How to unroot unbrick Nexus 5 in Android 6 0 Marshmallow Rom

How to unroot unbrick Nexus 5 in Android 6 0 Marshmallow Rom


Heres a complete guide to show you how to unroot/unbrick the Nexus 5 and restore it to complete stock, like the day you first bought it on your Windows, Mac, and Linux/Ubuntu computer. This will also remove a bootloop from your Nexus 5 if you have one!


This method will remove any sign of root, restore you to stock ROM, and even lock the bootloader. Once you finish the tutorial your Nexus 5 will be safe enough to send back to Google/carrier removing any sign you modified the Nexus 5.


Follow the Step-by-Step Guide Below to Unroot the Nexus 5!

1. Power off your phone. 


2. Enter your phone into Bootloader Mode. Press the volume up, volume down, and power button all at the same time. When your phone vibrates let go of the power button, but keep holding onto the volume up and down button.

3. Plug in your phone via microUSB.

4. Download and extract UnrootNexus5.zip

5. Move the folder to your desktop.

6. On your computer open up "Device Manager" and if you see "Android Device" with a yellow triangle next to it install the drivers that are included in UnrootNexus5.zip. If you see "Bootloader Interface" move to step 7.

 7. Open up Command Prompt for Windows or Terminal for Mac/Linux/Ubuntu and type (press enter after each line): 

cd Desktop
cd UnrootNexus5
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-HHZ11d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-M8974A-1.0.25.0.17.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-hammerhead-krt16m.zip

8. After that process your phone will automatically reboot, but it might get stuck on the "X" boot animation.

Your phone will now boot up and you are unrooted.
