Although temporarily disabling the eMMC (by shorting a non-fatal pin) during bootup may cause it to fall to USB Downloader mode. Similar to the "pin-shorting" debricking method used on WRT54G routers to get OpenWRT on them back in the day...

All we need is a "sacrificial PW" and a daring soul to experiment on it...
