title: Flashing BeagleBone Black from microSD card?
body: <p>I am trying to flash a BeagleBone Black from a microSD card. Here are my steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Insert 8GB microSD into reader on computer</li>
  <li><code>dd bs=1M if=debian-jessie-console-armhf-flasher-2015-02-25-2gb.img of=/dev/sdc1</code></li>
  <li>Open gparted, make sure /dev/sdc1 has boot flag</li>
  <li>Remove microSD from computer, insert into BBB</li>
  <li>Hold S2 button and insert miniUSB for power</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>However, nothing happens. The LEDs do not flash and the BBB does not even boot normally. If I remove the miniUSB and reinsert it without holding S2, it boots its old install on the eMMC. I have also tried this method with the <code>bone-debian-8.7-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2017-03-19-4gb.img</code> image, same result. </p>
  
  <p>I have also tried booting the BBB normally and running <code>./init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh</code>, but it only gives this output before exiting:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Starting eMMC Flasher
  -----------------------------
  Checking for Valid BBB EEPROM header
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>At this point I am stumped because this is all the documentation I can find. This should work, and I have <code>dd</code>'d five different cards and tested on three different BBBs now with no results.</p>
