Can I flash using 1 of these methods directly from the device or is a computer absolutely necessary

Clockwork and TWRP will flash CM without a pc. Not sure about the other.

BlakKat Nexus 5 was here foo!

Reason I ask is cause I've been stuck in hospital for couple days now & bored & brave enough to try it with other opinions in my favor, last question is since I have the file on my device is a reliable Wi-Fi connection necessary cause I don't know if I'd trust the hospitals Wi-Fi

if the file is on your internal sd you don't need wifi to flash with twrp. I would recommend making a backup of(nandroid) in case you have problems that require a pc! then your really stuck!

I did backup using twrp, is that considered a nandroid backup? I saved that backup file to Dropbox, had the correct cm11, gapps & SuperSU 2.2 zip files, then I done the dumbest thing & wiped all data including internal storage I guess cause my main device is a RAZR M which has separate sd card storage, so can I use adb sideload when I get back to my PC to install that backup I made?

Thanks for ur help in advance

Since you're stuck in a hospital for a few days, why don't you use the time to read up and learn? Just sayin'.

Yes, a nandroid is a backup made with TWRP or CWM. You don't sideload a nandroid, you restore it in recovery.

So you had CM11, Gapps, and SuperSU on your SD but then deleted everything? Or do you still have them available to be flashed in recovery? If you don't have anything on your SD, boot into recovery and push either the nandroid or CM11/Gapps/SuperSU to the SD. If you don't know how to do that, you use adb push. If you don't understand that, Google it.

Yeah thanks man, I actually deleted all the cache & internal storage thanks to twrp u can do it in 1 go & I wasn't thinking cause I'm used to having an external SD that I would have files like cm11 & gapps so without thinking I hit clear on everything wiping out my all files but I gather from ur statement I can install the backup I saved to my Dropbox

Thanks to anyone who gave me advice though

I suppose when I get back to my PC I can just flash Cyanogenmod & be done with it

But I'll definitely keep that backup I made of stock KitKat though

Yeah, download the backup/nandroid from Dropbox, put your phone into recovery and make sure adb recognizes it, then type 'adb push [insert file name here] /sdcard'. That command will only work if you place the backup into the same directory as adb.

Just wanted to say thanks to anyone who gave me advice & report that I was finally able to restore my nexus 7 using the nexus root toolkit
