Re: Fwd: Trying to install Ubuntu touch on "Nexus 7 3G (tilipia)"

 

Well, if that's the case, Canonical shouldn't be putting instructions up in
the official ubuntu touch installation pages.

Quote from the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install

"*If you have a nexus 7 3G, pass -d grouper: *

*    phablet-flash ubuntu-system --no-backup -d grouper"*
