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
I want to flash the lollipop factory image. My phone is on 4.4.4 as an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. Do i have to return to stock to flash the image?
Thanks in advance
when flashing a factory img, you wipe out your partitions. why would you have to flash stock for that? also, you would have to reroot. why not just flash a flashable zip of lollipop stock or aosp? found in the android development section for the n5.
Hello
had a question on if anything special is needed to go from lolipop and downgrading to kit kat or do i just flash like normal
I though i saw something about needing a special zip file in a thread but i just want to be sure i may be confusing it with the proximity zip or something
Thanks for answers
There's no such thing as a proximity zip. I think what you're referring to is the firmware zip. When going from KitKat to Lollipop you need to flash the Lollipop firmware and the Lollipop modem. When going back from Lollipop to KitKat you need to flash the KitKat firmware and the KitKat modem.

Thank you for this. I was wondering the same thing. I am about to flash LP for the first time in a while so I am glad I ran into this great info!

Strange, I have never had to flash the modem separately.
What exactly does it do?
I'm now running Lollipop YNG1TAS17L. I updated from KitKat to Lollipop via an OTA link using TWRP recovery. Should I still flash this Lollipop modem?

No
The OTA did it for you automatically
Please do not flash any modem on it unless you are facing issues with your radio(network connectivity)

@Heisenberg
I just tried what u suggested, but it didn't work. I am on CM12s and I want to try PA 4.6 Beta 6. So I downloaded kitkat firmware and two modems too ( the two kitakat modems with 'Full' prefix. I went to recovery, flashed the firmware, then tried to flash the PA ROM. It showed an error, like "can't go back to old version Nov from new version May". It also showed error in update binary script. Then I flashed the modem and firmware, and tried to flash PA again, but it didn't work. Please, help me. I wanna go to PA kitkat.

What error did you get when flashing the ROM?
@Heisenberg
See the pic attached. It goes like:
"Can't install this package (Mon Nov 3 .....) over newer build (Mon May 25 .....)
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/MODs/Downloads/pa_bacon-4.6-BETA6-20141103.zip'
Error flashing zip .........
Edit: I just flashed cm11 firmware before flashing pa zip. I can see that in the image. And sorry for the poor pic quality. Taken from my dad'a Desire 310

Alright, first things first. I can see you're asking the same question in the PA thread, please don't double-post, only discuss an issue in one place at a time.
Is that a themed version of TWRP you're running? And did you wipe properly before flashing? The error you're getting suggests to me that you're not wiping properly.
I did a full wipe: wiped system, dalvik, data, and cache. And sorry for double-posting. Was li'l impatient.

And yes, it is themed version of twrp, 2.8.6.1

I'm unsure why it isn't working for you then unfortunately. I can only guess that the wipe isn't working properly because the installer is still able to detect the previous ROM. It might be worth flashing the stock TWRP instead of the themed version as that might be causing the problem.
Okay. Will try the same procedure with stock trwp.
Edit: @Heisenberg[/MENTION] The same error with stock twrp. Have a look.

I can't see the text in that image. I'm not sure mate, does the same problem happen with other ROMs?
Woohoo! I finally did it. @Heisenberg PA 4.6 Beta 6 flashed successfully. What I did was just RESEARCH. As you said that the error has got something to do with TWRP, I searched for CWM. I then went into Philz Recovery thread. Just scrolled down for download links. Read this somewhere, "To flash older files, use recovery version 6.02.2- . Then I got the link to download CMW touch recovery version 6.0.5.0. And then the magic began. Wiped everything, installed cm11 firmware, and then installed PA. And now I am running PA. Anyways, thanks for giving the hint about TWRP.

Cool man, good to see you worked it out.
Thanks. I just want this information to be available to all those who want to downgrade. Could you just update the OP.

I'm reverting back to KK.
I've installed the firmware you provided, and the Full-YNG1TAS0YL-modem-flashable.zip modem. Then I've installed slimsaber (4.4.4) and Zane's boeffla kernel from here http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/zanezam/linaro/bacon/cm11.0/stable/
The proximity sensor is broken, any fix my friend?

Probably because you flashed a Lollipop modem on a kitkat rom?
I have a Nexus 5 with Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4 and TWRP installed. I want to update to Dirty Unicorns 5.0.2.
I've heard that radio flashes or something need to be done and i've never done that so i'm assuming I can't just backup/wipe/installDU5.0.2.
What would be the best way to go about this? Do I need to flash some extra stuff along the way or do I need to return to stock, OTA update to 5.0.1 and then TWRP/wipe/flashDU5.0.2?
Ok, looks like DU moved to 5.1, same scenario though.
- returning to factory images to take an OTA is pointless (you could just flash the new factory images)
- returning to factory images to take an OTA to then flash a custom ROM is pointless (you could just flash the custom ROM)
Just your desired custom ROM and flash it in recovery. Best to wipe data.
Radio versions are optional. You can use any radio version with any version of Android (at least on the Nexus 5). They are in .img form and flashed using fastboot while booted into the bootloader.
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.
