[Pigman]

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Yes i tried Google, but I cannot seem to find a link to a stock rooted deodexed 5.01 rom for the nexus 5.

Any help will be appreciated.

I don't see a rooted, stock 5.0.1 build available for flashing. Only custom 5.0.1 builds are available.

If you have used fastboot before then you can flash the system.img from the 5.0.1 factory image, flash your custom recovery.img through fastboot (twrp or clockwork mod) then flash SuperSU via recovery.

Or, wait it out a bit longer and see if someone posts a stock build that is rooted.

That's what I did. Worked well. I did it while retaining user info because I didn't want a full reset, but it worked well enough. Just flashing stock and then rooting should work just fine.
