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.

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.

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

a) "I don't want to lose data"
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:
5.0 LRX21O-from-4.4.4 r2 KTU84Q: http://android.clients.google.com/pa...Q.67fdc56d.zip

Hi guys I currently have a Z3 D6653 with firmware of 23.1.A.0.726 Taiwan (all original, no history of flashing)
I am so disappointed with the update cause I don't have a CLOSE ALL button and MESSAGING crashes whenever I'm on ULTRA STAMINA mode.
I want to flash my phone back to kitkat and re-update it again HOPING that I'll be able to get those 2 functions working.
Please take note that I did a factory reset after and nothing happened
So upon researching I came across XperiFirm. I found out that it has all the latest firmware. I'm planning to install Customized PH D6653 23.1.A.0.726.
Now here are my questions before I do so:
1. Is it better if I downgrade/flash my phone to kitkat first then just do a system upgrade?
2. If I choose to upgrade the latest LOLLIPOP firmware from XperiFirm, what are the chances that I'll be getting the 2 functions I want? or Is it a good idea to do so?
I'm not sure if my questions have already been asked/answered before.
It would great if you could direct me to an existing thread with such issues.
I'm a noob so please be patient! Haha
Thanks in advance for the help
uppppp please

Will that be better than not downgrading kitkat first?
