Hello Team,

*Goal*:

I am long time Linux user, developer but new to I am new to the
ubuntu-touch community I am trying to get ubuntu touch working on Nexus 6
(Shamu).

*Working so far*:
I have followed the Porting guide and compiled the ubuntu touch and have
the required boot.img, system.img and recovery.img. I have flashed the
boot.img and recovery.img to my device. I have downloaded the xenial
rootfs.

*Non working step*:

rootstock-touch-install is unable to find my device to write the system.img
when I am in the recovery mode.

*Question*:

1. Should adb and fastboot be able to detect the device in recovery mode?

2. Why does rootstock-touch-install not find my device?

Thanks,
Amish.
