Installing PA (mer) on Nexus 7

[Matthias Raives]

It seems the primary difference is that the tutorial you linked has me
erase the boot and userdata partitions before flashing MOSLO onto my
device.  I could imagine the former helping, but I don't see why I would
need to erase the userdata partition (it should be erased upon unlocking
the bootloader anyways).

In any case, I was assuming the problem was due to the fact that I was
using a newer model of the Nexus 7.  Can you confirm/deny this assumption?

I will try following your tutorial in the near future, and will respond
with the results
