You should try flashing the factory image for Nexus 5 in Fastboot. - Download Nexus 5X (bullhead) Factory image Android 7.1.1 [here][1] or Android 6.0.1 [here][2]. And unzip the file. - Setup all necessary drivers - For commands to succeed, you should unlock the bootloader: `fastboot oem unlock` or `fastboot flashing unlock`. The device will show a confirmation screen. (This erases all data on the device.) - Open a terminal and navigate to where you unzipped system image previously downloaded. - Execute the `flash-all script`. This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware, and system. Hope this helps you out.
