Unlocked boot. Need to root using phone

It cannot be done. You must use fastboot commands to flash a custom recovery first, then you can root from there
I'll have to break in. Think I'll just go and Do it. Offered him 20 USD to do it!

I'm not that familiar with dd commands but couldn't he use in a terminal
dd if=recovery.img of= recovery partition
You'd have to make sure you know the recovery partition precisely, there's a thread here some where, Google nexus 5 partitions xda
Ps, make sure you know the exact command because dd commands can be dangerous
Pss, looks like it should be
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0pxx
Where xx= recovery partition
dd if=recovery.img of= recovery partition

Cant see how that would work from within android without root.
I know it was possible to fully root $amsung s2 on the phone. I did it

I think you still needed Odin to put a recovery on, unless Mobil Odin worked on your s2. I had a skyrocket where Mobil Odin didn't work. There is nothing like Mobil Odin for the nexus 5.
The galaxy s2 had a different version of android than the nexus 5 with different (known) security vulnerabilities that could be exploited to achieve root.
The Nexus 5 / KitKat has no known vulnerabilities that can be exploited. You must believe us when we tell you, there is no way to root the phone without a computer using fastboot!

If you're unlocked and rooted, you can use flashify to flash recovery from the phone. Like mobile Odin though, it still needs root
