In order to install Bricked kernel on your Nexus 5 you first must download the flashable
zip file on the official kernel page on XDA developers
and copy it to your device,
So scroll all the way down until you see the download link, click on it and download the
latest release of the kernel.
What you also should download if you ever want to flash another kernel is the bricked
kernel un-installer. It's basically stock kernel and will reset all the modifications
done by the kernel.
All right, once you have copied the files to your device, you now have to boot to the
custom recovery you have installed. It does not matter whether your are losing CWM or
TWRP as all we have to do now is simply flash the
kernel zip file.
No wiping of any sort is required.
After having successfully flashed the kernel, reboot the system and enjoy your new kernel!
