Thanks for that. Yeah, I actually ran across that too. I mean, if my computer will detect the phone as mass storage I could also dd the .img file to it that way as well. But then the emmc would only be the size of the image file, unless I were to expand/resize it--something I've also done in the past. But not with an emmc. But I suppose the utility maybe creates a boot partition or something like that as well? Anyway, I'll look further into that.
