On stock recovery you have to use adb to sideload

Use flashify and you don't need adb and fastboot. There was a Google + that explained the whole process.

All of the OTA zips I found are for 4.4 to 4.4.2 or 4.4.1 to 4.4.2.. Which one do I download? Out do I need to return to 4.4 and then upgrade again?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
You can get the Google stock images and extract all the files out. They are tar'd, zipped and gzipped. You need system.IMG for the /system partition, you will also need boot.IMG, and if you want to upgrade your bootloader you will want the bootloader.IMG, if you want to upgrade your radio you will need the radio img

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:

You may need a computer to return to stock but otherwise you shouldn't need a pc

The nexus devices are the easiest devices to get back to stock because Google supplies the stock images

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.

If I root (towel root) install custom recovery then unroot and factory reset will I have stock recovery back?

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.
all info and guides are linked in my signature. Lots of reading but lots to learn.

You could extract the recovery.img from the stock rom and flash it
Just discovered flashify oh man its amazing
