If it fails at different locations it sounds more like a timing issue to me.
Did you try writing it with another machine or OS? (Linux Live CD or something)
Also try other USB ports, I have some issues sometimes and I switch from USB 3 to 2 or visa versa and it just works fine.
Or you could be brave and do what I did at first when I didn't have a USB to eMMC module so...
Boot the Pine from SD and insert the eMMC at a time it will accept it. (for me that was after u-boot started I pressed a key to pause u-boot) inserted the eMMC and used mmc probe ; mmc dev 1 ; mmc write ... to get the SPL on the eMMC so at least does not hang at boot when it notices the empty eMMC.
