Yup, despite the switch to a new host to check that the issue wasn't
related to the USB controller (see
https://wiki.canonical.com/UbuntuEngineering/CI/IncidentLog/2013-11-04-touch-devices-outage).

Physical access is required to reset the devices.

I can think of two paths from here:

- revisit the decision to flash devices so often and investigate how to
  ensure we can provide a clean environment (can we get help from
  system-image to setup an arbitrary image from inside the phone instead
  of flashing a whole image?),

- stress testing *locally* to get a better understanding on when and why
  the devices get stucked. Evan gave a link for an alternate connection
  through the audio jack but it's for the mako. Is there such a thing
  for the maguro ?
