[John Kim <johnkim.ubuntu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

My name is John Kim, a newcomer to the Ubuntu Phone community, and I 
contribute to Ubuntu Docs and Quality team.  For the Quality team, I 
intend to start writing automated testcases for core apps.  My first 
task will be the music-app.

My development environment is complete.  I installed the Ubuntu SDK and 
Qt Creator on my 13.10 laptop, and I successfully installed Ubuntu Phone 
into my Nexus 7 as well as SSH to it.  I personally prefer to ssh over 
USB than over IP because it's just faster.

Normally, after minutes of inactivity, my Nexus 7 will power off on its 
own.  I can power again after holding the power button for a moment.  
But as soon as I ran the music-app testcases with my Nexus 7 plugged in 
(QtCreator recognized it and set the device as development), which 
failed, my Nexus 7 was missing a music and video app icon. *When it 
powered down, my Nexus 7 would get stuck perpetually in the Google 
screen with the unlocked lock image at the bottom. * The only way I 
could turn it off was hold the power and the volume down button, and go 
to "Power Off"; otherwise, my Nexus 7 will reboot back to the boot 
screen over and over again.

I would like to know how I can restore my device with a fresh Ubuntu 
Phone build.  I haven't tried yet, but I'm quite sure that 'adb devices' 
won't recognize my Nexus 7 on neither the fastboot mode nor the Google 
screen.

Thanks!
