Hello George, For the time being I cannot help you. First because I also don't know what is happening. Second because after what has happened to my BBBL I didn't tried to reflash the eMMC. I'm still doing some stuff with it, booting from the sdCard (and working fine, but I didn't tried to update or upgrade so, don't know if it fails or not at some point) and until I'm finished with doing that I will do nothing with the eMMC. When I do, then I'll tell you what was the result: a bricked BBBL or success.
The more savvy guys could help us but or there is no one in the forum or they are not willing to help us. My thoughts are: some software issues with Debian image; issue with the eMMC; issue with the electronics that choose from where to boot, something like a fried resistor, a chip or something like that.
