Do a completely clean flash

So should i install lollipop again and then marshmallow on it?
Will it erase my data?

During the period of the 3 developer previews I read several times that there is no upgrade path from the preview to the final version and that the only way of getting a stable Marshmallow system is to do a clean flash as ldubs suggests. Yes, it will erase your data, so back it all up on your PC. There is no need to install Lollipop first.

[Q] updating 4.3.3

I've heard about a android 4.3.3 update coming but I've rooted my Nexus 5 recently so I'm still kinda new to all this. I was wondering I would update to this when it comes out while keeping my Kernal and all that good stuff. Thanks!
read the stickies, the ota one will tell you all you need to know. As for me, I'm rooted, stock kernel, and custom recovery. I plan on flashing the next update in recovery.
also why do you want to downgrade to 4.3.3? when launched last november, this phone shipped with 4.4.

Don't be a ****. He obviously meant 4.4.3
Same. I am rooted with framework. So I uninstall framework from the app. Put flash file on nexus 5. Boot into recovery and flash as normal? Do I need to clear data and will I lose root?

There's no need to wipe data. And, yes, you'll loose root, so just need to re-root it again
So I just flash on top of it? And would it not be hard to re-root because it's a new android version?

Once you're updated, you just need to flash the supersu zip again to gain root access.. No, it shouldn't be hard to re-root!

OTA updates go out in batches so not everyone will get it at the same time. You could just download it and flash it manually as per the instructions in the OTA thread in the General section
As said above, OTAs don't arrive all at the same time but step by step. I got the notification yesterday on my rooted phone, though I flashed it manually later on to retain root, etc.

If you have a custom recovery you could flash a custom Rom. Look for the stock Rom by vomer in the development forum. Or you can flash the factory image with fastboot. See the sticky rollup thread in the general forum. In there you'll find a guide to flash the factory image

Rooting MMB29X

Hi everyone , i was wondering if any of you guys found a good way to root the latest version version , i tried to manually root via recovery but nothing , please let me know if any of you guys sucessfully did , thanks in addvance .
Yes, pretty much everybody, I'd guess. What method did you use? SuperSU? Doitright?
Best to think of all the answers you want and supply the info up front - you save everybody a lot of time, not least yourself.
I used SuperSU , 3 or 4 different versions 3 betas and 1 not beta then bootloop after every SuperSU installation .. Then I flashed the boot partition again and I removed the bootloop but the root was not there ..

2. Boot with TWRP and flash SuperSU.
3. Reboot and done.

You flashed the images by recovery or adb?
