@fihex123 Maybe your device is not supported, Have a look here for all supported devices:

@fihex123 From the devices page:

How to install Ubuntu Touch OS

You can install Ubuntu Touch on this device using the UBports Installer on your computer.

Make sure the bootloader of your device is unlocked and that your device has the required version of Android installed. Before installing, follow the device-specific instructions below:

Please confirm that your device is a Huawei Nexus 6P (angler). The LG Nexus 6 (shamu) is not compatible!
Please reset your device to stock Android 7.1.2 - Critical vendor files are otherwise missing!
Please install TWRP recovery and format all partitions due to the encryption applied by the stock ROM!

Though I have to ask what value you intend to derive from this exercise. The 6P runs Xenial, there has not been any interest to update it to focal, let alone noble. By now the OS is nearly unusable.

@fihex123 this is the thing to remember here.

@fihex123 Please follow the steps for the installation as descripted by arubislander.

If you have no success, try a different USB cable and a different USB port. If you are using the Windows Installer, you could also check if it works better under Linux.
Sometimes the installation does not work the first time.
