>From your symptoms, it sounds like your eMMC may be confused or borked,
probably with a bad sector or two somewhere.  The on-chip controller is
supposed to deal with this gracefully, but in my experience error cases
are generally not well dealt with across the industry.

Try wiping the entire eMMC, specifically by discarding all blocks (this
tells the embedded eMMC controller it doesn't have to save the contents
of any blocks.  Use the blkdiscard command (from Jessie) or format the
block device with ext4 (which performs a discard on all blocks) if
you're using wheezy.

Then try to dd to the entire device.  If this fails, I suspect your eMMC
is bad.

Anyone else got a suggestion for testing/verifying the eMMC?
