So recently I had rooted my nexus 5, overclocked it to 3.01ghz, added franco kernel, download some apks and the standard things you'd do to a nexus when rooted. However later it started lagging in games and when i open and close apps, so i want to completely reverse everything, make it brandnew, including removing the root flag. I don't know what i need to do and in what order, unroot the phone or flash the bootloader or what? Please Help, im a bit of a noob so keep it understandable! xD
Hi,
Follow this guide and you can return to stock. You can ask for help here too,

Best place to ask this is the Google Nexus 5 > Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [HELP THREAD] Nexus 5 | Ask any question.
There you will get quick and proper help and advices.
AFAIK you only need a mobile data option in your mobile contract, a modem/baseband compatible with your carrier/region and enable mobile data in your system settings.
But better ask in the Nexus 5 help thread.
BTW here you can find modems for the Nexus 5 flashable in a custom recovery: Google Nexus 5 > Nexus 5 Android Development > [MODEM] [EFS] Nexus 5 Flashable Modems and EFS Backup [KTU84P]
i want directly simulate BTS and i want actually send sms as if they came from carrier
all i need is basically send sms packet from my phone to another phone in (i use GSM)
so basically you say that this is possible by using custom ROM right ? this is already good news for me
sorry for my ignorance but i know very little about flashing.
can i compile my custom ROM binaries ? where can i find source codes if so ?
TIA

Please ask this in your device specific forum's Q&A forum that I linked already in my previous post.
Thanks for your understanding.

Help,
I have a nexus 7 2013 wifi edition 16 gb
I was playing around with cyanogenmod and I was trying to fix my camera.
I tried to flash a kernel using clockworkmod
I downloaded the kernel to my Nexus 7
went into cwm
install zip>install from SD card> navigated to downloads folder> found kernel > flashed
then an error occured and it said install aborted
then I rebooted, but it never turned on and now I can't boot at all, no matter how long I hold the power button. I have tried volume +power and still nothing.
Please help!!!
p.s. I am fairly new to the forum sorry for any errors I made, also I did as much research as possible before making this.
Hi,
Here is a great Q&A thread in your device section you can ask for help in... Or perhaps you'll find answers there already,

Hello,
I'm new here so I don't know If I posting this in right section. If not, sorry.
I have a Nexus 4 with Slimkat 4.4.4 and franko kernel. I just received the notification to download the new version of android lollipop by google.
It's not an update by slimkat but by google.
Is it normal? How is it possible? If I do transfer, what would happen?
Hope you can help me.
Thank you!
Hi,
It is very unusual you would get the Ota notice while running a custom rom and kernel, but no... Don't try to install it. If it somehow did manage to install without an error, guaranteed you would be stuck at boot or in a Bootloop after.
You need to either flash stock 4.4.4 to get the ota, or just wait for Lollipop roms and flash them like any other rom.
Good luck!
Thank you
Thanks for your response! I'm a little noob at this things. I can't dismiss the notification for the installation.
How do you think I should go from slimkat 4.4.4 to stock+root+franco kernel 5.0? I did my change on roms a long time ago and I really don?t remeber how I did it and if there are a better way now. I read that is dificult to root on 5.0.
I really appreciate if you could help me. Anyway, thanks for the previous reply.
Best regards

Here is a return to stock guide,
> Google Nexus 4 > Nexus 4 General > [HOW-TO] How to flash a factory image / return to stock / unlock / root #
You won't have custom kernel or root. You need to be completely stock. Then you should be able to do the OTA. As far as rooting on Lollipop, you can try asking here, or reading some others posts...
> Google Nexus 4 > Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Browse through all the Lollipop threads on rooting. Hopefully you'll find answers. And any future questions on your device can be asked there too.
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
Hi, I'm brand new here. Nexus 5, stock android 5.0.1
I'm sure I'm not the first to have this issue, I just don't know where to look. A bunch of photos got inadvertently deleted without being backed up. One of them is currently my wallpaper, and I really want to save it. I saw a couple of other threads generally related to this but not sure if any of the above solutions would apply to a N5 with lollipop. PS i've tried Android file transfer but I can't seem to locate the image. Thanks for any help.

Yes, you are right. I can't find a thread about this special purpose.
But you can ask in the Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [HELP THREAD] Nexus 5 | Ask any question thread.
There you should get quick and best help.
Thread closed and thank you.

Hello, this is herna from XDA Assist.
I´m currently Nexus 5 owner, and yes there is flashable stock Lollipop for your device.
In case to get any of those, you should have created this thread into Nexus 5 help one.
I will move this thread so you can get a link for the flashable zip, and please, if you have any other problem with Nexus 5, ask in the below link:
Nexus 5 Help
Anyway, you seems to be enough knowledged in terms of XDA since you got to flash the Cataclysm ROM, which is shared in our forums. So please, next time before creating a thread here, not only XDA Assist, also Nexus 5, try to search along Nexus 5 general section and you will find what you want there. Before asking,please investigate a little, it will save a lot of time to you, and also to us.
Cheers!
Maby this site can help you out!
You can find the images on the developer website from google.
I am new to the forum so cant link you to it.
Use google though with nexus 5 factory images.

Check dev sections. Flash a factory image. You pick.
Read the stickied threads on General. There's a really good one by Elluel.
