        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 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:
                                  https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/complete-guide-flashing-factory-images-android-using-fastboot-0175277/
                                  When you have installed the phone DO NOT REBOOT ANDROID use the Ubports installer instead while in bootloader.

                                    @Rondarius Respected sir the above said factory image installation needs bootloader unlocked & my phones bootloader is locked and my phone is corrupted also. So I can't enable USB debugging and without USB debugging it is not possible to unlock bootloader.

                                        @Rondarius Dear Sir I tried it already. I downloaded the factory image from google developer website, unlock the bootloader, and run the command flash-all.sh but installation stopped because of bootloader unlock problem. Because in reality bootloader didn't unlocked it only show unlocked. If I restart the bootloader it again shows in locked state.

                                          @shivmahar83 said in OEM unlock problem:

                                          bootloader.

                                          Reboot your phone to the bootloader.
                                          Run the following command whilst in the bootloader

                                          fastboot oem unlock
                                          

                                          Then, on the phone, select the "unlock" option.
                                          Now, boot back into the bootloader, and run ubports installer.

                                            Hi @shivmahar83 Do like this and see whats happens.

                                            In the N5 factory folder there is this image-hammerhead-m4b30z.zip, extract it, in there you have another set of images.

                                            right click an empty space in the folder, click 'Open terminal here', run these commands in terminal:

                                            sudo fastboot oem unlock

                                            sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img

                                            sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader

                                            sudo fastboot flash system system.img

                                            sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader

                                            sudo fastboot flash cache cache.img

                                            sudo fastboot flasch recovery recovery.img

                                            sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader

                                            In bootloader run the Ubports installer
