@xander2m Thank you
Yes I did as exactly as you suggested...with bootloader unlocked and debugging enabled. Everything seems to start
then I get this message:
Unable to Mount Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi
Unable to open MPT device "[usb:002,010]"
Both Nexus 7's gave the same message.
The installation ends with that message on Linux Mint
and the brown Ubuntu screen on the Nexus 7.
The Ubuntu screen says...
Ubuntu Touch (CWM-based) Recovery v6.0.4.6
and gives me options...all of which I have tried.
The very last line of the Ubuntu terminal reads...
E: Can't open /cashe/recovery/last_install

Have also tried to install ubuntu-device-flash after getting the repository from repo.ubports.com and then
apt install ubuntu.device.flash
But it always ends with...
E: unable to locate package ubuntu.device.flash

I can try to show you screen shot photos if there is a way to post them here.
Thanks for your help

I am using Linux Mint which i believe should work with
Ubports. Is that correct?

That's correct. I can't help you further because I don't have a Nexus, but Linux Mint should not be the problem here.

Someone may be able to help you if you can explain exactly what happened, and at what point it failed, and what that failure looked like.

From what I've heard, it's pretty hard to brick any device using UBports even if it may seem like that's what happened. Don't despair just yet.

Thanks much for reply and for locating this thread. I will try post more info here.

Hello am new here.
Have problem installing touch on Nexus 7 2013 Flo
have tried on two different Nexus 7's and both failed at the same place using Ubports.
I wanted to try another method that uses "ubuntu device flash" but couldn't find that program to install it.

I have tried to search for help here and found other people have issues with Nexus 7 also. But I can find no solutions posted. Does anyone know of solution or some helpful info?
Otherwise I think I have just created two Nexus 7 bricks.
