Bug Description
When flashing a device and /system isn't mounted getprop isn't available, there is one quick solution for users who aren't aware of the mechanics and it's to manually add a -d [device] but the help message on failure doesn't make that clear.
The other solution (needs a bit more research) for blissfulness is to try and mount /system if not mounted and check for getprop there, although this would lead to inconsistent states where people say they are in recovery and /system doesn't have android or doesn't exist.

* phablet-flash: Switching default from saucy to trusty for cdimage-
touch. (LP: #1245569)
* phablet-flash: not formatting data when already on a system image
and not doing a bootstrap and removing support from cdimage ->
upgradable image backup support. --no-backup is a deprecated option.

* get error information from phablet-config package installation Since
adb-shell sends the actual stderr via stdout, we were hiding the key
information to a user if a package failed to install. This prints it
out for them.
* remove an incorrect logging statement about rebooting the device.
