From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well F it then. Not worth my time 😂

Thanks for saving me the effort.

Not the reaction I was hoping for , I was hoping you might have better luck than me.

Been following the wiki, but when I try to flash for root partition, I get "data too large" . I've tried to wipe everything with TWRP, but it still shows the same error. Not sure how to proceed next.

You probably need a repartition. Can't link right now but check for "Nexus 7 flox repartition", assuming yours is 2013 Wi-Fi edition (code name flo).

Interesting, thanks. I followed a few links, and it looks like that might do it. It'll have to wait until I have a bit of time to sit down though.

Glad you found it easily. It's not hard to do but you need to follow the guide exactly and be cautious. Unless it changed, the script was taking care of almost everything as I remember.

Good luck!
