Hi,
I am currently running a stock but rooted nexus 5 on kitkat 4.4.4. I want to do a clean install to stock but rooted lollipop 5.0.1. What is the best way to do this? Any tutorials? I am running a mac - As I mentioned I want to do a clean install so I am ok with losing everything.
Thank you

No. Flashing the factory image will overwrite any kernel you have.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 - I was on Gummy-M1.2-03-10-14-NIGHTLY-d2lte with pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140207-signed.
I was on I upgraded the other day by flashing:
Furnace kernel 1.0.8-aosp_m8
Gummy-M2.3-07-15-14-NIGHTLY-d2lte
pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140608-signed
Only then did I find out that my 64GB external SD card is read-only and basically worthless in Android V4.4.4, (thanks a BUNCH, Google!!) (NOT!).
What is preventing people from being successful in downgrading back to 4.4.2? If re-flashing the old stuff isn't a good answer, do you know if a simple restore of my Nandroid backup would take it back?
What a pain!
Thanks!
i would like to know this aswel ,is it possible to go back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4 ?

could you tell us how?
Finally i was also able to downgrade to 4.4.2. Always when i tried to flash 4.4.2 as usual via fastboot i got stuck at the Bootloader unlocked Screen. Magically after flashing CM i was finanly able to downgrade to a working 4.4.2. Do not really know what happend and if it is somehow related. I'll try to reproduce it later..
I was able to downgrade from stock 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 but not any lower.

I'm not sure if it works if you're stock, but I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 I flashed the Retail UK 4.4.2 with about 2300 downloads.

This guide worked for me too, although the first two commands returned as 'FAILED'. Proceeded with the other commands and worked fine :good:
I just want to get this straight before I do anything rash. In order to install a custom rom ie MOAR on my sm-900p if the rom says 5.0.2 does my android version have to be the same or can it be 5.0 and still work without bricking? Along these same lines, is it possible to downgrade to 4.4.4 via the stock room and will there be any issues? I have also read about leaked stuff like I am running 5.0 and if I wanted to somehow get a leaked 5.0.2 rom how does this work?
Thanks in advance.

If you want to install MOAR, check the MOAR FAQ and it should answer all you questions. Post#2 is a step by step on installing. Recommend you stay away from leaked versions until you're more comfortable about how to get out of a problem. MOAR 6.0 is based on the official Lollipop release. If you have any MOAR questions after you've read the instructions, feel free to post on that thread.

Ty for the response, but, I already realize that there is a rom for 5.0 it was just an example. I really wanted to know about the android versions and if they have to be the same ie can I flash a rom that is for 5.0.2 even though my android version is 5.0?

Yes you can. You can also go back to 4.4.x but it requires flashing firmware back for Kitkat.

Hi. Is it possible to update my Nexus 5 currently on KitKat (4.4.4) directly to Lollipop (5.1) ?
If you are rooted, then, yes. You can just flash a 5.1 based rom.
Or if you can find a system image of 5.1, you can push that to your phone directly.
First post in this thread has instructions if you need em http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/android-5-1-upgrade-error-load-img-t3053984
Make sure you know what you are doing first before proceeding

http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217 - You need to read this thread.
Since I'm not sure what build are you currently running, you should look at "5.0 LRX21O-from-4.4.4.x" OTAs:

Hello I bought the phone over a year ago used. It has slimkat install on it, I want to remove it and install the original android software. Apparently the version of slimkat in my phone is causing some problems. How can I do that? thank!
You'll need to do a clean install of Marshmallow
+1 on what Ben said. Flash a factory image for the latest version of Marshmallow. You will be at out of the box status and can start fresh.

How exactly do you have CM installed without root? That is a custom rom that requires root and an unlocked bootloader to be installed
Nexus 6 running SSHD or Cataclysm

If you have CM13 just go to developer options and enable root.
