@Churchthecat hi, install the latest official Android stock ROM for Nexus 5 (https://developers.google.com/android/images#hammerhead) so you can start from a clean and known state.
So, I would follow these steps:
- Update the device to the latest official stock ROM
- Optional: Back up your data in that device
- Check that the device is not encrypted (do a factory reset if needed)
- Turn on developer mode & usb debugging
- Install the latest UBports installer on your computer
- Check out that you have
adbandfastboottools on your computer - Be sure you have a good usb cable
- Start the installer and then plug the phone
- Follow the on-screen instructions
- Have patience. The installation takes a while
- Enjoy your new UT device
N.B. Sometimes some installer version - package type combination works better than others
-
yea I would like to do that but since I cant get adb to work how will i do that? cant transfer files or do command at all? tried the universal drivers , tried the LG drivers and installing googles from android studio
-
@Churchthecat please follow the install instructions that you can find in that link I posted above.
You don't need
adbto put your phone in bootloader, you just need to usefastboot. -
@advocatux thanks but!
fastboot just waiting for device...

@Churchthecat I don't know about Windows but the usual advice I see in the Install group is to get rid of all the conflicting USB drivers and use the '15 seconds method' (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979).

@advocatux still no luck, same error.
-
hold on, no error with the 5th cable I tried....
-
@Churchthecat I was going to suggest: "try another USB cable while waiting for someone who knows more about Windows than me"
-
Hehe thanks
flashed factory image got bootloop, got twrp loaded at least. so it will work soon. Thanks again -
@Churchthecat you're welcome!

Cables, cables, cables. We should make a troubleshooting sticky
