        After installing android-tools on my Fedora machine I ran 'sudo fastboot oem unlock'. This is the output:

        (bootloader) Unlocking bootloader...
        FAILED ()
        Finished. Total time: 11.513s
        

        However, even though the output failed when I boot into the bootloader is displays the the Lock State is unlocked.
        I proceeded to UBports Installer and it is still in the status of Flashing firmware with no progression, it seems. It's been sitting in the status for a while.

          Did you enabled USB dev/debbug mode on the phone?

              @t3kg33k Boot to recovery, clear cache and factory reset and try again. Back up your stuff first of course.There's something on the Forum some where about installing on N7 will try and find.

                Yeah, I tried searching on the forum but couldn't find anything. Of course, my search-fu could be off.
                Trying to clear things up and factory reset now.

                  I think I am finally making some headway. I had downloaded the appimage. What I wasn't doing was launching it as sudo. Once I did that I am now seeing progress.

                          can you adb push /some/file /cache/recovery using some file you have around? the device should be in recovery mode

                              @t3kg33k can you manually push the same file to the same location

                              Title: Error: systemimage: Error: Error: Failed to push file 0: Error: Push failed: stdout: adb: error: failed to copy '/root/.cache/ubports/pool/ubports-aa9dad30db962019f4dfcc58162fbb86660bc3680767af7fc20506bbefc6675f.tar.xz' to '/cache/recovery/ubports-aa9dad30db962019f4dfcc58162fbb86660bc3680767af7fc20506bbefc6675f.tar.xz': remote Bad file number

                              so, that should be

                              adb push /root/.cache/ubports/pool/ubports-aa9dad30db962019f4dfcc58162fbb86660bc3680767af7fc20506bbefc6675f.tar.xz           /cache/recovery/ubports-aa9dad30db962019f4dfcc58162fbb86660bc3680767af7fc20506bbefc6675f.tar.xz

                                  We thought about it too, but it appears that is Harrisson Ford in the picture (from Blade Runner).
                                  So we can't really say that it's Dobey's... At least the color is different and the username is different too 🙂

                                      Dude, I've had and used that avatar for several years. I didn't know he was using it. It just shows we both have the same great taste in movies. It's easily the best movie ever.

                                        so, that should be

                                        adb push /root/.cache/ubports/pool/ubports-aa9dad30db962019f4dfcc58162fbb86660bc3680767af7fc20506bbefc6675f.tar.xz           /cache/recovery/ubports-aa9dad30db962019f4dfcc58162fbb86660bc3680767af7fc20506bbefc6675f.tar.xz
                                        

                                        I can as if I run the adb command as sudo. Without I got permission denied.

                                          Update: That clued me in. So, this time I ran the UBports Installer AppImage as sudo and it looks to have been successful this time.
                                          Thanks for the assist.
