I tried both toolkits in the Origional Android Development sections and neither of them work. They all ask for a donation. I do not want to donate until I can verify that it works. Nothing I have tried has allowed me to root my phone.
I am on Android 4.4.4 on T-Mobile.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

first things first, if you have no idea whats going on do not use root toolkits.
secondly, we have wonderful sticky posts here to make it easy to find useful info, rooting a nexus 5 is useful.
the basics..
1. use fastboot to unlock your bootloader
2. use fastboot to flash a custom recovery
3. use that new custom recovery to flash supersu, the superuser(root) binaries
4. boot up with root.
5. now why do we need toolkits?

because too many people that use toolkits are brand new, and they dont learn the very basics of modding the phone by skipping that step. then later on, when all there is to do is some basic maintenance, they freak and think they destroyed their device. or many similar stories like that. anyways, i dont have any issue with toolkits overall, just the newest users. what id like to see is a toolkit that also explains the basics, so the user can learn the basics. anyways, with nexus devices, its just as easy doing it properly. if you have fastboot installed, the process takes 3-4 minutes.

Still, like tool kits, doesn't teach the basics that are needed to fix problems. If then person already knows these basics, fine but if not. They're a burden on this forum and us when we're trying to help so only suggest this to people who know what they're doing.

Hello everyone. There is a thread with a root toolkit, here.
But I can't seem to dowload the kits from the download tab. Nothing happens. I can't use direct download or torrent. None of them results in anything.
There no problem downloading from other sites, I have rebooted my router, restarted my PC, cleared cache and so on.

We'll, you can do what you want. But you'll be better off in the long run if you learn to do it the right way. The n5 is a real easy device to root and rom. Learning to do those things rather than using a tool kit will save you a lot of headaches in the future

If you use a toolkit, you'll be back on here begging for help because you bricked your device. If you want to mod, either learn to do it the right way or don't bother at all. Save yourself and the XDA community the headache.
Just to reiterate the above, don't use toolkits. When you need help, it's much harder for us to explain how to fix things if you don't understand our "language".
Not sure how many other people that do this but if a first post says "toolkit" in it, I stop reading.

I'm not entirely sure where I said that I don't know how to do it either way. I've been rooting and installing custom ROMs and firmware since Nexus was first released. I just find it easier (I'm lazy) to use a one click toolkit to get it done. That doesn't mean I don't know how to backup and restore stock.
If I want to use a toolkit and ask for it I really can't understand the judging in here. It's my choice, and your conclusions are that I'm a noob because of it? yeah, what a great and "friendly" community this is. I might save you the headache cus this is just ridiculous.

It takes about two minutes to root without a toolkit. But of course you knew that already!

Relax, don't take it so personally. I get it, you're not a newb. When you come here asking about toolkits with a single-digit post count, it's a fair assumption. Either way I don't see the purpose of toolkits for a Nexus device. I encourage everyone not to use toolkits but to root the proper way. How hard is it to type "fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img"? It's not like it's Samsung or something where you have to find exploits and hack to get it unlocked. Google gives us all the tools we need to unlock Nexus devices. You don't have to know how to code or anything to use the tools. There's nothing to gain by using one-click toolkits and root methods, only to lose as you never know exactly what they're doing under the hood. Toolkits cause more problems than they solve, especially when used by those with little to no experience. As someone else pointed as, when inexperienced users use toolkits and inevitably run into problems, it's difficult to explain how to fix it because they don't understand the steps we're telling them to take. It may as well be Greek to them. For these reasons I always discourage the use of toolkits.
Thanks all. I did it the "proper" way

I'm perfectly capable of searching, I didn't get to RC status by being a n00b. The point is that you're making a positive assertion, and those usually need to be accompanied by some kind of evidence, otherwise your claim carries no weight.

Actually you can flash custom roms with locked bootloader just using fastboot boot command then when you are in the recovery you can flash what you want, roms,mods,supersu,etc.

Even if he doesn't have a OnePlus One, it's still fairly straight forward, but you should still take the help as they should 'hopefully' know what should be happening.
From my experience, I would highly recommend NOT rooting on windows xp as you'll have driver issues. Windows 7/8 is fine; I have no experience with a Mac.
True, but I have W7 running and Seb installed the drivers fine.

I have to agree here. Having someone else unlock/root your device is an awful idea. The whole unlocking process is an essential learning experience, if you skip that you're heading into dangerous waters. If/when something goes wrong you'll have no idea what to do, and the first thing you'll do then is create an unnecessary thread begging for someone to fix your phone. OP, do yourself a huge favour and start reading, then do some more reading, and then more reading, see where I'm going here?

You didn't read a thing I said before did you. I'm not going to unlock your device for you. I don't want or need your money. Getting someone else to unlock your device for you is a very bad idea for the reasons I outlined in my previous post.
This phone is very easy to unlock, all you need to do is follow some simple instructions. You'll find them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
If you don't want to learn how to do this then you really shouldn't be modifying your device in the first place. Having a modified device requires a certain level of knowledge so that you don't brick your phone, if you don't want to spend the time learning then you're best off just leaving the phone stock.

I only found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...t/modem-nexus-5-flashable-modems-efs-t2514095
On your RESOURCES link.
But, I don't know how to flash it. When I extracted the linked "modem" (is this the radio?), I got 2 files.
I am expecting to have a single .img radio image.
If you are interested in the GPS issue that I mentioned here is the link:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=72311
Basically, the GPS was working fine, perfect prior to 4.4.3 / 4.4.4 update.
A lot of people (if not all) fixed the issue by flashing the radio from 4.4.1.

If not, it's quite hassle to install Android SDK when I only to use "fastboot".

You don't need the SDK to use fastboot. Fastboot is very easy to use. You can simply install fastboot using the 15 second installer. Please have a read of my "adb and fastboot. What is it?" thread.
I know you only went in my thread to find the radios, but do have a look at the other info a guide threads there. Your world will open up.
Wow ... indeed ... that's easy installation.
I have done the trouble in the past with installing the whole SDK, then maintaining it.
It was too much hassle.
Not anymore with the info from your signature.
Thanks! big thanks!

No problem. Any time.
We definitely like to help people who are willing to learn, so respect to you for that!
It's much easier to help someone in trouble who is configured ahead of time and understand than it is to help someone in trouble who doesn't understand basic commands - this is why we (almost everyone) recommend fastboot (and adb in some cases) over toolkits.
Any adb or fastboot questions, please feel free to ask them in that thread.

Yes.
Tested and definitely the GPS is now MUCH BETTER!!
I was panicked at first because after flashed, the power button didn't work.
Rebooted, still didn't work. I cannot put the phone to sleep using the power button.
But, after awhile it fixed itself.

Good good! And yea, you'll find sometimes the power button does that straight after boot up. I think it's just not finished completely booting yet

Or leave Genuine 5.0.1?
Also asked if I wanted to experiment with installing rom
How do I keep the existing rum 5.0.1 repeatable always what should I do?:good:
Start in the general forum and look for rootSU's sticky roll up. Start by reading that. It'll have everything you need to know. Once you've read that if you still have questions feel free to ask.

Use MultiROM to test out various ROMs while still keeping your current setup. It's a great tool and the best way to try out new things.

Isn't there a problem requiring manual edits of updater- script in lollipop ROMs?

I'm not sure. I only flashed one Lollipop ROM (N5X) via MultiROM, and the first build I flashed worked fine, but I was unable to flash newer builds so maybe that's why.

I don't user multirom so I have no first hand experience but from what I've seen, some (if not all) lollipop ROMs that are to be a secondary ROM on multirom, need an edit.

Allow a little more about what to do?
My English is not good
How do I save an existing system to return to the future with I want !?
How do I start to install rom?
Send me here to do an application directory where to start
Thank you
Learn to walk b4 you run. Read, read and do some more Reading on MANUAL ROOT, not all in one kits. These are great. I use then but you need to know the basics of communication with your phone in fastboot, incase of mistakes.
When you are ready make a full backup and an "efs" it's important to store the efs off the phone. Not sure what it is? Get Reading)
I could of named a kit but you would not find anything out. In an emergency (which happens) you would have to start learning things you should have-at the worst time. Good luck on your journey!

The first thing you need to do is install a custom recovery. Use twrp. Once you have that installed make a backup of your device with it. Then you can install a rom.

It's always a good idea to do a backup of your device before you start to modify your phone.

Seriously?
If you can't manage to do this on your own and don't even want to learn how, then you shouldn't be here.

If you don't understand how to do something yourself, aren't willing to learn, and just want someone to do it for you, I suggest you don't do it at all.

Got your pm. I don't respond to pm's nor do I do team viewer. It's not that hard to do. Hardest part is setting up adb/fastboot. Google 15 second adb install xda and skip the first part of the guide where you setup sdk.
