Bug Description

The instructions for using ubuntu-device-flash on https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/ need to be updated to reflect the new subcommand system in that tool. For example: "ubuntu-device-flash --channel=trusty --revision=299" won't work , the correct command would be ""ubuntu-device-flash --revision=299 touch --channel=trusty" (probably also shouldn't be using trusty as an example)

Ogra: can you suggest something we can add here?

Another example is the use of "ubuntu-device-flash --list-channels" on https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/image-channels/ which should now be "ubuntu-device-flash query --list-channels --device=mako" (or similar)

also at https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/image-channels/:

ubuntu-device-flash --list-channels

should be:

ubuntu-device-flash query --list-channels --device=DEVICE

The list of preferred channels is outdated as well (http://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/image-channels/).

The recommended channel is now ubuntu-touch/stable instead of ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09.
Moreover, the recommended one for the N7 and N10 is ubuntu-touch/ubuntu/devel, which hasn't received an update in years!

There has been a general update to the page.

Michael or Niklas, please tell me if other changes are needed before we can close that bug.

Shouldn't this page also include the the cdimaages? It is reference on the page for images. ;

I hope I'm not to far off.
