[GUIDE]- Easiest,Safest and Best way to ROOT NEXUS 5

This is a step by step guide to root Nexus 5
PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP of your files on your internal storage.
Unlocking bootloader will ERASE EVERYTHING.
Download the file below
http://d-h.st/YGm
Step1: go to Settings->About Phone > hit the “Build Number” until you get “You are now a developer”.
Step2: go to Settings->“Developer options and turn ON “USB debugging” .
Step3: Connect the device to computer.
Step4: For Windows,we need to install drivers.
Right click on My computer and select Manage and select Device Manager
you should see something like nexus 5,
now double click on that and select update drivers..
choose Browse my computer for device software > let me pick from a list > select install from disk >set path to usb_driver file in
extracted folder.
Now you should see something like Android ADB Interface..(do it again if you dont see this)
Step5: Next, open command prompt(win+r > cmd) and type: cd downloads ( or wherever you have downloaded the file to )
cd Nexus5
adb devices
you should get : 'list of devices attached'
some code and " device"
if you don't get this and instead get offline,then check USB debugging is enabled or not and reconnect the device and install drivers again
in device manager(step4)
Step6: Turn off your Nexus 5.Then hold down Volume Down and Power buttons together for 3 seconds until you see the bootloader menu.
Step7: Connect the cable again and open Device Manager and install drivers again( step 4)
This is because you connected the device in another mode and hence pc recognizes it as a new device
Step8: . Go to command prompt and type: fastboot oem unlock
Step9: Go to your Nexus 5 screen and use Volume buttons to select “Yes” and hit the Power button. This WILL ERASE EVERYTHING
and unlock the bootloader.
Step10: Your phone reboots and you get the welcome screen like the day you unboxed it..
Step11: Now log in with a account and connect it to computer and copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip file to internal storage.
Step12: Power off your Nexus 5. Then hold Volume Down and Power buttons together until you see the bootloader menu then connect
USB cable from Nexus 5 to your computer.
Step13: Go to command prompt and type: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-hammerhead.img (for TWRP)
OR
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-hammerhead.img (for CWM)
Step14: Next, use Volume buttons on your Nexus 5 and choose “Recovery mode” and hit the Power button.
Step15: Once in CWM or TWRP recovery, choose “Install zip from sdcard” or “Install”. (choose “choose zip from sdcard” for CWM.)
Step16: Browse your internal storage and find the file UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip. Install this file to root your Nexus 5.
Now your Nexus 5 is ROOTED.

You've come a long way in a short time...
But your tutorial needs a proper proof-read. Did you walk through these steps yourself to make sure that the instructions are correct?
"SuperSU Beta 2.66" - why not the newest version?
"Usb Cable ,preferably micro-usb" - what other type will fit?
Step 1.0 You haven't mentioned in big red capital underlined letters "This will wipe your phone".
Step 1.4 "then you have to restart the phone normally" - why, since the next step is "Put your phone into bootloader mode"?
Step 2.1 "Put your phone into bootloader mode , power off the device and put it into bootloader mode" doesn't really make sense.
Step 2.4 You haven't mentioned in big red capital underlined letters "This will wipe your phone".
Step 3.2 says "rename it into "cwm.img"" and the following flash command refers to "zip".
Step 3.3 "type "flash recovery cwm.zip"" - wrong. "Fastboot flash recovery cwm.img".
But kudos for writing the tutorial and posting it as a help to others. Can you correct at least the errors so that new users don't get in a mess? And this time I suggest that you then walk through it step by step to be sure that you've got it all right.

Here is the complete guide for update to the latest firmware for those who have rooted phone:

Really? I still see v2.66, "preferably micro-USB"... I stopped reading after that.
And you haven't confirmed that you've walked through the instructions to test that they now work.
Have you heard the saying "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"?
And finally a general message - maybe I should add it to my signature:
(P.S. A plea to everyone in these forums. Don't reply to a simple 1-page thread post copying the entire post to which you're replying. I've already read the original - I don't need to read it again. Copy the original post only where necessary - e.g. if it's on a previous page. And even then copy only the point to which you're replying, not the entire post. The result will be clearer and shorter threads which will be more enjoyable to read.)

While we do appreciate your effort , the guide is incomplete and incoherent.
It might brick phones of new users.
