flash Nexus 4 - device mako not found

jrt

Hi, I am trying to flash to a Nexus 4 when I run the device flash command I get a device not found error:

sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=mako
--channel=15.04/devel --bootstrap

"Device mako not found on server http://system-image.ubports.com channel ubuntu-touch/stable"

However, it starts starts downloading running it with device bacon or manta. I see the mako directory and files on the website. Also tried other directories for mako but all return same error.

Try

ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=mako --list-channels

(note: there's --help as well)

I've a Nexus 4, mako, which is running the last version of Ubuntu Touch from Ubuntu and was looking at upgrading it to a UBPorts version and I get:

ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=mako --list-channels
unknown flag `list-channels'

ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=mako 
2018/02/26 21:14:13 Device is |mako|
Device mako not found on server http://system-image.ubports.com channel ubuntu-touch/stable

I'm doing this on Debian Stretch with ubuntu-device-flash manually installed like this:

Do I need a different version of ubuntu-device-flash?

I can see the device with adb devices and can boot it into fastboot.

Found the solution:

adb reboot bootloader

Then boot it into recovery and then:

ubuntu-device-flash touch --device=mako --server=http://system-image.ubports.com --channel=15.04/stable

This ends with:

2018/02/26 21:42:20 error pushing: adb: error: connect failed: no devices/emulators found

But after rebooting it it is up and running 15.04 without any problems :-)

Sorry for not trying harder before posting above!
