Install Ubuntu Touch on the Nexus 7 2013 WiFi
Note: Unfortunately the Nexus 7 2013 WiFi's Bootloader can not be unlocked if the device was sold with Android. That means, that Ubuntu Touch can only be installed on the Nexus 7 2013 WiFi Ubuntu Edition, not on the Android version!
There is not a lot we can do about that, and luckily most devices do not have that restriction. If you are the proud owner of a Nexus 7 2013 WiFi Ubuntu Edition, you are not affected by this, and you can simply use the UBports Installer to switch to the UBports version of Ubuntu Touch.
Note: Unfortunately the Nexus 7 2013 WiFi's Bootloader is locked while the device is running Android. That means that you will have to install the manufacturer's Ubuntu image before you can switch to the latest Ubuntu Touch release using the UBports Installer.
This is just a small annoyance, but it's not difficult and luckily most devices do not have that restriction. Also, if you are the proud owner of a Nexus 7 2013 WiFi Ubuntu Edition, you are not affected by this, and you can simply use the UBports Installer to switch to the UBports version of Ubuntu Touch.
