would that not work?
Yes that should work.

[Q] How to get back to stock recovery?

I have 210.12.40.falcon_umts.EURetail.en.EU ROM installed on my XT1032.
I also have TWRP recovery. I want to install Lollipop OTA so I have to get back to stock recovery.
I tried to flash recovery.img from https://mega.co.nz/#!HRpRTR4Q!GNPL3a1Syc8vwholky1wNNfX4rQ-24swytFM6cUVowM via fastboot but it's not working (red triangle). How to do that?
You need to flash back to stock 4.4.4 with no root and stock recovey, update Motorola Services app in the play store, then check for OTA updates..

Please read before answering.
I have stock 4.4.4 and I have OTA avaliable. But I can't install it with custom recovery.
My problem is only that I can't install stock recovery.
Did you unzip the file and try to flash the stock recovery using fastboot?
You did not mention whether your ROM was rooted, had any apps removed, etc,. and this is why I suggest re-flashing to make sure you have a completely stock ROM.
You have the EU retail ROM on your phone and the link is for the Retail GB. Not sure if both ROMs use the same recovery and partition layout.
I've just finished flashing stock recovery, this is the guide I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/gpe-ota-lrx21z-5-0-1-xt1033-xt1032-t2969847
You're going to have to download mfastbootv2, Minimal ADB and Fastboot and the batch files, then mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img and I guess you're done.
Though I've did the whole tutorial, so I'm not sure if that one command is enough if you only want to flash recovery, but I think that's all you need.

So, for last 2 hours I was trying to flash stock recovery. I tried to flash different ROMs, wiped data and system several times. Nothing seemed to work. After flashing recovery.img from any stock firmware package there always was red triangle and it didn't work. All custom recoveries works.
So since I've already had my data wiped, I just flashed Lollipop with fastboot and it works well. But still doesn't have stock recovery.

Should I flash the factory image?

Hello, I'm still on cataclysm lollipop and want to upgrade to marshmallow. Would it make any difference if I first flashed the whole stock package (radio etc) 6.0.1 via fastboot and then flash cataclysm via twrp? Would it be "cleaner"?
I don't think it really matters as you can manually flash the radio and boot image in fastboot.

How do I upload the latest RADIO and Bootloader?

My Nexus 5 is rooted, have the latest TWRP.
I just checked Google Binaries only I don't know how update the latest radio and bootloader.
I have also Nexus Root Toolkit thanks
Any simple zip file?
Download the latest stock rom, unzip, flash boot and radio file using fastboot commands.
