Flash the 5.0.1 factory image with fastboot. Then flash the twrp image with fastboot. Then flash supersu in twrp. You'll have 5.0.1 with root.

Just make a backup of any files that you need then download and install Wugfresh toolkit and select to install stock rom and then just click at Root button.
Just a few clicks and u r done.

If you are going to flash custom ROM; use a toolkit to Root it; flash custom recovery of your choice. Then copy custom ROM to ur phone; go to recovery and flash it. You don't need to downgrade your boot loader.

Does this mean we can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2 custom ROM?
I'm not having a good time with 4.3 stock rooted and custom kernel and thinking about going back to CM 10.1.2. All I need to do is flashing the custom ROM in recovery?

Yes you will be fine. Before PA 4.3 rom was released, I was using Latest 4.3 bootloader with 4.2.2. I am going to revert to 4.2 as well. I noticed 4.3 battery is really good but sometime touchscreen doesnt response / volume buttons doesnt work.

for unresponsive screen go to 'developer options', 'hardware accelerated options', 'disable HW overlays' and select 'always use gpu for screen compositing'. Works for me but setting doesn't seem to stick on reboots.
^^ oh okay thanks but I am already back to the good old 4.2.2 .

Hi I´m quite new to this and did recently flash my second custom rom. I went from CM10.1 (4.2.2) back to stock image, and flashed
[AOSP]Official 4.3- S4 Google Edition- Finaly v2.0 - Feel the Experience of Nexus. The phone is running hot and I´m kind of dissapointed with the
lack of tweaks in Google Edition. So I´d like to go back to CM
So if I understand you right I can from 4.3 flash my stock image (from TWRP) which was on 4.2.2? Without worrying.
Did you make a nandroid backup when you were stock? That should be the easiest way to get back to stock. If you didn't then you will need to use odin to flash back to stock.

Root after manual update?

So I finally found some time for my unlocked and rooted nexus 4. Right now it is on 4.3 stock and I want to update to 4.4.2. Now the question which I couldn't find an answer on Google: Do I loose root after manual update? I've seen some videos on that, but some say that you need stock recovery (I have TWRP), but nothing about root.
Also, I'd install Franco kernel after that.
Help and possible tutorial would be appreciated, I'm still kinda new to android.
You can have a stock experience by installing the Experience ROM in the development thread.
Make sure you are running the latest TWRP before trying to flash a 4.4 ROM.

Yes, always when you flash another stock Rom, you will lose root.
But it's a matter of seconds to reroot after flashing latest supersu.zip through TWRP.

[Q] On 4.2.2 question on upgrading to 4.4.4

Hey Guys,
My Nexus is rooted but I'm on a stock ROM from JDQ39, 4.2.2. Can I just flash an updated ROM or do I have to do multiple upgrades to get up to 4.4.4?
Thanks

You should be able to use Wugs Tool kit to flash the latest files & recovery. Then flash whatever rom you wish from recovery.
Using fastboot is the best way. Toolkits are....um.....I'll stop there.

Flashable version of 5.0 Lollipop for already rooted nexus 7

What file can I use to flash 5.0 lollipop if I am already rooted and unlocked with Kitkat 4.4? There are a ton of threads out there that are causing confusion for me and I am already rooted on 4.4.

There are none. Once you flash, you'll have to obtain all the correct files (rootable kernel, new boot image, SuperSU, BusyBox) and reroot it. No way to preserve root over the flash as Google changed the security.
If you just go and download WUGs utility, it will automate it all for you. Get it here -> http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ and follow the directions. It will download all the necessary files. Just tell it which Nexus 7 you have and what version (which would be the 5.0 version).

I was on the same M10. I would just wait if i were you. The lag isn't worth losing all cm features at the moment.

I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2931064 at the moment, which is rooted of the box and has almost no lags on my device (and no CM features, of course).

[Q] updated twrp/safestrap for lollipop

hello,
I just upgraded from Alliance build 2 to jasmine rom 5.1.1 and using the process the recovery is back to stock.
I really liked the safestrap/twrp I had on kitkat. Wondering where I can find twrp or safestrap for Lollipop.
Looked around and couldnt find much except for the MultiSystems that they recommend with jasmine rom.
Anyone have any suggestions or a link?
Thanks
I'm looking for the same answer
Anyone?

Doesnt exist for 5.0 and above. You will have to work with MultiSystem. Personally I liked SafeStrap better, but the support moved on to other things.

There is TWRP for lollipop, but the install fails on Note 3 at least with Jasmine rom. At least we're lucky that hsbadr got us a rooted rom!
