No, I need a method to install a custom recovery without any Root or Usb Debugging and only by flash tools or fastboot mode or etc.

Doesn't it wipe my data?
"then flash a custom kernel with recovery"
what recovery you mean? How should I install a custom recovery first?

unlocking your bootloader will only wipe all apps and settings...i guess you want your datas from sdcard0 (internal storage) like pictures eg? if you want a special app or app datas....better remember your pattern lock

Flashing stock ftf doesn't wipe your internal storage. If you want to save your apps too, then uncheck DATA partition while flashing. Your phone will boot, password/pattern will be removed and all settings set to default.

Are you sure about that? Have you tried it?
You mean it WIPE nothing but only pattern and pass?

Yes, I have done it countless times. It wipes the system partition thus removing the pattern lock and the system apps.
User apps are not removed if you uncheck the data partition.

No root needed, it will flash the recovery from download mode. It won't touch your data.

As Romman0 said, your data will be safe. The bootloader contains boot info for 3 different partitions; Android, Recovery, and Download/Odin Mode. Modifying one partition doesn't necessarily modify another. If you find an Odin package that is only the recovery image, Android partition (where root is located, if rooted) is unchanged

Is there any tool that will reinstall the stock rom on a Nexus 5 with LOCKED bootloader? Something like emergency reflash from LG Support Tool.
LG Support Tool? There's something LG Flashtool and that works.

If you have to reinstall the stock firmware why do you care? Just unlock the bootloader, you're going to lose everything anyway.
What situation are you in. There may be ways to save your data

The ideea is that I want to root this phone with Towelroot and I've heard that if Google detects a change in the system you can't install any more OTA updates. If this is true, I want to find a method to reflash the stock so I cand get the updates.

If you're rooted but otherwise completely stock, you should get OTA updates no problem.

Well if you modify any system files you don't get the ota. Your best bet is to root and then flash a custom recovery with flashify and then flash a stock rom zip that will be created shortly after any updates come out. You can also unlock the bootloader without wiping data with boot unlocker after your rooted.

There's a whole sticky on returning to stock so you can get OTAs. </thread>
If you're able to flash the stock ROM, you should be past the point where you need to worry about being able to get any updates.
Yeah. I'd highly recommend just flashing a prerooted busybox stock ROM. You can always do a dirty flash over stock ROM and still keep data.

You do get the OTA, but if you modify /system/ or something else, the OTA won't install.
It takes 10 minutes to return to stock for an OTA. Just do what you want with the phone now and enjoy!
The next OTA will be months from now. Return to stock then.
You dont need any tool. Download factory image and flash that by executing flash-all.bat (for windows, if you use linux execute flash-all.sh). Flash a custom recovery. Then remove hidden tampered flag by flashing tampered flag remover zip. Then flash stock recovery and lock bootloader by typing fastboot oem lock.

Locking the bootloader isn't enough on its own.
Android: adb pull data, MTP (Screen lock can prevent)
Custom recovery: adb pull data, flash zip to turn off android lock screen (Recovery lock can prevent)
Lock bootloader: Prevent replacing locked recovery with unlocked recovery,

1)first of all extract cm11 (fxp or official doesn't matter) into any folder .. here you will see the boot.img file
2)okay open flashtool, click the flash button .. and select the fastboot mode
3)then switch off your phone and go into fastboot mode while holding the volume up button .. and connecting your phone with usb cable, you will see a blue notification light which means you're in the fastboot mode.
4)flashtool will detect your phone and will display the message "device connected in fastboot mode"
5)select "select kernel to flash"
6)browse to the boot.img file (it will not be visible first so select the *.img in scroll down menu)
7)open it and the cm recovery will be flashed, after that switch on your phone, press the volume up button two times to go into recovery
8)wipe data/wipe chache
9)install cm11 then install gapps and reboot !
press thanx if i helped
