My nexus 5 will not read any sim card at the moment. I flashed back to stock 4.4.3 and ever since that, no matter what carrier sim card I put in, I get no call reception. The phone is recognizing there is a sim in because I flashed a custom ROM and whenever I put in a sim from T-Mobile,att, etc., there APN settings come up. I have no idea what's going on. I am no noob. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Wait... Could you send me in the right direction of flashing a stock cache.img

There are a bunch of guides on the forum. Do search it up.

And this may sound crazy but is it possible for me to push a backup to my phone through adb and then do a nandroid restore through twrp that way?

Yes it's possible. Are you trying to just return to stock/another rom or do you want to flash back your nandroid?There's an easy way to flash zip files through twrp easily. *adb sideload*

If someone is willing to upload a nandroid backup of stock that would be great... Preferably 4.4.2

I've tried that... No dice. I've tried everything. At this point I'm guessing its hardware. Although it doesn't make much sense that the phone is recognizing there is a sim in just will not connect to a network. This is a major bummer.

Yep. Same thing happened to me. It would detect my sim, it would connect to WiFi, but it wouldn't connect to mobile data. I flashed almost everything I could find and nothing worked. Just RMA it.

    Restore a nandroid if you have one. It should fix it.
    Flashing factory images didn't help me to recover the network signal and to detect the sim card.
