Well, after continued research I finally found a post that addressed the issue. Evidently that first move to flash the emmc that failed was the culprit. tow boot must have a functional OS on the emmc to work properly. I went back and ran manjaro phosh of the SD, downloaded it on the phone, expanded it, ran dd to write to emmc and now tow-boot works. At least it is not rebooting and I am able to connect it to the computer via usb and and currently flashing directly.
