      @flohack
      Thanks for your suggestion. I already tried it but it requires that I first enable developers mode which I can't do because of the bootloop.

      @mrt10001
      Thanks for your instructions. Unfortunately the problem persists.

      I'm unable to install TRWT because it requires in addition to unlock, which I did, that I enable developers mode, that I can't because of the bootloop.

      I tried also the XDA link but it didn't work. See the transcript below:

      Do you have any clue on how to enable developers mode from my computer?

      I tried also: sudo magic-device-tool.
      It recognizes the device and then got the following execution:

      @rondarius

      I ran the UBports installer:
      Got this first mesage:Error: fastboot:flash: Error: Flashing failed: {"error":{"code":1},"stderr":"FAILED (remote: 'flash write failure')fastboot: error: Command failed"}
      I clicked on "ignore" and got this message: Error: fastboot:format: Error: formatting failed: Error: {"error":{"code":1,"cmd":"fastboot format cache"},"stdout":"Creating filesystem with 179200 4k blocks and 44832 inodes\nFilesystem UUID: 1b2fac8d-da28-402d-911a-7799676ee8fe\nSuperblock backups stored on blocks: \n\t32768, 98304, 163840\n\nAllocating group tables: 0/6\b\b\b \b\b\bdone \nWriting inode tables: 0/6\b\b\b \b\b\bdone \nCreating journal (4096 blocks): done\nWriting superblocks and filesystem accounting information: 0/6\b\b\b \b\b\bdone","stderr":"mke2fs 1.45.4 (23-Sep-2019)\nSending 'cache' (76 KB) OKAY [ 0.220s]\nWriting 'cache' FAILED (remote: 'flash write failure')\nfastboot: error: Command failed"}
      Ignored again and then the UBports Recovery window opens with several options. The installer believes Ubuntu Touch was installed but the phone returns to the google start window and stays in loop.

      @rondarius
      Thanks for your you instructions. Unfortunately it didn't work.
      I ran the first line of the script as you can see bellow:

      And then, the second line:

      finished. total time: 1.870s

      And finally, the third line:

      I had the fastboot unlocked but it seems that it still requires that I enable the developers mode witch I can’t do because of the bootloop.
      Any idea on how to enable the developers mode from my computer.

    • RE: Nexus 5 - can't enable developers mode due to bootloop.

      @rondarius

      Indeed, a very good post by Rojtberg but still can't get rid of the bootloop.

      Following the post I got up to the point where I could run "fastboot boot image/CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.img"

      Doing so:

      1. It detects the devices.
      2. Fails to Mount System and Cache.
      3. Starts Rooting with SuperSU.
      4. Runs SuperSU installer
      5. Runs Boot image patcher
      6. And automatically reboots.
        And then returns to the old bootloop.
        It looks like the procedure was unable to install the SuperSU app because what is need is to, first, reinstall the whole system and not only install SuperSU.
        Is there a solution for this?
        Thanks.

    • RE: Nexus 5 - can't enable developers mode due to bootloop.

      @rondarius Thanks for your post. I have got to the point where I was able to unlock fastboot and even got to UBports recovery screen. From there on, it freezes. The link you provided looks like a very possible solution. I will report the result as soon as I have gone trough the indicated steps.

      @applee Exactly that. I will try "Rondarius" suggested link and report if it worked.

    • RE: Nexus 5 - can't enable developers mode due to bootloop.

      @capaterson I should add that I ran UBports installer using Ubuntu 20.04 and after unlocking the device and connecting it with an USB cable and ignoring errors, I got to the UBports Recovery screen. It would all work if I knew how to enable developers mode from my computer since I cannot do it from the cell phone.

    • RE: Nexus 5 - can't enable developers mode due to bootloop.

      @lakotaubp Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, it's not the power button. You can see it's working well because I have access to fastboot and recovery screens and have the device recognized using adb devices.
