Bug Description

I just upgraded the Nexus 4 for the first time in a month or two and found adb frequently goes AWOL. adb often can't find any devices till the phone is rebooted. And even then, it only works for a while before vanishing again...

$ adb devices

When the Nexus goes AWOL, the PC it's connected to gets this in dmesg:
    USB disconnect, device number 24

I have even tried reflashing everything today. Went back to Android and then phablet-flashed again. Still the problem persists.

OK, think I found the problem. It's Mir's android installation script. It hasn't been updated to work for flipped images and inadvertently kills adb on the device.

    implementation.

  [ Daniel van Vugt ]

  * Fix documentation to suit the new "flipped" phablet images. Also
