Cannot boot any image anymore pogoplug V4

I've had some issues since I've updated to the newer uboot on my V4, and I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem or uboot environment variable problem.
I used to be able to boot up since I updated the uboot, but it seems after a power outage that I am locked out.
My netcat still works, and I can change variables, but I cannot communicate after any image supposedly boots.
I have tried multiple usb sticks, rootfs versions(3.18.5-3.14) and rescue fs as well.
Can anybody see any issues in my env that may be causing issues?
Pulling my hair out.
Thanks!

@ t3ch42 ,

Your envs are OK.

It's very likely that the rootfs was corrupted after a power outage because you're using ext2

rootfstype=ext2

Try to recreate the rootfs 3.16 again. This time use a single Ext3 partition on the USB drive, set its label to rootfs. And set u-boot env rootfstype to Ext3. Basically, follow the instruction very closely (and doing all these activity as root user).

In netconsole,

setenv rootfstype ext3

After booted into Debian, set it permanently

fw_setenv rootfstype ext3

Also, note that when you want to test the boot in netconsole, you should run bootcmd_usb (not usb_boot).

Whew. That's good to know. I looked at everything and removed the reference to booting the external file from the dts folder. I was able to get the plug to boot up on 3.16 again using the setenv rootfstype ext3. I thought I had wandered through that step, but I may have missed it...

Anyhow, I set the variable and everything seemed to work out.

I tested extensively, and that switch either killed the boot or allowed it to continue.

Thanks again!
