If you used wugs fresh tool kit. Then the application with automatically root the phone when you chose to install a custom recovery (twrp). Stock kernel does not support root, hence the reason for the bootloop
If this is the case, you will need to flash a kernel, through TWRP, that has root options like elementalx or hells core.

Any Recommended toolkit ?
This would not have happened if you didn't use a toolkit.

I think you may need to read some tutorials and general information first before moving forward. There are some guides in the general forum of this section. Also in the Q&A area.
Read up first before you brick your phone.

I even used One Plus One and it is so easy to install TWRP and nothing happend
but when i installed TWRP on my Nexus It goes into bootloop and the frustrating part is it takes 20 30 to boot up even after factory reset. may be i used the wrong toolkit but i only find one for the nexus 5 Toolkit 2.0.5
Like it has been suggested please read up on some of the guides to understand how to use adb and skip the toolkit.
See these basics ones - http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
I like to keep the commands from this thread handy since it doesn't have much clutter - http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-update-rooted-device-to-5-1-lmy47d-t3050789 - but there are many guides reiterating this exact same commands.
Hope this helps you get out of your boot loop.

hey guys i tried rooting my nexus s and now when trying to boot up the phone im stuck at the google boot screen with the unlocked padlock at the bottom. i can get into clockwork recovery and i flashed super user but i cant get onto android OS is there anyone who can help me please?
Have u installed a rom from zip?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Also, you should specify which nexus S version you tried to root and which guide you followed.
jj, u need to flash new ROM of your choice from zip file under CWR.
The reason why u stuck on the Google screen is cos when u rooted and unlocked the boot loader u also erase all data including the stock ROM. But u should know that cos its mentioned in every root & bootloader unlock procedure
So just go into Nexus S Android Development where u can find and download the ROM of your choice.
After just boot into CWR and install the ROM from .zip file.
U will find whole procedure how to flash it under every ROM thread.

Unlocking the bootloader doesn't erase the existing os..it just wipes all the data and apps. It would still boot into the stock Android image until he flashes a custom ROM.

No. It wipes the sd and all user data. It has the same effect as using stock recovery to do a factory reset.
So guys, what way should I use to root in your opinions, there are a couple that I know of, cm auto root, using adb, and recently TowelRoot (not sure if it works with 4.4.3)....but please share your opinions, and I probably need recovery too so share about that as well...

You cannot root with adb. fastboot is the best way to root It gives you the necessary tools and understanding required to not only root, but also fix your phone if you fubar.
Look for stickies in General
if you have drivers installed properly then extract this
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6cfqp9uvgzclbk4/Platform_Tools_Nexus.7z
download a recovery ( .img) and put inside that folder
open terminal there (shift+right mouse button>>>select open command prompt here)
reboot the nexus into fastboot mode, connect and type this
fastboot devices
(to see if nexus is connected)
and flash the recovery through fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
reboot into recovery
and flash supersu from chainfire
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

Also, if your recovery image was Philz, you can just root directly from the Philz recovery menu
same as what gentlemen above said..
I keep SU.zip in a folder on my phone. I flash it everytime I flash a new ROM
BTW Koush's SU is opensource, you can get it here:

Yes if you're imeediately going to flash a ROM, no need to root your current rom. Just unlock the bootloader, flash recovery then from recovery flash a rom
Official CWM itself is pretty antiquated. The choice is between Philz advanced CWM (See signature) or TWRP and it is users preference really.

No, I will start with just rooting since xposed modules are great, then move to Roms

Btw I agree to some of what you said in other posts about rooting with adn without PC. Its great to be able to root easily but this in my opinion would make everyone root and stuff while I think rooting and Roms should be for android enthusiasts and what else.
Alright decided to go with cf auto root, pretty simple to go with and no need to flash recovery..
It is very easy but sometime try doing it manually it will be handy to learn the basic fastboot commands in case you softbrick your device which if your a flashaholic like me it will happen I've owned this phone three months I've softbrocked it 5 times

Dear friends,
Today I bought a used nexus 5 for a little money. The only problem with it is that it wont boot anything because the seller wiped all data (inc. OS) which he thought was a factory reset. He was really stressed this happened and sold me the phone for even less. The only thing he did in the past was install a recovery mode.
My question:
How can I restore the phone to stock ROM? Currently there is no ROM installed. Everything is wiped.
What I already did:
- Download the 4.4.3 (KTU84M) version.
Use fastboot and flash factory image.
Refer sticky for guide.

Hey,
Thanks for the answer. I did these steps. Fastbooted hammerhead-ktu84m and everything works. According to devs.google I should relock bootloader. Is it neccesary?

Hi guys,
I have recently rooted my device and flashed a custom ROM (CyanogenMod), after 2 days there was an update for CM. Update was installed perfectly but then after the reboot "settings" on the phone stopped working. closed unfortunately. I went into recovery mode to flash the previous ROM. I am using "TWRP" recovery tool. This where I have done the blunder, I have wiped the system data and all of it. At the moment phone doesnt have any ROM to boot on. Please suggest me to how to flash the factory ROM or any other ROM. Can't really do anything as the phone wont boot up in regular mode (GOOGLE) thats all.

Can you sideload in TWRP?' It's even faster than pushing for the unpatient folk like me. lol
And yeah jd I still have the Rocket.
that was his first and only post, i bet he wont be back. sounds like a root toolkit child.
How?
Having said that I cannot detect the phone in the PC, how can i put the ROM in a folder?
Guess what? He's back!

My friend, you don't use fastboot to flash "ROMs".
Sorry woke up 5min before writing that. Running on 4hrs sleep now. Meant use fastboot to install stock image, flash a recovery. Then use custom recovery to flash future roms. Just pointing him in the right direction. With a little reading, he'll figure it out.
I wanted to switch back to stock Rom, I flashed it with fastboot (I downloaded 4.4.4)
I installed Root and XPosed, but I uninstalled XPosed again, Android wanted to update to 4.4.2 (settings said i have 4.4), but I got an error, Installed twrp and tried it manully, i got an error (i think it was error excecuting binary...)

Yes it is. You returned to stock then modified it so it is no longer stock. You cannot update unless you're still stock, but you're not. So flash latest stock.

If you use the flash all method in the link above it will wipe your data. If you fastboot flash system.img only then nothing gets wiped
