PogoPlug v4 bricked

[retali8]

I just got my PogoPlug v4 and followed the instructions at http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 ... g-series-4 exactly as it says and upon rebooting my PogoPlug the green light would just flash. I ordered a USB TTL serial cable and soldered it and it's returning..

Does this just mean that it can't see my thumbdrive that's connected to the top port? Do I need to create a 'revert' folder on another thumbdrive to fix it, or what should I do?

Far from "bricked"...

Follow moonman's instructions and redo your USB flash drive. Using a higher quality USB drive wouldn't hurt either, assuming you're using a generic.
