Yes, root in 5.0 is now tied to the kernel. So if you install a custom kernel with the right permissions set, it's the same as using Chainfire's method (you'll also have to flash SuperSU separately or install from Play Store).

OP has been updated, enjoy! The radio files will be up in a moment.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] shri_chanakya:
AFH is saying mirror not found... did you remove it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bigxie:
I didn't...

Maybe they're having server issues. Anyways, I'll have a MEGA mirror up in a few.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
Yup, no mirrors found for ROM, but radio had plenty
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rush25:
op updated ? found fix ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sswb27:
What's weird is the download count keeps going up.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
Yeah, 64 people downloaded with no mirrors, lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bigxie:
Yeah, just make sure to use the latest TWRP and you should be fine. If not, there's a fix using terminal commands (and root) in the OP as well.

Yeah, really peculiar. Uploading to MEGA is a bit slow (their end), but the mirror should be up in a few minutes. Then maybe I can reupload to AFH.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] squirreltech:
Mega link working! Thanks man!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jaxwithanx:
Has anyone actually gone straight from 4.4.4 to this without clearing data and how did that work out? Inquiring/lazy minds would like to know.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] MrMarques01:
Quick question: Is the zip compatible with MultiROM?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tuncan:
Now I have TWRP and rooted stock KitKat 4.4.4.

Is this correct:

- DL ZIP from OP and SuperSU2.16 ZIP

- reboot into TWRP

- factory reset

- install ROM ZIP and SuperSU ZIP

- reboot

Is this all?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jaxwithanx:
Straight from the OP instructions. "-Don't install SuperSU (won't work, must use CF-Auto-Root)"
[Nexus 5 Android Development] parkson:
Also recommended to update bootloader and radio to 5.0
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tuncan:
Tnx, I saw it.

But as a noob, I didn't understand. So CF-Auto-Root isn't the same as SuperSU (but is from the same developer and with the same propose)?

CF-Auto-Root isn't available as ZIP?

I love stock everything.

Is there away to install summersive mode on a stock rom?

The only features I truly enjoy for custom roms that I use are

voice+ CM11

Summersive mode (ful lscreen)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] iamelton:
is the "modem.img" file in the custom recovery flashable package the same as a fastboot flashable radio file..

i.e. can i use "fastboot flash radio modem.img" to flash the radio?

thx..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bigxie:
For 4.4, they were identical, so I assume that's the case for 4.4.1 as well. D821 users have already reported flashing it with no issues.

Yep, that works fine.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] adrman:
I've seen a few requests for the bootloader. Does anyone know if it actually changed from 4.4 to 4.4.1?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Lettuce!:
Hi guys I know there is a lot of hard feelings about people asking questions that have been already answered but I don't know which method is the best for me.

Current setup: rooted (of course) / TWRP recovery / stock ROM / franco.kernel r16 / no modifications / nothing removed

One method suggests flashing the KRT16M image to get the stock kernel back and then flashing the OTA.zip in TWRP.

The other method I've seen is using bigxie's 4.4.1 stock ROM here and simply wiping dalvik/cache and flashing his ROM in TWRP.

Which one is the recommended method?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] flex420:
just worked perfectly for me, thanks for providing the zips... was pure stock before, did not get the OTA in germany yet, so installed wugs toolkit and temporary launched TWRP and flashed the stuff.

GG
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MariozPOC:
Really thanks, you are one of the reason to love the XDA community :)

I had my N5 rooted stock and working on ART. As I see there is not a way to reset the ART cache from recovery. I preferred to come back to Davilk and I upgraded without any problem.

Thnks again
[Nexus 5 Android Development] uhno:
Dirty flashed and working great so far for me.

Thanks for this.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Nathtech:
Do I have to flash the ROM and radio?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
Yea
[Nexus 5 Android Development] reefrunway:
Same end result. Flashing the rooted ROM here will save you a couple steps. Won't have to go back to stock to flash, nor will you have to do anything to regain root.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Notechis:
Is anybody able to switch to ART ?

I am able to pick that choice, but nothing happens after reboot
[Nexus 5 Android Development] iamelton:
flashed over stock 4.4 and worked without problem.. thx!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TheSpaceManatee:
Can I just do the normal wipe in TWRP and flash this? I'm on droidkang which is cm based
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
If theres a new bootloader then we don't know the changes. But its advised to update it. Since its a Nexus phone, there aren't any reasons not to since fastboot oem unlock/lock is a guarantee.

+1 I want bootloader link. Nice to see you bigxie from the N4 days and GN(I think!). AOKP PUB :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jwhyte:
I just did the standard wipe in twrp coming from stock with bricked kernel and no issues.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :

[Nexus 5 Android Development] DJ-Tumor:
Info!

Radio Zip doesn´t install! Will need to flash radio via fastboot by hand for now....:(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] luisangel89:
CF Auto root is a program that you have to use with your computer. You'll have to wait for chainfire to make a flashable working g SuperSU.zip.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] shri_chanakya:
OR flash a custom kernel and then flash supersu.zip which i normally do as stock kernel drains battery too much to my liking.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mixtapes08:
just tested it and it works
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tuncan:
Ok - is this correct:

- reboot to TWRP

- factory reset

- install ROM from OP

- install Franco Kernel from ZIP

- install SuperSU 2.16 from ZIP

- reboot

This is what I did:

- install ROM from OP

- install RADIO from OP

- install Elemental-X Kernel from ZIP

- install SuperSU 2.16 from ZIP

- reboot

Seems to have worked, and SuperSU is installed. But I can't tell you 100% for sure that it is rooted yet, only because I'm still restoring from Google.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] ruhelking1:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] bionemesis:
Took me a good 15-20 minutes to install, but it finished. Then first boot was also 10-15 minutes. But it's solid. Also, per my last post, root is confirmed.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] guju83:

Ive already have franco kernel in my 444

If I flash the 5.0 rom, Ill loose my franco kernnel?

So wich are my steps?

-factory reset

-flash 5.0 LP rom

-factory reset again

-reboot

-install super SU from play store.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MarlX:
okay, most here post using TWRP, there'll be no problem using CWM recovery, right?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] atom_jack:
Are you sure? I did the exact steps you listed and while the installation went fine, I don't have root. At least, Titanium Backup reports that it couldn't require root. I also tried CF-Auto-Root, but it still cannot gain root. (I'll note I skipped the oem unlock as I am already unlocked - I'm pretty sure that shouldn't make a difference, right?)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bionemesis:
By default, you don't get root. I installed a different kernel though, Elemental-X, and then installed SuperSU. Per my post, quoted below.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] batmobile_bang:
Upgrading from 4.4.4 preserving data and apk installs

Great to hear that! I was just waiting until someone reports a success of flashing it over stock 4.4.4 to try this.

So let me summarize the steps once again:

1. Flash stock 4.4.4 ROM zip over your existing ROM (which might have a different kernel or xposed or any other MOD)

2 Wipe Cache, Dalvik, (System?). Don't wipe Data

3. Flash LRX21O ROM zip in OP

4. Flash Radio LRX21O

5. Flash ElementalX 2.0X kernel (any Lollipop kernel will do I suppose)

6. Flash latest SuperSU zip

[Nexus 5 Android Development] batmobile_bang:
If you follow the above steps there is no need to restores apps and data from TiBu. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you have done a factory reset or data wipe in recovery.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] atom_jack:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] AFCAjax:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] batmobile_bang:
Why do a factory reset from within android and lose all personal data when you can very well just do a wipe data/system/cache in recovery and install this ROM. Later you could just restore the apps from TiBu
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bigxie:
Radio works for both versions.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] baySF:
Thanks for replying. Gonna give it a shot.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] AFCAjax:

What's the difference between a factory reset and a wipe?

Sorry for my studidness. Found it out, it's the same but called 'Factory reset'. Gonna flash now! :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pat.seven:
do I have to flash the radio if I'm coming from LPX13D?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] batmobile_bang:
Factory Reset from within Android, i.e. if you do it going to backup & reset option will erase all data on your phone and leave you with only the ROM (in your case SlimROM).

A wipe is something you do from within a recovery. Now the confusion about the term factory reset is that some ppl tend to call a data/cache/system wipe in recovery also as a factory reset. Now, is that clear?

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

A data wipe means application data storage wipe, not your personal data files stored in folders.

I wiped, installed rom, installed radio, installed franco kernel, then installed supersu and rebooted.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] d1n0x:
Yes.

Root is now dependent on the Kernel, so unless someone cooks up a permissive stock kernel, you will need a custom one like Franco or ElementalX.

Of course it's recommended to use the latest version that was pushed with the latest rom. But it is not required, meaning you'll still have working radio if it's kitkat on lollipop.

Rom works like a charm! Root with stock kernel

Here's what I did:

I used the latest TWRP, (2.8.1.0 I believe)

Factory reset,

Flashed ROM,

Flashed Radio,

When finished TWRP askes to root, don't root right now,

Reboot into bootloader,

Run Chainfire CF auto root, details about how to can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/nexus-5-cf-auto-root-t2507211

When succesfully completed,

Reboot the phone,

Beautiful! Thanks for getting this up so fast OP.

People seem to be overcomplicating things in flashing this and attaining Root though. The way i did it:

Clean install using TWRP.

Flash ROM

Flash Radio

Flash permissive Kernel (I used Chainfire's)

Flash SuperSU 2.19

Done.

Generally, Lollipop is amazing. Leaps and bounds better than any Android ROM that's come before. I love how app developers have gotten on board with Material Design so that we have a consistent UI experience. All the Google Apps, including the new Messenger, look great.

My only tip for making everything feel snappy is to unlock Developer Options in Settings and change all three Animation settings to 0.5.
