Need help giving new life to a previously Bricked Pogoplug V4

I am in desperate need to get help regarding this. I had previously installed an ARCH system on a pogoplug 4 successfully. I purchased another pogoplug off the ebay. It came used and bricked unfortunately. I got refund though so no worries there but seller didnt want it back.

I got curious. I established a serial connection to it. From research here I found out previous owner tried to flash on top of 2011 U-boot.
I tried to load 2017 U-boot but messed up right when I was about to flash boot environment. Due to unexpected mousepad touching, it copied some commands/output from previous code and it got put into it :(

After further research, I was able to make a debian rootfs USB and it is able to boot from it. Then I tried to use Qui's guide to install archlinux on it but it couldn't find mmcblk0 and I had to stop.

My question is that if there is any way to restore it in a way that I can boot it from sdcard. I plan to use it as samba server and transmission torrents.

Following are the boot logs. First is without usb and second one is with usb. I am putting it different posts just to keep things clear

Your box is actually in pretty good shape right now!

Your USB rootfs has some problem. But let's go straight to the SD card booting issue for now and you will see what need to be fixed for the USB rootfs.

1. Create the rootfs on SD card like you did for the USB rootfs. Follow the instruction very closely (being root, single Ext3 partition ...).

Note that you need to skip step 4 (this is the problem with your USB rootfs):

Quote

4. Create uImage with embedded DTB for booting with older u-boots (2012 or earlier). Skip this step if you have installed the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood (or are installing this u-boot at the same time).

3 . Unplug the USB drive and plug this SD card into the Pogoplug

2. Power up, interrupt serial console and,

setenv devices 'mmc usb ide'
setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-pogoplug_v4.dtb'

And then boot

boot

Thanks Bodi, man! you came to help right away.
Yes, I don't really care about usb boot as I need usb port to connect hard drives anyway.
I did exactly as you said. It worked well. I am posting my output just for future reference to help other people.
I will try to install samba and other packages on it now.
One question, should I try to fix things in pogoplug to make it bootable if sdcard is not available? or should I just leave things like that and just backup sd card?

Cool!

Backup the SD card. And you can try boot with that USB as a fallback, too. Rescue system in NAND is something extra, no need to spend too much time on it. If it fails to boot with SD card, you can boot with USB and fix the SD card while in Debian. And you also have serial console so even less needs for rescue system in NAND.

Your current u-boot env is capable of booting SD card, or USB, or SATA. In that order of scanning.

Hi Bodi, Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help. I was able to save it from being landfill.
For the first time, I learned to connect serial console, edit rcS file, setting up, editing and saving environment in past few days. Not really worth my time money wise but it came up as a learning challenge that I couldn't lose LOL :)
Now it has samba and transmission running. I have backed up the SD card. Yeah, you are right with bootable USB, SD card and serial console, I don't need to worry about NAND rescue thing.
One thing I do want to share for future readers of this thread is that I didn't solder Serial Connections. I used the thin wires that come with packaging of bread,cables etc. I glued the wires close to the connections, with exposed ends on serial points on circuit board, put a rubber on top of them and used a binder clip to keep them in place.
