Root gone wrong

[anon(5884338)]

What was the error message you were receiving?

Personally, I don't use a tool to root/unroot - I do it manually, because it helps me understand exactly what is being done (step by step). When you use a toolkit, you are left wondering exactly what was done - did it relock the bootloader after rooting? did it flash the su binary? etc... (nothing against wugfresh - from what I've read, it is a clean root, and works wonderfully).
Doing it manually is just a few steps, one after the other, and the xda threads have a LOT of detail about how to do that.

Anyway, back to your issue here (since it is unlikely that it was caused by wug's tool) - since the flash seems to have been successful, I think the next step would be to look at exactly what the error message was. But since you've flashed back to 4.4, you can't really troubleshoot anymore.

If you don't have custom recovery (and are fully stock), you should get OTA. It should install successfully. After rebooting, you can just re-root, install custom recovery, and flash supersu binaries.

I'd didn't give an error message it all seemed fine but when I booted up none of the gapps worked they all just forced closed. Yeah I think I'll manually root this time not that there's anything wrong with wugfresh I just feel like it's something I should no how to do and what each thing is doing. I got the 4.4.2 ota today and it went on fine even running twrp, lost root but that was to be expected.

I've rooted my phones in the past, but the only reason was to eliminate the bloatware, and install an OS which was close to the pure android experience. And my experience was that the rooted OS are buggy.

That being said, for me there is no reason to root the N5 for the purposes of adding the bloatware of a different OS. For me, the N5 is as good as it gets. What it lacks, I can fill in with some simple apps.

Personal opinion, your mileage will likely vary.

I'd only root just to use Adblock on cellular in addition to wifi. I don't care about ROMs since stock android is good as it is. Maybe a few mods here or there.
