The steps you mentioned, from 1 to 6 - thats EXACTLY what I did (since I've never had this problem I described in my first post here, I just wanted to make sure I'll take no chances this time) and everything worked great - and yet, the results are laying in front of you - my device won't boot

P.s, when you write "3. Setup flasher to flash kernel, leave at 'waiting for USB device prompt'", by "flash kernel" you mean flash the firmware, right?
Yes, at step 3 I meant firmware. All I was trying to imply was that flashing is a black art.

FOr example I never had to press and hold 'U' to get the flash to work, however I did have to take the battery out between eMMC and fiasco image flashing.

From your description of things , flashing at the screen with 5 dots(?) sounds totally nuts. I would try flashing again without said madness.
