Ok so the method was to unlock bootloader, flash twrp and flash magisk zip.
The other way was using temporary cwm for intel devices using T2 option. What this does is that it gives you a temporary CWM session which can be used to flash magisk zip.

How to Root Android 5.0 (LRX21O) for Nexus 5

Hey guys,
So i'm sure this is probably already out there, but I wanted to give everyone my method of success with rooting the latest version on Android (5.0) on our N5. Here it is:
Prereqs: You'll need to have these downloaded first
TWRP - Download to your Computer
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hammerhead/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hammerhead.img
SuperUser v2.19 - Download to your Phone
http://click.xda-developers.com/api...ainfire.eu/593/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.19.zip
Platform Tools - Download to your Computer
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390355257214632011
Steps
1) Download SuperUser v2.19 to your phone.
2) Turn off your phone, and reboot into the BootLoader by holding Power + Vol (-). Wait until you see the Green Android Robot.
3) Plug your phone via Micro USB to your Computer.
4) Download and Extract Platform Tools in a "New Folder" on your C: Drive. Give the folder an easy name such as "N5" or something similiar
5) Download and Extract the TWRP recovery image to the "New Folder". Rename the "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hammerhead.img" to "Recovery". NOTE: It may ask you to overwrite the exisiting recovery image (if applicable). Select Ok/Yes
6) Open your Command Prompt (Windows) and type the following: (You can copy and paste if you'd like)
* cd..\..
* cd c:\(Your New Folder)
* fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
6) Let TWRP flash to your phone (Should take no more than ~10 secs).
7) Toggle your phone to "Recovery" by using the Voume Up/Down keys. Press the Power button to select/confirm.
8) Once TWRP has loaded, press the "Install" icon, followed by "Zip File", and proceed to the "Downloads" folder that you have the SuperUser v2.19 zip downloaded.
9) Select the zip and confirm by swiping at the bottom.
10) Reboot back to the "System"
11) Done
_______________________________________________________________________________
I tried to be as clear as I could with this write up, so I hope this makes sense. It really is straight forward.
Although I'm definitely not the one who came up with this method or files, I wanted to share what worked best for me to Root my N5 running the 5.0 OTA.
If this helped you get root back or makes sense, give a "Thanks".
Take it easy...
Thank you for posting this. I tried three other methods to get root back before this, and none of them worked. This one did the trick without any problems at all. Thanks again!

What part are you stuck at?
For me, I needed to erase cache for the TWRP to stick. Otherwise, when I rebooted it was gone and was using the default recovery.
Use the command:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
before
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
if you have the same problem installing TWRP.
I used chainfires auto root for the N5 (stock lollipop Boot loader). Worked great. Just download to a PC put phone into boot loader and run the bat file. I can't link but a quick google will find it for you.

Good find. Didn't happen to me, but i'm sure it may to others. Were you all set afterwards with Root?
Personally, I'm using the autoroot from chainfire. Works like a charm, no custom recovery is needed (I have the stock recovery).

Are you running the official lollipop release? It should work with that. Delete the app, and try again.
Just put your phone in bootloader and run cf-autoroot from windows if you dont want twrp.
I have twrp but its not working like that

Had the same issue and needed to flash the updated kernel from chainfire : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655047375
Why are you trying to do this the hard way? Just use chainfire's autoroot.
It works perfect and it's literally one command
fastboot boot CHautoroot.img (or whatever the file name is)
cf-auto-root is the way
I agree, just use cf-auto-root. You should be good to go in no time.
Just for FYI, if you already have unlocked bootloader, it won't wipe your data, if you are concerned.
CF-auto-root roots N5 without modifying your kernel. I believe, if you flash the SuperSU in TWRP, it would modify the kernel. It's nothing bad, but if you want to remain "stock" and don't want to reflash stock ROM later to get the OTA, just use "Full unroot" from SuperSU app and you are stock and ready for next OTA.
I have encrypted the storage on my Nexus 5. Will CF-Auto-Root wipe my storage?

Erm, "Chinese dev" doesn't mean anything really. Don't you have a thread link, a github link, or anything in particular? It's almost like saying "Here an app", without really saying where it comes from. Kinda risky... Especially if it isn't the "Chinese dev" that shares it.
EDIT/// NVM, just was the source link... Sorry for that, was refreshing the wrong one...

I'm in the same boat, I like that it's done but the fact it isn't open-sourced and is provided by a sketchy Chinese version of a fake Oneplus site (take a look at the lack of SSL for example), I think I may hold off..
Thanks for sharing though OP, hope this might spark what we need to get the official version!

If I had OnePlus 5 I would have resolved the problem inside the twrp, but no device is impossible for me. A complete recovery will soon be released.
The recovery-from-boot.p is the file that restore stock recovery when you reboot your phone (It is in all android firmware)

did you restore your backup, after reboot . If yes, just uncheck boot when you restore and you dont need to format anything when flash recovery or kernel because these thing boot before system . For me twrp work good for me, the only thing is that i have flash supersu and when i want to switch to magisk, i delete all root on supersu app, and then impossible to boot on twrp, even after flash it with bootloader . The trick is to flash stock recovery from folder and then flash twrp .
Thanks

[12.1][GAPPS] AOSP ANDROID 12.1 for A21s

---
Disclaimer: This will void warranty.
You will need to unlock bootloader.
*All your data will be lost*
---
Info:
Android version 12.1 (12L)
July 2022 patch
Tested on A217F & Dual SIM working
GApps included so you don't have to flash them
Part 1 - Unlocking bootloader:
Skip this if you've already done it.
1. Enable Developer Options, go to OEM Unlocking and turn it on.
2. Plug in phone to PC, restart the phone and right when it turns off, keep holding VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP till you see the Download Mode
3. Hold VOLUME UP to enter Bootloader Unlock mode
4. Press VOLUME UP to accept, and let the phone restart and erase
* To check if it worked, head back to Download mode and check if "OEM LOCK" is "OFF"
Part 2 - Flash recovery:
1. Download Odin and recovery U7/recovery U6/recovery U5
2. Put device to Download Mode (Hold VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN while plugging in phone to PC)
3. Open Odin and hit AP and select recovery file
4. (optional) go to Options tab and untick Auto Reboot
5. Hit start
* If it fails with error "Only official binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery)", then boot device up, connect to internet, and then change Date to some time ago like January 5th 2022
Part 3 - Flash the ROM:
1. Download and Extract the ROM
2. Download the kernel
3. Download and Extract platform-tools (ADB and Fastboot)
4. Open up Command Prompt and cd into platform-tools folder
5. Plug in phone to PC, restart or turn off phone and hold VOLUME UP + POWER for about 5 seconds. You should enter Lineage Recovery.
6. Tap Advanced, then Enter Fastboot
7. Type in command prompt "fastboot flash system " and drag the ROM .img file and hit enter. This should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
8. Exit Fastboot mode on the phone and go to Apply Update, Apply from ADB
9. Type in command prompt "adb sideload " and drag the kernel .zip file and hit enter. Press Yes when the phone asks to.
10. Reboot the phone.
Notes:
* DO NOT APPLY A SCREEN LOCK, or else the settings app will crash along with the setup wizard, and if you do it from settings you won't be able to change it, disable it or enable fingerprint unlock
* SuperSU root is pre-installed so you can 'adb sideload ' the UPDATE-unSU.zip from recovery, then 'adb sideload ' the Magisk apk attached below ("app-debug.apk") after renaming it to .zip

Hi,
I have tried the GSI you linked in your guide but it just gave me a bootloop similar to many other guides, including the Samsung PixelExperience Android 12.0 GSI further down in the comments. So after I did my own research and tries I put together this guide with the resources I used to make the device work.

Hi, i do all the steps in the tutorial and use the u8 bootloader and recovery that Kevonism has uploaded. But after the install via adb sideload it goes in a bootloop (with kernel flash). Could someone help me out?
