I have recently rooted my nexus and i immediately downloaded lucky patcher to patch some games. After a little bit it was boring to have everything owned and i resetted my phone to factory settings but still everything was there. No back ups, new acc made to sign in, wiped cache, dalvik cache and format. Nothing worked. How can i delete EVERYTHING in my phone? I want it to be like a new one. Any suggestions? Even when it says welcome and select language the language is in Greek (my region). Its driving me crazy.
EDIT :Also Flashed stock rom but with no success

I Need help updating my nexus 5 to 4.4.4. I touched the notification notifing me of the update and it switched to the twrp recovery screen and failed. I then switched back to stock recovery. Now it keeps saying my system is up to date. Any suggestions?
it failed because you are not running 100% stock rom/kernel.

fastboot.
There has to be a better way besides me doing a fastboot or restore to factory. There is an app or script I remember having to cleardata/clear cache . I have too much important data that I can't seem to back up.

Oh right. So to be clear you don't want to be updated / rooted / recovery ?
Because our assumption was that you did want those things and that's the advice we've been giving
App reset? No idea, they changed how it works.
If you use search, there are other threads discussing that. Probably get this one locked
Edit. Oh so you mean the reset that forces OTA updates to be checked again? That was always considered a bad idea and it still won't help your issue of your ROM is modified.
If you want root, what I said is the best way bar none. If you want stock unrooted, fastboot flash system.img to clean up your ROM.

So today while I was in the car my phone restarted and came back on. When I unlocked it it kept giving me the message "Unfortunately Android System has Stopped" I did a factory restore and when phone booted up all was back to normal. Then I rooted again installed super su and it did the same thing, Went through and factory restored but now I'm not sure what to do. I could still take it back to store and get them to replace because I'm within 14 days. But that would be last resort.

I mean I didn't do anything that could've caused the issue. I was typing a text when the phone restarted on me. Now I'm stuck stock no root or anything. Can't even use the LG backup tool to restore my stuff that I had before ever rooting. It causes same message to happen. Hell I'm afraid to reboot my phone or even let it run dead because it might give me the same message.

I'm not sure. How would I flash stock software? I know I need the LG flash tool. Which I've been on Google for the past 45 minutes searching for because there isn't any clear indication of what the right tool is. And then how would I get the software after I'm able to find the tool?

Thanks again to both of you for all the help. Wouldn't have figured it out otherwise.
Same thing happened to me after I did a factory reset of the att g3 rooted. I didn't unroot first. After another factory reset, it booted without the fc. When I removed the SIM and booted again, I got the fc. Even after it goes away, it seems that rebooting makes it come back. This happened randomly and I tried for days to figure it out. I eventually just returned the device and got the TMO g3.

Hello XDA,
2 days ago I installed CyanogenMod via their new installer everything went great. After a 2 days of testing I decided that the Nexus 5 is a great phone and doesn't need any custom rom (atleast not for me). So I followed this guide to unrooting the device and setting it back to the stock rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
I selected recovery and after that I'm supposed to see a dead android. But I'm not seeing anything my screen is black. I can some light so it is still turned on.
I'm kinda freaking out over here so I really could use some help on restoring this ( if its possible ).
Greetings,
Liquidfood.

How you should I go about this. I still have warranty in the store that I bought it form ( probably not because bootloader is unlocked. ). But I wanna try it anyways should I tell them the truth or not? And can I send it directly to google/lg?
Ok so a miracle happend. I got it to work again, I let the battery drain and hooked it up to my computer and got in the bootloader. So I flashed the rom again and now it worked!
So I rooted my Nexus 5 and installed a new rom, only to find out that I can't make or receive phone calls. When I dial out it says dialing then says call ended incoming calls go straight to voicemail. I downloaded a factory img and flashed back to stock, no fix. Sim card works in another phone too. HELP PLEASE!!!! Also SMS WiFi and everything else works fine.

You can never make a paperweight of this phone) Might take time but it's fixable. Going to read the link. Don't worry
BTW do a hard factory reset. I lost my SD card, camera etc. Tried all the ADB commands and a full reset solved it. Means loosing everything but I think it will do it

Read it. When my camera went and the ADB commands went I dug a deeper and deeper hole. I changed permissions moved files. I did everything you should not. I was convinced I'd a paperweight. When you flash a rom there is an underlying system that runs the rom. A lot of crucial stuff is stored there. Thats why I say do a full reset. I'd made a real mess. I did the reset not expecting anything. I'd messed it up so much but it made it like new. I was so darn happy! Do it and get back. Gonna help in anyway I can because I know exactly how you are feeling
