        @shivmahar83 Try seeing if fastboot still detects the device then run fastboot unlock

        First in terminal run
        Fastboot devices you should see your device then
        oem fastboot unlock
        fastboot reboot

        Then try again

          I tried it. But OEM is not unlocking because I didn't on USB Debugging as I said in my post.

            According to this, fastboot commands should still work even if usb debugging is off:

            Which computer OS are you using?

              @joe Did you try the following command in your terminal? : "sudo fastboot oem unlock" 1rst of all be sure you've got fastboot package installed (sudo apt install fastboot) and adb (sudo apt install adb).

                  @shivmahar83 There must be something wrong with your description, if you did not unlock your bootloader then it cannot show unlocked.

                  Anyways, you can always go to fastboot mode, unlock the bootloader and re-install the Google factory image or continue from there with the UBports installer. It is virtually impossible to brick a Nexus 5...

                    Just for more info what was on the device before you started. Stock android or something else? Is there a chance the partition sizes have been altered. That will stop UT installation. As Flohack said something is off in some way. I know you have tried before but does - fasboot devices - show your device when run.

                        @shivmahar83 can you please try just fastboot devices and let us know the result. The more info we have the easier it is to help.

                                        @shivmahar83 When it is unlocked, what happens when you run the Ubports installer?

                                              @shivmahar83 Sorry for the late response. Try to reflash your phone to stock rom Android using this guide:

                                              When you have installed the phone DO NOT REBOOT ANDROID use the Ubports installer instead while in bootloader.
