tools/install_on_android.sh kills adb, rendering the device uncontactable (since flipped images)

[Daniel van Vugt]

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
List of devices attached

Image: 20130726.1
Device: Nexus 4 mako

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.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

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.
