THIS GUIDE WAS MADE WITH CWM Installed.
This post is to try and combine all the resources i used and found in one simple guide. I really hope this can get sticked so it doesnt get lost.
So after i flashed Hells-Core kernel for the N4 on My N5 i sorta screwed up my Nexus to the point that it wouldnt boot. Not even into bootloader. So unable to find anything on google i came to XDA for help. Well while waiting for a response on here my GF (who has No android knowledge about an average user.) took to google and found what i was looking for without even really Trying. The nexus 5 has a SECOND bootloader option that Alot of users dont know about. To access that second bootloader and fix the BSOD here are the steps you follow.
I AM NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE SHOULD YOU FULLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE BY DOING THESE STEPS!
1.) Plug your device into your PC or laptop (NOT required BUT it does make it easier to do the steps.)
2.) If your device is powered on but again you cant see anything hold Down+power till you hear your device eject from your Computer.
3.) As soon as you hear it eject press and hold Down+up+power. You are now in the secondary bootloader
Now for the Fun and Dangerous stuff.
1.) Open CMD prompt and direct yourself to your ADB location
2.) Type adb devices. If your device shows up here skip the next step.
2a.) If your device DOESNT show up navigate to the recovery option and load recovery. Once your in recovery proceed to the next step.
3.) in CMD prompt type adb shell. if you see # your good. if not type SU
4.) once you have root access in adb shell enter the following command: dd if="/dev/block/mmcblk0p11" of="/dev/block/mmcblk0p6" and hit enter you should see something like this
Again We at WolfRoms© are Not responsible for ANY damage that results from these steps.
Thanks*

5.) after all that is done you are good to go. Reboot your device and pat yourself on the back seeing as your Soft-Bricked device and bootloader is now fixed and in working order again.
