tophnealTry disabling your emmc, booting from a live SD install, turn on and rebind the emmc, then try repairing your /boot

when you say a "live SD install", is this something other than one of the many img files from here like the latest of ubuntu+xfce4?
I may be in a similar boat as OP. dd on my debian install wrote me a bootable uSD which i booted from. dd from there to my emmc must've blown up my boot partition? I wasn't sure if it was an issue with the uSD (forgot to run "sync" at the end with the emmc install, and may've removed the uSD card before shutdown was finished. even the uSD wasn't booting), so i reflashed the uSD from a windows PC (only working pc with an SD slot remaining in the house, lol) using Etcher, and the uSD still won't boot.
found this thread, flipped the emmc switch and it's still not booting off the uSD.
edit: just kidding. tried mrfixit's stock debian image and it booted right up. i guess that answers the question? not all bootable SD images are "live images"? idk
