Stuck installing Plasma Active on Nexus 7

So I've been trying to install Plasma Active on my Nexus 7. I followed the PA wiki and everything was going well. I got MOSLO installed, and then extracted the PA tarball and then rebooted. It didn't boot into PA, but the wiki mentioned that it might not. So it has a section describing some commands to run in fastboot to get it to boot PA at this point.
The problem is that after I installed MOSLO and extracted PA, I can no longer see the Nexus 7 with fastboot. When I run "fastboot devices" or "adb devices" nothing shows up.
Any one have any thoughts on what might be going on?
Thanks for your help!

Your N7 is in bootloader mode and all PC drivers are installed correct?

Correct. Fastboot worked fine when I unlocked the N7, and then when I installed moslo. But after installing PA, fastboot no longer sees the N7.

What exactly is moslo? It may have interfered with the bootloader.

The wiki isn't totally clear on what part MOSLO plays.
I would link you to the wiki that I followed, but the forum is preventing me from putting urls in my post.

Does it do ANYTHING? Hopefully it isn't in nvedit mod.
ADB is only good when you have the phone booted up and USB Debugging turned on.
Fastboot commands only work when the device is in bootloader mode.
If your phone is past bootloader mode, but getting stuck in a bootloop or something, then ADB will be unavailable too.
Try Turning the phone off completely, holding VOLUME DOWN + UP + POWER until it boots into the Bootloader. Then Connect it up to the PC and run your fastboot commands.

Can you get into any form of custom recovery? If so you have a few options that could help.

If I hold power and volume down, I can boot into the bootloader. same if I hold power and both volume keys. That's what gives me fastboot access (or would normally).
I can do that. And I can boot into the MOSLO. But I cannot get into Plasma Active. One of the last errors that I can see before MOSLO reboots is "no rootfs found. ignoring."
When I first started, I could hold power and volume down to get into the bootloader, and my computer could see it from fastboot. That is how I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the MOSLO. But once I installed Plasma Active, I couldn't see the device in fastboot anymore. And instead of booting into Plasma Active, it just shows the dead android on its back with the red triangle exclamation point.
Since the xda forum won't let me post links, if you google "install plasma active on nexus 7", the second option is the wiki for the project I'm following.

No. If I'm in the bootloader and tell it to reboot into "recovery mode", it just shows me the dead android with the red triangle exclamation point. I imagine that is because android is no longer on the device. Which is what I want. I'm trying to put a new OS on here. Though I don't suppose that helps much.

Android with red triangle and exclamation mark means you don't have a custom recovery installed.

No fastboot and no custom recovery...does MOSLO have any form of options?

So does this replace android completely or does it dual boot?

Did a little research and there is a dual boot option, you just use the dual boot tool and flash a zip and you have plasma active as a ROM.

Yeah, there's the dual boot option. Though I chose to go with the single OS option. In that case, it does repalce Android completely.

Maybe search for another tutorial, reinstall your drivers or do the other things that are suggested if you search for your problem.

It's one of the "unlockable" models. Use the "unlock-relock" tool or the unlock script from the unlock guide.

If this helps,whenever I boot into recovery now,a red text saying LGE SECURITY ERROR: BOOT IMAGE or something like that

So you flashed a recovery before unlocking?

If your device doesn't boot at all, do a kdz reflash. If you can boot to the system, use one of the methods mentioned above; you only need root and USB debugging on to use it. If you don't have root but can't boot to recovery, try the "root many android" method from the index, that might do it. If it still fails, do a kdz reflash, then start again (root - unlock - recovery)

Can't launch recovery

Hello guys,
After I flashed Android Revolution HD 40.3 I cant launch the recovery and the phone keeps rebooting. I just realized that I should've used TWRP instead of ClockModrecovery. Which I tried before but could'nt get rid of the ClockModrecovery. Please I need help.
Thanks

Go into boot loader connect to your pc and type fastboot erase cache. If u dont have the adb and fastboot files you need to download the android sdk tools

[Q] Stuck at 'this build is for development purposes only' cycle

Hello everyone,
as title says, im stuck on booting HTC Desire C device. HTC logo on white background with "this build is for development purposes only...", cycling over and over. Mistake i made is when i was using 'All-In-One-Kit-v2.0' i forgot to install CMW, flashed "boot900.img" wich is overclocking kernel, flashed it, powered off the device, turned it back on and got stuck there. Im struggling whole morning to get this done... searched whole google about this, tried to flash "recovery.img", flashing new ROMs, unfortunately, nothing has been done. Hopefully you could help me and i would really appreciate that. Im newbie here, my english is not that good soo..

Turn it off, press volume down key, and hold it with power until you get to fastboot. Then connect it to your PC, and flash a Cwm, and then lower frequency kernel...

If you could explain to me how to flash cwm while im in fastboot, it would be really awesome... Btw "thanks" button is hit!

There are plenty of similar topics here so read around for details, but the command itself is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Recovery.img should be your cwm ...

Well I think i got everything set up... but i ran into a problem last night. It happens i cant find my device attached under "adb devices". I have installed drives needed, installed adb and fastboot on pc, nothing seems to work with me... Its driving me crazy..

You can't find it because adb works only if it is booted. Try typing fastboot devices

Yep, it is in the same folder as adb and fastboot and im getting this message after "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img": "Error: cannot load 'recovery.img'"

Well now I really don't know. Try fastboot boot recovery.img as a temporary solution... That should just boot that recovery, without installing it to partition.

Hmmm... it says for recovery.img no such file or directory even tho it is in c:\adb

I just tried "fastboot flash recovery C:\adb\recovery.img"
And i got this:
"sending 'recovery' (4888KB)...

Finished. Total time: 0.031s"
Im really trying to solve this out, it is bugging me whole day...
EDIT: I tried different cables, different usb ports, placing recovery.img into different folders and fastbooting from there. Nothing seems to help...

Bump... anyone? Please?

Do you have a sync manager program installed? If so, uninstall it (it should leave the drivers installed) and try again, the sync manager identifies your handset and takes control so flashing gets interfered with
What version of Windows? (I've not read whole thread) Win7 upwards has driver install problems so search the forums/threads
Only use on USB 2.0 ....3.0 is a higher speed than our handsets are capable of

I have a unlocked X, was trying to install a new rom via recovery and something went wrong...but I forgot to do backup so now its on a boot loop and I didnt have USB debugging enabled. Is there anyway to load new another rom to the phone so that I can install via recovery since I dont have usb enabled?

Yes power the device off by holding the power button and volume down, after the display is off let go of the power button. You can flash recovery or boot to recovery from there

I can boot into recovery but how do I transfer the new rom to the phone so I can install via recovery? I dont know how to move it from my PC to the phone.

You should look up side loading via adb and most newer recoveries allow you drag and drop once it's booted, you are using a custom recovery for your phone correct?

yes team win recovery v2.6.3.1

In advance you will find sideload via adb, I am sure you have fastboot/adb commands on your PC as well an understanding of how sideloading works

First link, option 5. Had a similar problem where I can go to recovery but my internal was deleted...I had nothing. Nor did I have a system.....I couldn't restore a backup nor flash a new ROM. I had nothing but recovery....so I googled the 5.1 firmware update and modem....and followed option 5 with mfastboot. Phone is up and running fine.
