Greetings, I recently lost root on my Nexus 5 because I wanted to switch from supersu to superuser. I uninstall supersu from the app itself. I installed superuser and then tried to download the binaries, but it failed. But my bootloader is still unlocked and I have twrp as my custom recovery.

Did you actually uninstall the binaries from SuperSU?
What rom are you on?
Stock ROM Android 5.0

As far as I am aware, SuperSU is the only choice.
I tried reinstalling supersu but it doesn't work another thing is that I believe supersu is being detected by some games as a hacking application, once I removed supersu my games started working again. Just wanted to fund out if it really was supersu

If you removed the binaries, the only way to get SuperSU is to flash it.
And Is it possible for me to flash superuser? Or am I stuck with supersu? I have no problem with supersu I like it. It's just not compatible with a few games I have.

AFAIK, SuperSU is the only option.

Did you try to re-download supersu?

Please I need your help. I booted into CWM and then rebooted from there. It then said fix permission so root will not be lost? I clicked yes and now when I booted I have no root. But my Google animation is unlocked. Please help, what have I done!

That prompt always screws things up, sometimes either if you press yes or no. Should stop using cwm really. Use Philz or TWRP.

Download the SuperSU .zip from here.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash .zip.
Reboot system.
Root restored.
EDIT:
Damn, @rootSU @Hammer_Of_The_Gods and I were on that.

Yes, zips go in recovery or with flashify and img files in fastboot or also flashify, no you don`t have to clear the cache.
OK one last thing! Can I install these mods with stock ROM?

I don't know from experience, but you're probably best off reading through the mod's thread and looking for compatibility issues. Most devs will write in the OP if there's a known issue, but you can't necessarily count on it. Best bet is always reading and/or searching.

Read the OP`s of the sound mod`s if they`re compatible with odexed stock, i think they are but better check it.
OK thanks. Instead of a zip would this work fine without bricking/bootloops

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.

Hello, Every time i make a backup with cwm i see wrong back update like 1970. How to fix this ?
Update your version of cwm. It's a bug in cwm.

Are you using 6.0.4.5. I don't use cwm, I use twrp and I know it was fixed in that. It had the same problem for awhile.

Its not a bug. Its a lack of development
No recoveries on any snapdragon 800 device could get the correct time until we understood how the Qualcomm time daemon worked. Once we knew, it was implemented in Philz and TWRP. CWM doesn't bother implementing anything modern. Its a dead recovery.

It didn't work. I flashed to stock, took the update, and tried it, but it was a no go.
