Felipe, Thanks for that. I'm pretty new to the BBB (mine's a 4GB Rev C unit) and was using the Network-over-USB method to ssh into it via Terminal on one of my Macs. I run 2 x Macs on Sierra with the necessary HoRNDIS and FTDI drivers installed. All was good - until I managed to flash the eMMC with the latest Debian image (to be fair I did mess around quite a lot initially trying to follow various posts on the topic until I realised that the uEnv.txt file I was looking for was on the uSD card and NOT in the eMMC root folder... I mention this because I may have screwed something up in getting there !)
However, the fact is that now that the update is complete I cannot log back in to the BBB. Neither does it present itself anymore as a Network device... Driving me mad... It does, however, power up and appears (from the Usr LEDs) to be booting correctly with Debian 8 installed from the uSD card... but I can't 'see' the BBB anymore from my Mac over USB. OK... so, not having a serial/USB adapter I though the simplest method would be to re-flash the eMMC with a 'Flasher image' -ie- one that does NOT require me to modify the uEnv. txt file (because I can't log in to accomplish this). Seemed a pretty simple idea - restore my semi-bricked BBB to default condition. My problem now is I can't find a Flasher image (one where the uEnv.txt file is already modified to auto-flash the eMMC) to work with that works. I've located and downloaded two images, formatted my uSD card and bit copied over the image to the uSD card, powered down the BBB (external 2A PSU), inserted the uSD card and powered on to have the Usr LEDs do their cylon scan 'thing' and stop with all LEDs lit. A subsequent power down / up cycle simply results in the BBB 'hanging' with Usr LEDs 0 and 1 permanently ON and nothing else happening ! If I power down, switch the uSD card for a Debian 8 (non-auto flasher) image and power up, all, once again, appears well with the BBB - Usr LEDs wise - BUT I still can't log in via Terminal or see the BBB as an available network device or log in via a browser... I have ordered a suitable Serial/USB adapter but it won't be here for a week or so and I'm getting very frustrated and impatient to make some progress - even if it's just to be able to log in again via ssh / browser !! So, I guess where I think I'm at is that I need a verified (auto - already modified uEnv.txt file) 4GB Flasher image (any age / version of Debian) so that I can re-start with the BBB... without making whatever mistake I made in the process of getting as far as I got to the last time !! I do have a windows laptop that I could also use but haven't used Win (it's XP) for years now. Anyone have any ideas on where to get a verified working auto FLASHER image form please ? My logic is that flashing that image back into the eMMC would fix any/all of my cock-ups and enable me to log in once more from Terminal / a browser... Open to any and all thoughts.
