That is what I tried to say. The small u-boot loaded but is failing to read the extended CSD configuration parameters from the eMMC. Flashing the wrong (small, stripped) u-boot image could cause this behavior. This conversation has gone on a long time in a bunch of threads (and irc) and we still lack important details about what caused this situation, so we can begin to understand how to fix it.

Running the wrong u-boot seems a bit deeper than "soft-bricked". The eMMC harware is not destroyed if u-boot runs as well as it does. To me, that says "wrong firmware" is likely the cause of the described problems.

Meanwhile, minutes, hours, days and weeks are burned attending to these elusive/evasive threads and posts by damon12...

I hope staphoent does not get his kindle blacklisted by sharing the full firmware image as originally requested in another thread.
