Well - the last time I had flashed it before it worked with USB power from 
an USB Power supply.

I have now done the flash now from a 5V 3.5A power supply connected to the 
barrel connector - _exactly_ the same results.

Here the interresting portion of a pstree while flashing:
  â”├â”─sh,1025 /opt/scripts/boot/am335x_evm.sh
  â”│   â”└â”─bash,1161 /opt/scripts/tools/beaglebone-black-eMMC-flasher.sh
  â”│       â”└â”─rsync,2501 -aAXv /bin /boot /dev /etc /home /lib /lost+found 
...
  â”│           â”└â”─rsync,2502 -aAXv /bin /boot /dev /etc /home /lib ...
  â”│               â”└â”─rsync,2503 -aAXv /bin /boot /dev /etc /home /lib 
...

and the df at the time showing the linux partition on the sMMC being 
mounted:
root@beaglebone:~# df
Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs           1582864 1218260    282532  82% /

/dev/mmcblk1p2   1715936  516260   1110844  32% /tmp/rootfs
you see the new root-fs is mounted and is getting filled up...

and after the "flashing" of the eMMC the partitioning looks like this 
(prior to rebooting):
root@beaglebone:~# fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk1

Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 1920 MB, 1920991232 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 58624 cylinders, total 3751936 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

        Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk1p1   *        2048      198655       98304    e  W95 FAT16 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk1p2          198656     3751935     1776640   83  Linux

The same effect:

   - shutting down system
   - disconnecting power 
   - removing SD card
   - powering up (from barrel connector)
   - nothing happens on the serial line
   - disconnecting power
   - powering up (from barrel connector) pressing the "boot" button
   - "C" shows up every second - to be expected as there is no SD card 
   installed to boot from
   
The power supply is NOT the reason either for flash not working - so what 
is the problem?

Is there a means to check the pre-bootloader used to load and boot MLO to 
see if it is corrupted?
