Either use adb to push a ROM zip to your phone, or flash the stock images in fastboot

use fastboot to flash a recovery and then use the recovery to mount the sdcard on a computer so you can push a rom over. if you want stock fastboot can flash stock.

Yes.
You can also flash a rom from a usb stick by connecting it to the phone using an OTG cable.

Hey guys
I seem to have goofed up trying to enable power save mode. I'm still on stock and s-off/root. Can I just go into the bootloader mode and do a factory reset?

I went ahead and just flashed a stock rooted rom. Basically I had managed to corrupt the secure.db when I was trying to enable the power save mode.

Just wanted to know if its possible to root (towel root) flash custom recovery and custom roms and then if I decide to later revert totally back to stock unrooted nexus without a PC. Ive attempted to read up on this but I'm a little confused that ill need to use SDK and ADB which i can't have access to at the moment or have the skills to use.
I've seen apps on google play to unlock boot loader once towel rooted but I'm just unsure if i can revert totally back to an unrooted nexus 5 with original recovery, without a pc as I'm using an iMac and having really unreliability with it :/
Id greatly appreciate any help :good:

There are a couple different options.
I'm not sure if flashify requires a unlocked bootloader. Root, flash custom recovery with flashify, make a backup. When you are done either restore backup or if stock already use flashify to flash stock recovery, delete root apps, unroot via supersu.
Boot unlocker I have heard will work to lock and unlock boot loader but I'm not sure about resetting the tamper flag.
Using fastboot and adb is always going to be the surest and safest way to root etc. Unless you are going to be submitting your phone for RMA there should be no reason to unroot. You can always flash a stock rooted ROM and just leave it.

Steps are;
-Download boot unlocker fr on play
-Download flashify from play (just in case)
-Download vomers stock ROM (number 6 in resources section in the link in my signature)
-Download stock recovery (number 7 in resources section in the link in my signature)
Firstly, flash the recovery zip via your current recovery and reboot
Then, reset The tamper flag and lock the boot loader
Finally, open SuperSU and use the full indoor option to remove Root
Good as new.

no, factory resets only wipe your user data, they dont magically reinstall software. but you will after you.. a. flash the factory img, or b. flash the stock recovery via fastboot.

You could extract the recovery.img from the stock rom and flash it

Hello all,
I'm on android 5.1 and I'm facing the memory leak bug. Some users reported that flashing another kernel fixxes the problem for them, so I'd like to give it a try.. But, how do I flash the stock kernel if it doesn't fix it? Can I just flash boot.img to reflash the stock kernel? Does it affect other settings/data?
Greets,

Flashing boot.img worked. So, this thread can be closed!
Hi,
Am using nexus 5 rooted with custom kernel elementalX. But I forgot to backup my stock kernel. Can you upload the stock kernel for nexus 5 running 5.1? Please?

how do you expect to install it via twrp? lol! you can only flash it via fastboot. i know that twrp CAN flash .img files now, but you have to enable that function first. i dont know if itll flash a stock boot.img?
Pls pls pls, tell me how to flash it via fast boot? Sorry for being sooo noob.

Two questions, why did that get flagged as a violation of ToS? And second, if that's the SuperSU zip, why are you uploading it and sharing it through Google drive?

Updates from SD card?
Phone is an Alcatel One Touch Pop Icon (A564C) though.
Like official updates, or if anyone ever figures it out you could get root by flashing a zip using the stock recovery. But that would have to be specifically made to work with the stock recovery.

Stock recovery should have an option of flaahing update.zip.
Just rename the zip to update.zip and flash through stock one

Idk what he's linking. Pretty sure it's a supersu.zip or something...
Will what he's suggesting have a high chance of bricking my device?
It might but I don't understand why it's flagged or why he's making mirror links to what is the easiest to find rooting file on the Internet. Will it brick? Probably not, it most likely won't even flash successfully.

Renamed zip to update.zip but it wouldn't show up in stock recovery...is it supposed to be in a specific location? Tried with it in internal memory as well as onsd card...
While in recovery ended up on a screen with android laying down on back with a triangle with exclamation point...what exactly does that mean?
