sorry if this doesn't quite belong here but I was curious to go back just to stock kernel, not completely stock itself. Could anyone link me to a good step by step for me to do this? Do i use adbfastboot the boot.img only? Im just a a little confused..
Sorry I am still new and learning. Thanks for any help!
Download the relevant kernel to your device from here.
Reboot to recovery
Install the zip you just downloaded
This stuff tends to be a lot simpler than you'd expect, tbh.

Download the factory images from Google : https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerheadkot49h
Extract the boot.img and flash it via fastboot.. (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Make sure your on stock rom before you flash it..

Fastboot, you flash with fastboot and yes the kernel image is boot.img. You should probably also reflash your ROM (system.img if you're on the stock ROM) as many custom kernels also modify the system partition.

I am indeed on stock rom. To flash the system.img is pretty much the same as the boot.img yes?

If you are using the flashall script then remove the -w flag and you're good to go!

So no worries since you don't flash all (you use the "Method2" from the link I posted above), about the "flash-all.sh" file, when you open the factory image file, you have this script, more info here about the "-w" to delete: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51949577&postcount=4.

thanks for you help my brother. Just another question.. If I have a nandroidbackup on the computer that I made before I installed my custom kernel, could you somehow use that to get back to the stock kernel? Is that something...or I am just asking the most ridiculous questions?

If want the stock kernel download the factory images from google and flash the boot.img via fastboot. That's the easiest way.
If you still want to use nandroid backup then copy the nandroid backup to the correct location... Head over to Philz Touch recovery and use the custom restore option by which you can select only the "boot" and "system" partition. But I haven't tried doing it so can't say whether it will work or not. However, technically it should work. I have no idea how to do this using TWRP though as I haven't used it much.

Forgive my ignorance, i've tried to do a few searches to answer my question but none have directly addressed it.
I recently rooted 2.20 successfully, installed CleanROM. If I want to flash a kernel, say cleanKERNEL, all I have to do is move the .zip onto the phone, boot into bootloader, and flash it that way? If I flash a kernel, will I loose all the customization I've done on the current ROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm unclear on whether you can flash kernels with the new hboot in 2.20, but if you can, you flash it like anything else. It shouldn't affect the rom as long as they're compatible.

Right, I did do that. But now I'm trying to flash a kernel. I have the new CleanKERNEL zip file, but I'm not seeing a boot.img in the zip.So I keep looking for some sort of .img, flash it, move CleanKERNEL zip to my phone, then flash that?
Any help would be appreciated.
Oh right... It builds the boot.img on the fly when it is installed from recovery. I believe you need to try and flash the kernel zip file from recovery. It will fail since you have to 2.20 hboot, but it will create the boot.img in a temp dir somewhere on your phone, which you can copy to your pc and flash via fastboot.

Yes, except for the very last step of re-flashing from recovery. I haven't personally tried this since I'm not on AT&T and can flash whatever from recovery, but I've seen this method discussed several times in the Blackout BeastMode custom kernel thread.

Looks like the people in the blackout beastmode thread already have a boot.img for them to use without looking for the one created in the temp file. Unless I can just use the boot.img from cleanROM which I'm already running? Or the kernel requires its on boot.img??

I'm new to rooting and android in general. I'm currently running 4.4 rooted with stock I believe. Says ponury kernal in my settings.
I'm trying to flash the update for 4.4.2 via the TWRP install. I get a failed error: error executing updater binary in zip.
I've made sure my zip is the 4.4 to 4.4.2 but still no luck. Any ideas what I can do? Do I need to wipe something before I can put it on there?
On a first thought, you need to get back to the original kernel.
Update from 4.4.1 to .4.4.2. has no problems with different kernels installed, however this won't work from 4.4. to 4.4.2.
The exact error message would be also helpful

You'll need to get the factory image and extract the files. Inside there is another zip file which you'll need to extract. That's where you'll find the images. Use fastboot flash system system.img The Mac command is slightly different, I don't remember exactly what it is. To fastboot boot its the similar format

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

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).

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.

Oops I am sorry, I was not aware of terminology here. If I see in System Setting I have Build Number: KOT49H and Kernel Version: 3.4.0-gadb2201
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?

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.
What is the exact name of the zip file, the last you flashed and gives you problem?

Thanks,
Now I understood. These were two Zips I installed were: cargo_N5_RebootMenu_KOT49H_odex.zip and cargo_only_Batt___rechts_odex_N5.zip
These were 2 mods I had.

Ok, good.
The first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/mod-advanced-4-reboot-menu-odex-t2521809, you have a revert zip file (just below the mod you flashed): Back to stock: cargo_N5_Back_to_stock_RebootMenu_KOT49H_odex.zip.
The second: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ps/mod-center-clock-battery-mod-odex-t2526039, same thing you have a revert zip file in attachment: Back_to_Stock_odex_N5.zip.
Download them and flash them to restore the original files, you really need to read closely before flashing stuff

This is Super Find. I am sorry, I was not aware of this. Next time I will check this for sure and make sure I also take a backup before doing these nasty things. Many thanks again for your help.
Hey there!
I have a problem: The USB-Port of my Nexus 5 doesn't work anymore. To be sure that I have full warranty I wanted to reset it to fully stock.
lastely I flashed:
Stock Android 5.0 (LRX210)
CWM Recovery (v. 6.0.4.5)
xposed framework
bootloader (HHZ12d) is open
rooted
I made a factory reset to check if this would fix my USB-Port but it did not help.
Since I cannot use the USB connection it's not so easy to get back to stock.
In the internet I only found solutions with adb and fastboot via USB.
Is it possible to flash the stock recovery with CWM?
I thought about locking the bootloader with the app 'Bootunlocker'.
In the moment I feel like i am on a one-way road that's why I wanted to ask before I lock/flash/unroot something which I need for a later step and cannot recover without USB access..
I want to thank you here in advance and sorry for language mistakes (i am not a native speaker)
efrant explained all the steps on the N4 forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34749844&postcount=2
Once again this guide is for NEXUS 4 so do not flash the mentioned files!
Here is a plan i came up with after searching on the web:
Flashing a Stock Rom with CWM to uninstall Xposed framework completly.
Root via CWM.
Locking the bootloader with 'Bootunlocker'.
Using the 'Untamper' button in 'Bootunlocker'.
Using 'Flashify' to flash the stock recovery.
Unroot completely in 'SuperSU'.
Are all steps possible in this order?? Or did I make a mistake in my plan?

Can I use this version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-nexus-5-port-4-4-2-kot49h-odexed-10-t2507021
Plus boot.img and recovery from here:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...oogle-nexus-factory-images-06-may-2014-a.html
This would be a downgrade from android 5.0 to 4.4.2 is that okay with e.g. CWM or something else?!
Or is there a lollipop version? Always when I found odexed versions they seem to be not really stock anymore like this one:

No! Do not flash files from Nexus 4 forum. You have a Nexus 5 so only flash files for this specific device otherwise you'll brick it.
Here's a thread maintained by vomer for stock flashables: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/rom-n5-l-developer-preview-t2796003
Check other threads to find flashable zips for the boot.img and recovery.img. Or you can flash the stock boot.img (only) with Flashify app.
No prob to keep CWM during the process even if using TWRP would be safer.

Sorry, maybe I am just too stupid to use the search bar but unfortunately I cannot find flashable zips for the stock boot.img and recovery.img. :/

Stock recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/recovery-zip-collection-t2636279 (last file to flash!)
You should have the stock kernel after flashing vomer's zip.
Follow the instruction order as indicated by efrant. As a reminder: Warning: if your USB port is indeed broken, and you complete all the steps below, you will have NO possible way at all to unlock your bootloader, or get root, or install a custom recovery. Period.
