Hi,

I just saw these mails, but is there any reason you're trying to go
about flashing this device the hard way? There are already images built
for hammerhead, which you can install using an alternate server as
described on the wiki page:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices#Server_at_http:.2BAC8ALw-system-image.tasemnice.eu

Not trying to discourage. Just curious as to what you're doing. There is
an issue with the latest builds, where the screen does not unblank when
pressing the power button, after the phone has been removed from the
charger, and could use some help with getting fixed, if you have enough
knowledge to figure the issue out.
