Asus Nexus 7 (flo) ubuntu-device-flash

[Jonathan Ferguson]

The starting point was an install of Android by Asus Service Australia. - Then updates were applied by myself once connected to Wi-Fi.

Instructions were followed to the letter: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/

The Nexus 7 (flo) remains connected to Ubuntu in the case that installation can be resumed or it can be unbricked by myself.

I have successfully downgraded the bootloader to 4.02 using 'flash-all.sh' and "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flo-flo-04.02.img".

Meanwhile using 'flash-all.sh' and by invoking the commands directly for each of the image files for the operating system lead to the Nexus 7 showing only the white 'Google' logo and unlocked padlock.

I also have an Asus Nexus 7 (tilapia) which was unbricked by Asus Service Australia whom installed Android 5.1.1 on to it and this same flo.

Do I need to have Asus Service Australia to downgrade the tilapia to Android 4.4.4 and unbrick the flo for me?
