I am at 4.2.2 Cataclysm and I want to return to stock, I used the android factory image for Nexus 5 and it always just stays on writing radio forever. I see it says "writing..." in fastboot on my phone for a brief couple seconds and then disappears and the command prompt on the computer still says its flashing the radio forever.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Re-download the factory image and use 7-zip to extract it. Possibly a bad download

compair the md5 checksum. you can find it on the google download page and apps like root explorer f.e. will calculate the checksum of the downloaded file for you.

This worked. I have never had a corrupted download that still unzipped before. Thanks!

Are you going back to stock because of a bad experience with Cataclysm? I was thinking of giving it a try. Thanks

Its a sweet ROM, I'm going back because my NFC is defective and I was going to exchange my phone. I'll probably flash it again on my replacement phone unless paranoid android comes out. Go for it!
