it boots to a special mode if a volume key is held during initial boot. flashrom doesn't recognize it on my system, when in that mode.
i enabled usb debugging, and it recognises the usb cable. adb recognises the device, but says permission is needed: $ adb devices List of devices attached TITANNEA00001688 no permissions; see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html] no permission dialog pops on the phone. the url just says eventually to enable usb debugging, and then contact the manufacturer if it doesn't work.
